FFXI Prayer

Found this while wandering the alla forums:

From AbbadonX's sig,

Square-Enix which art in Tokyo, hallowed be thy game.
Thy expansion come. Thy patches be done, in NA/EU, as it is in Japan.
Give us this day our daily merits.
And forgive us our undercuts, as we forgive those who undercut us.
And lead us not into elitism, but deliver us from n00bs.
For thine is the MMORPG, and the addiction, and the timesink, for ever and ever.
Loldrk.

A damned fine do-nothing night.

Five hours of MH broken up by a bit of Beseiged^^ 500 exp and I never left town lol.

Finaly got Vorpal Blade last night when I logged on, the day before being stuck at 199 sword skill for nearly two hours had me feeling a bit down. Ran back out of W. Aht. and grabbed "one last" lesser col. and got my points in under a minute. Ran back in and changed to rdm to go whack something with my sexy new ws and discovered my sword was capped at 199 doh!

Tried to organize my cluttered mh and carry on tell conversations for a while and gave up the cleaning after bit to go to beseiged with shani and mrfrodo. We were joined by rew, phan and skibum and beat the Lam intruders to a pulp /hurray warp taru lives!

Had a nice long chat with ski afterwards. Its not often I get into a conversation of decent length in the game anymore unless its a ten round verbal boxing match. I tend to get excited when I have someone to listen so I think I may have ran on and on more than is socialy acceptable. Ski was a bit shocked that I not had not only read his LJ but knew the addy off the top of my head.

I never did finish cleaning my MH.

Woot skill ups!

Woot skill ups!

Since I've been pretty fucking moody lately I decided to strike out on my own and skill up a bit in Kuftal Tunnel near the Cape zone.
Went as nin/rdm hoping to up my pathetic 128 sword skill and 120 dagger a little before I died of boredom. Armed with left over food, AF gear, my secksie O.Hat and some cheap ass weapons I made my way to the "Crab Shack" I was of course anon as my rather embarrasing gear set was well.. embarrasing and wanted nobody to laugh at my level+gear. I ran a few hours the first day happy to get semi-regular skill up, made it to 135 on both and logged for the night.
The next day a.k.a. last night I logged back in at the Crab Shack and started back in on the slaughter, around 148 sword and dagger my friend King popped on the "Tellphone" asking what I was up to and said he wanted to join to clear up some points on his GS as a DRK.
I had just started a fresh kill and told him as soon as it died I would head home and switch to war sub to "tank" when wham Dagger 150 Xylos learns Energy Steal.
Whats this I say, so I switch to dagger main and see that it steals mp! O.o an unstoppable nin/rdm ^^
Anyhow I hit bastok switch to /war and op back. King arrives soon and we get to killing. We cant find a decent SC with my low sword skill and his GS so we just shove lvl1 crap sc's down the crabs throats for a while. King gets a tell from a random WAR asking to join because he wants to up his ranged and dagger, hells yeah 3's a party.
A few hours of bullshitting and crab crack'n later I learned Spirits Within, the war got energysteal and slug shot I think and best of all king got his trial weapon unlock just as we are about to call it quits ^^. All in all one of the best nights playing in a long time.

Static Shocked

Fuck the static.
Still no exp, still no discussion, still a mountain of gear sitting in MH waiting to be worn.
It had potential to be sure, good set up, agreeable times etc.. Set up remains but the times went to hell nobody will show up at a set time, even after agreeing to or actualy setting up a time themselves. Have to let them know I need out, I'll offer up my whm as a sacrifice to them when they hit 63.
So I went off to pt again after sitting for a week or two or three 2k tnl. I was the worst rdm ever. No clue what the hell happened, I like to think bad dynamics through out the pt. Nice set up and all just everyone but the mnk and pld decided to do w/e the hell they wanted. SMN switched from DD to main heal to buff/support heal to nuker at random, not as needed but completely random. DRK and BLU either blew through the mp in one battle or didnt touch it for extended periods completely screwing my refresh/haste order. Nobody complained but I felt like shit afterwards.

Oh well 15k till Marine Male Gloves those and my Ocean Rope will make for a sexy rdm indeed when I get to wear my Enfeebling Torque in 4 lvls.
