Fortunately, before the spammers decided that I’d be a really good target for pharmaceutical emails, it was our Chains of Promathia night in FFXI. It started as a group of about 12 people and we’ve been meeting every Friday night for a few months now. Our numbers dwindled down, and we stabilized at 7. This, of course, meant we had to many things twice, as a lot of the fights are capped to 6 people per fight. But we all knew each other, so we weren’t cutthroat and cut anyone loose. We just had to make sure we were good enough to handle it.
And we did. Compared to what it sounds like other groups did, we had surprisingly little resistance working through the missions. Part of this was because we had some incredibly flexible job selections to work with, almost everyone in the group had at least 2, if not 3 or 4 jobs at 60+, and quite a few with multiple 75 jobs. Two weeks ago, we did the airship fight (6-4), one of the hardest fights, if not the hardest fight, and beat it on our third attempt. Then we did it again last week for the seventh member and only had one false start.
That meant that today was 7-4 and 7-5. 7-4 is just a bunch of random NMs that are uncapped (as is everything from this point, yay… no more using level 60 gear), then 7-5 is another “kill kill kill fast fast fast” fight. We died a few times, but switched a bunch of jobs around and managed to kill him… what’s that mean?
Welcome to (sea), a.k.a. Al’Taieu, a.k.a. the place that everyone wants to get to in the CoP missions.
Back row (L to R): Kahoko, Ikkei, Arzo, Taire. Front Row (L to R) Me, Protag, Lowone
(Of course, Protag and I look identical and are both BLMs in that shot… but he’s slightly shorter than me. ^^)
😀 Congrats on sea. Watch out for UFOs and sharkies.
I had the same exact problem for spam today. People sent off emails using my domain as a return and since I have a catch all I was getting a shit load of bounced messages before I turned off that address. 🙁
Was it a canadian online pharmacy selling an “erection pack”?
Awesomeness, congrats!
Now you just need to get a scorpion harness, and you will be cool.
hay what happened to the conversatron?
“So, web huh?”
They got tired of it, or something like that, and decided to let it die and stop paying for hosting.
Or I’m totally making stuff up, ’cause I’m so the wrong person to ask.
