Lemme tell you a little story about a very good friend of mine.
One night, we began a C mode game on Version 2 with our usual group, commonly refered to as "The Three Stooges" or "dirty gaijin". Naturally, we had to park out in the Hunter's Guild and wait a little while for a fourth player to join our game before we began the Challenge.
So... we waited. And we waited some more. Eventually, I think I flipped the channel and watched some latenight RONCO infomercials or something, checking back periodically.
After a bit of waiting, HALLELUJAH!, somebody joins the game! Of course, we're all ready to start this thang up and git fonky. That is, everyone but Deus.
He sits there, idle. I shout messages at him, but... he doesn't answer back. I run circles around him but he doesn't flinch. After a few minutes, the other player got sick of waiting and bailed on us, leaving us back at square one.
Eventually, Deus would get disconnected. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif The next day we meet up again, and it turns out that... he woke up, greeted with the PSO title screen later that same morning. He had fallen asleep while waiting for another player to join our game! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif
As if that weren't enough to win him the title of Sleepy Head, here's the clincher...
A few nights ago, us three created a C8 game, right? Well, us three bumbling gaijin in Alcyone 6 obviously had to wait, once again, for another player.
So, we fooled around, laughed, singed and frolicked, until... we noticed that Deus had been "afk" for quite some time. I figured he was away, making food or something, no big deal.
... Soon after, a Japanese C player joined our game. Trying to buy a little time, I said some stupid crap using Message Select, but alas, it did not work. This player was eager to begin, so, to prevent him leaving and having to wait another 15 or so minutes for another player, I went ahead and began the Challenge.
Deus just stood there, idle, at the beginning of the Challenge until we had gotten to the second to last area of the C. But it was too late for him, as he eventually got trapped outside a switch gate. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif
A warrior, a patriot, a TRUE sleep deprived PSO devotee!
Do the right thing and VOTE Deus Irae for Sleepy Head.
