There ain't no party like a gil seller party, Cuz a gil seller party don't stop.

The other day I did a /shout in Jeuno asking for help getting a key in Castle Zvahl Baileys for a piece of my BLM af. A few seconds later, I get a blind invite. I cautiously accept and join the party:

Ronaldos - pld75/war35
Thecry - blm75/whm35
Hhllyk - whm75/blm35
Killyn - blm75/whm35
Rockcoat - blm75/whm35

All notorious gil sellers.

It took me a few seconds to realize who they were, because some of the names were kinda familiar. When it hit me I started to giggle, because these guys were 'supposed' to be efficient killers, so getting my key would be easy. Incorrect.

We warp to Xarcabad and start heading to the castle. Ronaldos is leading with the other mages all on /follow. They stayed on /follow the entire time we partied together, with the exception of any fighting we did.

We get to the castle and Ronaldo informs me that "I no map." I told him I didn't have a map either and we decided to just try our luck.

They had absolutely no idea what we came there to do, despite the fact that there were 3 lvl 75 blms in the party, who had all done this at one point. After about 25min of searching, we finally found the Commander I needed to kill to get my key.

Battle Mode Engaged!

Immediatly Ronaldos charges one of the demons, and the blms all form a line behind him. The whm just rests, as she was not really needed. All of the blms start casting spells at the same time. When their spells hit, they would wait a few seconds and all cast again. It was weird watchign them all cast at the same time, I felt like I was watching a ballet. Within seconds everything around us is very dead, and my key drops.

Ronaldos: {Congratulations!}
Pasquale: {Thank you.} {Castle Zvahl Keep} please
Ronaldos: {Garliage Citadel}???
::pause::
Pasquale: ...What?
::super long pause::
Pasquale: {Castle Zvahl Keep} please?

Three min go by and no one does anything. Suddenly, after what felt like an eternity, all the mages abruptly stand up at the same time, and immediatly /follow Ronaldos. They take off running.

We ran around aimlessly for about 30 min. We just kept running in circles, as Ronaldos was an idiot and had no idea where we were. Finally, I got a /tell saying "I. sleep go," and everyone warped out, thus totally screwing our hero.

I was determined to find the Keep myself, but the mobs surrounding me had other plans, and I was promptly attacked. {Warp} + {Blink} = {yes, please}

So now I sit here, AF-less and alone. Was it wrong to pt with the gil sellers? Maybe, but if using someone to get something done and then not giving them a reward because they will just turn around and sell it to someone is wrong, then I don't wanna be right.

The curse of the broken macro...

Yesterday I was soloing with my summoner for a little while. Things were going pretty well, so I busted out my NPC, Ripokeke. Ripo, my avatar, and I were killing shit pretty well that I stopped paying attention to my avatar's health. I pull a tough Goblin, and it one-shots the rest of my avatar's health, leaving me and Ripokeke alone, and totally boned. She provokes and I do the honorable thing... No, I'm just fucking with you, I ran away like a bitch, leaving her to die.

Within seconds she was murdered and the Goblin was thirsty for my blood. I got caught on a damn cactus and the goblin caught up to me pretty quick. I pulled out my staff and started to fight back:

Pasquale hits the Goblin Tinkerer for 13 points of damage.
The Goblin Tinkerer hits Pasquale for 60 points of damage.

Ok, fuck this. I spam a Fire Spirit macro I had made for just an emergency, but it doesn't work, because there are not three 'i's in 'Spirit.' I finally get one out and send him in with 10 hp remaining. I immediatly start to use a warp scroll. About 15% in to using it, I run out of MP and my Fire Spirit goes away, after doing zero damage to the King of the Goblins that I was fighting. He runs up to me and swings... Miss! Yes! Finally some luck. 35% done... c'mon...

The Lord of all Goblins uses Goblin Rush.
(crap crap crap)
Pasquale warps!

I end up on the front step of the mog house, dead. A few white mages around there gave me some shit before eventually raising me. Note to self: I hate Goblins.

Pasquale's umm... Awesome Adventures of Awesomeness-ness

Hello hello,
I decided to make a blog telling of the adventures and horrible disasters that make up my FFXI experience. This first post is just here so I figure out what I'm doing, so somethign more interesting will be posted later. Hopefully. Well, I don't see how it could be more boring than this, so I guess that's a good start.
