My renewed hunt for vassals was proving a little more productive than the last time.

GSA?  What the heck is that? I decided to ask around.

What I learned was pretty startling…

After some further investigating, I learned that the GSA was assembled using the much coveted shardage.

In short, there was just about no way in hell I was gonna get a set in the middle of my Pinky War.

But still… I had to have it.  I went to the subway to try to obtain some shards through various trades.

Sadly, I had no takers.

I went out shard hunting after this, killing hundreds of fragments in an attempt to get my GSA the 'proper' way.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a screenshot.  3 Gigabytes of screenshots, and not a SINGLE fragment in the entire collection.

So, using my fantastic skills of screenshot doctoring, I faked it.

Personally, I think I did a pretty good job of capturing the 'feel' of the Fragment.

After killing frags for over an hour and a half, I got mad and went to ask how long I'd have to do this.

There was NO WAY I was gonna blow that much time hunting Fragments.

My hopes crushed, I ran back to my mules and cried.  (no picture. you'll just have to take my word for it.)

And then… I got an idea…  I @telled my old vassal, Vishok the Blade, and asked him if he had any GSA….

And by God, he did.

I ran out to Glendon Wood, where he was hanging out.  I begged him to let me have it, to which I was laughed at quite profusely.  After he got tired of doing the *point and laugh* emote (must have done it for an hour or so), he finally got tired of me still begging.  Yelling at me and telling me no, he left me no option but to threaten him.

At which point, he portalled out of there.

As luck would have it, not more than fifteen minutes, I got a message from a fan in Yaraq.  He was telling me that my former vassal was there.

I hopped a portal and arrived in no time.  Unfortunately, he was hiding inside one of the buildings, and wouldn't come out to fight.

So lit his building on fire, to flush him out.

Sure enough, it did the trick.

This pissed me off.  He didn't even use his GSA.  He was just being a greedy mongolian ass whore.

I challenged him to a duel.  If I won, I'd get to borrow his GSA for my Pinky War, until he needed it back.  He demanded that if I won a prize, then he should get a prize for winning as well.  I felt confident that all my standing around begging for vassals had given me enough experience so that I could destroy him.  So I let him name his prize.

He chose to have me as a vassal.  If he won, I'd swear to him, pledging my services for an entire year.

Fair enough.  Let the games begin!

Early on, it looked like I had the advantage.

(Well, it WOULD look like I had the advantage, if I didn't do a really shitty job of doctoring this picture…)

Unfortunately, Vishok's counter move was more than I'd expected.

I'm sorry to report that I was knocked out cold.

True to my word, when I regained consciousness four days later, I swore my servitude to Vishok the Blade.

A bet is a bet, after all.

A few days later, I was standing around in Mayoi, looking all cool in my new cow suit, in honor of my recent move to Neenerneener.net.

Suddenly, I recieved a message from my Monarch…  But it wasn't Vishok the Blade…   Vishok had swore to someone else!  My new monarch told me to meet them him at the Mayoi portal drop off in two hours.

When the two hours were up, I ran to the drop off.  Once I got there, I got the shock of my life.

Vishok the Blade had deliberately sworn to a Pinky.  Not only that, but he'd sworn to the biggest Pinky on the entire server.  They don't come any Pinker than Bortin of Frostfell.

I guess he wanted to prove it too, because he proceeded to do all kinds of horrid emotes and have sex with portal gems…

I was in shock.  Here I was, at war with the Pinkies, and suddenly I'm sworn under the biggest, pinkest Pinky of em all.

Vishok would pay for this…  oh, he would pay…

Then again… I think Vishok should be the least of my worries right now…
