My last Magic Prison season, which I completed by myself, was about 1.5 years ago. I used to play with friends from Surabaya and Balikpapan, but due to internal issues, our team eventually disbanded. Booby Moonzie retired to focus on real life, Ko Vito did the same to grow his insurance business, and Fusan lost his spirit to play without Ko Bobby's guidance. Aquilegila remained cheerful as ever but transitioned to being a casual player. I almost forgot to mention Ichwan. He's still competitive, managing several accounts including Fusan's, but he received an offer to pilot for the Ahn family team. This left me searching for a new team. Although I received several offers, I struggled to find time to play. The Magic Prison schedule on Saturdays in Indonesia, where a 6-day workweek is common, added to my difficulties. My wife usually wanted us to go out on Saturdays, making it impossible for me to play Ragnarok and participate in the MP competition with a muted Discord. It wouldn't have been fair to my team if I couldn't fully commit. That's why I turned to Stan Pilot's service, which provided both piloting and guidance on how to properly participate in MP, build a team, and develop my character according to my job. Over almost three or four seasons, I learned a lot from him and his team. Fast forward to April 2024: I honestly missed the thrill of playing MP. Watching Stan's team finish as the runner-up reignited my old competitive spirit. However, real-life commitments, work, and my wife still hinder my ability to fully dive back into competitive play. Still, I wanted to participate. So, I decided to play casually this time, aiming for a relaxed top 600 position while maintaining points for future reference. My plan was to build a decent, not overly competitive team to achieve this goal, focusing on having fun with minimal effort. With proper communication, team building, and some light practice, I believe our experience will help us secure a spot in the top 600.
