Ruune figured he could assemble eight characters, including himself and me, for a party without keeping factions and the sort in mind. With what he brought in this comic, there was nothing keeping anyone in this comic from annihilating me.

Tessinda's the only one with no reason to obliterate me. Everyone else had their reasons:
Linna: She knows I'm one of Punisher's best friends, and she's still mad at Punisher for spearing her when she found his scoreboard quote ring.
RaceBandit: MMO grudge; he hates any MMO that isn't RuneScape, and is only playing Maplestory to get to Punisher and me.
Leona: She's a (bleep), and... actually, she might not have a reason to kill me.
Ruune: Hoo-boy, this guy's the Mobster Kingpin. He turned against us when Amy Rose decided to kill him during the Mouser Interview.
PhaZorus: She's mad that Punisher hogged the whole Yakuza Overrun "event" and will get her fill of the action somehow, even if it means taking on a member of the GM crew.
Tessinda: No known reason.
Jakf_386: He's a chaotic PK and a former New Level 835 member. For the NL835 part, he tried to overrule actions made by Jessy and me and even went as far as to ban Punisher and me from the forums.

Even though I just made this comic, let's say this happened yesterday.
