thistlechaserOkay, Heinz folks, I get it, you're sorry. Email yesterday (form letter), long voice message yesterday, and now today I got a LONG personal email. This is so very, very not what I expected from a company! And now they're going to send me coupons too, woo. (Not that I ever use coupons, but maybe if they're good enough I'll remember to.)
Posting about FFXI RP so much is doing bad things to my head. I looked through my hundreds of FFXI screenshots again and I'm really missing the game. I won't go back, it'd be pointless to, not to mention I have zero time for another MMO, but... This screenshot, with the banner/flags, totally killed me. Man did I love those two! The one on the right especially!
Sigh. FFXI really beats WoW on the armor, coloring, buildings/cities... Everything's so nice and reasonable and not 94751284534758490350 different BRIGHT contrasting colors and shoulderpads 100 feet wide...
That screenshot I linked caught so many nice things in my house, too. Sigh. Stupid FFXI, get out of my head again! Life is easier when I'm not missing you.

13. What’s your favorite culture to write, fictional or not?
That's kinda like yesterday's question (best example of world building), though I suppose I could have taken yesterday's honorable mention and used it as the answer here...
*waves hands* So pretend that's the answer here! FFXI, while not the biggest world building, was my favorite culture. We couldn't take credit for the original idea, but we sure did expand on it a lot.
That feels like a cop-out answer, but I'm sure I'll make up for it by writing some overly long answer to a future question. My head isn't on writing a post, it's off in the reef, knee-deep in cold fog, wrecks of ships all around, snake-women waiting at every turn to kill you. But, at the end, loved ones wait for you at home. (Nevermind that's Sandy in the background, not some fictional Corsair base in the reef!)
List of all 30 questions here.
Edit: Huh! I just noticed some of those screenshots are exactly three years old. They were taken on 8-6-07.
