So, I go out again – this time with good old Captbigbelly. 12 people, 2 bombers — certainly this one should go well, right?
How can 2 bombers fail to keep a kraken head down? It didn’t help that the map was cruddy, but I mean really. I guess the final straw was when some blundering boat knocked me into a wall trying to get into the cuttle box – then griped in chat when I bumped her back. I pointed out that she did the same thing to me, then bailed when we got booted. Very annoying. So I notice that Meijinn is getting ready to go in, so I go along to help out. We start out with some average bombing support and …
… It’s lot’s of fun. Despite the kraken head not being regularly knocked down, I still manage to get an egg and a nice group of boxes. Same for the next run. By time the third entry came up, it was me, Mei, Pinkpearls, Peg (all 3 of whom are facebook friends of mine), Yarmatey, Revkoolaid (who asked to heartie me), and someone else I wasn’t familiar with. Basically, a kraken hunt with my friends. And I enjoyed it, even on the last entry where I got tentacled every time I tried to get anything. It was fun.
And isn’t that why we play the game?
