I bring Sarah to your attention because she is very fortunate to be able to wear things that just don't work on me. The Hope Staff, of course, she's only borrowing for the picture. Originally she was wearing Faith Baghnakhs, but they clashed horribly with the gown--and ...

I keep hoping somebody else will take some screens, since my graphics are meh anyway, but I finally gave in and set myself up right. You have this screenshot to thank: I'm sorry, but is that not the coolest thing, all ruined by the lame plugin stuff? Of course, I haven't taken any worthwhile screenshots since changing the setting, because I suck. However, I promise that the quality of the random worthless ones ...

See, I'm finding that, as linkshell leader, I take pitiful loot pools personally. It just feels like SE is messing with me on purpose just to make me cranky. I kinda envisioned my job as a linkshell owner as this amazing Santa Clause gig. I watch over my boys and girls to see whether they're naughty or nice, and if they're nice, I give them toys and candy, pat them ...

I mean, think about it. So there are people whose sigs say, "xxxZZPWNZRZZxxx Obtains Four Salvage Bodies, three relics, and your mom." So what? That guy's obviously just a lootwhore. But when you see, "You throw away an Ares Cuirass" then you know you've beaten the game. Or else you're an idiot. Either way. The point is, there are certain things you can assume, ...

You trudge through Limbus and get a few chips, a few AF mats, some coins. You trudge through Salvage and get...out alive. Oh yeah, and I'm pretty sure everybody has some of these now: You trudge through Sea and wish more people would get the map (DAMN YOU FAITH!!). Then you trudge through Sky and get everything but what you're really looking for. Seriously, what's the point? Like...30 man hours and no drop. All we ...

So scary.... Anyway! In the last few days, several people have asked me for my thoughts about creating a linkshell. The conversation usually has gone something like this: Me: So, yeah. I started a linkshell. Not Me: OMG Lyc! A linkshell? What were you thinking??? Well, ...
