I am still in robes.

I hope you don't think I'm dumb.

No, not me, I'm just screwed. I am permanently at 98% burden with comps and a Faran Robe. I came back from Muck Warrens today at 178% burden and could barely waddle from the LS to the advocates tower. My strength unbuffed is 52 and I have no spare XP to put into it right now. I don't have a choice. If somebody breaks out the hollow weapons, I just auto-lose.

-------------------

Today I got more vitae than I have ever had ever before at 22% from the Muck Warrens alone. Thankfully I was still able to portal recall after *much* fizzling and retrieve my stuff. I'm still working off the vitae. I spent all the money I had (about 12K) on tapers in HT today and have burned my way
through all 40 red tapers since then. If anybody has any red tapers to spare, I would appreciate it - as per usual I can't carry loot and don't make enough from my kills to cover the cost of my comps - sigh. [Zak: you have some money for me on your runner, I could really use it please] Died three times on the way back from HT with my shopper to wasps as well - basically have had a horrible day today.

-------------------

Saw Herrimone in the advocates tower briefly today and she's all decked out in Matty Coat and Olthoi Sword and has reached level 15. For some reason this made me really sad, that's pretty much exactly the equipment I had on HG at level 15 and Herri is doing really well. Hope the Citadel was kind to you Herri! Meanwhile my mage has nothing worth having except a couple of wands. Is it always like this?

Real life has also become increasingly hectic for me lately. I didn't make it onto AC at all Saturday or Sunday and this week will be patchy at best. Next weekend I'm away and the week after that I'm moving house. On the Friday of Fight Night I have four friends coming to stay to help me move furniture (since I broke my arm I've not been able to lift heavy stuff) and I'm going to be redecorating etc in the evenings. In six weeks I'm going to San Francisco for a fortnight's holiday.

Basically I don't know if I will be able to attend Fight Night, and if I do I doubt I will be able to compete in my scheduled fights because I will have been outlevelled by all my opponents. On top of that I do not expect to be able to keep pace with the other newbies despite neglecting my HG character.

Forgive me for whining to the list... thanks for listening
