Blazing Buffaloes, or How West Sarutabaruta Was Won (09/19/2008)

[MaachaQ]

One blustery day in the icy peaks of the North...

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif(Kupold):
Kupo-whoaaa! This wind's a-blowin' somethin' fierce!

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif(Kupulele):
Hold on to your bootstraps!

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif(Kupeliont):
Buckle down, boys! We've got a blizzard on our hands!


http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gifAhhh... after a week in the roasting sun of Purgonorgo Isle, these icy winds are just the ticket for my sunburned wings. Walkin' along in a winter wonderla—

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gifWhoa! Steady there, Kupold! That's an avalanche zone!

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gifPhew! That was a bit too close for comfo—

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif—and that's the edge of a cliff!

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gifKupo-whoa-whoaaa! Oh, confound these blasted mountains! Get me out of here, Kupeliont! I want my mommyyy!


http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gifHold your horses, Kupold; you're jittery as a jubjub.
Now look, it's just two whoops and a holler to the foot o' the mountain, then we're home free.
How's our herd lookin' back there, Kupulele?

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gifLet's see now. One, two, three li'l buffaloes... a couple o' heifers, a couple o' calves... ten, eleven, and... good as gravy, the herd's all here!

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gifOh-ho! Chalk another one up to the prodigious powers of Kupold the master mesmerist!
Speakin' of which, what's the story with these bovine beasties anyway?

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gifIf you weren't too doggone lazy to show up for last week's meeting, you'd already know.
It's none other than our latest and most ingenious plan! The one that'll put the MHMU back in the black for sure! None other than the... the, uh— what was it called again, Kupeliont?

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gifThe Buffalo Bonanza Ranch, kupo!

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gifThat's it! It's just like the big boss said:
“Listen up, pardners! A new era of thrills and entertainment is upon us!
That's right, I'm talkin' the rip-roarin'est dude ranch in Vana'diel! A place where adventurers from hither and yon can feast their eyes on cattle-drivin' shows while munchin' down gourmet buffalo burgers.
The Buffalo Bonanza Ranch—guaranteed to turn our treasury into a veritable gold mine!”

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gifYou catch our drift, Kupold? The very future of the MHMU hangs in the balance. By hook or by crook, we're bringin' these blasted buffaloes back to the three nations!
What in the—? Now where did that doggone steer go?

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gifHe's right over here- no, wait, over there? Tarnation, he was here just a minute ago!
Now you've done it, Kupold. Looks like your ballyhooed hypnosis spit the bit again!

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gifBalderdash!
Anyway, look here, we've made it to the foot of the mountain!
Getting back to town from here'll be as easy as pamama pie!

—Linkpearl: <Ring, ring>

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gifShut yer big bazoo, Kupold. It's a call from HQ!
What in the— a swarm of bugs outside the city walls, you say?

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gifEwww! Insects give me the heebie-jeebies!

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gifOh, don't be such a lily-livered girl, Kupulele. Look, we've got a thunderin' herd of buffalo behind us. We cut ourselves a path through the valley, and those bugs will skedaddle before you can say lickety-split!
Get along, li'l dogies! Yee-hawww!

A vanishing bull and a mysterious swarm of insects—
Little did our moogle friends know that these two seemingly innocent events
would raise a ruckus the likes of which the MHMU had never before seen...

[Amok]

The word bonanza is filling me with false hope..

[Lordwafik]

woo more enmity sashes

[Dantrag]

If you could have picked mog as a race.... i totally would have done it.

[kayn]

Any guesses to how the the jp version of this notice was worded?

[Izzy]

I loved this event! Glad they're actually recycling something fun.

[Jkun]

I like how they're trying out new art styles with every little event. The beautiful watercolours for the girl's day one, weeaboo faggotry for Mumor, and now an american comic book style image for the Buffallo roundup. Very original.

[Sabishii]

I took a google translate of the passage from the JP website, some of the phases they're using are different (of course), one line goes like this and made me lol: "OK, everyone's going KUPO's a good boy" But it's hard for me to discern much from it.

I don't know Japanese, but I'll guess it's one of the local dialects maybe a kansai (google/wiki it), but I REALLY don't know.

Also, the ranch in the JP version is called "BBQ ranch"

[Murdock]

woo more enmity sashes

this

[Thistle]

I hate these buffalo events, but the name of the event is making me snicker endlessly and I love the style of the picture they posted, so it's not a total loss.

[Callisto]

Needed that stupid enmity+2 sash forever too, lol.

Totally off-topic: I'm sure you've already heard this, but your sig is made of much win.

[Valkrish]

Aw ty :3

Now make my relic body really drop so it can be true. D<

[Jaybar]

Buffalo event in the past was my favorite event I ever did (also most bothersome lol). Can't wait to be knocked around all of Van'adiel.

Also, that artwork is much win.

Awesome, I been wanting to get my hands on that sash too. I did it when it first came out and only on my old character.

[Lampoon]

Is that a ten-gallon hat, or are you just enjoying the show?


Where Mel at?!

[miokomioko]

Twinkling Treants > Buffalos...

I'm sorry.

[Octavious]

Is it t'wue what they say about you people?

on topic: <3 going to get my enmity sash this time, any tips? I've never been motivated enough to do this, but I think I will this time since I want to level PLD. >_>;
