You know, looking back, I should never have started the game, just on the sheer thought of the old NM system, it makes me want to murder the devs.

Told myself I wasn't going to play it because I loved FF too much to see online drama in it and if I wanted an online game, I always had the MUD I used to play and FPS/Diablo 2.
That resolve lasted all of, eh. Three months? And I started in 1/2004.
Oddly, while it makes me a wee bit nostalgic for the original days of FFXI, it actually makes me more nostalgic for everything else going on at that time in my life.

This school has a 30% turnover for teachers. I can see why. The admin actually try to seclude us, and instead of giving any real support, all they ask is "How can I support you, today?"
Uh... have you seen my class? How about *** help with anything you can! What can I do to turn this ***around? But, they won't do that. They just ask their little buzz term and are done with it.
Ugh, I'm sick of this school.
Not that you'll take my recommendations... but I suggest you take a page from Mr. Sanderson's book of how to deal with mental defectives and have a ptsd flashback in the middle of class... start talking about how some of the people you killed in the war look like the students causing trouble... of course his stories were about vietnam but you can easily take a page from any of our recent campaigns....
I have seen that same defiant expression before... we were in kuwait going house to house... mopping up.... block by block... my team took up positions in front of the house and then two of our men sent concussion and incendiary grenades through the back window... and all we had to do was wait for them to run out the front door... and if they came out shooting we put three round bursts in dead center mass...until their eyes went dead....
I remember... the last round of one of my bursts caught this one *** in the side of his head and did this sort of graceful pirouette, like a ballerina... before falling to the ground... then the ringing in my ears from the gun fire was replaced by screaming... it was a young woman...she was about your age... she picked up his gun and began firing wildly into the darkness. I meant to just put one in her shoulder to force her to drop the weapon... but it caught her right here <rub your clavicle bone> right below her neck and I knew she was done for... so I pulled the trigger again....

Remember how notorious HNM LSs would break up and the news spread like wildfire, sometimes you'd even celebrate?
Seraph was a hotbed of drama back in the early days, because way back when a huge portion of the NA HNM crowd got their start in one linkshell that remade, broke up, reconciled, then broke up again but still did Dynamis together even though they hated each other, etc.
This ***went on for years. Well after Seraph was merged with Bismarck, in fact. Used to be a JP HNM LS on Phoenix who would stay up all night and claim or steal HNMs and either kill them or hold them till JP times if it wasn't far off.

most hnmls would try to keep stuff in their play times. god knows we used to try to keep sw/di in only our active time so no other groups could camp them.

In many ways I still consider them the finest iteration of online RPG'ing.
They married pen-and-paper with multiplayer better than almost anything else ever.
Though the one I played went through so many adjustments and additions toward my ending there that I had to give it up. It became essentially a PVP MUD, and I was sick of PVP by that time.

My characters are still active, I should hop back on.

Ha! Banshees always made me feel like this for some reason...
By Jetackuu 2014-11-24 15:11:59
Is it bad that I knew which level and game that was without even looking at the bottom or which suit Mario had on? Probably, since I haven't played it in years.

I forgot all of them, still hesitated the first time we made the run outside of Jeuno.
Are you sure? I don't know about this. Can we watch that guy run through first?

To be fair, I have learned a lot of that game over the years just by watching somebody else do it.

I never used deodorize for anything other than a joke. I would deodorize my buddy on occasion and say that his character stinks.

I was just hoping the banshee would aggro him/her so we could run through. LOL!

Before we give you random advices which might help, how did the university prepare you for such situations?

Nik vs. The Shower Taking Maniac
I went to my mother in law's house last night (She works second shift.) to let her dog out (he is a stay at home dog). and she doesn't leave any lights on so it's pitch black when I walk in... and it sounds like someone is taking a shower!?...
and I'm thinking... wtf!?!... what the hell kind of maniac breaks into an old lady's condo and takes a *** shower!? /adrenalin to maximum
I flip on the lights and there is water everywhere water is pouring from the downstairs half bath toilet...
the dog is on the couch, having wisely taken to higher ground, and I'm running around trying to figure out where the main water shut off valve is because no matter how I turn the knob to shut off the water to the toilet it's useless...
Ok so I run down stairs to the basement at it's fricken niagra falls down there and I can't find the water main shutoff valve so I run back upstairs and the goddamned valve thing pulls out to turn off >.<
I spent the next four hours making nautical reference jokes "WE'RE TAKING ON WATER CAP'N!!! MAN THE BILGE PUMPS MISTER SMEE!!!
and all this sort of nonsense... while I cleaned up as best I could .
around midnight I quit, set up a dehumidifier and went home and took a shower.... I'll tackle some more of it today....
my original plan was to kick back with a few frosty cold ones and watch the riot..../grumbles
stupid shower taking maniacs never give me any rest

We have a sign like this at work, maybe you need one for your classroom.
Other options:
Drink heavily. During class if necessary.
Actually beat the students.
Start teaching a different subject. Still use tests for the subject you were originally teaching so everyone fails.
Dress and act like The Dude.
Slip laxatives in a random student's drink every day.
Break a pool cue in half, toss it in the middle of the room, and announce that the last one standing has a chance of ever graduating.
I'm no expert, but one of those is bound to work.

Did you leave a note? Ahem... "You're house is flooded, I didn't do it, probably, but who knows... I'll be back some time tomorrow with parker and we will watch you try to clean it up and tell you how you're doing it wrong because I can no longer watch the riots live..."
P.S. My wife said you can bring whatever for thanksgiving dinner...

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
