I figured I'd run into the same problem with DM that I did with Sac. Everyone already flagged for Plane of Tactics so noone willing to help out with others getting the flag. I didn't even ask for assistance. I noticed when we did BoT flagging Saturday that Sony had fixed the issue with the Rock Storms being under ground. So I took Kakri and Podarge to PoS, camped at the extreme SW corner of the desert and started pulling every rock storm in sight (along with whatever else happened to move...lol) and eventually a Diaku Raider popped. I had no clue if I could two box a level 60 mob but the Diaku fell like a chump. It wasn't even a close fight... so I started pulling mobs again and another Diaku popped and so on and so forth... one of the Raiders was obviously a shaman cuz he put Pox of Bertox on me but Kakri healed me before I was even 90% health and I took the Raider down like a chump... 4 hours later I had all 4 emblems.
I sent a tell in guild chat asking if anyone that wasn't flagged for tactics wanted to be. None answered and I didn't want to waste 4 flags, so I camped out for a bit and watched half of Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Then logged in and asked again. Surprisingly more than a few misunderstood me and were all fired up to come help me get flagged even though they were themselves already flagged. Once again Dark Mutiny proves to me that it is the home I've been waiting for since I started EQ.
We did raid the SW Tower in BoT this evening. 4 groups wiped the place without a single death. The guild operates like a well oiled machine. There is no unnecessary chatter in raid chat. Noone goofs off. Everyone knows thier job and simply does it. Not to say we don't have fun because we do, but we do it in the proper way and as a result we get things done.
I guess I'll always miss playing with Theryn and Aaeandor. They were a huge part of my EQ experience practically from the beginning. I wish things had been different and that they could be standing where I am today in a guild that is actively raiding. I know that EP's are just around the corner for me and GoD is not very far at all into the future... ya know, I don't think I typed /who all sacrilege even once today... lmao
On a real life (and much more important) note... Sarah, could you please email me your phone number so I can call the kids? Thanks much.

CoD Flag, BoT Flag, 4AA's... wow what a day. More accomplished in one day than the entire time spent in other guilds combined... I love Dark Mutiny :)

Had a nice long chat with the kids yesterday. They seem to be doing well. I miss them so very much...
On a sadder note. I have pulled all my characters out of the guild Sacrilege. They seem to have gotten too high and mighty to even want to talk to my characters. My tells in guild chat were ignored. I had to practically beg to be included in groups and as a result fell behind in flaggin for zones like tactics where everyone spent all thier time. The last straw was last night when I had Sanelven sitting in the Nexus with LFG on at 6:45pm for a 7:00pm raid and watched as the guild formed up and ported out leaving me standing there... they obviously don't care and now I'm beyond giving a flying rats ass...
I joined up with a nice family guild called Swords of a Vengeance. They seem very nice. Capable of raiding but not focused entirely on it. Perhaps the game will become fun again... if not, I'll find something else to occupy my time...

Got to talk to my kids today. They seem to be doing good. I really miss them and can't wait til it's time for them to stay with me for awhile again...
Found out the next Underground Miner's Certification class starts on June 26th. Way later than I wanted. I may try to land a job at McDonalds or something just to tide me over til then...
Raided Plane of Hate today. It seemed to me that we were raiding just for the sake of raiding. I can't stand those type of raids. Call it guild bonding or what have you but to me it's a waste of time. I could be xp'ing one of my toons or doing something productive instead... guess I'm just not a "team player"...
Well, I gotta get up in a few hours to go fly with Dad so I'm gonna crash out...

Just went out to fill out a couple of job apps. Went to Knox Creek. They were open today but the app is kinda in depth so I brought it home til I get the phone numbers for references. If you you'd like to tell Knox Creek what a fine, upstanding, dependable, intelligent and hard worker I am, email me your name and phone number... lol
It's kindly warm out there and my car has no AC in it. 265 AC ya know... hehe
Mom said she got to talk to the kids Sunday. Wish I had... I miss them SO much... I want hugs from my babies dammit! She said they sound happy though so all is well I suppose. Of all the things I want in the world the happiness of Chris and Nicole is the most important of all...
Been playin my necro alot because Meekrakkin needs work. His hitpoints are way lower than I'd like. It was kinda the proverbial kick in the face when I asked a level 38 warrior his HP and AC and his HP were higher than Meek's... he's retired til I can afford some upgrades...
