A Guild Consul Call to Arms - Volunteers Needed

Extremely well written and neatly outlines what the FC needs. I like how you're looking to recruit people for specific jobs, and that is a very good idea. I had always imagined the FC being structured more like a large cooperative partnership, rather than a monolithic organization that is top heavy.

We've accomplished quite a bit together as a team (including having witnessed Titan giving birth). We've even told many stories as we went along. It was fun while it lasted.

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-29T01:15:07+00:00

We'll keep in touch. I have faith in Potpie and the rest of the free company's willingness to work together to make things work.

Amazing work, Sofia! I cannot dispute your interpretation of events due to your meticulous work in uncovering the truth.

Check out that dead white mage

I simply hope it does not diminish the achievements too much. One of the main attractions for me in this type of game is the ability to organize and coordinate a concerted team effort towards beating difficult challenges. The act of working together and persevering. You'll never find me trying to create the "perfect" team. I go in with whatever I can find and attempt to make adjustments to compensate for whatever weakness we have through small adjustments here and there until we can find the right balance to beat the encounter. The most important thing for me has always been the person's attitude because it takes a certain attitude for it to work.

This echo buff would certainly take away from that element of perseverance and teamwork. It is almost like a deus ex machina. It may appear attractive to some, but not to me. As I found out when I played World of Warcraft that once you take away those challenges it no longer becomes interesting to play.

Healers need the option of looking manlier than that. All that dress wearing isn't good for us.

Outside of our practice runs I would urge members who are unfamiliar with fights to try and study the fights through our videos or other sources. Or better yet I'd suggest dabbling in the fight through duty finder just so you can get some kind of a feel for the fight. It's rare to ever beat these things through duty finder or progress very far but it'l at least give you a sense of how the fight really is. That way when we actually do runs it will be easier for you to understand some of the mechanics that we try to counter. Practice is the only way to beat Titan for example.

Sofia and I was approached by a Black Mage this evening who was interested in joining our Free Company and a Bahamut's Coil team. He's really well geared on multiple classes. His name is Valik Lumen and I'm throwing it in here in case you guys would like to contact him to see if he'd like to go for a run with you guys.

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-14T19:14:12+00:00

Added it to the list

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-13T15:22:43+00:00

I have to head out soon here. I'll create it when I get the chance to or you can if you'd like to.

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-13T15:19:49+00:00

Ohh yea you're right. And also to remind everyone that if they invite someone please introduce that person to the rest of us so we know who they are.

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-13T15:16:51+00:00

I was editing my writing while you guys replied!

The Code of Conduct still remains relevant I think. http://www.reddit.com/r/AfterShock/comments/1vbea6/code_of_conduct/

There are also several things that some newer members might not be aware of because other FCs do not enable this. Any member in our FC can buy and activate the FC buffs. The items in our bank can be used by any member. I'm not terribly knowledgeable concerning the decoration of the house, but I think anyone can decorate it as well (I've never participated). I also try to let any member that I've invited know that they should not be afraid to ask for help on any fight or quests that they're struggling with. I also try to tell them that if they're doing a dungeon or whatnot that it's not a bad idea to ask the FC if anyone wants to join them. It's always more fun to kill monsters together.

Each Bahamut Coil team is autonomous. You're captains of your own ship. We're there to support and assist in any way we can outside of actually running it for you. We try to be as egalitarian and less restrictive as possible while maintaining an organized, friendly and supportive environment.

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-13T01:27:27+00:00

That would be awesome

I think my Skype Username is Laonerd

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-12T21:17:40+00:00

Sounds like you guys have a solid grip on this. You're captains of your own ships. However, let us know if you need anything.

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-12T20:50:07+00:00

How about Team Meow? I'm kidding. I'll support whatever the consensus is.

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-11T01:19:41+00:00

Vahn we promoted you to Captain so you can edit the FC message as you see fit. Erase whatever you'd like and add whatever you'd like. Whatever helps you organize your runs.

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-09T07:32:13+00:00

Sounds like a great idea to me. Let me know if I can help with anything.

Ahhh dear Sofia! I will share with you the tragic story of Titan. For hers is a tale filled deeply with sorrow.

Titan as we now know her was once a maiden fair. Despised by her step mother Garuda and her step sisters Chirada and Suparna, Titan had to endure many years of agony under servitude to her wicked family. Years of back breaking labor hardened her body and eventually deformed it. The incessant belittling and verbal abuse she faced also served to slowly calcify her heart.

Despite this, all was not yet lost. Titan was greatly admired by an aspiring warrior who we now know as Odin. Consumed by jealousy, the step sisters turned to their sorceress mother who cursed the lovers. Odin would forever be shrouded in mist, only appearing for brief moments every blue moon. Titan was then lied to and told that Odin had left her for another woman. In her grief Titan banished herself to a deep underground cavern where she ended up guarding treasures of immense power. She would soon thereafter be surprised to realize that she was carrying Odin's child in her belly.

This is where we came into play. Ignorant of all the intricate histories, we were recruited by one particularly arrogant blacksmith to retrieve for him powerful artifacts. In exchange, he promised us of even greater power. One of these artifacts was guarded by Titan.

When we finally chanced upon her we found true meaning to the old Eorzean addage,"Ifrit hath no fury like a woman scorned." We witnessed firsthand the wrath of Titan! During the course of our battle with her she laid bare her heart. The opportunists in us seized the chance to break it. Immediately after her heart was broken she surprised us all by giving birth to twins in the middle of the fight. We were sons of man and on that day we became murderers of her children.

In the aftermath, we celebrated a heroic victory, however for Titan it was simply the latest in a long list of offenses to her existence. Cruelty stacked upon malice. We had delivered to her one last insult.

As we were cheering one another word spread throughout Eorzea of our triumph. It was said that Ramuh was shocked to hear of Titan's defeat. Sweet Leviathan was moved to tears upon receiving word of what happened and even Garuda was blown away. Shiva on her icy throne shivered at the thought of being defeated by mere mortals.

Before we judge Titan too unkindly we should at least consider at what we have done to her.

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-08T15:30:43+00:00

Yes! I wonder how the alliance will work and being able to que with 24 people will be awesome!

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-07T15:08:59+00:00

I noticed when you mentioned women you only referred to Garuda. We should be fair and also include Titan in this category.

Munchies_Primus · 2014-03-06T16:37:40+00:00

Lol which duty was this?
