[Cerberus] TeleTubbies EU LS

[Yoruichii]

TeleTubbies - Cerberus LS

First a little detail about TTs history and how our system works so you know what your applying too:

TT was started back in early 2006 by Jogiyat as a EU prime time Dynamis shell with a philosophy to keep the shell limited really to friends and to use some kind of point system that prevents leadership bias. Of course since then, we've branched out to several things encompassing what the game has to offer. Since early 2008, we completely reformed our shell including the point system which we believe makes us one of the most unique LS's in the game when it comes to handing out gear. During summer 2009 Orodreth took over the shell from Jogiyat.

How our TT system works is very simple. You earn points for each event that you attend which is organized via our forum. The points vary given the needs of the event, time, etc - Some events also give MPs (Money Points) a unique system to calculate the amount of gil you will acquire at the end of each month. During each event, a drop down menu of the various items is listed for which you can 'bid' your points much like an auction house. This of course is all done privately and the final bids aren't made public until 30min before the event starts.

So if there's something you really want, then work for it and go all in when the times comes. Or, if your looking for some af2 for that 4,5th job, then bid 1 point and hope no one else bids anything higher. The point is, how you gear yourself is left entirely up to you, and that's how it should be.

List of Benchmarks that need to be met:

1. Access to Dynamis Xarcarbard.
2. Access to Sea, full access to all areas including Garden.
3. Access to Sky, full access to all sky areas.
4. At least three 75 Job - Of different classes and geared.
5. Access to all the expansions including the past (Being able to warp to any zone via past NPCs)

Other Things of Importance:

5. Be prepared to make TT your full time home (no social/chat shells, you are after all joining a family).
6. We run a very unique point/bid lot system that requires visiting this portal often.


Our Schedule:

As we are an EU LS, our times start from early as 4:45pm until around 9/10pm, not all days begin that early and not all days end that late, and you will rarely have a day that will be that long and time consuming. All times are UK based, EST times will be 5 hours previous (11:45am until 4/5pm).

Monday - Limbus > Einherjar > ZNM
Tuesday - Sea
Wednesday - Dynamis (CoP, Icelands, Cities) > Bv2/Ouryu
Thursday - Limbus > Einherjar > ZNM
Friday - Sky or ZNM TIV
Saturday - Free day
Sunday - Dynamis (CoP, Icelands) > Bv2/Ouryu

Please note that these events are not limited to being as such, and occasionaly are subject to change due to more involved events. A good example of this is when we defeated Pandemonium Warden which is not a regular event, but will take place over other day events.

Accomplishments:

Our finest achievement of late has been our success in killing the ultimate bad boy of Aht Urhgan - Mr Pandemonium Warden himself. We are currently looking at this guy as a potential 2 monthly pop NM as we are able to collect and supply multiple Trophies on each path. We have just finished collecting our Next pop, and will hopefully be able to down him again in Nov/Dec!

Einherjar is done twice a week we regularly do Odin every fourth event. As such, we have collected around 7 EBodies, 10 Dalmies and a phenominal amount of other abjurations for our members. Currently we are aiming for our 23rd Odin event, of which we have never lost!

Although we are primarily an event LS, we have on a vast amount of occasions, downed Dark Ixion and Sandworm, these are usually done within our out of Season breaks, generally every 3 months.

Due to our system, we are able to attain large amounts of currency, which has allowed us to help members with in the LS to attain Relic weapons over the last year, with the clever use of our points system.

And finally we are hoping our crowning achievement will be to figure out the way to take down AV, if not, at least join the few LS that may be able to attain this status, should the secrets ever be figured out.

- the event index. the place where you join the events and can check further details. the smal repview on top is board-wide viewable and shows all upcoming events + your current sign status. the times are according your own timezone settings.

- event joined. once you decided to join an event, you will be able to bid on possible drops. there are no restriciton to what you bid on, except your points. you won't be able to see others bid until the sign up window has closed and so, no more bids are possible. however, there is a value in () behind each drop which shows the amount of bids that already have been made on that item. you're also able to edit/leave a comment, like "will be late", "have my babies" etc.

- bids. 30min before the event starts, sign up closes and you can't bid anymore. additionally, all other bids are viewable now and gives the event leader a straight hierarchical loot order. you will also be able to see who got what, after the event has finished and the drops/points are stored.

very good solid Linkshell.

Good luck tubbies.

I forgot to mention that TT uses a point based Monthly gil distribution. Certain events gain you MP (Money points), and the accumulation of the gil is divided by the number of MPs with the members of the LS, and totalled for the value of MPs you have acquired within that month. An average monthly gain would be around 500k-1Mill depending on how many events you can turn up too and help the LS attain.

good luck with recruiting tubbies
