So we had Dynamis - Windurst last night. It was mostly ok except that people still aren’t doing their job and sleeping enough mobs in Dynamis. I don’t want to slam anyone, that’s just not my style, but when you are a Red Mage or even a Black Mage in Dynamis, you’re expected to help sleep at least one mob on large pulls. Windurst is full of these big pulls and when I have to sleep two mobs and bind one on every pull or four to six, someone just isn’t pulling their weight. It’s multiple people in fact. Blackhatchy got really upset, and rightfully so. I know if I were still Dynamis leader, I’d be telling people to simply drop hourglass and go home if they weren’t doing their job in my sponsored Dynamis.

Anyhow, I’ll be addressing that in the October Linkshell Update. For those that have no idea what that is, it’s kinda like a Square Enix update, but just for our own linkshell. We update rules by removing loopholes or modifying certain clauses to fit the progression of our linkshell. This month’s update promises to be a really major one, rivaling last month’s. We’ve also got Player Evaluations going in, which I only have bits and pieces drafted up. It’s not intended to be a “De-recruitment” though, but I think that that is how it will be perceived by the large majority of the members. It’s really supposed to focus on helping people improve in the areas they need it now, so that later we are better as a whole.

I am pretty bored atm. Siveth told me that he wanted a Joyeuse and this just so happens to be related to my most recent project/interest–soloing Charybdis. I am gonna give it a shot. I brought two pairs of Ice Trousers down to Sea Serpent Grotto with me as well, just in case I somehow find them useful. I think that I can squeeze some Paralyze effect in there somewhere! Asdrabael encouraged me to give this solo a shot. He wants to fraps it too so I can post it here. Personally I feel very confident about it, but I am unsure what to expect precisely. I am just gonna wing it. Chances are I’ll lose the first time, but next time around, I’ll nail it, just like I did with VV.

Wish me luck! I go into the darkness…
