If I'm on, not in the middle of some other mission/quest or about to log off for the night, I'd be glad to help! I have BST, RDM and (sort of) NIN that I could bring on this fight. I say "sort of" NIN, because I don't really have a whole lot in the way of tanking gear, and my Warrior sub is sadly lacking (still only 17). But if you want me, I'm there!

I was pretty close on Rey's name, at least

My thoughts are, if you're going to indulge, do it right and get it out of your system

Whenever I've had fat-free or low fat snacks, they always make me want the real thing even more. And then, I eventually get the real thing anyway, which makes getting the fat-free stuff kinda pointless 

Just for fun, I've decided to start writing some short stories based in/around Vana'diel. Starring, of course, myself (write your own darned stories if you want to be the star!). These stories are going to go back to my newbie days as a new adventurer in Windurst, and aren't going to be based on my real (play) history.

Anyway, I'd like to include Lucky linkshell and some of the people in it. To do that, I'd need to take some license with your character and names, which I won't do unless I get your permission.

If you want to see your name/character in a story, please reply here and let me know! I won't use any names without your ok, so don't worry. I'd also like to get a short character bio from you, to make things a little more accurate. Get as in-depth as you like, with personality quirks, style of speach (are you a taru who rhymes? Arre you a Mithrra who rrrols her "rrrr'''s? that kind of thing) favorite foods, hobbies, whatever you might like to see in the story! I may not use it all, and I may not use your character right away, but I'd try to run whatever I put in the story past you before "publishing" it (actually, just posting it here).

Since I'm going "back in time" and doing an alternate history, these stories won't have any real bearing on what's going on in-game at this time. So, tell me what job you'd like me to write you as, since that's where you're starting out

Well, now we know why we had 10 hours of maintenance yesterday

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/polnews/news9757.shtml

p.s. I guessed right! Go, me!

I can't make it Friday! You guys always try to do this at weird times! That's it, I'm out of the static!

Just kidding, great job last night everyone! I'm seriously falling asleep at work, but it is totally worth it to have that done

That AoE unremovable silence at the end (that I got hit with TWICE!) had me really, really worried, though. So, since I couldn't cast, I spent the time using a Hi-Ether and re-applying my reraise, just in case we wiped  . Glad it wasn't needed! I was all ready to run in and start poking him with my sword, but Selan's EES saved the day! (Good job, Boss!)

Anyway, I'll be finishing up the mission on Thursday. If anyone wants to come along (no fights involved) I'd be glad of the company

That time works for me. Hopefully it works for everyone else, too ^^;

It's not a problem, Bakum. At least we got all the running around out of the way, so we just have the fight

This maintenance is going to cause some problems with our Tuesday schedule. Should we reschedule for another day, or still try it? I'm concerned because, on update days, some folks might not be able to make it in for whatever reason. I'll be on as soon as I'm done updating, but if we can't go that night, I'm not going to be upset.

So, I guess the question is, do we want to try and do this Saturday instead, or do we stick to Friday night, and try to finish CoP on Saturday?

With Aria's and Bakum's schedules on Saturday as posted, we have between 11:00 (or 12, depending on when Bakum gets on) until 1:00 (1-2 hours, probably won't work), and 3:30 and 7:00 (3.5 hours) on Saturday when we could do this.

I vote, if everyone can go Friday night, lets try to finish 8-2 Friday, and the rest of CoP (or, as much as we can finish) on Saturday, starting at 3:30. How does everyone else feel?

I was pretty close on Aria's name too. I was saying it "A-ree-ah-moh"
So, I didn't butcher it too badly, I guess ^^;

Ketsuki, je me suis juste rappel

hiya, Sesal

I think the major problem is, 9pm PST is 11PM for me. That's usually ok if it's a short (20-30 minute) mission, but... if this takes 2+ hours, then the earliest I'd be getting to bed is 1 am. Probably a lot later, since we usually get started a little late, and we'll be feeling our way around. So, starting that late Monday through Thursday is out for me, sorry  .

Friday would be ok, since I can stay up as late as I need to in order to finish a mission. I can almost always do weekends, as long as I know at least a few days ahead of time.

Straight to Video? I saw that the other day, freaky but fun

Probably old news for everyone, but I've been getting a kick out of this:

Found it while looking for the MSI video directed by Jhonen V. 

Je suis un "baka gaijin!"

Wait... we were doing French in a different thread.... sorry ; ;

So many names I've been saying wrong... the only one I got right is Enna!

Actually, I thought Ketsuki was "ket-soo-ki". Selan I've been saying as "sey-lahn"  and Bakum I've been saying as "Back-um", which is at least close

Isn't learning fun? 

Well, I've got a few minutes left before I leave work to catch the bus, so here's a post to waste some time.
After seeing people call me "gorrila" in linkshell chat, and hearing my name brutally massacred in Vent (Selan: Q_Q), it occurred to me: "ZOMGAH! People are mis-pronouncing my name!!!?!"

Now, this isn't something that bugs me at all (I'm too laid back for it to bother me) but I thought I'd just mention how I pronounce my name since I'm doing a time-wasting post anyway, and kill 2 colibri with one charm... or something like that... 

Anyway, the way I pronounce "Zerila" is with the first two syllables really fast, so that it almost sounds like "ZREE-lah". ZEH-ree is how I pronounce my nickname, Zeri.

If you get this wrong in Vent, it's not like I'm going to get annoyed or anything

Now that I've cleared that up... how do you pronounce your character name? Like, Areya, I know your name isn't "area", and I've been pronouncing it "ah-REY-ah", but is that how you want it?

Thanks to Gemineye, and lots of other people who helped us along the way! I wish I could remember everyone who joined us to help get us past a fight or two, but I know Ketsuki came out once, Sheilah (Ryu) tanked on the airship fight, and there are probably tons of other people I can't remember because I have a lousy memory ^^;

It's kinda freaky there. Stuff coming up from underground, those gigantic "goldfish" that act like they're aggroing you but just follow you around... heh, it's really cool! I just wish there was stuff there I could charm as a BST. It might be kind of a fun place to merit ^^;

And music from "Some Guys From Space" (mst3k reference )

By the way... is there a noticeable difference in the amount that I post since I noticed I can reach the website from work?
