High Blood Pressure

[Saighan]

Not the medical term per se. It's when you are under a kind of stress that makes you feel like your head is gradually being filled with scalding hot water, either due to the nature of what you are doing, or the futility of it.

My guild tried to do the Guild Party Quest. Key word: tried.

The waiting time was a ridiculous 4 hours. We had three players, who were loud, annoying, talkative and downright uncooperative in the abscence of Julliant, our Guild Leader. So the resposnibility fell on me to get the whole screaming lot of them organised into parties.

First blunder:

16 people all clamoring to be in the PQ

First headache:

The two low level sins in different parties both wanted the sole DK and Priest who were already in the main attacker party. This resulted in utter confusion invloving the afore mentioned DK and Priest hopping from one party to another.

Second headache:
THREE Guild hoppers, who were in the guild more for the value of their prior experience than anything else, each have different opinions as to the requirements of the quest. One argued that all the parties needed a lvl 30 noob, the other saying otherwise, and an extra saying he wants his noob sis in the party.

Second blunder:
Trying to entertain all of them.

And we weren't even in the Quest yet. Fast forward to when our turn finally came up. The Statue puzzle.

Third blunder:
Failed to recognise that you only really need so much people doing that task.

Third headache:
3 parties worth of people talking in tandem with each other.

It was nearly midnight, my mother was yelling at me to get off the darn game and get on with the chores that needed doing (we were expecting guest). We finally finished the darn statue puzzle, after an HOUR, and I get kicked off the comp. Then I got grounded and had MapleStory uninstalled.

Shame on me for not getting my priorities straight.
But then life sucks, doesn't it? It sucks and it goes on.

Yes, life goes on.

*calms down*

*pats you*

There there. And yes, life sucks and goes on.

Have a cookie. Have three. I've been baking again.

I need to make some Migoreng!

Poor Saighan...

MS was uninstalled? Jeeze, thats a little harsh. Does that means its gone for good? Or are you going to install it again?

Im not even going to try to do GPQ with our guild, we only have a level 82, and a level 67, other then that, its all people under 50.

You could still go in and explore. The monster's aren't that bad. Just make sure to have a sin w/haste, a magician w/teleport and a lvl 30 or below.

My parents don't need to uninstall anything. They just go under my desk and take ALL the wires out of my computer.

Maple Story is quite the time consuming game, especially with the Guild and Party quests that take quite a while of straight playing. Sometimes I think it just doesn't fit my life anymore.

As you said, life goes on.

[Slerotin]

Leadership comes with the biggest headaches. (And not just Maple. It's life in general)
You'll get no credit when you rock and you'll get all the blame when things go wrong. Next time don't be in charge unless you're prepared to go through all that again just in case everything falls apart again. Sometimes the best leaders are those who know when not to take charge.
