You’ve been there. Sitting around in LS, asking…”Hey, anyone wanna do Promyvion for CoP?” or asking if people want to gather to get things like… a Voyager Sallet, only to be ignored or snuffed off because you don’t seem to have the man power behind it to get it done. Or it’s too inconvenient. We’ve all been there! Rather than trying to plan events via the forum (which we’ve learned doesn’t ever work!), we figured out that we should just list what everyone needs in this game. If anyone happens to stroll around and have mutual goals, THEN they could team up!

Let’s be fair; everyone’s got their own priorities, and being a big international shell like ours, not everyone’s going to be able to help at any given moment. So let’s create some awareness and try and be more pro-active on things!

Example A!

-Person A wants a brutal earring, is at 13/25 Ancient Beastcoins. Puts it in their thread!
-Person B skims thread and sees Person A’s need for ABC’s. They find Person B and give them a coin they had on them! Free or discount, up to them.

Example B!

-Person B needs to camp an NM that can be Duo’d. Lists name.
-Person A is willing to help! Finds B in LS lounging around. Joins. Kills. Wins.

So the general idea is to approach people and see if they’re available to do what you want to help them with, or see how far everyone is in certain missions, or even find crafters for your needs.

Let’s rock ‘n roll!

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!

What a week! Aside from my K-1 Visa interview IRL, FFXI has been keeping me busy this past weekend and before! But definitely the rest of the LS as well!

The most notable part on my end was obtaining Rank 10 in San d’Oria! I have yet to check the epilogue cutscenes but many exciting missions have been done after helping a few of our LS members with the 5-2 battle, as well as hitting level 40 on Black Mage! Judgment is also a very nice weaponskill; I’ve been able to pull some good damage with it, stacking it with Sneak Attack. I don’t care what anyone says, but 801 damage is very nice!

-Sandy Rank 10, Carbuncle Mitts, SMN27, WAR35, BLM40, WHM62, Adventuring Fellow: Blessed Radiance complete and level cap raised to 60, and of course obtaining the Judgment WS for Club!

Let’s see what the others have been posting about!

• Sigmund’s been working on Beastmaster (32) and Thief (61); with the help from Garin, Aricka and some others he obtained his Rapparee Harness!
• Raige downed the Shadow Lord, obtained Spinning Slash for Great Sword and his NPC Tsuim hit 44!
• Arwin’s got Scholar up to 31!
• Ravencroft broke his habits for the Shadow Lord fight and went in as DRK for the first time, almost one-shotting the bastard for the first phase with a 2.4k Guillotine! Impressive!
• Katamatoo is moving further into the darkness and hit level 50 on Dark Knight!
• Segan hit level 75!!!
• Ghostofonyx cleared Dynamis Lord, got all of his OP warps, Relic Hands for Ninja.
• Biri made his return to the shell and got his DNC to 58!
• Eruainur’s got his Staff skill to 223, Monk to 48 and rearranged his moghouse to look even nicer!

New members this week: Dramorion, Talym and a handful more!

Greetings and Salutations to you all!
Another successful night for MMMs that ended in 4 Runes from 3 people last night, as well as some level ups! So congratulations to Katsukora for hitting level 48 Summoner and to Belladiel for hitting Level 73 Red Mage! And on, what I guess you could call a low note, we didn’t have as many people as I expected , but that doesn’t mean we didn’t have fun anyways! ^_^

The order of people were as follows:

1. Segan
2. Cressidia
3. Hileict
4. Katsukora
5. Belladiel
6. Katamatoo
7. Danta
8. Silentlucidity

Hileict’s run was awarded with a Maze Rune 039. This rune is called Altered Aggression. Not sure what it does though, but maybe he can give us a taste next week! Belladiel also got a Maze Rune 039 but she also got a Maze Rune 040, which is called Altered Defense. Interesting. Last but not least, Silentlucidity finished his, what I believe is his first run for MMMs, with a Maze Rune 011; Dragons. Good job you guys! ^_^

We originally only had 7 people for the event. After Silentlucidity came on he Jumped on over to Lower Jeuno with his Dragoon to participate and to what I heard, he had a blast! Now that the add-ons are out of the way, let me no go into drop outs. Before I do, let me say that for the past few events people have come in and then decided to just leave before their run and jump in but then decided not to go after all because it’s taking too long. Hileict and I don’t mind if you leave, even if you have a legitimate excuse to leave or not. We do expect you to stay until the end, unless according the roster data that you’d be out at the very end of the event, then by all means go. Last time it started to mess up the roster and screwed up my math, but today I’m going to create a Database of EVERYONE in the Linkshell and put them up into a Special MMMs Database for analysis and make my life easier. That being said: Our first Drop-Out for the night was unfortunately Cressidia. She completed 2 runs. which included her own, and did not feel up to doing anymore due to a personal problem with one of the runners. Our second Drop-out was Hileict. Astonishing as it may seem he did drop. His reason for dropping is entirely unknown to me at the time beacause I wasn’t paying attention to the party at the time. I think I do know the reason, but there is a time and a place, and this isn’t the time nor the place.

On a slightly happier note: No real problems were happening during the runs. Katamatoo died a few times, Hileict died, Danta and Silent died, but other than that we didn’t have any party wipes that ended any of our runs short (even though one of them almost did! White Mage and Red Mage melee for the win~!) Like is said though, no real problems! ^_^

So overall the night went pretty well. We got 4 runes to drop, which is more than I can say about the other runs, including side runs. Katsukora leveled, again, and Bellediel got the level she wanted! Excellent! I hope you all who participated had fun and we hope to see you again next monday for another exciting night~!

~Peace!
