After the past 2 days, I'm feeling that a name change to "Obi MeWon UObi" could be in order..
I have never in all my years of playing been one that is into IDOCS. I've stumbled upon a few here and there with minimal results. Other than when the house directly in front of an old keep that I had fell, that was nice. Always seemed like too much work, and a challenge to track the houses you find. Let alone making sure that you are free around the time that a house is to fall, and competing with the others that are there.
Yet I think I have found my new UO love.. And since this is the bragging section, I really wanted to stick my chest out a little!
Yesterday a friend showed me a tower that was about to fall, and since I didn't have anything else to do I decided to hang out and wait for it to fall. Not a bad find, and only a few people there. Scored a box of doom arties including a couple AOF's and an Orny, a few tokens for various things, and 90 lvl 6 tmaps. I thought that was my one lucky IDOC of the year....
So last night/this morning, bored out of my mind, I decide to walk around using TM's IDOC finder just for the heck of it (Thank you by the way for that little tool TM). After about 45 minutes of wandering around Tram and then Malas, the script dings at me and tells me that it found something. Go me!! Another house that will be falling shortly after server up. Mark a rune, make some breakfast, coffee, and I sit there and stare at the screen while reading posts here for about an hour.
House finally falls! Again, myself and two other people there for the drop. I start looting, grabbing the entire box I see that has arties in it. Same with the chest that I see a token it...powerscroll box, etc. Come across a series of bags with thousands and thousands of neon tub dyed bolts of cloth...Sure do love my bag of sending!!
Final tally:
2 Scout's Suits - 2 Knight's Suits - 2 Sorcerer's Suits - 5 full soulstone tokens - 4 Japan Promo tokens - 3 Xfer Tokens -2 Bleue luck sets - 3 virtue tiles - Inquis - 25 various doom arties (HoM, Orny, AoF, Collar) - 18 120 PS's including Magery - Couple nice statues -And on, and on, and on, and on.. Did I mention that I got thousands of bolts of neon cloth??
I sure wish that I would have grabbed the dye tubs that were there, but wasn't thinking. Too caught up in the excitement of looting through someone elses stuff!
Figure I made a good 300 million gold pull off this one house. I know it's probably not common, but extremely fun and looking to do even more IDOC's soon!
Okay...I'll quit sticking my chest out now.

No really, Congratulations on finding a needle in a haystack. I always say that IDOCs are like opening Christmas presents and not knowing what you are going to find. Sometimes you get a tie, or a stupid piece of clothing and then other times you get that cool toy, like a new GPS System for your Car or that Wide Screen TV that is hidden somewhere else in the house, wrapped in that small little presnt with just the picture inside!
