I admit it, I'm a busy man. Unlike many people on Rubi-Ka, I've got commitments that take up a lot of my time. I need to keep food on the table, pay attention to my wife, see my friends, and in general live that life thing. I only get to pick up my Mauser and bring death to OT trespassers a couple of nights a week. Don't get me wrong, I like getting out there and doing my part for the Clans. But it's hard to find people to team with.
I had some good fortune a couple of weeks ago and found an excellent team that meshed well and actually had some tactics, a new experience for me. We punished a few team missions and had a great time doing it. We had so much fun that we arranged to meet again in a week's time.
Time passed, I did what I had to do during the week, and on Saturday I kissed the wife goodbye while I slipped into my armour and loaded up. My team rendezvoused as agreed in Old Athens... and I stared at them in despair.
While I had been taking care of business, the rest of my team had obviously been taking care of serious business. They were all 20+ levels above me now, and no longer needed my help. They couldn't even bring me along for pity's sake.
It's hard to be casual
