Trust me. If you saw this in the movies, you’ll kill for a refund.
——————————————————————————

Ten minutes after I arrive at the Icy Cold Path map and picked the left side of the ground level to train in, I was approached by a Spearman with the eye-smarting IGN of … uh, I forgot. Refer to SSes for the name, I only remember XXs and numbers. Whichever it is, he simply started swearing at me with the most horrible Hokkien vulgarities and telling, oh no, frigging commanding me to ‘can you ffs cc?’

I would have changed channels at this point in time if a) he was training at the spot in the first place, but he wasn’t; he was sitting on his chair on the safe island in the middle of the map, and b) if he had asked nicely instead of flying off the bat and cursing at me right from the beginning.

Re: above linked SSes. He had started shooting off his potty mouth while following me wherever I went to spoil my Mob-bombing fun. I bore it out at first, thinking he was just ranting and would go away after a while; I didn’t seriously think that he still considered that part of the map ‘his spot’, since I had already gathered a good thirty over Jr Yeti skins before he hopped over with all his obnoxious ways. I mainly just practised my PPitA (Personal Pain in the Arse) policy: head one direction to lure KSer away, then immediately head in the opposite direction to take the mobs (s)he has his/her back to.

So basically, he was just a minor, though rather loud-mouthed, irritant.

If you’ve seen the SSes, you’d have noticed that he threatened to bring his lvl 103 z0mgwthh4xPRO! Hermit to *coughs* redress his grievances with me. So he logs onto his Hermit and starts to swear at me again!

Gawd, I was thinking, can’t this person just give it a rest?! In the end, I just lost it. It’s embarrassing, how he managed to get my goat that way and make me retaliate.

Hopefully I unnerved him when I said my parents were dead because I killed them; I was even going to say that I was playing Maplestory right from my prison cell because I was serving out my life sentence, but while I was first delivering some advice on how to get a good English dictionary, he blocked all whispers.

Which is a rather ‘WTH?’ move since he isn’t the one getting harassed, I am.

So I hung around the map to wait for him, killing more Jr Yetis, racking up more EXP and ranting to my friend about this irritating bugger. (‘parody-silas style’ mentioned therein refers to ‘Silas’ in Epic Movie, who is based off that Silas from the Da Vinci Code, and swears in gibberish with accompanying subtitles. Hilarious. XD)

But /then/ he logs off and disappears for a bit. *rolls eyes* Some sort of KSing effort this is turning out to be.

After a bit, he comes back again, still as his spearman. (To quote him: ‘hermit in vic lazy to come’) However, this time, he had a fire mage in tow, who proceeded to randomly spam Explosion all over the map.

Of course I wasn’t dumb enough to continue fighting and wasting more pots. When I could, I snatched some kills with PPitA, but most of the time I hung around, watching the pwnfulness of the fire mage from the safety of the rope. (Seriously. Explosion was so cool. :D)

I even intentionally dragged the fire mage all the way across the ground level into the hunting grounds of an I/Lizard, and predictably, the fire mage took all the kills there even before ascertaining whether I was really hunting there. :X

StupidLittleBugger: [spewing vulgarities by the dozen]
Bugger’s Fire Mage Friend: [Surrounded by a mess of fire and smoke and squeals of dying Jr Yetis]
Poor innocent I/Lizard: why are u ksing me?
Me: I apologise for my stalkers’ bad behaviour.
Me: I’m just too pwnful. I’m sorry.

So imagine. I was trailing powerful and active explosives all behind me! ^^
Imagine if I walked right into the Zombie Maps.
Imagine the tonnes of other KS wars I could have started. *dreamy*

Anyway.

StupidLittleBugger: u noe u cant win u shud just give up
Me: Duh, I can’t win.
StupidLittleBugger: then cc lah you [censored]
Me: Your friend is how many times my level?
Me: Of course she’ll win.
Me: Or have you failed your math as well?
Bugger’s Friend: LOL

To give his friend credit, she tried to settle it amiably, though I’d rather that she jumped straight to that stage rather than blindly KSing first: I certainly wasn’t more persuaded to listen to her by her actions when she kick-started the diplomacy.

Also, I suspect her willingness to come to her friend’s ‘rescue’ had further convinced him that he was right from the start. So when she tried to settle the issue by making us share the map, that idiot wouldn’t accept it.

Oh, and isn’t it so amusing that typing part of his IGN (Sadan) triggers the F4 expression? ^^;

The end of all this? The Hermit never came.

I even went AFK for a good half an hour to do chores, but when I came back, my screen had nothing more filthy or ridiculous than the rather amusing conversation between two pals on the non-existent life of the highest levelled Maple in SEA.

How bleeding anti-climatic is that. Sheesh.

However, what I learnt from this is that, in KS wars, no one ever thinks clearly. I certainly wasn’t doing that. At that point in time, before the fire mage arrived, I didn’t want to give up killing the spawn, because it would seem as if I was yielding to the bugger’s threats.

But it was so hard to type and keep track of my character’s HP at the same time, what more with the Icy Cold Path being a HP-stealing map. There was so much adrenaline in me and my head was practically buzzing; I regretfully ended up being too distracted to give him a good scorch. I am so MAD that I missed so many good chances to fire off a well-placed flame or two. D:

There was also the tempting urge to poke my friends into helping me KS back (I even seriously contemplated SMSing someone that wasn’t online), but that was just an immature reflex action, now that I think back. I would be no better than that dumbarse. ><

Oh well. Maybe I should have just CCed in the first place. But there wouldn’t have been so much fun (:P) and, honestly: It would be just another boring training session, wouldn’t it.
Heh.

Cookies for you, reader~! *scatters all around*
