Thanks for another wonderful Monday evening everybody! I hope you had a lot of fun last night because I know I did! Let’s dive right into the matter shall we? The following table is a formatted view of the Database as seen in Microsoft Access 2007. If I was still using notebook paper, I would have been messed up to no end after Bella’s roll. Her roll took her from last place to first. Thank the goddess for Databases!

Before I begin the Rune Section, may I add a Welcome to Granas! A very good friend from my old LS will be joining us for at least 3 months. That being said, because of his 1.5 year absence this was his very first Moblin Maze Monday ever! Welcome to the crew Granas~!

Now let’s dash on in to the Rune Section of today’s update! Starting from first to last our Rune drops for this Monday were: Maze Rune 038 (Katamatoo), Maze Rune 092 (Danta), Maze Rune 017 (Granas), and Maze Rune 043 (Kaixy). Congratulations to you guys~!
Unfortunately My run, as well as Hileict’s and Sigmund’s didn’t get finished. Which now brings us to-

The Mazes we did on this wonderful Monday!
Last night we had 3 vouchers to sink our teeth into: Voucher 01, Voucher 02, and Voucher 06!

1. Voucher 01
Of course we know this is the default Voucher. You run through the maze and kill all monsters on all floors. Simple, eh? Eh, not really. ^^ No problems occured in these mazes as far as I’m aware of at the moment.
2. Voucher 02
We had some very interesting things go on inside these mazes. Hileict’s Maze somehow died and pretty much within about a minute we were all dead. Pretty fast Party Wipe if I do say so myself! Next was my Maze which was also Voucher 02. I had a psychotic combination, at least in my opinion. Using the Elemental Tabula #03. This Tabula has the elements of Dark, Earth, Ice, and Water. For my Maze I used Lost and Found, Trial by Velocity, Sustenance Contract, and for tonight’s Major challenge was Buffed Aquans (Maze Rune 001). The buff being the Aquan Rune was placed over the Water Elemental block. The Ice element was also used to heighten the pain. Needless to say, the second wave of Krakens killed us too. The other Voucher 02s were Danta, and Katsukora and I believe Katamatoo. Those runs did pretty well.
3. Voucher 06
The only one to use this Voucher was Sigmund. Basically we played a little Metal Gear Hyozan. A few deaths to be sure, but this maze was hard! True we might have died and never completed the maze, it was the highlight of the night! At least for me!

Well that’s it for the update on Moblin Maze Monday #8~! Join us next Monday for another exciting episode of Moblin Maze Mondays~!

See you then~!

Moblin Maze Mondays #7

(Apologies first up for the late re-posting of MMM’s #7, had a few tweaks to fix up here and there.. ~Hileict)

Well, it seems like the Moblins have been busy supplying us with new toys to play with for MMM’s, folks! Here’s what the night presented to us!

MMM Chart

As Segan has explained, I do not know how Danta’s run went or what it even entailed. Woo~!

Okay, so I guess I’ll start with the first run, which was mine. Before we’d even started entering the maze is around when the party chat confusion debacle Segan mentioned above started happening. Here’s the general jist. I’d been hoping throughout the week that for this recap, I’d be able to talk more about some new Vouchers available to us, such as 02 (Segan and Katsukora’s runs) and 06 (the NM maze I planned to set up), simply because I’d received the Altered Aggression rune and Belladiel had received both Altered Aggression and Altered Defense. Sadly, there was a slight argument over which voucher was going to be the one I use and it ended up being just the average 01 maze. This was also the case with Cressidia’s. As a side note, we should hopefully have screenshots available from the majority of the runs, if possible.

So, this takes us to Segan and Katsukora’s runs. Both of which were the Waves voucher, where instead of you going to the Maze Lurkers, they come to you. Instead of the generic Everbloom Hollow, this takes place in Ruhotz Silvermines. The tactic we ended up sticking to was to gather in the center of the room as the Lurkers approach from multiple hallways in the corner of the zone, almost 3 to 4 at a time. This also lead to a lot of laughs between myself, Segan and Cressidia in our Skype conference as we were to soon learn that Segan was using Tabula 03, which has elements on the squares that activate if runes are placed over them. The elements involved were Ice and Water, but the only trace of Ice and Water I saw were Ice Elementals. Unless Cockatrice and/or Bats have anything similar to those elements.

As it turned out, I was rather exhausted from being awake all night and I don’t recall whether it was Katsukora’s or Katamatoo’s run, but I left after theirs.

In conclusion, at least from my perspective, I really hope next Monday (Tuesday morning) will be an improvement. We definitely want to work with all of you, not against. But when the light-hearted nature of the event starts to get abused and micro-managed in a sense, then things need to be revised.

That’s all from me! See you all next week, I hope! To commemorate the release of the unofficially named “Metal Gear Moblin Maze”, I leave you with this. It is awesome.

Greetings and Salutations to you all!
Another successful night for MMMs that ended in 4 Runes from 3 people last night, as well as some level ups! So congratulations to Katsukora for hitting level 48 Summoner and to Belladiel for hitting Level 73 Red Mage! And on, what I guess you could call a low note, we didn’t have as many people as I expected , but that doesn’t mean we didn’t have fun anyways! ^_^
