Nothing to see here... Move along... Move along...

Well, I honestly haven't been gaming much lately.

First the bad news:
Went thru a bit of depression which was contracted from a couple friends and LS mates. Of course, I'm referring to the mass-thefts that took place around July 11th. First our LS leader got hacked and a couple people in the LS started saying "bullshit! he just took the money and ran!!!" And then when a couple other people in our LS got hacked (sack-holders)... well, those same people were still saying it was some big damn conspiracy. But then a day or two later me and Treu heard that not only his account, but 3 or 4 of our friends' accounts got hacked too. It was just ... devastating. Funny enough, the same conspiracy theorists were STILL insisting it was all planned, despite POL's warnings that went out the previous few days about "being careful to protect your password" and "we are now blocking large IP blocks from logging-in because of shit going down". I think I managed to convince a couple people that it really wasn't some prank, but who knows. Some people are just so untrusting that it could be a RL friend that got hacked and they'd still insist they just sold their account or something. Anyways (I wanna get this part overwith. I hate talkin about depressing stuff.) Simply put: there was talk about not wanting to come back until whatever security breach allowed this all to happen has been fixed... but whateva. Treu got his and Screamin's chars locked-out and into the recovery process. Disdain did the same for his. Ditto for Ced and Van and ... well, whoever else it was. Sounds like everyone is coming back; it's just gonna take some time for everyone to get back here.

Also, due to the circumstances, it seems (as of reading our LS forum this morning) that AstrumNovae has officially broken. With so much being stolen from our LS bank, plus pop items, plus missing leaders and noone wanting to take up the mantle of leader while Ced's going through his recovery process... I guess pretty much everyone just gave up and moved on. ; ; It sucks, but whateva. Yeah, I didn't get any Af gear or anything, but at least I got to meet more people and got in a bunch of Dynamis and Sky experience. ^^ (This is me just tryin to look on the bright side of things.)

ok... on to the good stuff:
Let's see... what have I accomplished...
- More Campaign Battles and got up to Golden Star $$$$ and even Copper Emblem of Serice $. Woo Hoo! So I spent some of my Allied Notes and bought some Cobra Unit Mittens (which will probably only be used during Campaign Battles, but I guess we'll see.)
- got Dvucca Isle Staging Point and Ilrusi Atoll Staging Point, thus finally obtaining all 6 staging points. Woo Hoo times TWO!!
- got some help from Kota, Fadee, Ruiness and a coupel other people to go on my Asuran Fists fight and got that. w00t!!!
- decided to start leveling SAM a lil more with Hybrid's MNK (got up to 16)
- decided on DNC too cuz apparently it's an awesome SJ for a bunch of other jobs while soloing or in small parties. (up to DNC 6 right now)

and uh... that's about it. I actually haven't even been online much in the past 10 days because of random road-trips and my workouts. Hopefully I'll have more updates coming soon.
