Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent. 2.0

Tonight while running Prae for the 7th time today on my baby Dancer I encountered a group where the other 3 were all from the same server. They were bantering back and forth during the starting cutscene and I just couldn't figure out what was going on. Then we zoned in and I realized they were friends that had queued together so this was just joking between friends. Got a little farther into the long cutscenes and I started joining in and they included me in the fun. We got to the last boss and the tank asks are we playing tank buster roulette? I asked what that was and they told me the tank turns off his stance and we see who gets hit by the tankbuster first. I said well its up to the healer because shes probably gonna be scraping me off the floor. Everyone laughed. I don't think he actually did it. Got to the end and thanked them for the most fun I had had in Prae in years.

Ok I'm liking this trend. So far I've learned of Train Roulette and now Tankbuster Roulette. If there are any more fun ways to play chicken with death I wanna know.

Actually they were from your server. I wish I remembered the names but alas I was playing with a monster headache so not at my best. One was wearing a white chocobo suit with the hat that looks like the ones the chocobo travel point guys wear. Really a fun bunch of people that turned an otherwise very crappy day into a decent one for me. I was not playing on my posting character but was instead on my main V'aren

I encountered the same thing except it was in Castrum! I was the healer and thought I was in the run from Hell. Tank couldn't keep aggro worth beans.

It took all my MP to keep everyone alive. Then, while I was recovering MP after a wall to wall pull, one of the damage dealers told me about the roulette game they had been playing.

They apologized for the stress they had caused and complimented my healing because they hadn't expected anyone to be able to keep the "winner" alive.

I laughed and let them play the game on the final two bosses. It was fun! Got three commendations too.
