[jeff335]

Sometimes even I blame myself for the fall of the samurai. In case you didn't know:


After intentionally commiting treasons resulting in the also-intentional disbanding of Tyealia, I joined the Samurai on account JeffTL, as "Daisen Jifu (Samurai)" and roleplayed a case of amnesia related to the dispersion of the Tyealia cloud.

I rped

Due to a trick pulled on me by T3CK, I lost my account; he had let Cymerian upgrade it with a stolen card and claimed for all those months he used his own bloody card.

I went on my Bomy account, jeff335, ironically upgraded by Cymerian for the price of a pharaoh hat.

I was out of the Phalanx guild on classic because this account doesn't accept guildtags. Phalanx faded away.

I asked for my Samurai tag, yet never got it because everyone was busy.

I thought..."Whadda hell should a bomy be doing among master swordsmen anyway?" Had I been quite sane at the time, I would have gotten an account reset. However...

I PMed Kamuii. Said that I was a poor bomy, formerly a human but transformed by black magic, fleeing the Samurai lest I be hazed or somewhat. I became a scribal assistant; at last check of the Dustari roster I was the last remaining scribe in the kingdom. But that was to no avail...

Evidently I had not gotten my fill of upgraders. For the price of eighty gralats, Dabura (account KPGeo86) said he'd upgrade both JeffTL and Jeff335 for a year. I gave him the 80G. He stole the jeff335 account and used it to hack, Alkaren banned it from newmain. Thankfully JeffTL was already globally disabled for CC trouble or he'd have stolen it too. I changed the pwd on my account, but it is still banned.


The conclusion:
If I had not joined Dustari (something I very seldom regret by the way, I'd rejoin dustari in an instant) or fallen for Dabura, or moreover upgraded my own damn JeffTL account, I'd quite possibly still be an active samurai. Though I probably would have gone away with Dante.
