Day 6 - Team work.

Another day another dollar... well PED anyway. Afer yesterday's rather dissapointing start I had given this some thought..... I need to create a team... get some big beefy guys with guns.... go find that walrus thing..... and PAYBACK... oooooo yeh!!!!

So there I was, at twin peaks... asking around if anyone wanted to join Speedy's Sausage Skins. (Yes I really did call my team that!!!) I ended up with one person. Disappointing that no one else wanted to join up with the infamous "Speedy Pants" but hell I can't win them all. So me and my teammate set off in search of MOB's.... about 30 seconds later my youngest decided that it was time to wake the neigbourhood. So with a quick exit... not even a good bye to my team mate (sorry if you ever read this!!), I logged out.

Kids.... who'd have em? after several car journey's, lots of rocking, pacing the floor, changing nappies the little bugger fell to sleep.

Out came the laptop again. This time for good!!! (I hoped!) I was near to twin peaks.. so I thought I'd get a team together again. I then noticed my PM thingy flashing. So I read the succession of PM's from my worthy mentor EPIC saying was I about, did I want to join his team, If I did they were to the north, oh well maybe next time.

CRAP... I'd missed him, no worries I thought... I could see several people to the north on my radar.... One of them has to be him... I set off. after a few minutes I ran into a couple of guys having some fun with some big beasty. I thought I'd lend a hand... or rather an axe so I laid in. The beasty was dead (I dare say thanks to my professional weilding!!!) and what do I get???

ABUSE?????

er what... why????? Cos I lent a hand killing a beasty??? whats going on?

As it turned out these too guys were a little miffed that I had rollled up and started laying into their mother... er I mean MOB that was kicking their collective asses and saved their lives (ok maybe they could have managed) All I wanted was a quick "cheers mate" and I'd have been on my way but noooooooo, I got abuse.... various not very pleasentries so I gave as good as I got.

During this torrent of expletives EPIC appeared.... He'd obviously seen the exchange of praise and thought he'd see if I was allright!! Cheers fella!!!

After I said my friendly goodbyes to the (*sounds like bossers but begins in a "T"*) he asked if I wanted to join his Team..... Just the ticket!!!

With him was a guy called JDaddy (*respect*) Nice fella, friendly enough. After a few "hi, how ya doin's?" we set off. Found beasty and kicked ass!!!! ooooo yeh!!!! and some loot!!! well PED's split 3 ways, nice..... more than I'd got before so I was happy.

This continued for some time, killin stuff, more PEDS, more killin, more PEDS. After a while I noticed that I was only receiving PEDs... why??? must be the team settings!!! honest to god... just at that very second that the thought popped into my head that this wasn't exactly fair... EPIC piped up about he'd split the loot at the end of the hunt.... I didn't even ask.... damn this guy can mind read too!!!

JDaddy occasionally healed me when I got a little low (Much appreciated fella!) and the hunt continued. Then it happened.... my axe was dead! damn you stupid axe. I mentioned this to the team and EPIC (god bless him) swapped my useless one for one that was 100% perfect.... (Swapped I tell you!!!)

The hunt continued!!! (for quite a while and quite a few PEDS!!) Then the new axe was dead (God I must be good to break 2 axes so quickly!!!) this time I couldn't expect to be given a new one. but EPIC came to the rescue again... This time I gave a few of My PEDs and the old axe in return for a brand new sparkling one!!!! and...... off we went again!!!!

We were starting to get some serious loot, I'd got up to about 10 or 11 PEDS in my inventory and I'm sure EPIC was loaded up with goodies... (Occassionally I saw some mention of a weird artifact being looted and joined in the congrats not even knowing what I was congratulating on, but hell it was fun!!)

Then during a rather fierce battle with several Bad guys..... I died... sob sob. This was in no way overlooked by JDaddy who had been frantically trying to heal me in the last few seconds but to no avail..... I was dead!)

I didn't want to hold up my Team, so (in true US Marine stylee) I said they should go on without me and I'd catch up, I knew their rough position so how hard could it be? Nope.... I think they'd had enough too... so after I revived, They joined me. At which point EPIC (oh mighty fair one!) shared out the loot! For my part I got 1 PED, some wool, and some Black rock stuff. All of which was worth a few PED's so I was happy.

We said our fairwells and EPIC and JDaddy retired for the day... Farewell.... until we meet again!

So as Day 6 was drawing to a close... I had quite a few PED's and some stuff to trade. It was time to call it a night!!! I went to sleep knowing I had accomplished something (various levels of different skills had come and gone!) and made a new aquaintance in the world known as Project Entropia.
