Solo challenge ACCOMPLISHED

[theblaz]

Since this is my server and since I started an earlier thread about this, I'm putting it here.

Tonight, I took another stab at my "Drunken Sleeping Dust Solo Challenge."

And tonight, after 119 minutes and re-entering 6 times, I DID IT!!!

Oh, how happy I was.

All night people kept asking to join for the flagging, and I kept turning them away. And finally, right when I had the bastard down to maybe 6% health, someone asked to join for flagging.

I said no.

He said he'd just watch.

I hemmed.

Hawed.

Felt like an ass for denying people flagging rights.

So I invited him.

And changed my LFM message to "WHO NEEDS FLAGGING you got two minutes."

Someone who asked me earlier /telled me from an alt, so she got in.

Then another.

And then, I went in and NUKED that punk.

Done deal.

SCREENSHOT OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN LOL.



And my victory dance.



Yes, there are people in the quest.

No, they didn't help.

Yes, they said they'd back me up on the forums, and I believe them.

It'd be cool if people believed me, but even if they don't, I'm cool with it.

Because I know I did it.

28 point build with lots of diplomacy and bluff (because I made him like a pnp wizard) soloed sleeping dust.

The icing is I helped 3 people get flagged.

I'm happy with myself.

Time for more Patron XO Cafe (scrumptious).

Cheers!

EDIT: I did die 6 times, hence the re-enters. I'm sure it's not "uber" but normal standards, but I'm irrationally proud of what I did, so there.

Great to see you get it.
And even better to see you be so generous as to allow folks to flag due to your persistence and tenacity and to share in your moment.

Excellently done all around.

[Mistinarperadnacles]

As one of those graciously invited for a cheap flag, consider it backed up and grats

and... good god man, you got enough robes?

Im trying to see whats so amazing here... You soloed it..your not the first. Was nice of you to give the free flag tho.

[theblaz]

I'm proud of it. Not uber, don't really raid, don't have great gear. This was my first character ever made so he's got some creation faults.

I guess I don't see the purpose of coming into a thread to take a dump on it, but hey.

Go wild, I don't let folks like you bring me down

[Jay203]

what's more amazing is people not realizing what they're commenting on while hitting 'submit post'. Think before you put your foot in your mouth.


btw, grats on the accomplishment! was pullin for ya when i saw the lfm up the other night.

[Galvis]

So I figured I would Necro and Derail a thread in one shot:

I had to congratulate theblaz, not for his solo run but for his absolute and utter ownage [nom].

to the OP... now I'll congratz you on the nice work on the Dust Solo.

[Ardanroth]

It doesnt matter if people have done it before or if people have done it with less deaths or quicker.

What matters is the sense of well being that we get when we complete a task that has eluded us even though we have attempted it many times before.

congrats to the OP on what, to him, was an immense achievement, he didnt quit and has now reaped the rewards

[Ardanroth]

i think your missing the point.

He obviously had tried this many times before and failed, so this to him was quite some achievement.

Just because "we" can do something easily it doesnt mean we should take that pride and sense of well being away from someone who cant do it so easily

[Poe76]

I see so many posts on here of peeps attacking each other, reaming each other cuz they're
noobs, or not 'leet enough. Good job man, keep at it, have more fun. This freakin game is
about just that. What are you thinkin....why not be miserable and spend every night trying
to measure up to the lords of uberness....(Slap myself). Dude Im at work but when I get home
I'll slam a frosty mickeys and be glad i aint 'leet enough to be mad cuz you had a good time.

Cheers Buddy!

If i didnt have my pnp game to go dm..i would think of something witty to put here...

BTW, 3.5 Pnp on khyber, we do have some openings. There will be an lfm up.

Its not really an accomplishment when victory is assured. If you recall from a quest a handful of times, as a caster there is really no way your going to fail.

^^ Sorry to intrude on your thread mighty Thelanians, but seriously bro...if you dont think its great then just keep it to yourself and let this dude have his moment.

For the record, I think I saw you get called out for a screen shot that still has not been provided...so far all you've shown anyone is how cool forum trolling is.

Bottom line:

1) If you are so leetz and uber prove it
2) Leet or not cram it and let this dude have some fun!

Ghallanda out!

Something in my computers setup prevents me from taking SS. If you want a cheap camera Pic of an easy completion i could provide it.

Also, i don't think i refered to myself as either leetz or uber. Mostly because i think people who call themselves such tend to..um..how can i put it nicely? have an undeserved ego.
