Destroying Fate

How I've longed for this day....spending months trying to get to this mission....did I mention I play FFXI? I've been playing for 2 years and have gotten to Rank 6 in Bastok then was stupid enough to change to Windurst. Windurst....*shudders* that's a place that should be taken over by beastmen. It's just asking to be invaded. Anyway, I got all the way to Rank 5 then realized why I hated 5-1.....Capped Undead Fight. God I hate Capped fights. We finally beat it and started 5-2.
Got to Castle Zvahl Keep and our WAR/NIN had to leave. *feels blood rushing to head* Ok, he's gotta go to work. That's understandable...I will not let the chance pass me by! I convinced the party to continue towards the Shadowlord. It's really kinda funny....the mobs getting to the Shadowlord posed a bigger threat than the Shadowlord himself. We beat Shadowlord and watched the CS (for the second time for me).
The reason I wanted this idiotic mission finished is so people would stop asking how I'm on Zilart Mission 14 with a Nation Rank of 5. Why is the idea of a person having beated Rank 6 or higher in another nation a foreign concept to everyone? Either way, we beat that pushover and got on with it.
I was reading [GM]Dave's Blog and decided to create one myself. Guess you could say I "converted to Davism".
