A different experience

Hi all! As I am typing this post, I am currently enjoying a game of cards with Kat and Tim. Being on an overseas vacation trip with two of my closest irl friends is indeed an exhilarating experience. Life’s been ok, except for the annoying fact that the ridiculously expensive internet service is not as good as it sounds. Connection is so bad that I find difficulty in completing a farming round after almost two hours of futile attempt, which would have usually taken me a little over half an hour. Ask Spamicken and you’ll have an idea how bad the connection was. Within the hour I was on chatting with him, I have disconnected more than 5 times, in fact, I would estimate about 8 times. Even a simple action such as making willow long bows using the ‘make x’ option could set off a disconnection problem, and the same goes with entering my bank pin. It wasn’t long before I lost all patience to carry on playing Runescape. It seems that the connection was kind to Tim though, he managed to complete many of his stuff without much problem arising from the pathetic connection.

All’s not well with Tim though. While in the hotel room one day, I heard the news that he was muted under rule 1, for Offensive Language. That came as a major shock. Tim has had a ‘clean’ account for over 4 years now, and having a record/ black mark wasn’t such an appealing idea after he has kept it ‘clean’ for so long. I guess its now up to JaGex to decide if they want to leave the black mark as it is or give Tim his ‘clean’ record back, on the account that he has been a rule-obeying player till now, and this being his first offense. Well, all we can do is hope for a positive response from JeGex and pray for the best.

Also, I would like to congratulate the Blessings mod, and a close friend of mine, Demonmage386 on achieving 99 defense a few days ago. I’m terribly sorry that I wasn’t able to be present due to the internet situation and all, but it was nice to see you reach another one of those incredibly tough goals you set for yourself. You would officially be able to hold the position as a tank for the clan! In my opinion, the combination of maxed range and defense could prove to be deadly to the many unfortunate victims we encounter during our pvp trips in the future.

In addition, I would like to wish the best for two other members of the clan that have been working on a skillcape, Spamicken on Fishing and Forminable on Firemaking respectively. I can definitely say that Blessings is getting stronger, with a tougher member base in terms of both skills and combat. Soon, Blessings would be two years old, and I personally see that as a rather impressive achievement. It has been a long journey, with many hiccups on the way, but the vision of Blessings making her mark in the Runescape community is getting clearer and more within grasp. As Blessings enter a new year of establishment, I hope to bring the clan to greater heights and (hopefully) gain some recognition as a clan of not merely fierce fighters but also elite skillers.

With that, I guess it’s time for me to end this rather dry post. It’s getting late (wait, it is late, already 3am) and I want to rest my eyes and relax a little, maybe another game of cards or two before I get some well deserved rest. So, ta-ta!

Achievement today: None.
