Publicity Stunts

DeAnn decided to post a link to my blog on our linkshell’s forum. I’ll have to watch what I say now. My forum profile had been linked here for some time, but now people might actually read it! :P

Anyway, it was just another crazy Monday in the real world. A position opened up with the Network Operations Center where I work. I talked with the supervisor there expressing my interest. I hope that goes through: it’s a nice place to work for as a contractor, but a really good place to work for if you’re a full time employee.

Our linkshell does a sky hunt every Monday night. On the way up to sky Brickhouse, our linkshell leader, announced that Zhefer, our sky leader, was promoted to sackholder. Congrats, Zhef! And sorry for making you late… >.> On the docket were drops from Zipacna and Ullikummi. Once assembled, we rolled out to Zip. He was walking around and waiting for us to be ready. Another shell arrived soon after, so we quickly pulled him without being completely ready. Things got a bit hairy, but we took him down and got our drop: all within the first 15 minutes of starting.

Not quite so easy for Ulli. We chased off the other LS waiting for Faust and camped there for a while, with no luck. After about half an hour, we took the last teleporter to Ulli’s room and killed Aura Statues for a diorite – the pop item for Ullikummi. We had a large group up there, and before long we were competing with each other for statue spawns. I sat back and watched for a bit – it was kinda like an LS Capture the Flag, but with big, ugly demon-rocks for flags. At one point, Azmodius got a parry skillup from taking hate off one of the tanks, and he was rather pleased with himself. The statue was not nearly as impressed, and proceeded to squish him into an epic pancake.

I lost track of how long we were trying for a diorite, but one never dropped. No matter though, we’ll get one next time. That was the most fun I’ve had at a sky hunt in a really long time, and it gave me a chance to get to know some of the new applicants better. I had to go to bed, but I hear tell they went back to Faust and got the kill.
