rofl @ the part in bold, how fucking sad

[JerseySnD]

laf that is too funny. Those rules are hilarious. Vacation {Can I Take It}

[Realm]

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

[FFXIFlux]

Actually not that many rules, but a lot of them are attendance and behaviour based which tell me the LS is scrapping the bottem of the barrel player-wise.

I think some of the comments by people are the funniest. Someone with a highest job of 48 saying how the LS will fail, meanwhile they're off doing the top mobs in the game which this person has no hope of ever even seeing let alone fighting.

I can't believe people on an end-game oriented message board don't understand the rules or the reasoning.

Umm, I'm on an end game oriented message board and I don't understand the reasoning. I have to schedule a fucking vacation? Give me a break lol. And if I miss two sea events I'm out of the shell? Give me a break lol, that shell is fucking stuuuuuuupid.

A vacation from attending events idiot. Read and understand.

As for sea events...well I don't like that either.

i get it, it's an interesting concept but not easy to implement or manage, imo. didn't read any of the other rules, not really my business, but lol at all the people flipping out.

an HNM LS with 0 rules never get anything for anyone.

Rofl I understand, trust me. It's still stuuuuuuuupid. "Hey Mr. Officer, I need to take a vacation from the next few events because I'm getting married soon and have a bunch of errands to run." "sorry we really need you here, we're short on people." "sorry i just can't make it, RL calls." "find another linkshell then"

{No fucking thanks.} The idea that I should have to justify any absence whatsoever to people who I am playing a -game- with is stuuuupid. i have to request vacation from work. I don't have to request vacation from a game, period.

[layoneil]

no, you don't understand.

a vacation from LS events as in: "damn, i'm really burned out from doing stuff. i'm still around and i'm still going to play, but i would really like a full week where i can do nothing but XP or craft or level my NPC and not have to worry about being called to disband after an hour."

[Desklamp]

You understand!

[edgarfigaro]

The rules are fine, if a bit strict. I prefer my ls's system, but I can see how those rules would eliminate 90% of the drama over drops.

[Gatsby]

If it works for them, why should we complain?

Jesus christ, damn snobs. Why should I have to justify anything to a LS. Ya know, make a schedule when you wanna make some sort of run, and than other people can comment whether or not they make it.

Real Life > Game.

If you dont get enough people, try to reschedule, I'm not building my life around .dat files and pixels.

Were making a sea run. - Sorry man, cant make It, i got work in the morning - Uhm, no you will comeor else - ...... *throws away LS pearl*

The problem is that if you have no rules people will walk all over your LS. The problem is not people who have to work in the morning, but people who have loads of RL stuff to do during LS events that they don't need (yet are somehow in the game partying mysteriously without a pearl) yet their RL suddenly becomes less busy when there are events that directly benefit them.

If there is no structure, your LS is going to have a group of dedicated people who go to most every event and a bunch of hangers on who leech the items they want then are not to be found. Nothing kills a person's dedication faster than seeing a bunch of bums reap as many rewards as people who pay with blood, sweat, and tears.

I can understand if your in the game, and dont quite wanna participate, if they've all helped you, than your certainly obligated. I just mean torwards IRL things.

You are obviously like the majority of the other people here who posts stuff that has absolutely no idea what you guys are writing about. Apparently you assumed the rules are towards RL things, how about you read the rules clearly before you post? It only goes towards when you are actually playing the game and want to take a break from ls events to do other things. It's so funny watching you guys "lol" and bash things when all you probably did was skim through the block of text and just saw what you wanted to see. =] Its cool though I suppose, always fun to see people make an ass of themselves. =)

shit id have -35366444444 points for cussing.

those fuckers lol, but if they are that big of a ls obviously it works

[Alleya]

I think the people who are blah blah blahing about not having to justify etc etc have never been in a leadership position where you see a white mage with a noble's tunic leveling his level 20 dragoon while you have 15 people standing in the kirin room an hour after the time you were supposed to start the event. Whether or not it's a game, you are still pledging responsibility to a group of real people who also have lives by joining a HNM LS and saying you want to do events. While it's that's person prerogative to do whatever they wish with their time, they are wasting the efforts of 40+ other people who have also sacrificed their time to do events ingame that got that person rare items.

That being said, don't get me wrong. I don't agree with a linkshell that goes complete totalitarian, and there are exceptions to every rule even if you only have 5 or 6 of them. Obviously real life is more important and I'm not disputing that, but game life has its own set of rules in itself. As I said before, when you join a HNMLS you are taking on real life responsibilities insofar as your time allows to be at events and do your fair share of work. Responsibility, no matter how small or insignificant, is still that. Repercussion will always and should always follow any sort of deliberate action that compromises it.

When you all have experienced what it's like to put so much effort into a linkshell, and leading a linkshell, only to see people casually cripple it when they could be giving back for the items others worked so hard to get them (as you have done for so long) via their consistant (not saying complete) attendance...then you can talk about what should and should not be justified.

[Russta]

Regardless of what I or anyone else thinks of such tyrannical rules, nobody can argue with all they have achieved in the past and continue to do so now.
