Hello my Old Linkshell mates.

Unikatze — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 05:29:23 GMT

Hello everyone.
I hope someone still reads this as it seems pretty innactive.
I just felt like I missed you guys and wanted to stop by and say hi to whoever is still active and remembers me.

So uummm. HI!

Hope you're all doing well.

Halloween.

Prelude to entrapment

Xenedra — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:28:27 GMT

For the past two weeks Bianqa had been hammering at Rabican consistently with the ridiculous proposition of marriage. The continuous onslaught had been old within the first five minutes, but two weeks of it� He assumed that to most people watching him awkwardly and angrily deal with the seventeen year old, he seemed without a drop of patience, but the fact was that he�d been mercilessly sucked dry of that virtue a week ago. And suddenly she let up. She�d dropped by that afternoon with ...

So. Yeah. I'm still not back, though that's another long story that involves my new house being repossessed by the state, and my cheating landlord being wanted by state police for assault with a deadly weapon. MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH: Most of my money has been dumped into going to Otakon, and I really do hope that I'll see you guys there.

Yay for Virut!

DarkValkyr — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 09:25:48 GMT

If no one's familiar with that name, for the past week my PC's been attacked by the notorious Virut, and it's latest strain, Virtu. Damn painful, I had it for only 1 day and had no idea why AVG wasn't able to clean it, so I ended up PTing with my friend for the rest of the day. In the meantime, it infected well over 50000 .exe's in my PC as well as countless other trojans have entered via a backdoor. Found out LogonUI wouldn't work the next day, could barely enter the PC somehow. Got Kaspersky ...

Jumping on that moving bandwagon

Reinbach — Fri, 29 May 2009 16:03:07 GMT

So I'm moving, too.

Remember that house I've been talking about buying for about nine months now? Well, the stars have aligned and ~~Great Cthulhu has risen~~ I was able to finally settle. Now I'm in the process of moving. Internet gets hooked up on June 2nd, but I probably won't be on at all until much later in the month. I've got an insane amount of moving to do.

Leave of Absence

Most of you already know, but Muir and I are going to be gone for about a week starting Wednesday. It's on the internets now though so it's official!

Moved - Gonna be a bit.

Shirotaru — Wed, 20 May 2009 22:23:10 GMT

So. I had to unexpectedly move at the end of April due to my apartment becoming unlivable via landlord negligence. As it stands, I've got limited internet and funds for a bit at my new house and time is short with school, but I expect to chill with you guys again in the upcoming week or two. Probably gonna wait until the start of the new month to save money. Until then... <3.

ACP Mission 11

Sabriel — Mon, 04 May 2009 18:58:59 GMT

So I pretty much zerged this to victory over the weekend. I've made a few important discoveries that make this a much easier win than people think. Job needs are not nearly as draconic as assumed. - Instead of the tank running to the side of the arena, he/she needs to run straight back up the stairs where the rest of the party is parked. This allowed me to dodge 90% of the AOE, including seed of nihility and judgement. The only times I was hit doing this was when I was drawn in right ...

ACP Monday

Verence — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 01:13:30 GMT

Just did the Delkfutt's climb with Muir to get her ready for the final BC ahead of time - There is absolutely 0 plot. None whatsoever. The CS at Hall of the Gods is pretty short too and easily reviewed at the goblin footprint. Anyone who wants to work ahead to avoid being capped come RP time is welcome to do so, but we'll still be doing the climb before the fight.

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

Reinbach — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 04:46:12 GMT

You drink too much. This was the first coherent thought of the morning as Reinbach stirred awake in the lower Jeuno chocobo stable where he had spent the night. His head seemed to be in a barrel of needles, the pressure of thousands of pinpricks pushing down on his head. He opened his eyes and the world was just a little too damn bright. He closed his eyes again and cursed the sun. A chocobo keened beside him, not happy to be sharing its stable with a stranger but unable to make it go away. Not ...

Crystalline Prophecy

Verence — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 01:14:13 GMT

I'm told this is pretty short, 14 missions that can be done in 6-8 hours with a decent group. Also, due to the nature of the BCs, anyone can enter at any time to help with the fight, even if they don't have the expansion installed. This makes things much easier from an organizational standpoint, especially since catch-up is made easier. That being said, this is potentially kickass RP and looks like a lot of fun. I know several have expressed interest, so let's see if we can work out times ...

Grr....they keep us on our paws and have our claws sheathed but it's been more than 3 months. This is getting ridiculous. "It'll come one day. Knowing Marth, it'll probably come when we least expect it." What do you think of all ...

Quietly into the Night

Shirotaru — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 07:53:24 GMT

Jeuno Darksday The skies of Vana'diel uncharacteristically clear in open defiance of the day's namesake, the hustle and bustle of Lower Jeunoian commerce pulsing as it did week after week. Traders hawked their various wares while many hands clamored over auction counters, and scores of crates flooded from the airship docks. A peach-colored tail flicked idly in the morning air, sharpened eyes catching a glimpse of a sparkle atop a hand cart packed with mail; a small blue sphere glistening ...

DarkValkyr — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 13:03:58 GMT

Seems we'll be able to buy march 22nd/23rd. Check out SE's site for screenies. The big feature currently announced is customizable and fashionable armor -- 3 are given thus far, and the descriptions mention 3, so maybe that's it until SE decides to give us more. They say that the armor has 20 possible additions to it, and you're able to choose 2 from the list. The armor looks very awesome as well; especially the first one. 2 of them are San d'Orian in design, and the last is near eastern. ...

Or: What Verence and I came up with. We were discussing a while ago how we were going to handle the possible problem of characters trying to recreate the Alternate Timeline while travelling to the past. After a bit of discussion, Verence and I were able to finalize a �solution� to this that we think makes a good amount of sense. Upon restoration of the Original Timeline, the timeline of events leading from the Original Timeline to the Alternate Timeline was shattered. The resulting ...

Character Tropes!

Reinbach — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 04:30:15 GMT

I've found the greatest website recently. It's called TV Tropes. It's a wiki that catalogs all of the different storytelling and characterization elements used in media today. Tropes aren't really cliches, because they're not always bad. They're just there. I thought it would be a cool idea to start up a thread dedicated to discussing our characters in terms of tropes. It's a great way of evaluating your character and seeing what elements work for them, what they can use, and what to avoid. It ...

I�ve also wasted a lot of time and missed a lot of opportunities both by action and inaction.

I realize that no ...

Getting Involved

Verence — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 01:49:08 GMT

There�s no one way to get yourself involved in role playing, especially since each character is unique. Sometimes you have to work to get your character engaged in what�s going on despite their tendencies, while other times they�ll naturally fall in line with what�s happening. Don�t rely on the latter happening, then be disappointed if it doesn�t! It can help immensely to set up points of interest and launch pads for interaction and plotlines beforehand. This is where character hooks come in. Character ...

Character Creation

Verence — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:18:52 GMT

Creating a character is the first step and core of all forays into roleplaying. They are your viewpoint and your vehicle for everything you do. The task of, in effect, creating a complete imaginary person can be daunting at first, but many find that their character completes themselves. Once a concept and skeleton history is laid out, often ideas solidify and details fall into place as you roleplay. The first step is a concept.

WotG RP: How to handle the past?

Verence — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 12:16:18 GMT

With people RPing again, questions are bound to pop up. One big one is, "We screwed up the past once, what's stopping us from doing it again?" Obviously we need some mechanism that will both prevent another catastrophe, yet allow for any possible WotG mission plot changes to kick in. Ayvaen and I were discussing possibilities before he went on hiatus, but we never reached a 100% solid set-in-stone conclusion. However, one notable theory did spring out of our discussions, which I now ...

Well everyone, I've been out of the game for quite some time but I kept telling myself I was only taking a break and I would eventually come back. After I hit the 75 mark and completed some missions I took a "break". Levelling and other high level content didn't really appeal to me. Honestly, the only thing I was really looking forward to coming back for was the role playing and it was for that reason that I kept telling myself I'd eventually come back to the game full time.

It was a normal day in Jugner. The sky was clear of any clouds, with a breeze gently blowing through the treetops. Birds chirping their songs, and in some parts of the forest you could hear the river flowing. Rakuyu was casually strolling along, listening to the sounds to relax his nerves. The small scuffle in La' Theine wasn't something that happened everyday. But at least the Taru was contained. In all of his days of his life, he never thought he would see a Taru acting like a tiger, and casting ...

I'm going to hold a very simple contest: come up with and shortly detail an end of modern society scenario (there can be survivors, or not), and the person who comes up with the best (in my opinion) will win 100k gil. It can be humorous, it can be serious, but it comes off as too preachy (i.e. cliche ...

They had plundered a ship carrying military payroll earlier that day and the captain doubled the crew's daily ration of rolanberry to celebrate. Reinbach sank his face into his cup and wondered whether or not he'd see any of that money. The longer you stay at sea, the more likely you are to get caught. Reinbach was fairly new to this brand of crime, but even he knew that. Since he was not the captain, he couldn't order the ship to Norg to offload this haul, or to one of the many Lamia-infested ...

I worked up a basic chord progression and scratched it out on my mandolin and recorded it. This is the basic, bare bones part of the song. I intend to work out a beat in Abelton, have the chords played in guitar, a mandolin lead, and hopefully get someone else to sing it with a small vocaloid backup part. I never write songs with the intent to sing ...

The following is the personal account of an adventuring paladin of the post-Crystal War era during the age of Vana'diel. This book was found in the ruins of Windurst's residential area, in what appears to be a mog house. There are no other historical records of Wat the Bunnyslayer, though there is much speculation on who he may have been. Regardless of his origin, the account in this document is a rare look into the life of the adventurers who used their swords and sorcery to battle dragons and ...

They were one of the lucky survivors to the beast that has been said to be stalking La Theine to Batallia for any passerby; bodies were often found mangled and crippled. They had said their troupe had lost their two other members during their travel to the beast, after inflicting several wounds on the lightning fast monster. They ...

The feeling of having someone understand is a strong thing. It often makes a difference between one's life or death. For a certain Tiger, it was all that mattered. Life begun as joy. It declined. It occured that it was about to fall down to nothing. Something sparked then. Life had begun again. Why so? Because someone had understood. It has happened again just now. Light of life rekindled, like a mother would lick its cub to keep it warm upon birth. Because he was simply just ...

He returned then, to his old den. Where it used to be. It was no longer occupied. He lived there alone. No one from his family was there. None of his denmates, his brothers or sisters. No cubs and no mothers. He whimpered, ears drooped. He slept inside, hoping to drink in a bit of the scent of his past. No one was there. Not even the faintest scent of the life he lived, when he was born, by his mother. He looked outside to the stars. The glittered. Not even the stars seemed to send him any messages. ...
