Ok, the mini-chain is sworn together. I got a message earlier saying that Azryel II is having computer problems (may have been posted in the forums somewhere, as it sounds familiar).
Let's do this: Ritual-IX, when you get ingame please try to find Azryel II and swear to him. If he isn't ingame, try to find Vermillion Ace and swear to him instead. If you swear to VA before finding Azryel II, we will simply swear Az back in after his computer problems have been resolved.
Spoonerii, after Ritual-IX is sworn in, please try to find Luang and have him swear to you. The easiest way to find Luang seems to be to send him a PM right before you go ingame (or anytime while you're ingame too lol). He will get the PM and know to log in to swear to you. Luang is European time so don't expect a response when it's 4 AM for him.
Thank you all for acting quickly on this.
