I admit that I have my reservations about the whole
"armadillo" thing, but I wanted to be part of an "all-monk"
event. So, I went early last (thursday) night to beat the anticipated
lines at the guild. While I was on (~1.5 hours), there were roughly a
dozen "-dillos" at all times in the West Freeport area,
including Queendilla.
There was a lot of cooperation (achieving the white sash and
hunting down trouble-makers) and comraderie amongst the clones.
At least two "inkies", (who were preying on weakened players) were
dispatched/harassed and or chased from the zone by the clones.
As the event continues, it should be even more interesting, as the "higher"
level
-dillos move up to take on even more challenging foes.
I think that the 'dillos have yet to question their heritage. Questions of
"why am I here?" and "why do we all look alike?" will surely lead to a mass
exodus to 'find their roots' in Ak'anon.
