Setting Goals and Reaching Them

[Shadowood]

Today is a proud day for myself. (shameless bragging session to follow, sorry)

I set a goal to reach 5,000 battles won and today I have achieved that goal. I have done this in just over 1 year. I joined February 2016.



I am setting a new goal and that is to have 10,000 battles won by February 2018 and be #1 of the TOP 10 List. (currently 7th and in good company)

Indeed, unless that goal is a deadline and you procrastinate a lot.

I finally got there myself. It took one year and three days. I'll try to race you for the 10k mark, Shadowood, but I think you have too much of a head start.

Including skirmish wins, though, 10k is not that far away. But we don't mix skirmish and plunder.

Congrats Haron!! Aye 10,000 is the goal and we will do it faster then that one crusty old sea dog.

Dear Sir,
Your presence is required at the skirmish union hall in Tzogos before server reset. You will be allowed to turn in your skirmish card unless you can provide documentation proving you have sought treatment for your views on skirmish and plunder not mixing. I had hoped these old world views would have been eradicated in the friendlier Avonmora of today.

Dear, exalted skirmish King,

We are pleased to inform you that Haron is currently undergoing comprehensive treatment. The issue you raised is, alas, not his only problem, and thus he has now been admitted to Avonmora's re-education programme. We will make sure he learns the universal core values, like viewing skirmish and plunders as equals, seeing traders and pirates as having the same value, and recognising that the crew of LMMs have the same rights as those aboard a frigate.

We have a long way to go, but we are slowly making progress. Today, for the first time, a nurse who accidentally touched one of his gold pieces was not immediately strangled and cut into little pieces. She was simply knocked unconscious and hung upside down with a note of warning fastened to her chest. We're slowly getting somewhere.

I hope this will put you at ease, Mr Lowe. I am sure that when Haron is released, sorry, has finished his treatment, he will become a productive member of the society.

Best regards, Mengele, Chief Psychiatrist of Avonmora's re-education programme.

A trip to Mengele is always resourceful. But, I swear I saw Haron today in the tavern; he couldn't have had a twin....

I'm sure you are mistaken. Haron is currently in isolation, after a failed escape attempt. He had disguised himself as a trader, and dug a tunnel from his cell into the sewer systems. However, he must have slipped and fallen, because he was found unconscious in the tunnel with a clearly visible head wound, making his face unrecognisable. When the nurses tried to remove his disguise, which looked rather like something from a manga cartoon, he shouted that Haron had kidnapped him and placed him there.

Not believing a word he said, our guards dragged him away. While being moved, he was heard making several suggestions to the guards about new rules with which our establishment should be run, then continued complaining that his suggestions never was taken seriously. Clearly delusional, he is, as stated, currently in isolation, but we remain confident that electroshocks kind words and nutritious meals will cure his current condition.

Very well then. Congratulations on your 5000 battles won. You will receive one complimentary upgrade at the next skirmish town hall meeting.
