Our little Salvage group apparently isn't running as smooth as we had all hoped. And, I hate to say it, but it's probably partially my fault cuz of my lil' mishap Sunday morning. Having just returned from the emergency room at TWO different hospitals, I was just not up for gaming Sunday afternoon, so I missed-out on our 3rd planned Salvage run. And apparently the run didn't go so well. And apparently there was much yelling again. ; ;
Tuesday night @10pm was our planned 4th run. By 8pm, Hybrid and I were both on Gigidy, but noone else was. So we go do a couple {Assault}s because we both want to start clearing all of them for Captain's rank, but also because I really needed the assault points to get into Salvage that night. So we use all 4 tags. While we were about to start on our 4th assault, and a couple other people were on Gigidy, we start wondering where the rest of our group is, cuz we didn't even see them online. This was around 9:50pm.
Ya know what? I just erased like 5 paragraphs cuz it sounded like I was bitchin too much. (And I don't like writing about negativity on here.) Simply put: not everyone showed up. But we still had 6 people. There's no reason not to enter Salvage if we have a full party ready to go, is there? We can still try an easier route. We can still farm for gil items. Hell, we can still just go explore some different areas and try new job combinations! But come on... don't throw a fit about noone being online and then log off yourself. (without even telling anyone)
Apparently our schedule needed revising, so we did that to the best of our capabilities with only having half of the group there. Hopefully everyone will still be able to do these runs at these new times. Hell, even if we can't make it to these times, we can just try to go on runs when we all happen to be online! I don't know.
I just want to do Salvage. Flat out, Salvage is the path to my primary goal of this entire game.
Quit complaining and try to think of resolutions to the problem. Damn, y'all suck. ;-)

Oops
This morning around 4:30 AM I fell asleep at the wheel of my car while driving home. Apparently I veered off the left side of the highway, punched through the large metal guard-rail, rolled my car several times, and went through another metal fence before landing up-right almost on the on-coming side of the highway. Needless to say, my Jeep Wrangler is completely totaled.
Yes, I am fine.
Seat belts and airbags save lives.
They do not, however, save the hard-top of your Jeep from being ripped off your vehicle like an orange peel. They do not even keep your cellphone within an arm's reach after flipping over multiple times. I will never complain about "that damned flashing LED on my cell phone" ever again, cuz if it wasn't for that, I would have never found it and I would have been sitting on the side of the highway for quite some time because apparently the majority of drivers (at least in north-eastern Ohio) are assholes and won't stop for a guy waving his arms at them off the side of the road who has OBVIOUSLY wrecked his vehicle and is in need of assistance.
But I digress.
People, wear your safety belts. I have no doubt in my mind that if I wasn't wearing mine, I would be dead right now.
Seriously.
So now I come to the point where I need to say that I need to take a break from FFXI. :( Hopefully it won't be too long. I'm thinking a week or two or three. Eh, then again, I might be back online later today. I just need to make sure I still haven't sustained any serious injuries, eventhough the emergency room has just released me with a clean bill of health. I need to find a new car. I need to make sure my insurance covers all of this. etc... You get the picture.
{Take care} and I hope to see/talk to y'all soon.

Second time, same as the first...
Second time, same as the first:
A little bit louder and a little bit worse!
Actually, GigidyGigidy's 2nd Salvage run went fairly well last night. Well, better than the 1st run went. We ended up doing Zhayolm Remnants again, but this time we took a little more time on the first 2 floors to farm cells that we needed. Perhaps a little too much time was spent on the 1st floor while going after Incus Cells (weapon) but like everything else that is Salvage, it'll take time for us to really get the feel for how to do this right.
At least this time I could actually use my shadows! The first run I had unlocked my subjob and JAs almost right away... but didn't get a magic cell the entire time. Granted, last time I actually had a lot more equipment slots unlocked too. I think I had everything but legs/feet, ranged/ammo and body unlocked. This time I only had weapon and hands. :-P
We got up to the 4th floor within 30 minutes, so we went after Poroggo Madame to get some 15 pieces... one of which was the remaining piece necessary for Caol's Usu feet! We basically wiped 2 or 3 times to the NM before we finally got it down... but at least we know what to do now. It went somethign along the lines of:
(1) THF sack pulls from the North room and heads towards the east room to die
(2) MNK #1 Chi Blasts the NM as soon as she enters the north/south hallway and then runs towards the west room, where everyone else is waiting
(3) MNK #2 waits at the south door of the north/south hallway (making sure to stay out of sight from the froggies) and Chi Blasts the NM if necessary and also heads towards the west room
(4) put the smack-down on the NM after she completely enters the west room and try to pull her as far from the center room as possible so that we don't aggro the other froggies either during the fight or while she's heading back to her spawn location
(5) everyone stay in close so when she charms us, noone dies (NOTE: Taru froggies are smaller than others. lol)
(6) repeat 4 and 5 til she's dead
(7) lot gearz0rz and /hurray
So, it took us 2 runs just to get some 15 gear... ... ... lol Nah, we're doin fine. I think we have the cell order down now (after only 2 runs!) We just need to figure out how much time we should spend on each floor farming cells and learn when to just cut our losses and move on to the next floor for different cells. Like, it would really have helped us out if we had some HP cells.
In other news: we headed up to sky right after Salvage and did our last Kirin, Suzaku and Byakko with our current group. Before Sunday's sky run, apparently a bunch of people are getting cut from the shell. Guess we'll see who stays and who goes.
And damn you Kneehigh for being ahead of me in points for D Legs!!!
At least we got another haidate last night for the group. 1 less item for us to clamor over. Can't wait til we start selling THOSE. :)

Everything is different, but the same...
Everything is different, but the same... things are more moderner than before... bigger, and yet smaller... it's computers... San Dimas High School football rules!
{Dynamis - Beaucidine} on Sunday seemed exciting to me; new zone, new paths, new gear drops, etc.... Hell, even city-runs used to seem exciting to me. Maybe it's because I finally now have all of my Dynamis city clears... maybe it's because I have now experienced the Icelands... maybe it's because I don't really have any AFv2 gear that I really want/need at this point in time... But whatever it was last night {Dynamis - Bastok} was more boring than watching shit fossilize.
The only thing that was really keeping me awake was chatting with people on Vent about how boring the run seemed. lol Well, that and laughing about how Treu was bitching me out for getting BLU AFv2 Legs free-drop to me. :-P I suppose Somajan's {/assist} macros helped a bunch during that first hour (samples include: "For a good time call Vangaurd Militant 8675309", "What is your name Vanguard Defender?", "What is your quest Vanguard Vindicator?" and the one I liked best of all "Achoooooooo!"), but then a new main assist came in and everything dulled-down again.
I guess there just wasn't much talking going on in LS-chat. And people didn't really seem all that excited about various AF that was obtained. We still got something like 18 pieces and 2x 100 currency pieces. People SHOULD have been excited, and yet they didn't really seem like it. /shrug whateva. BRING ON XARC!!! :-D
In other news, a new admin post on lolFail's forums site showed up yesterday afternoon entitled "Announcement: Breaking Linkpearls (PLEASE READ)". :-(
So, immediately, I {/panic}.
I still need gear! (D Legs, D Head... would still like to get some A Hands and an Osode or 10 too)
I still need gil! (to pay for various cursed items as well as black belt items)
I still... hell.... I still wanna hang out with a bunch of the people in this LS!
Apparently this was the same reaction of many. Several people were sending me /tells all last night saying how worried they were about being booted. People asking me to check their "attendance %", their "lifetime attendance %", their current amount of points... People saying how it'd be so unfair that they get booted because they've put X amount of hours into outside farming and yet haven't really gotten any items yet. People comparing themselves against other members to try and gauge their probability of getting their pearl broken. People asking why I thought I might get the boot cuz they thought I was actually a sack holder. (All I do is take attendance people. Anyone can do that. ... Wait. I mean: I'm valuable! This is a tough job! I'm irreplacable!!!)
I suppose I'm glad that at least ONE person actually had the same feelings as me and wasn't just worried about gear/gil and said he'd actually miss hanging out if he got kicked. :)
Well, whatever happens, I guess I should still be happy. Hell, I got a D Body and a Haidate in a matter of months! Treu got 2 pairs of W Legs (one for him and one for Screamin). Dude, that's major accomplishments right there! So, if I'm still in, then cool, I can still hopefully get some more gear to help pimp-out my MNK. If I'm out, I guess that'll at least give me more time to focus on CoP and Assaults and Salvage and the ton of other things I still need to get to.

Fox has one of those new reality shows at eight, 'Fast animals, slow children.'
So umm, YEAH!
Salvage went about as smoothly as I had expected it to on our first run: about as smooth as a baby's bottom... that has been put through a blender set on "chop" for 5 to 10 seconds. (I'm not positive, but I'd imagine that that's not "smooth" at all.)
We got so pwned it was almost laughable. Almost.
I don't understand why some of the people on our run were expecting to actually like cruise thru the floors and kill NMs with ease, when some of us had never even been on a Salvage run. Oh, and it didn't help that cells were being dished-out to people kinda slowly. And that some cells were just lost because everyone passed on them, eventhough not everyone HAD them. And that we were kind of rushing through everything and didn't get the cells we needed to progress to the next floors. And that instructions seemed to be changed on-the-fly which caused more problems than they resolved. And that there was a lot of YELLING which I think just ended up causing more frustration among our group. And that we split up on the first floor and were killlin mobs kinda slowly. And that.... oh geez. I'll just stop there.
I don't have time to write much this morning, but a word comes to mind when I think about the run last night: clusterfuck.
Simple solution: it's gonna take time, experience, and more planning in order to accomplish anything in Salvage. I think everyone realizes that now, so now that we got served, everyone can lower their expectations for the time-being and hopefully our next run will be a little easier-paced.
Despite all the negativity in this post, I'm still tryin to keep an optimistic mindset on our Salvage group. :)

Re-elect Mayor Goldie Wilson. "Progress" is his middle-name!
Progress Progress Progress Progress Progress
(1) Expanded Mog Locker to 70
(2) Merit: Kick Attacks 4/5
(3) Merit: Counter 2/5
(4) LolFail payout from last week: over 600k! (I can almost TASTE that Blackbelt. It's actually within sight now that payouts are this huge.)
(5) Dynamis - Beaucidine: My first Icelands run. Got the clear! Got PUP Body (free dropped to me) and then inadvertently started a fairly large, and somewhat awkward, argument between several LS members as to how "I now had to level PUP since I have an AFv2 piece now" (yeah, I was totally kidding) and some ppl laughed and some ppl took offense and how PUPs have to take all this crap from non-PUPs and they don't know how it's a sweet sweet job and blah blah blah... After my "i gotta level it now" comment, I pretty much just stfu cuz I think a couple ppl actually got mad over it. lol
(6) Sky: we sold a couple items already for this week :)
(7) Salvage: YUS! We finally got a linkpearl set up (GigidyGigidy, and coincidentally it's the same color yellow as my HellsBells pearl), got our members together (Khrone, Treubond, Ratman, Hybridkiller, Hulcalan, Drayco, Caol, Mactatus), discussed jobs, times (Tuesday 10pm, Thursday 10pm, Sunday 3pm), some rules, yadda yadda yadda. Yes, Salvage is actually happening! w000000000000000t!!!
In summary: closer to capped merits; closer to blackbelt; closer to Usu gear. My long-term goals in this game are happening!

I'm a Mog. Half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend!
[GM]Dave kills me.

ahhhh, good stuff. XD

If it wasn't bad enough that you're single, suddenly society makes you out to be some form of freak.
Maybe you like being single.
Maybe you're waiting for the right person to come along.
Maybe you're busy leveling up your ranger.
ahhhh, good stuff. XD

Today's Secret Word is...
Thundercunt!
Yeah, our LS has had our own little memes throughout our somewhat brief history so far: "Team Mexico", "we're disbanding the LS because [insert random made-up excuse]", "I just broke [player]'s pearl ... cuz I felt like it", "pulling a Sush" (falling asleep at your computer), anything referencing Pandas, YouTube video lists (for when you're bored), etc... But last night Treu made some off-kilter comment about how he was upset that some schmuck was buying Ancient Beastcoins off the AH for 9k and immediately selling them for 9.2k, to which he referred to the player as a "Thundercunt". Much hilarity (and name-calling) ensued. Nomar has now dubbed Treu with this as his nickname, to go alongside my nickname of "tattooface". XD
While farming last night, I noticed Shiiga's SMN gear. Niiiiiiice stuff. AF+1, AFv2, ZNM head piece, Yinyang, etc... It was pretty slick to see someone have a free Garuda out for a while while Ballad was active. :-D I'm jealous, but now I have someone to look up to while leveling my SMN.
So! My progress over the past month or so:
(1) {Salvage} access O - w0000t!!! I joined a random group of people (5 of us total) and did The Black Coffin ToAU Mission. Turned out to be, like the Lost Kingdom fight, a LOT easier than I had initially expected. We rocked it out with out any difficulties whatsoever (well, 1 guy DID die right before we beat it) and we weren't even all that organized. We had said that we were gonna take out the RNGs first (which were on the outsides) and then work our way towards the middle... but when the fight started, it seemed that pretty much everyone just went 1-on-1 with someone. lol
(2) PUP O - I unlocked Puppetmaster a little while ago, primarily because I was bored and wanted to do something a little different. One day while I was trying to deathport back home from Sandy, I pulled out the automaton and tried to die... and the automaton just kept whooping butt. I ended up leveling before I actually died. Couple days later I took my PUP outside Basty just to do a little water crystal farming for my gardening... and ended up getting PUP up to 12. lol I just couldn't stop! It's actually kinda fun to play and I'd get all giddy when I SC with my automaton. lol
(3) {Dynamis - Windurst} O - did a run here with HellsBells DURING the SuperBowl... timing of that run sucked cuz I missed out on 2 parties (but I was exhausted from getting back a couple hours earlier from another Colorado ski trip anyways) but I'm glad I stayed home and went on the run... cuz I FINALLY got my clear! So, tomorrow's run is Sandy, but Sunday night we're doing Beaucidine. My first Icelands!
(4) Mog Locker expansion - expanded to 50 and then to 60. Yeah, I thought I fully expanded my locker when I initially opened it... apparently not. Another what... 18 days or something til it'll be at max-capacity.
(5) Finally got back to doing a little more leveling on my SAM and progressed up to 43. Also obtained my SAM AF weapon.
(6) {Genbu's Kabuto} O - cuz noone else really wanted it last night. lol
(7) Besides all of that, I did a bunch of random questing around Whitegate as well just to gain a little more ISP and Imperial Gold. /shrug Again, I've been bored lately; sky is becoming a lil too monotonous.

(6) {Genbu's Kabuto} O - cuz noone else really wanted it last night. lol
