My day as a living target

[Herb]

We actually figured out how to get on top of the claim rods, and sat and had a good time chatting for about 3 hours before the landgrab even started.... Landgrab 19 I believe it was...
Then some guy comes up and starts complaining that we're cheating and abusing a bug because he couldn't kill us. And he's going to report us if we attempt to claim the land... My soc leader replied "Well we can't kill you either, bugger off, where's the fairness in that?" (paraphrased).

Of course, being the diplomat I was, I hopped down for a "Fair" fight... Before I could even pull out my gun, I'm pushing up daisies.

I then spent the next hour trying to get away from the revival terminal because I kept being killed by someone who was INVISIBLE. (How's that for fair? )
About 4 minutes later, I notice that my soc leader and everyone else I was with is in my same predicament (apparently that guy could kill us after all ).

Ok, I finally make it to a TP and attempt the southern most island (with the broken TP). Another mistake (PKs galore), but not as bad. I get forced to swim for 20 minutes back to Memorial Island.

Ok, I said, the land grab hasn't even started yet. All the Ubers are there, let's try the rig.

I head out to the rig and everyone seems peaceful enough. Couple noobs, a couple people on my level, and all of a sudden one guy starts shooting me.... My last words "Hey man, I'm just here to chat!"

Death.

Ok, I'm ticked off. I head back and ask: "Now come on, the ubers are out. Can we have peace?" His response: "Sure!" then proceeds to shoot a poor noob in the back ... So, being the Noob Avenger that I am I shoot him with my Marber Blaster and take him out in 1 hit.... ME: "Can we have some peace now? ) The guy's friend was asked to kill me, so he told me "could you please leave and act like I shot you?" So I took a walk and came back a few mins later, and before I can whip out my gun again, the guy I shot comes back and kills me and is all ticked off because "I shot him in the back after asking for peace!"

About 3 hours of fighting with my soc leader now joining to help out.... and no oil. I give up and quit for the night.... with the biggest headache I've ever had.

Got some cool screenshots though
