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.

Raku-Kun — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:33:11 GMT

Went to a party. Was boring. Came back and RP'ed on CPM. Was epic.

Vampire costume ftw!

Mein Komputer ist tot

Reinbach — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 21:21:19 GMT

My motherboard crashed in a flurry of 5's and loud beeping noises. I'll be going through the process of patching my PS2, I guess.

Will see you all when I see you.

Otakon 2009

Shirotaru — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 06:15:39 GMT

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. Quality Inn Downtown 110 Saint Paul Street I know this is such short notice, but if you guys wanna meet up somewhere, just look for the ...

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 ...

FFXI Writing Contest

It was on the PoL site even though they aren't technically sponsoring it, I think? Either way, we happen to be writers and I'm sure none of us would mind loot.

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.

Wa da ta on the tippy tai, my damies. Sa da tay.

Leave of Absence

Verence — Tue, 12 May 2009 02:37:55 GMT

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.

Crystalline Prophecy announced furthered- Release date given

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. ...

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 ...

-Tries to sneak through the back door-

Raku-Kun — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 19:16:17 GMT

Although I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get caught and have stale dinner rolls thrown at me. Anyway, I'm guilty. I left CPM for a little bit to try and start my own rp ls. (Mainly because...the people I tried to get in were like "I've been in CPM before and I don't like it.) Well, those people ditched me as well. I wasn't going to be gone completely, just more or less balancing between this ls and mine. But unfortunately, the people I got in...pretty much just left me in the dark. So I decided ...

So-hooo time for some Shell name ideas

Xenedra — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 23:06:37 GMT

Being as our current shell holder is MIA and no one I've talked to so far seems opposed, I thought we could start thinking up names for a new shell.

One we kind of decided we liked earlier: Canta Crystallum (aka Song of the Crystal)

Think and post!

Roleplaying Resources section

Verence — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:25:15 GMT

You may have noticed a new section of the boards that Xenedra has graciously agreed to put up. I've already posted one article and intend to write more, but ideally I'd like it to be a community effort and not just one man's ramblings. If you have any ideas for revisions or additions, or simply want to comment on what's posted there then this is the place to discuss. Similarly, anyone who wishes to write and post articles there is encouraged to do so. At current, I have posted a brief bit ...

Officially saying farewell

Wendell — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 15:47:37 GMT

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. The few ...

The time has come at last...

Breese — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 11:36:07 GMT

Well by this point in time, any of you that ever knew me probably have no recollections of me, and any of you that do remember me have exceedingly good memories. I was and am Breese, everyones favorite Elvaan Monk! (lol yeah right.) Anyway, I played for several years, several years ago. I had to take an indefinate hiatus. It was thought to be permanent. I was actually in the original Canta Per Me, and the new one to. After almost 3 years though, I'm coming back in just a couple weeks! ...

Gone for Awhile

Ayvaen — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:08:08 GMT

Some stuff came up. I won't be around much if at all for a bit. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This is the way the world ends...

Ayvaen — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 17:11:35 GMT

Wanna make 100k? Fallout 3's release got me thinking: I love apocalyptic scenarios, especially the cleverly insightful ones which draw from the flaws of modern society as their inspiration. 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 ...

Ok, I know this first chapter won't bring much of an idea on whats going on, but I tend to do that sometimes. Anyways, once I get a few chapters going, I'd like to see how I can make it fit into FF-XI's storyline, and bring in a very old character. Excuse any grammar errors, etc etc, and enjoy. And please like the rules of stories, can we make a separate thread for comments? i Night time, winds blowing at gale force, lightning dancing violently through the sky with thunder exploding ...

Xenedra — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 06:02:14 GMT

Ok so. I've been told that some people are having issues with my availability and/or the amount of time I've been RPing. Here is my schedule, all times are in EST (Every other weekend I go out of town to see friends. -1 days are weekends I'm at home -2 are ones I am not. You'll probably have to just ask to know which I'm on, sorry. Also work times in italics are highly negotiable, I don't have to return to work both days to meet my hour quota.): Sunday-1: Dynamis: 12:30 - approximately 5:00; ...

Asking for your forgiveness (. . )

DarkValkyr — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 07:36:54 GMT

So yeah, tomorrow's the start of the fasting month of Ramadhan for me, and its usually customary to ask for forgiveness from people you've met before and after the season. I know there've been some real bad things I did throughout this whole month, and some smaller ones that I might not have known that could have offended any of you. The memory of that one big mishap I caused really unnerves me especially which I really want you to forgive me for, and especially times when my DCing and bad ...

DarkValkyr — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:55:57 GMT

I just read the article and went OMG. http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/2008_-_(08/25/2008)_New_Level_Sync_Feature_to_Change_the_Way_You_Party! This feature brings about interesting thoughts. Get any level 54 guy and party on Colibri again? That might be real good. Depends on your taste. Most importantly, more people with low level jobs can PT with anyone with this feature really...wonder if it means we'll get more invites? The fact that you don't have to change equipment will be a ...

Team Fortress 2/Steam?

Reinbach — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:27:36 GMT

Do any of you have a Steam account? My friends and I have caught the Team Fortress 2 bug, and I thought it would be cool to play with some of you in a game that isn't FFXI.

If you're on Steam, look me up, yo! I'm roflcopterdown.

Fake or not? You decide!

Raku-Kun — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 01:51:45 GMT

Do not watch if you're easily scared. (Even though it isn't that scary.) Apparently, this video is a fake. I can't really see how it is, asides from what appears to be a transition effect at 1:01. Also, how does a door with a knob open by itself, and a person pressing themselves against a glass in a flippin shelved closet only to disappear shortly after. If it is fake, its very well done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzZI16Z13dw

Getting the NQ bathing suit: First off, you'll lots of people cheering or clapping for Mumor while the stage show goes on. You can do this if you like, but we've found it's not at all necessary. CORRECTION! Mumor's dance moves get charged by cheering for her, so if there is a large crowd cheering, you don't necessarily have to, but if there is not, you must cheer! As the show goes on you'll see Mumor do Ultimate Dancing Attacks. There are four different dances she uses, all with a different ...

Square-Enix May 2008 Interview

DarkValkyr — Thu, 15 May 2008 04:29:37 GMT

There's not soo much in it, and it doesn't give super definitive answers, but I like some parts and answers SE gave us. Link Namely about the WoTG things to come. Would they actually make faeries available depending on what we do in the past, and if no one does it in the server there'd be lesser or no faeries in the present? I sense an NM Lycopodium that'd only spawn if no one kills more than xyz amount of Lycopodiums or something.

It's Psylight, skulking back into the CPM LS and Forums!

Sorry for vanishing a while back. I missed you all a great deal, so I wanted to come back, and now I did. isn't it great how things work out? Magical. I'm very much looking forward to RPing with you all, and just hanging out and chatting again.

New Forums

Ayvaen — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 04:05:35 GMT

Unfortunately our old forums finally expired. It was just a matter of time however, thankfully this time we got PHPBB 3.0, and it's much nicer.

The downside is of course that we lost a lot of unsaved information. It's gonna take some work to fix all of this and redo everything. I'm very sorry for the loss of information, hopefully we'll be able to get most important things reposted.

A few people have been asking why I haven't been around CPM recently, and I'm sorry for not explaining sooner. It's a bit unpleasant for me, but I hope I can clarify things here. Recently, I was desacked. I don't protest the fact that I was desacked. The way it was explained to me, I agree it's probably for the best. Heck, I've even requested to be desacked in the past, but was told to keep it. This isn't me being upset over losing my sack. I am extremely upset over the way it was done, ...

How to proceed?

DarkValkyr — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 04:57:07 GMT

Okay, since most of us are in the alt. timeline. What do we do about RPing the past WoTG missions?

I mean, I just saw an update news scheduled in june about the new missions being released, so I was wondering how to go about it.

We could let whoever's staying in the real timeline handle it, or something?

I dunno, just wanted to know.
