So... yeah. YAY4DRAMA!
Dynamis - Beaucedine last night. Went absolutely fucking awesome, especially considering we only had 16 people. Something like 9 relic drops and Seilin (leader) said we were only like... 2 time stones away from the Mega Boss. Excitement.
Speaking of our oh-so-intelligent leader, after Dynamis I had plans to help Dia and Xeno with some Assaults (rather, make sure Xeno doesn't die while he solos Golden Salvage). So, right after we get out of Dyna, I warp out so I can go get my orders and etc. Now, apparently, this is bad. Especially considering I'm an officer. Seilin goes off saying that BLMs must stay around to give warp 2 to anyone who needs/wants it, and that being in a bad mood is not an excuse to just take off. Conduct unbecoming an officer, etc. Alright, no problem... wait. The text is red. My linkshell text is red.
No.
Nuh uh.
She just bitched at me in linkshell. Right after Dynamis. One which I led the BLMs to doing the ABSOLUTE BEST they've ever done (Good job, you guys... if you've stumbled on my blog.)
Haha. Didn't go over well. I think about the only person in the LS that doesn't know I think Seilin is an idiot is Seilin herself. This didn't help.
The following is a near word-for-word quote of what happened afterwards:
Me >> Um... <|Huh!?|>
Me >> <|Excuse me...|>
Me >> I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was a rule that BLMs need to stay around for D2. Well, whatever. GL with your Dyna shell, Seilin. And BTW, you're a fucking horrid leader.
You drop a pearlsack.
You drop a linkpearl (To their social).
Me in my social >> Tuesdays and Saturdays just freed up.
About... an hour(?) later, Maxion (co-leader and all-around awesome guy) says "Hey, Seilin said there's something on our site for you and Dia."
Apparently, Dia bitched her out too. :D
"For a side note, I wrongly chastized officer Yondaimesama in the LS, and would like to take this opportunity to just as publicly show an official apology for my uncalled for behavior. This is not to 'win' anyone back to the shell, but to redeem my reputation and show that I will admit when I am wrong. Thank you Yon for being a leader among the BLMs, whether you stay or not, we have appreciated you in the Shell."
Bitch realised she fucked up bad. So, I sent her a PM accepting the apology and told her if she wants me back in the shell, to have one of the other officers talk to me about it.
Anyways, other than that~~
DING! SCH60 and full Scholar's Attire :D That AF quest is by far the best one I've seen, of the 4 I've done. Doesn't help the main antagonist is my same model, and a complete douchebag ^_^b It was fun beating his ass to a bloody, mangled pulp. Pretty sure Xeno's Garuda felt the same way.

... Yay Dyna
Dynamis - Beaucedine last night... well, would have been if we had more than 16 people show up for it. Ended up moving to Sandy, since no one was in - imagine this; people showed up after that! We ended up having about 24 people for Sandy, not too bad. I don't know why, but we always seem to wipe at Wyrmgnasher Bjakdek (first NM) no matter who we have pulling, just way too many links. We tried something new, time-nuking the outside statues, went fine, but there are still way too many mobs that come out as a result. Skipped him, cleared out choco stables then started sacpulling the NMs. Bjakdek went down like a bad date on prom night, then we pulled Reapertongue Gadgquok, the SMN NM. JOY, Hi2u Astral Flow rape! Now, if you don't play Dynamis, or haven't done Sandy this is where I'd tell you that you never have people melee the 3 major NMs in Sandy. Charmga tends to have lots and lots of fun with people who do that. We said DO NOT MELEE THE NMS before we pulled Bjakdek all 3 or 4 times we did - no one did. Incoming big-ass SMN Orc, BLMs are ready to sleep the avatar(t?)... Melees: Pulling out weapons.
What?
The following is the conversation that happened over Skype, between my sister (MNK) and myself (BLM):
Me: WHY ARE YOU ALL MELEEING GADGQUOK!?
Sister: You never said don't melee him, just Bjakdek.
Me: No... we (the officers, I'm unofficially an officer in the LS) said don't melee the NMs. All 3 of them.
Sister: No, you said don't melee Bjakdek!
This is where Charmga goes off.
Me to BLMs: Incoming horde of melees and NM; Sleep em if you can.
Sleep lands on a lot, but one of them is running around with Gadgquok still. Maxion. Our main tank and co-leader of the shell. He's screaming at the top of his lungs in party and LS chat, "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SLEEP ME!" so he doesn't run back with the NM to the respawn point. By this time, the BLM group was all dead, there was one lone RDM still alive, with all the melees still napping. Said RDM sleeps Max, melees all wake up after they uncharm, they all sit there and die. All except my sister.
Now, for some odd reason, the NM doesn't go after her, allowing her to contemplate exactly what to do. She decides to go wake up the sleeping, charmed PLD. Now, if you've never been charmed before, I should explain that charmed players are able to be targeted as mobs, but don't follow hate rules. At all. You could weaponskill them and they'd still go after whoever the fuck looked the best to eat at the time. Sister decides to wake up Maxion, saying it'd be better for her to tank the PLD (MNK tanking a PLD.....????) compared to the RDM that slept him.
WTF. Just let him sleep, decharm (eventually) and be a good little girl and DIE, instead of prolonging the inevitable. Never mind that charmed people don't pay attention to hate. So she wakes him up after he was screaming to sleep him. Common sense would usually dictate that you don't want to wake up people who want to be slept. Especially in Dynamis. Insert FULL wipe here, where the RDM, Maxion and Dia (sister) could have stayed alive.
NM wanders back to spawn, people start RRing... and I start bitching at her for making the intelligent decisions to:
#1: Melee an NM in Sandy. This is not her first Sandy run. Every time, I've told her to not melee the NMs. Every other time (but one) she's not melee'd the NMs. \o/
#2: Wake charmed sleeping people.
Now, I admit, it was a little over the top screaming at her, but in my defense, she was trying to defend her actions. I see where lag may have played a role in not seeing Max getting slept, but come on... hitting charmed people is fun in Besieged and all, but Dynamis has an overall goal, and a lot fewer people to achieve that goal. Tanking a charmed person just doesn't happen, they'll just go after whatever seems shiniest to them at the time. I'm just speechless at this point. D:

>_>
OK so... Finally back on the path to finishing CoP... or at least till I get stuck on 3-5 for a year. Last time I had a push to do any CoP missions, I got Promies and the Minotaur fight done in less than a week, 3/3 on Promies and 1/3 on Minotaur groups. Just got a feather up my ass and tried 2-5 again (Goddamn Mammets). Well. After going 0/4, I ended up beating them with a few LSmates :D 1/5 on CoP 2-5. Now onto bigger, and more pain-in-the-ass missions! Like Diabolos. And the GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING MOUNTAIN, which I cleared yesterday just before I did a Hagun ENM run with Dia, Xeno, Saturn and Magified ^_^b Got shit-all for drops, but it's a fun ENM nonetheless.
CS's so far have been pretty cool, actually. Prishe is funny, she tries so hard to be a tough-ass or something, and the Chebukki's are just annoying as hell with their daddy problems. All I have to do now is beat a Morbol NM and I'll be on "Darkness Named" AKA Diabolos. Joy. Then I'll be just about halfway to Sea. Well, as far as numbered missions go. 5-3 notwithstanding, of course.

So yeah...
Whoever decided to write on FFXIClopedia that ZMs aren't repeatable is a fucking moron and should be shot in the face. Last night my sister got on (/gasp, for those of you who know her), and decided.... Hey, I want Sky. She was on ZM6, we had *just* finished her headstone run and I looked on the wiki to see if the BC fights were repeatable. Wiki said no, I said WTF and we went to try entering the ZM6 BC anyways. So, in we went as BLM75 and MNK75, I got in and we rejoiced. We then recruited one of our Dynamis shell's officers to come and tank for us and couldn't get anyone else, so we figured why not try? Yeah. Ants got raped. Dia 2houred the PLD, beat its face in till it used Invincible. I did what I do best, then :D Tornado II - 1.5k damage. ^_^b Dead PLD, then BLM and RNG fell shortly after. 3manned ZM6, nearly broke the record. Insert ZM7 CS right after, then on to ZM8 and the absolutely, pathetically easy fight. (SPOILARZ warning) Kamla'naut is fucking pathetic. Setup we got for this was SMN (Xeno), RDM (Maxion), MNK (Chille), MNK again (Dia) and me (BLM). 10k HP goes down awful quick when you've got a SMN tossing out 1.5k PClaws, a MNK 2houring and a BLM tossing nukes. Broke the record again.
Insert long CS run here, then ZM12. The pot. 6 people, 2 of which actually needed it to die...
SMN, BLM, MNK, THF, RDM, DRK. Guillotine + Asuran Fists + Dancing Edge + nukes + Crimson Howl/Flaming Crush. Absolutely thrashed the pot. Congratulations to Dia and Vonaboonabo on Sky :D
Now, if she'd only get on more to get the gear ;)

Small Update...
OK, so had a really weird party on SCH just now... IT+ Mandies giving 50 EXP each in a full party. Yeah. GM'd it, waited an hour for the GM to show up, he had us unsync, resync and kill and it was all better >_>. But, ding SCH26 and I think it's gonna be my next meritho job. I love the flexibility, and it's not nearly as OP as I thought it was when it first came out. Still is OP if you've got the right person playing it, but the limitations are well-thought out.
Anyways, other than that, yay 1.4Mil... well on my way to a Hagun, though I think that's going more towards crafting atm. 32 Woodworking and planning (hoping) on 100+3, and YAY got my first piece of BLM relic too. Sorcerer's Tonban, so my day-matched nukes are ever-so-slightly more powerful.
Two of my oldest FFXI friends also transferred from Shiva server, Reho and Saturn, both awesome people though they both brag a bit too much for some people (poke, poke Xeno.)
Anyways, they're... loaded, and coming from a server with a fucked economy like Shiva, to Asura where stuff is about... 10x cheaper? Yeah. They're thinking ZOMG we have so much gil now LOL.
Anyways. Nothing else, pretty small update. Happy 4th of July to anyone who's stumbled upon my blog ^_^
