I was on my level 50 fire/fire blaster on Freedom, Serpentine Fire, just doing some quick market stuff when I saw someone advertising for people to help take down Kraken in Perez Park. What the heck, I thought. I don't have any of the GM badges on this character and it won't take long. I said I'd join.
A few minutes later we take Kraken down. It goes smoothly, and everyone is happy. A couple of people want to hunt more monsters, but most leave. I go back to my marketing without specifically saying I was interested in anything further. However a few minutes later the leader tells me that Jack in Irons and Eochai are up.
Ok then. I join again and head to Croatoa. Along the way I check to see if Sally is up -- there she is, right in front of me! I knock her off and earn the badge. Guess I'd met her once before.
After we take down Jack and Eochai, people want to check for other GMs. Someone heads to Crey. I head to Dark Astoria. Jurrasik is up, and right after I'm told this I target Adamaster.
We recruit more people (half the team tends to leave after each monster defeat) and we kill Jurrasik, then Adamaster. Nifty! Are there any more?
Well, the only other normal GM left is Babbage. I decide to go look, but in the meantime the entire team falls apart. However, after searching Boomtown, I find Babbage mumbling to himself in a back corner of the zone.
I send a tell to the former team leader. After a few minutes he comes and we assemble a new team. At least one person has just come back after a long hiatus, and GMs are one of their favorite things that they miss about the game. When ready, we take Babbage down.
What other ones can we go for, people want to know? Well, there aren't many left. There's Lusca, of course, but I warn people that that is a very difficult fight, more like a mini-raid. But we decide to go look anyway.
Lusca is up. In fact, there's another team taking her down -- and they've only just started! We joined in and, contrary to my warnings, it was quite easy to pull off with 2+ teams going at it.
At this point there's only the Paladin left, but of course you have to grab that one before he's been built, and what are the chances of that? In fact, I have NEVER gotten the Knight Errant badge in the game before. In the old days it was very difficult to discover the clockworks in the process of making the paladin, and since it became easier I've just never tried for it. So I tell the team I'm done for the day, and the leader says, "To King's Row!" I think, why? Then he adds, "Unusual clockwork activity!"
Sure enough, that message had just popped up moments earlier. I hadn't even noticed it.
We head to KR and I come across the partially-assembled Paladin right away. There's another team there too -- I think the remnants of the team that helped us take Lusca down. We kill clockwork for a good 15 or 20 minutes, and finally it's over, and we have the badge.
Short of spawning the Kronos Titan, we managed every GM badge in the game in just about 2 1/2 hours: Kraken, Jack in Irons, Eochai, Sally (not really a GM of course), Jurassik, Adamaster, Babbage, Lusca, and Paladin. ^_^ Maybe we should have started a Rikti Ship Raid and called out U'*** Gr'ai?
