Practice makes perfect. And Frederick Douglass.

Today I was suppose to get swordfish glove after getting those levels and fish until I caught 1000 swordfish. But the problem was, I never really had the tokens to actually buy the gloves. So my plan was to play enough FOG rounds to buy them. Now, I'm no FOG MVP, but I win most of my games, if not for my FOG, then for my combat skills. But today I got really frustrated. In short, I probably played 7 or 8 matches, and lost 3 of them. 2 because my opponent was better, and one because I got kicked out and it got flagged as a forfeiture. And of the games I did win, it was by a margin of 1120 to 720 charges, or something similar. I hardly got above 1200 charges, and I felt as if my skill level suck. At 52 magic I could hardly hybrid and had to hope my bind kept them still long enough to attack. So needless to say, I didn't get my gloves. I got 100 more tokens to go. Which mean it's gonna be long way until I get a rune berserker shield.
So I'm taking a break from combat. I'll be doing 10 FOG match each time I start my journey and if I do well, I should earn at least 50 tokens. That way when I do get everything I want, I'll have a reserve of tokens to fall back on. And I'll use this time to train magic. Hybrid, here I come. But for now, I do have a FOG shopping list of things I'd like to get. 750 tokens total. I got a long way to go.
Swordfish Gloves
D'hide Coif
Rune Berserker Shield
Rune Gauntlets
So until I get 200 token for the fishing gloves, I'm gonna runecraft. I actually did do some runecrafting today. When Runespan first opened up I flocked to the site and went for lvl 39 to 50 in a breeze. It was so easy. Today I got 13 more lvls and made it to 63.

I took to the second biggest island I could access on the middle floor, and I basically camped. Most of the time I wasn't paying too much attention; sort of, by reading Frederick Douglass slave narrative. Who knew the general store in Runescape actually sold these books? Other times I was alert I was racing with a clan member to see who can get lvls faster. I am proud to say I am ahead of him.
I also got pulled in by 2 random events. While they are nice I really wanted to see the Demon Drill Sargent again. I thought I had a good chance too, since everyone else was getting a visit from him. Instead, I got pull in by the quiz master, and was thrown into Evil Bob's jail.

When I finally hit 63, I decided I would retire for the night. All that hard work wears you out. But before that, I went to the Runecrafting Guild and played 3 rounds in GOP. Tokens are much easier to get here, even when you lose! So I'll likely buy blue Runecrafting robes after obtaining 4000 tokens. And I already have 1075!
In real life...
I read half of the FD slave narrative I am suppose to be reading in class. I'll likely finish the rest tomorrow after class or Karate, or by Monday. It's actually short compared to others so it shouldn't take me long. And it's not a bad read. I reads better than some and is a bit entertaining. Okay, that's the wrong word to use. Um...educational. Yeah, educational. It's very different from Harriet Jacobs "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl". I just hope I read enough tonight for the class discussion tomorrow. I hat reading and I'm kinda lazy...
However, I will decrease my playing time since I have a midterm next Thursday. In Macroeconomics... Woe is me...
