Be Vewwy, Vewwy Quiet...
The day is upon us, my friends. A day that shall live in infamy.Today, we have thrown down the gauntlet. Today, we have drawn a line in the sand.
Today, we have declared war.
Today...
Well, today we began a long series of investigations.
But you can bet that some time in the future that we will probably send them an e-mail that will arrive at a time that is inconvenient.
HA!
I'm kidding.
This morning my supervisor came to me with a special assignment.
Supervisor>> Dave, I need you to go undercover.
[GM]Dave>> Uhhh...
[GM]Dave>> I'm flattered, really.
[GM]Dave>> But I don't swing that way.
Supervisor>> ...
Supervisor>> Did you ever get that psychological assessment?
[GM]Dave>> Yeah.
[GM]Dave>> I just kept calling him Clarisse.
[GM]Dave>> He just smiled and let me go.
Supervisor>> You scare me sometimes.
[GM]Dave>> I get that a lot.
Supervisor>> ... Anyway...
Supervisor>> I need you to go undercover.
[GM]Dave>> I'm flattered, really...
Supervisor>> Oh, knock it off.
Supervisor>> We want you to go undercover as a gil buyer.
Supervisor>> That way we can track the transaction.
[GM]Dave>> You want me to pose as a gil buyer?
[GM]Dave>> That'll take a great deal of preparation.
Supervisor>> What do you mean?
[GM]Dave>> In order to act like a gil buyer, I'll need a few things.
Supervisor>> Such as?
[GM]Dave>> Several sharp blows to the head.
[GM]Dave>> A lobotomy.
[GM]Dave>> The first two seasons of The OC.
Supervisor>> How about no?
[GM]Dave>> Sigh.
[GM]Dave>> Fine.
Supervisor>> Just act normal and it'll be fine.
[GM]Dave>> Gotcha, boss.
[GM]Dave>> Normal.
[GM]Dave>> That'll be easy.
Supervisor>> Normal for regular people normal.
[GM]Dave>> ...
[GM]Dave>> Crap.
So, we called up one of the major gil selling companies.
I was getting the goat's blood and drawing a pentagram on the floor when my supervisor stopped me.
Apparently, evil has websites now.
Convenient.
Operator>> Hi, this is Mary.
Operator>> I feed on stillborn babies.
Okay... I'm paraphrasing.
Operator>> Hi, this is Mary.
Operator>> Would you like to place an order?
[GM]Dave>> Are you a cop?
Operator>> ...
Operator>> Excuse me?
[GM]Dave>> I know how these things work.
[GM]Dave>> This is a sting.
Operator>> No, sir.
Operator>> I'm just here to take orders for gil.
[GM]Dave>> Fine.
[GM]Dave>> Give me a dozen.
Operator>> So, twelve million then, sir?
[GM]Dave>> DEAR GOD, NO!
[GM]Dave>> Twelve gil.
[GM]Dave>> I need to pick up a distilled water.
Operator>> I'm sorry, sir.
Operator>> We cannot process orders that small.
Operator>> We only sell gil in the millions.
[GM]Dave>> Why would I want that much distilled water?
[GM]Dave>> That makes no freakin' sense.
Operator>> No, sir.
Operator>> You could buy other things.
[GM]Dave>> Like what?
[GM]Dave>> Rock salt?
[GM]Dave>> That's still an awful lot of rock salt.
[GM]Dave>> What could I do with that much rock salt and distilled water?
Operator>> No, sir.
Operator>> You could use it to buy weapons and armor.
[GM]Dave>> Oh, no thanks.
[GM]Dave>> They gave me this nifty armor.
[GM]Dave>> And an onion sword.
[GM]Dave>> It really is nifty.
Operator>> You could use it to buy new equipment.
[GM]Dave>> Why would I need a million worth of gear at level 1?
Operator>> You could buy it as you level.
[GM]Dave>> Why would I need a million worth of gear at level 2?
Operator>> No, sir.
Operator>> I don't think you understand.
[GM]Dave>> And whose fault is that?
[GM]Dave>> How am I supposed to know this stuff?
Operator>> I apologize, sir.
Operator>> You use gil to buy new items as you progress in the game.
[GM]Dave>> Well, duh.
[GM]Dave>> Everyone knows that.
[GM]Dave>> You're being silly.
Operator>> Sir, if you don't order gil, I'm going to have to end this call.
[GM]Dave>> Wait, wait.
[GM]Dave>> I'll order 5 million gil.
Operator>> Thank you, sir.
Operator>> Let me start that order for you.
[GM]Dave>> I have one more question, if you don't mind.
Operator>> Yes?
[GM]Dave>> How do you work the gambit system?
[GM]Dave>> I think I'm lost.
Operator>> Gambit?
Operator>> What game are you playing, sir?
[GM]Dave>> FFXII, moron.
[GM]Dave>> Is my gil ready yet?
Operator>> ...
Operator>> I...
That's when she hung up.
Or logged off.
Or returned to the stygian depths of hell.
I thought the call went very well, but my supervisor had some constructive criticism.
At least... I think it was constructive.
Mostly, he just banged his head off the wall.
I guess we'll have to try again tomorrow.
I thought it was a good call.

Lol that was great XD That gambit system pisses me off too!
Great ending Dave!
I can not wait to get my hands on a copy of FFXII.
Is the Gambit system that bad, Myloko?
Gg, sir, gg. I do sorta feel bad for that girl. The wrath of [GM]Dave. It's like dealing with a moron who is really a genius. But still. Gg.
I heard that FFXII felt like an MMORPG, but this is ridiculous. :P
the gambit system is not hard. if you cant figure it out it is because you have general mental problems. its basically the answer to searching through macros. if ur eating and need on hand to play set a gambit to attack the nearest foe adn then move the control stick with one hand and eat with the other. imagine FF11 with a party of 3 people (50% less retarded) and the 3 people that you DO have do precisely what you tell them, i.e. your whm actually heals when your hp falls below 50% without bitching and moaning. play enuff FF12 and when you so much as look at FF11 again you'll want to vomit. you get this wierd sense of relief knowing that in the game you're playing noone is camping your NM noone is putting things up in the AH for wayyyy too much gil, if you hate chocobos i killed 3 of them last night. i dont know how else to describe this game's glory. lets just say if u like FF11 you will love FF12.
oh btw....HOLLA BACK YUNGIN WOOT WOOT!
another quick note. i just re-read my post and id like to state it is 7:25am and i was up by 5am. so yea im a little out of it.
I love my [GM]Dave fix first thing in the morning. Really wakes me up for the day with all the guilt free laughing. I've been dragging these last few days without my wake up LOL.
It reminds me of my husband's annoying sense of humor. I scold him for being rude but he knows I love it. He loves teasing telemarketers, survey calls, and annoying relitives until they hang up.
And I love FFXII and the gambit system is a real hastle saver. I don't want to worry about curing the little whinny dieing people. That's is best purpose so far along with saving me the trouble of worrying about getting my steal in but I'm only a few hours into it and love it.
"[GM]Dave>> Give me a dozen.
Operator>> So, twelve million then, sir?
[GM]Dave>> DEAR GOD, NO!
[GM]Dave>> Twelve gil.
[GM]Dave>> I need to pick up a distilled water."
