Hey everyone! Mipsacri here. It’s been, what, two days since I wrote my last blog? Wow, a record.
Pondering the evil fate that awaits me? Well, actually, I’ve been accomplishing the impossible.

After failing horribly to find a lama two days ago, even with the help of my dear friend, Shmooks, I decided to go back to training, determined to beat my rival, Za. Right now he’s level 71, and for the past two days, I’ve been training my butt off. So, I have jumped from 63 to 65 in two days. That’s right, 100% a day. I don’t really know what’s gotten into me.. but that’s okay. It’s been tiring, and I’ve spent almost every waking hour on the computer, but I’m very proud.

I guess to understand this story fully, I’d have to explain from the top, my guild. My lovely guild, labeled ‘MaskOfSmak’ for reasons which I will explain shortly.

Long before I was ever introduced into this madhouse of a group, there was a group of friends on Gaia. Za, Kitsu, and Shmooks. I really don’t know how they met, and that, I’m sure is a totally interesting story, but we’re not going to get into that today. Let’s see if I remember correctly. I was about mid-3x, it was probably last August or so.. that I ran into Shmooks and Kitsu at Wild Boars. My first impression was that they were both very nice, and refreshingly literate, (although Shmooki was a bit reserved at first) and after a while of getting to know those two, I added them both to my buddy list. At that point, I was happy to make two new friends, but didn’t think too much of it.

A few weeks later, somehow I stumbled upon them again, and we began hunting together again. Eventually I got to meet Za, whom initially to me seemed very serious and to himself. Which in the end, was exactly the opposite. He’s practically the crazy spam king! And, so.. after a time, I can’t remember the exact day. It was before guilds were even invented however.. we formed The Mask Of Smak. Shortened for Mipsacri, Arcel (Za), Shmooki, KitsuneAyame (Kitsu).. etc. Get it?

Eventually we grew and everyone brought friends into the group, and we formed a guild, with Za as our leader. We’re all pretty close-knit, the four of us, and Dave (TheMagicPie), Rae.. (I can’t remember her username! Bah, it’s so late, but she is totally awesome.), Shadow (ShadowRhasta), Fee (RyorinFee) and many more. We’re all great friends now. We’ve gotten new members and some old ones have left, but we’re still MaskOfSmak. Always will be.

As I sit here at 4:30 AM, and ramble on sleepily, I remember all the good times I have with my friends. How we always cheer each other on. Being there for each other. I hope that’ll never end.

Level 64…. and 65, Ready, Start!
