Super Bowl Sunday

The Cope House woke extra early on Sunday to make our church’s early service. I like our early service: it’s cozy. Instead of sitting in an auditorium, it’s a bunch of round tables and a few rows of seats. They have coffee and donuts available, and you can easily converse with other people at the table. The worship has a quiet energy about it that is both relaxing and refreshing. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve grown to like the louder rock style of the other services, but it’s nice to get in a ‘classic’ service every now and then.

Getting up early also means more day is available to get things done and relax. We did our neglected Walmart run right after church, so we were in and out of there before the crazies were out of their services and crowding the place. Once we got home, we noticed both Talonshard and Amelisa were online, so we decided to try to get a party together. Got a random PLD and a SMN who sent me a tell asking if we had room. We first tried the Boyahda Tree’s spiders, but after several deaths and close calls, we decided those to be too hard. We settled for Quicksand Caves’ easier beetles and anticans. Our SMN “lost his connection” never to return. I think he just needed some way to get out of the party and watch the big game.

After we replaced him with a DNC, our experience really started rolling in. We gained two whole levels in that party, and I learned both Stone III and Tornado. I can also wear the first piece of my AF. Goodbye Seer’s Gear! The whole time, the LS was making commentary on the game and commercials, it was a lot of fun to hang out and have a beer with friends for the Super Bowl for a change, even if those friends were hundreds of miles away.

Ended the night with an impromptu run out to Beadeux for some scroll farming. Somehow, I ended up MPKing the whole party due to some really weird fluke of an aggro. I’ve never been aggroed at that range before… Returned with my WHM and raised everyone, then proceeded to slaughter every turtle in that place. The only scrolls we got were a couple of Bind and Blind scrolls, nothing even remotely close to what we needed. Another time.
