Possible Variations:
Just started up smn again a little bit, which is why I was on social ls a few days levelling with a friend of the same lvl. Possibly more than usual social LS time.
Did quite a few late-night stuff with SD than I normally do due to me being bored and them wanting help. Possibly more than usual SD LS time.
Work has been starting to bog me down, with preparations to present our program to out-of-country clients. Time on FFXI itself has been sketchy, and will be cut even less over the next week or so.
Conclusions:
Even with the possible variations from normal activity, the approximate distribution of my time spent in various linkshells would remain about the same, with a bit more % spent in DTR and Sky ls as my total FFXI time decreases.
I had forum access taken away because members of authority thought I did not use SD as a 'main LS'. I should hope the data collected over the past week, the possible variations, the pie chart, etc, is a good indication that those thoughts are wrong.
There were also some lingering accusations that I only came to events when things benefitted me (AKA the leech mentality). Just like to point out that I have obtained nearly nothing during my time in SD. ((Reverand Mail, Black Halo, and now Cleric's Briault are all I've gotten from direct help/assistance/teamwork with SpoonDaggers members and others in the case of DTR.))
Now.... can I please have forum access back yet? ~.~
