FFXI ending song after finishing up the Rhapsodies storyline. Players were asked to submit themselves singing the chorus - I went ahead and did it, so I'm included in the chorus and got my name in the credits!

in a later post in that thread, someone says "several weeks before they left, Bale came to me, stating the mistrust Bale/Aerya/Imoh had with Tempus/Markus/Krazi/Miruuk in regards to the LS bank. He asked me if I would leave the shell if he did. They were already considering leaving the shell"
that explains beren's post.

Here's the bank split thread that was public. Apparently the bank thing was a red herring; they knew it all along but wouldn't share the balance (?). Why was it a secret? edeasorphans.proboards.com/thread/1565/Just to dispel any rumors while trying to be nonpartisan. It was already a known truth that Imoh and Aerya were going to leave the LS soon. The only unanswered question was "when." It wasn't directly stated in this "SHSY2" thread that Imoh speaks of, but I'll say it now. There was no way most of the SH were going to share the LS Bank balance with Imoh and Aerya when the SH knew both were leaving way before they ever asked for the balance. This, my friends, is the truth. We knew the balance, so there was no foul play. Some of us just weren't going to share it with Imoh and Aerya. We were just trying to protect the LS.

If all of the negative threads from 10 years ago had been deleted, deca drama torma would not exist. If only Killing Ifrit was still around, maybe deca drama torma would look healthier and have grown up into an uber HNM. I had a zero tolerance for drama or bullshit on my LS website (except in the admin forum). The site was an advertisement for the linkshell, and I didn't want a recruit to see a flame war or some other nonsense that gave the wrong impression. As we progressed through the game the community became much smaller and drama an unavoidable part of the game, so I would have certainly changed the policy. As for the epic drama threads, the sackholder forums here should have better logs than KI ever did. I had access for a small period of time and there were threads created for all drama, even minor stuff. I doubt anyone would be willing to share it though.

Were you apart of LS from June 2005 to Feb 2006? I was in ITV during the majority of that time period. I moved into EO full-time about the same time you did.

Ygrane was a mithra, but I don't remember her leaving. She did come over and play WoW for a bit IIRC. I even chimed in on Jerric's alla thread about Synergy. I didn't think it was right for him to go public with speculation about an LS leader (no points for osode, dyna jeuno, etc.).

I tend not to keep my mouth shut, so I probably partake in drama more than I intend. Actually, it's probably all the time with lines like "hey guys, let's get this bank thing fixed with an xcel spreadsheet". I also try to not burn bridges. I don't remember you being involved in drama much, if at all. You always seemed calm and well spoken whenever you got involved with things.

This is the hell that Sozu camping was (I didn't create the video, but was in it):

The Shuurou story: So this guy applied to the linkshell as a 75 THF, NIN and RDM. Everything was fine until he claimed he was 0-100 on Sozu Rogberry, the NM that dropped the Thief's Knife. I asked if he did his camping on Titan, and he said yes. Personally I was 0-45 on Sozu. And probably another 50 times someone else got the claim or he just didn't show up (2-8 hour spawn). So I spent hundreds of hours there, along with many other thieves doing the same thing. Jhonka, Greatsagan, Jessamyn, Lockess, Tanabata, Snowknight and many others. Between us we had that room well-covered over the past 12 months, and I started asking around - nobody had seen him down there, or ever even heard of him. So I called him on his lie and he wouldn't back down. So I started asking LS leaders if they knew who he was, and I started a thread on KI, and really just received conflicting information. He was the original account holder, then he wasn't, then he transferred from another server, then he didn't, the account was given to him by a friend, then it wasn't, etc. Since he was dishonest about camping the knife, and couldn't explain where the account came from, I just concluded he RMT'd the account and refused to play with him. We were about to begin Dynamis and I basically said I wasn't going to the event if he was. Not very mature on my part, but I wasn't going to play alongside someone who was essentially making a mockery of the work we had all put into the game. I took some lumps for it, but I was right. And that was proven when he ripped off Tarick, was associated with other known purchased accounts, and then just vanished, literally within two weeks. Looking back I should have just been more patient about it instead of causing drama, but the longer people like that are in your community, the more problems they can cause. I don't regret it.

I see the PM you sent about Oldman and Kirin tanking. I was wondering if there was one I sent about Zann training mobs on us in Dynamis Xarcabard. IIRC there was an incident where she was upset about not getting an R3 and it resulted in her dropping party / hourglass and threatening to train us. The Kinya incident is sort of documented here: ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=59&mid=1123037527245433860&h=50The best part of that thread was when some guy named Vekta started taking shots at EO, and said "Long Live Synergy". The next day the guy got kicked out of his linkshell and Markus found out and posted the info.

Was it Shalyn, not Winterkiss? Can you forward me that PM if you have it? My PM's here were deleted at some point in time.
Thanks for the refresh! I believe there were two groups of friends that had unrelated issues with certain officers around that time, which bumped the numbers up a bit. Maybe your Epic Necrobump will include those details. I tried to stay out of the drama (as best I could), although 5-6 people either quit or got booted at least partially because of me (Kinya & friends and the swearing episode, the guy who quit because I lotted Ninja AFv2 in Dynamis, the guy who bought an account and lied about camping THF knife).
I wasn't a sackholder and didn't ask questions, and (tried to) keep my opinions to myself. During the bank split, I thought the people leaving had the right to be upset, as the bank obviously needs to be transparently managed. I don't know how something so trivial escalated to a major split (didn't we have an accounting major managing the bank?), but I speculated either KOS was looking for an excuse to get out (Aerya's group) or the original EO leaders were being unreasonable; either way I didn't care because I was staying EO. It sucked though because we were tearing through Dynamis and so close to owning most in-game content.
There were former players and part time players who didn't attend events involved in LS politics (as seen in the Leadership thread) and I don't believe that helped matters; that's something that hurt my original LS. It's amazing how one comment made by someone in a leadership position can have such a lasting effect on someone.
Anyhow... Drama Torama...
