Display MoreAfter many weeks of not being able to reach him, MasterMind finally called me out of the blue a few hours ago.
I asked him how come he had been so hard to reach lately, and he explained to me in detail (that I cannot get into on here), about the difficulties he and his team had been facing in Haiti. It's fair to say that without the Master's exceptional survival instincts, negotiating tactics and Mensa-level IQ, the humanitarian team he was leading likely would not have made it back in full.
MasterMind was excited on the phone, as it turns out after his latest run-in with the long arms of the OGame justice system in Keid, the Master told me he has finally decided to return for real, but on a different server.
The Master told me that one of his long and faithful disciples (the main competitor of Khaos, the fallen former gang member of FTS) called Ares, had handed over a sacrificial goat, in the form of his Fafnir account to the Master.
MasterCard had not even been in possession of the account for more than a day, before he started making hits left and right, in his usual Michael Jackson-inspired fashion. I took a closer look at one of the CRs, specifically the one against Setto (Kaiba). And while the initial disappointment of no Reapers was undeniable, the almost 3m BCs was still an impressive sight to behold.
"These noobs have no skills, only credit cards," he told me, in an almost dissatisfactory voice. "I will have to teach them all a lesson I learned first hand at a gay bar in Timbuktu."
And before I got to hear any of the juicy details that evening surely entailed, all of a sudden my wife had sneaked up on me and started asking me all sorts of questions, ranging from who I was talking with to when I would start making dinner.
It was indeed my turn to prepare a meal for the evening, but I felt strongly that the Master’s return to the almighty OGame, let alone the return to my phone, was more deserving of my time, so I did the reasonable thing of sending her out to pick up some fast food.
As I got back on the phone, the Master was openly unhappy with having been left on hold, a truly egregious crime against someone with so much to do, and so little time. I reminded the Master to remember to FS, but he assured me that he had already toggled on vmode. A smart and calculated decision as per usual, I thought.
He told me about an upcoming alliance event, in the name of UNiTY that he will be hosting on Saturday and invited me to attend. At first I blindly accepted and thanked the Master for having thought of me, for this exclusive event. Then as more details were expanded upon, it turned out said event was not online and strictly required a valid negative STD test for all attendees, to which with much regret I had to decline.
The Master seemed annoyed with me, and it wasn't long before he informed me he had to go and start planning out said event in more detail, and just as we were saying our goodbyes, food had arrived and I grabbed a quick bite while watching some Netflix.
GG MasterCard, always a pleasure, I hope to hear from you again soon =)
I'm so glad you're back : )
