I gotta break this habit. :P (FFXI)

thistlechaserSilly posting at night, I should be in bed! But we were up late on the game and I have a ton of screenshots, so might as well post them now, right? :P
And speaking of habits which need to be broken, I died not just once tonight, but twice! But I'm pretty sure we still came out ahead on XP, so it's fine. More than fine, actually. The second wipe showed just what a good group of mature, talented players can do: With undead on one side of us and fomor on the other, we recovered from a full wipe and got two parties out of there. (Non-players: Both undead and fomor (which are sort of undead) do something called "blood aggro". If your HP is low, they'll attack you. They "smell" the blood on you.) Both undead and fomor kept coming within aggro range (and we had lots of fomor hate by that point) so it's especially impressive. /praise to Chip, Nif, and Draque, our uber-mages! And to everyone else for listening, not panicking, and working together!
So, um, yeah, what we were doing to get into that situation: Some work on the CoP mission. We needed two coral keys and ended up with what, six? Plus got that other key we needed, too. :)
And even more importantly:
Hellloooo panties! My old friend!
Not only did those panties drop, we got two more pairs! Three DRK panties and only one other from all the other jobs. S-E all but announced on a loud speaker "WE WANT THISTLE IN PANTIES, DAMMIT!" Heeheehee. :) Congrats to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zubis and gbeans for getting the other two pairs. ;)
Screenshots!
* Fomor Thief I took lots of screenshots of the fomor, but few came out well. This one features a "fruity elf" fomor THF. Elves hold their weapons very oddly. (And isn't that a 2 handed sword he's holding? What's he doing with a shield, too?)
* One of the most evil looking mobs in the game. I, um, don't know exactly what their called. Lich I thought, but we ran into other mobs called Lich, so it can't be that. Alas I didn't get charmed, but he was still fun to kill! (Non-players: This family of mobs can charm PCs and make them attack their party. It's fun!)
* You see dead people~. Our first (almost) wipe. I'm still a little confused about how this happened, but somehow a bat got attacked while we were fighting the NM. Amazingly, other thangbeans (who somehow lived!), I was the last person to die! In your face, DRK DEF! Beanie and I killed the NM together before I fell. :)
* Death #2... a trail of bodies! How many things killed us? Let me count the ways... Two different undeads and two fomor! (One popped in camp while we were fighting the other (I think), then we moved a little and got blood aggro? It's rather foggy.) I like how there's a line of bodies though, heehee.
* Another "cool monster" shot. We killed a bunch of these. I'd love to have one as a pet~! (Heehee, so tired, getting silly...)
Lastly, allow me to do a little "dickwaggling". (Non-players: Showing off your damage, equipment, etc is usually taken to mean a teenage boy needs to show off how big his "e-penis" is.)
Guillotine + SE:
I also Guillotine'd once with LR for 950+ and once "plain" for 900+, but unless it breaks 1K damage, it's not worth commenting on. :P Niala and Chip were nice and didn't let me die, no matter how hard I tried to!
EDIT: Cehra, look here for some important stuff on WHM Maat.
