Ah well, I suppose it is time to speak up. Before I begin, gratz on your success, nice to see folks do well.

Before you, before Chamille, before Kaell and before Pipkin, our shell had that time slot. didn't used to be an issue, was just us there at go time. It has been listed in Cat's sticky since the day she made it and right here in the wiki before that. How much has that meant to this point? How much respect have we as a pre-existing shell gotten? Nada, zilch, donut.

I do appreciate all of you younger shells trying to make your fun in this game. Just too many folks seem to be content to sit around whitegate and watch the grass grow. I support having fun in this game so "rok on wid yur badself"...it's good stuff.

Suba, I got but one beef with you and by association...your shell. While you target a 6 pm est [Start button], you can't hit it worth a hoot, ya never have. And you perpetually step on our 7pm start by jumping in a zone about 10-15 minutes before we port. It happened last night as we had also planned to run NW, it has happened before and I don't suspect it's going to change till you do something about it.

I've known Catwho for years. Her, Aya and Prav used to be in FifthElement HNMLS with us back before most HNMLS ever existed on this server. Heck, I run Dyna with her and the old gang for funsies. I know she is a part of your shell. And we all know she takes the time and effort to build and maintain the Limbus schedule sticky right here. To that point I just know she has a small heart attack every time you guys leave late and step on our zone. Please fix that.

Look, if you guys left when you say you are gonna leave and we got to a zone and hadda wait 15-20 minutes to enter... no big deal, a minor inconvenience and certainly understandable. But when you leave 45 minutes late that just put us at over an hour for a delay, and that doesn't work. Many of our folks have other events scheduled later as well as it being late for our EU members and that hour just doesn't exist to chop out of the day. So if there is any sort of a seniority rules system, it isn't working.

If you want a solution to xfiles who show a 6pmEST start, ya might wanna get out of a pot calling the kettle black thing and just start your run on time. We all would appreciate it. And if you can't, then you owe it to any other shell that you may be stepping on to coordinate and if needed, take a back seat. That is just common courtesy.

Now, to the point at hand, I always get a /tell from Chamile, we have worked together with only 1 or 2 little issues over the entire time their shell has been around. I consider our working relationship to be textbook and an acceptable one. I don't get any tells from any of the other new shells including yours. I did get a /tell from an xfiles member prior to the run asking which zone we were going to run and I told them we had planned to run NW tonight. However, it was a one-way street on the information super-highway as they never did reciprocate and advise which zone they were looking to run. In fact, as it turns out it would appear that it ended up being more of a " Hurry Hurry we gotta go " thing. LoL, little did I know why...

I think part of the problem is that folks make up a shell, post a schedule on their own bulletin board and expect that to be all they need to do to start running non-instanced events. I think it would serve everyone better for the new shells to at least look at the existing schedules plan accordingly and remove all of this drama by picking a run time that doesn't step on other shells.

This time slot has gotten way outta hand. There is no way that 8 LS's standing around in Port around 6:30 pm est are going to balance 10 areas and 2 bosses without constant friction, especially when double clearing.

When ya make your bed, ya sleep in it. And always remember that youthful exuberance is no match for the treacherous debauchery of experience:p

From my view, I think adjustments need to be made...but I could be wrong :p

We'll cya there :)

We've decided to take a step back from attempting to double clear for that reason, Shade. (Plus enforcing punctuality will help.) We're also going to aim for a titch earlier on Sundays, so we're not forced to wait on Wednesdays for soap.

We picked the 6PM slot because it worked with existing events, and it was the timeslot a lot of members used to have with Shogungummy Limbus (which disbanded some time ago.)

I apologize for our lateness Shade. We'll try to improve upon it.

First: I want to say that it is entirely logical to assume the non-paying customers of one company fully support and encourage the actions of any and all companies that may be in some ancillary way be owned by, or previously owned by, the same parent company. I see no fault in that logic.

Second: Seriously? 5+ Limbus shells running at the same time. Really guys? Really? Same day even? Is there some weird lock out on Limbus at ALL other times of the week? Do the golden gates of Limbus only open when the stars align on Sunday/Wednesday between the hours or 6-8pm EST? You want to have conflicting times don't you. If it were dynamis I could sort of understand because some of those zones take a long time and you want to start early.

That reminds me, Catwho, can you update your list for us?
Dark Requiem took over Delusion's limbus spot on Thursday and Sunday.
8:00PM CST is gather time for Thursday, and 8:30PM CST is gather time for Sunday.

I already said why we entered late.
It's over with, I'm done waiting on 2-3 individuals consistently.

And no, no other time slot really works for my shell due to Yamato events other days and misc. events with med school / work / other misc crap, so its about the only time i can manage it.

It'll be OK, I'm learning to be a better @#%^ :p

I guess maybe I should add this here since it's more likely to be seen on a new topic.

I recently had to take over leading my limbus group, thing is we don't really have a name, but we're a regular twice a week Apollyon only group that's been running for quite a while. No separate pearl or anything but I guess since most members are from my linkshell Epidemic you can go with that on the limbus schedule. Our runs are late, Monday at 10 PM EST and Thursday at 11 PM EST.

Rarely ever run into conflict, maybe twice the entire year. Nice little story, last night someone was soloing in the zone we wanted to do. When I sent a /t asking how long he would be he kindly offered to warp out of the zone for us and apologized about 10 times. I told him he could sit in the zone and lot the AF+1 he wanted if it dropped for us and he refused the offer and continued to apologize. Thought we were running out of people like that on this server.

But Shade, you guys HAVE had that time slot since . . . forever. x_x

This - and the similar issue with Dynamis - wouldn't be an issue if people didn't create new linkshells at the drop of the hat just so they could get their items faster. It dilutes the limited talent pool and causes these zone conflicts.

I'm probably preaching to the choir, though, as X-Files seems to be the obvious troublemaker here, and the two other linkshells participating in this discussion have had their feet in the water for ages.

In before "Well, this wouldn't be an issue if Dynamis and Limbus were instanced." Square-Enix's own shortcomings don't justify being a jerk. I'm sorry to disappoint you.
