ok first off, the good news. i’m level 50! **victory dance** which means i can equip all that udine equipment that’s been clogging my bank lately.
but anyway.
i’ve finally found a good party system to go to dark swamp with. 2 tanks, and a cleric. 2 clerics if i can possibly find another. (i usually go at 3 am, so it’s usually a take what you can get situation).

well by now you should all now how much i absolutely adore my best buddy Azuna, well, today i killed him!
totally on accident though.

i went to dark swamp and on the way i bumped into another seal master (so she said, but she had alot better of a cleric build, she didn’t even have shadow insignia) right by the portal, as i was circling around trying to decide if she was gonna PK me once i got in, she sailed over and asked my to party. my policy with the maze maps, if someone asks me to party i just go with it, better to be with them then against them. all though she originally thought i was going to kill her.

after we got in Azuna PM’d me on his new char (a tank) and asked if would go to forsaken city with him and his bro, but i can’t get in anymore because my level is too high now.
so since there was only me, the cleric/seal master and her buddy, i invited them to come to dark swamp with us. (both were tanks, which is sooooo useful, they can take the beating that the rest of the party can’t) anyway, i hadn’t seen his new char since it was level 15 or so, so with the new equip and junk, i REALLY didn’t recognize him. now when in the mazes, most parties have a rule to talk only in party chat, so we can hide our strategy. well when azuna and his bro showed up they shot at us from their boats, which of course meant war, now had i known it was them, i would’ve just let it go as a mistake or something. but the second they landed, we slaughtered them.

about half an hour later i asked azuna if he was still coming to party with us, when he asked who else was coming i told him there was a cleric and a tank with me on DS already. then he dropped the bomb shell “ooooooooh your the ones who killed us!”
X_X
i immediately felt terrible about it, i kill my best buddy! he took it pretty well though.
then i i told my party about the situation and everyone not only felt bad, but embarassed.
Azuna forgave all of us ^_^ which made it seem a little less terrible.
i also finally got a medal of valor, so i can PK outside of the mazes by the argent city bar.
i can now PK eddy, when i said i was gonna kill him, i meant it ^_^
and even as a tank, with my beautiful little seals he can’t attack me!
but i learned a valuable lesson yesterday, a swordsman is a double threat, especially the little ones.
just because you seal their skills doesn’t mean your home free.
you’ve gotta act fast, seal of elder tehn shadow insignia, almost simultaneously.
and if they all the sudden just “appear” infront of you, your not lagging, their using stealth.
