Moblin Maze Monday Reloaded:
Yes, I’m raising this event up from the ashes, and we will be flying head-on into the event once again! The restarting date has been decided and new help has been given!

The following Changes have been made to the MMM event:

- High-end Runs: Ravencroft has requested some High-end runs for MMMs. Basically during his runs and others who request the service, can choose a Level-Sync of 50+. This will help decide speed and ease while doing the event. We must take in consideration however, that this system CAN NOT interfere with the ordering. So if there is someone in the event within the Maze Party with his/her highest level less-than 50, then we will have to pass on the High-End Run. A new system will be decided to accommodate this problem which is bound to occur. Details on this system will be developed and posted up on the main site when it is ready.

- Management Placements: After we lost our 2nd MM Manager, I’ve been in dire need of a new one. I am happy to say that we have a volunteer as my Assistant in MMMs. The following people are now MMM Managers and Moderators
1. Segan – MM Manager
2. Cressidia – MM Manager (New)
3. Katama/Katamatoo – MM Moderator
4. Danta – MM Moderator

I will be giving information to Cress, Katama/Katamatoo, and Danta about run info and times. If you have any questions regarding the event these 3 will know most of the info for the event. Tamtu isn’t listed as a Moderator, but he is also notified as often as possible on the event.

- Allowed Maze Runes, Maze Tabula and Maze Vouchers: Maze Voucher #6…IS NEVER TO BE MENTIONED! The mere thought of this voucher will induce great pain and discomfort. On a more serious note, All vouchers are allowed. The most common Maze Vouchers are #1 through #3, and all three Maze Tabula are allowed (including copied ones from other players). Maze Vouchers #4, #5, and #7 are also allowed, but because they are not “normal” mazes, we need a heads-up in advanced to make sure we don’t stumble into one and go, “Oh crap…” The new Maze Voucher #8 is allowed as well. The only one you need permission for is Maze Voucher #6. This is a Level 75 survival voucher. You DO lose EXP during all of the battle-type vouchers, so in the case of Maze Voucher #6, be sure to check and see if everyone has a good enough Buffer so there are no Down-Levels. (Anyone who levels during the event is disqualified for the buffer check because of the recency in level).
In regard of Maze Runes, there are no restrictions. Notification of the chosen Runes you have for your Maze Set-up is allowed and can be helpful. Be warned though, that there is NO penalty for those who decide to be evil and not notify anyone.

- Open admission: Anyone is allowed to enter the Moblin Maze Monger Monday Event! From level 10 to Level 75, any rank, and any Nation. All you need, is the Wings of the Goddess Expansion and a Level 10 to 75 job and you’re in! Any of the 20 available jobs are allowed as well. This invitation is NOT limited to just Hyozan, but is extended to the ChocoboKnights LS as well.

Moblin Maze Reminders:

- Please remember that attendance is no longer an issue. If you don’t show up, no sweat, if you show up late, come on in! I don’t care and they don’t care. I DO care if you have fun and make friends, Get some decent EXP and some MM Marbles because that is one of its purposes/side-effects. To give me an idea of how many people will be there, please post your attendance in the current/given MMM thread, by either going to the following link: Moblin Maze Schedule and Guidelines or by going to the forums yourself and go to {Events > Moblin Maze Mondays} and you should find the most recent post at the top of the forum section, with the next run date.

- We will still meet once a week on Monday around 6:00-7:00PM Easter Standard, and it will last until 12:00AM-1:00AM Easter Standard. You can join in at ANY time within this area. I found that during its first series of runs, some Hyozan members thought that because they weren’t there for the start they’re not welcome and ultimately missed MMMs. This isn’t true. I urge EVERYONE at ANYTIME during the event to hop on in! We do have a limit of people for the Alliance of 18 people, but we never got an issue with having too many people and we never got a full alliance. If we end up getting way too many people, I will make a Linkshell called MoblinMazeMonday and give everyone who wants a pearl, a pearl! But until that times arrives, 18 people is the current “Party” limit. That doesn’t mean you cant hang out and wait for a slot in the Rotation System.

- We are still doing the Rotation System. Information on this system can be found at the following link: Moblin Maze Schedule and Guidelines. We’re also still doing Event Start Rolling, and see who gets to go first. Highest number goes first, unless someone gets either a “1″ or a “2″.

Final Notes:

Get there, Have Fun, Level up, get gear, get pumped, and above all, WIN SOME MARBLES!

Because I don’t remember 90% of what happened that evening, allow me to just give credit and the runes numbers to those who participated.

1. Luca
2. Silentlucidity
3. Segan
4. Cressidia
5. Tella
6. Belladiel
7. Sigmund
8. Zegg
9. Danta
10. Eruainur
11. Ravencroft
12. Zetra

There are no runes recorded from Luca down to Bella. However Sigmund obtained Maze Rune #017 and Ravencroft obtained Maze Rune #040. Other than those two, we left empty handed.

Danta was the only one recorded as a drop. He never did his run, but did a lot before he left.

Again I am sorry for the lateness of this post. Three Week late is not what I wanted this to be.

Farewell for Now~

~Segan

1. Katamatoo
2. Segan
3. Freaky
4. Katsukora
5. Eruainur
6. Tella
7. Bella
8. Sigmund
9. Granas
10. Cressidia
11. Ravencroft
12. Danta

No runes dropped really. My run dropped 3 runes. Maze Rune 052, Maze Rune 087 and Maze Rune 053. That last rune was in my Special Coffer, but due to my inventory being filled to burst, I was unable to get it and seeing as I already had Monk, I was unable to stow it away.

As for problems during the event, only one can be noted. Eru’s run ended with a wipe. Nothing else really went wrong. Don’t worry Eru, next time will be better!

Continuing on to Drop outs, we move over to Granas. After a mysterious disappearance after Bella’s run, we didn’t hear a word from him from the rest of the night. As for Add-ins, after Bella joined up at the Lower Jeuno Chocobo Stables during Katama’s run, Sigmund and Granas showed up to join us. A little while after 8:00PM EST, Cressidia logged on and joined us followed by Ravencroft and Danta soon after.

If there is anything I left out, please send me a /tell or a PM with the information I left out and I’ll gladly edit this!

Peace
~Segan

The Order of the runs went like this:

1. Ravencroft
2. Lucavi
3. Segan
4. Danta
5. Belladiel
6. Cressidia (who had to leave after the second? run)
7. Katsukora
8. Sigmund
9. Hyrist

All of the runs went smoothly with 2 exceptions. Raven’s which was Maze Voucher 06. This run didn’t end so well, due to the fact that this particular maze is fairly difficult to even collect some of the required items. It was entertaining to say the least, but way to difficult. Segan’s run with was Maze Voucher 03. This one was very fun, but due to segan adding Rune 101, it created a situation where it seemed that there was no end the monsters, and it came to the point where we would have lost if we stayed in the maze any longer. Though lucky this mazy is uniqe in the way it lets you leave the maze. It allows you to exit any time after you defeat a floor. So with roughly 1 min. left we exited the maze, opened the chests, got the runes, and left.  To some surprise though, even with not finishing the maze completely, we sill got 1202 exp.

Now on to the runes we got, which compared to almost ever other MMM was a lot. On Segan’s run we got Rune 054 which went to Bella due to Segan taking hers awhile back. On my run we got Rune 053 which went to Hyrist due to the fact that i have to many job runes as is. On Bella run we got Rune 093. Katsu got Rune 087 on his run. Sigmund got both Rune 081 and Rune 010 on his, and finnaly Hyrist got Rune 012, which is never to be used…..ever.

Well, that all that happened this week. If there is anything i left out send me a pm or /tell.

Later everyone, and remember everyone is welcome to come next week.

-Danta signing out.

Starting June 29, 2009 through August 8, 2009 I will be unable to make it in time for the Moblin Maze Mondays Event. My reason is because I have an English class from 6:15PM to 9:30PM EST. Because Katamatoo has Dynamis with is other LS on Odin, I ask that Katamatoo setup and prepare the night before my arrival. This new system will continue until December 21, 2009 when Fall Semester ends for the rest of 2009. 2010’s schedule is unknown to me at this time, and another notice will be announced when I get more information.

And now for the update!

The order was as follows:

1. Tamtu
2. Danta
3. Luca
4. Katama
5. Raige
6. Eru
7. Segan
8. Cressidia
9. Belladiel
10. Leylia

Due to a previously planned engagement, Raige was unable to do his run, but was able to get a taste of Moblin Maze Mondays. Another member, Leylia, didn’t do his run but tried it out and enjoyed it very much! Hope to see you in the mix next time~! Some late arrivals include Cressidia and Belladiel. Damn you work and driving school~!

Going into the Runes we received, Danta got Maze Rune 052, and Cressidia got the Maze Rune 096! Unfortunately no other drops were had, but hey! Next time guys!

The only thing I can say that hindered our success last monday was Tamtu’s double elemental run. Ice Elementals right before Light Elementals…not good. This run ended in failure, but did that discourage Tamtu? Nope! He participated in yet another, right after!

Speaking of which, for those who haven’t yet, and have the Marbles to spend, you should look into buying Mob-Control Runes. I call them this because they make sure Elementals don’t show up. Having multiple of them in one Tabula can ensure a variety of mobs, but remember not to put to many. This doesn’t apply for the Maze Voucher #03. This Voucher will get messed up and do random mobs if two or more Mob Control Runes are chosen. For 100 Marbles you can buy Maze Rune 001, Maze Rune 002, and Maze Rune 003. For 200 Marbles you can get Maze Rune 004, Maze Rune 005, Maze Rune 006, and Maze Rune 007, and for 300 Marbles you can get Maze Rune 008 and Maze Rune 009.

One more note for you all. I have some help now with the updates. Danta will be making sure that these updates get done on time. So he’ll be helping out when he can. Thanks Danta~!

Until next time~
Peace~!

~Segan

The roster for last monday was as follows:

1. Tamtu
2. Katamatoo
3. Segan
4. Eruainur
5. Cressidia
6. Danta
7. Ephiroth
8. Bella
9. Zegg

We had some pretty successful runs that night with some Rune drops. Tamtu got a Maze Rune 042 to drop on his run, Segan got a Maze Rune 052, Danta got a Maze Rune 056, and Zegg got a Maze Rune 039! For those who didn’t get any drops, we can try on June 1, 2009~!

Using a few of the same Vouchers as usual, we had Maze Vouchers 01, 02, and 03 used. On of these days I think I’ll get the Synthesis Voucher, Maze Voucher 04. Give it a whirl~! Anyone want to test it with me when I get the Voucher just give me a /tell or shout out to me on Ventrillo~!

Well this update sure was short. Katama did most of the data work because my Database was acting up. Oh well Microsoft…oh well…

Good luck tonight everyone and let’s get the Maze Monger Monday #13, Mongered~!

~Segan

Yes, it does seem that this Monday was most inconvenient for some. Maybe some thought it was over. Maybe some had more important things to do. Maybe some had some farming or other things they wanted to do. Don’t worry though because this was bound to happen. Not to say that it was a bad thing. I’d just like to take this time to broadcast a reminder to everyone in case some people forgot or otherwise.

• MMMs starts at 6:30 to 7:00 PM EST
• We gather together at 6:00 to 6:30 PM EST at Lower Jeuno’s Chocobo Stables.
• Have your Tabulas ready and when you get to the rendezvous point you can customize your runes to your heart’s content. Or do it before hand!
• Once we get everyone together we do our roll to see what the order we will have. This is usually done at 7:00PM EST.

And thats just about it. The reason for the time to be so “Perfect” is because on an average Monday Night it takes us from 6:00PM to 12:00AM. To start any later would spell total devastation on my sleep and I like to sleep!

Also, a question was brought to my attention an hour before we were supposed to start. Basically stating that I canceled further MMMs because of the loss of a LS member. This is not true. The loss of Hileict didn’t indicate a loss of this wonderful event. Of course I’m not saying that a lot of people thought this, just a small few. I assure you that the event is still on!

Lastly, I’d like to remind everyone that this isn’t a members only event. If you’ve never done this event doesn’t mean you’re not welcome! As a matter of fact, you are all invited to join us. If you’ve never done it and are not too sure about it, come check it out.

For more information on the event’s mechanics, by all means Click Here!
That link will take you to the thread that explains EVERYTHING that goes on in the event and such. It still needs a lot of editing and fine tuning, but that is how it is now.

And that’s it for this weeks update! I hope to see you next Monday for a great evening!

~Segan

The list was as follows:

1. Zetra
2. *Guest*
3. Segan
4. Cressidia
5. Granas
6. Katamatoo
7. Hileict
8. Belladiel
9. Sigmund

On request before starting, Zetra went first due to homework only to return back later on in the night. Hileict’s run, to my knowledge was never done and he skipped out. Granas also left the event early for personal reasons left unexplained. Katsukora, due to a minor FFXI error, had to reinstall the game, and he missed the event entirely. Next monday Katsu~!

The Rune drops, well, My database decided to crap out this morning and glitched causing all but one runner’s Rune list to dissappear. The only Rune that was logged was Zetra’s run. She recieved the Maze Rune 045. Congradulations to her and the other runners who got Runes. I apologize for the glitch everyone.

The Maze Vouchers were basically the same as last monday. The only minor change that I have logged is the new Tabula I got: Maze Tabula 02. This tabula has the Elements of Light, Thunder, Fire, and Wind.

Before I end this post, may I say that Katama did an amazing job tanking Monday night. Congrats on Zero deaths too! The only death we had went to Cressidia. Also, we unfortunately (to my knowledge) had no screenshots for this Monday. Lastly on a personal note, I give my most humble apologies for being late on the blog post 2 times in a row.

See you next Monday! Don’t forget, you can join us any Monday and every Monday! Just get your Tabula ready and head down to Lower Jeuno’s Chocobo Stables at 6:30PM EST~!

~Segan

Our Roster for the night was:

1. Segan
2. Granas
3. Cressidia
4. Katsukora
5. Zetra
6. Kaizier
7. Feril
8. Belladiel
9. Hileict
10. Danta
11. Sigmund

For the runes last night we had drops for Cressidia, Zetra, and Belladeil (To my knowledge this was it). Cressidia got Maze Rune 042, Zetra got Maze Rune 081, and Belladiel got Maze Rune 043, which I unfortunately, due to sleep deprivation, lotted on and got by mistake. To make up for this mistake, the next time I get a rune, I will pass it to Belladiel.

Most of the runs went very well except for Granas’ run and Hileict’s run (To my current knowledge). Granas’ run was incompleted due to Time Out. They had an unfortunate encounter with elementals and it slowed them down too much. But they were almost finished with the run so it almost went through. Hileict’s run on the other hand, killed everyone once again. Not that that is a bad thing, but this is Run #3 that killed us. Other than that, I believe the rest of the runs went quite well!

To my knowledge, we had a few different Vouchers again instead of the usual Voucher #01. We had my Voucher #03, we had a few Voucher #02s and a few #01s. Sigmund, after having two failed attempts at Voucher #06, he decided to play it safe and do a Voucher #01 instead.

As for Levels, I don’t recall any level ups during the event. Maybe after I left, which was quite strange for me to do.

Well that’s it I think for this week! Be sure to meet us up at the same spot as usual for another great Monday~! And if you’re new, don’t sweat it! Whether you’ve done it before or not, just meet us over at Lower Jeuno’s Chocobo Stables with your Maze Tabula and 100 gil and get ready to Mumble and Monger!

We had 3 people receive new levels! Zetra WHM34, Danta PUP35, Katama DRK44.

This week was by far my highlight of MMM Mondays since this whole thing started. It even featured special guest cameo appearances by none other than Bill Cosby, Alex Trebek, Sean Connery and more~! There was an endless amount of laughs in the Ventrilo server thanks to both Sigmund and Granas at the very least. For those that don’t frequent the Vent server, please don’t feel discouraged, it’s always a fun place to hang out while adventuring! The server information is listed in a thread on the Hyozan forums, which is also extremely useful for getting any sort of help for anything or even to set up any events like this, Retsujo’s Nyzul Isle and Kaixy’s ENM’s.

I’ve also personally taken a ton of screenshots which I shall add below momentarily.

Until next week, this is Hileict, your friendly neighbourhood Maze Monger Mentalist~!
