Hugs Cousin Chaostaru <3 Welcome to Dreadnaught Science Lab. We love to explore novel ways to blow things up. Empirically yours, Science Officer Minimuse Bahamut.Shozokui said: » We're collecting Epeo RUNs and Idris GEOs like pokemon cards guys. Get it now before we're closed up. Huge plus if you have a geared ranger (AF/Relic +3, Gastra, Gandiva). We have been wanting to do more shooty things, let's fill those ranks. Cheers to shooting things! It's a fun thing to do! Hey guys,
Most of you already know that DN is a high end linkshell with it's fingers in all current content in the game. Usually the people we seek to recruit are already geared and experienced. We're opening our doors for newer and returning players who want to specifically learn more about playing White Mage in endgame scenarios. You will learn interesting techniques such as:
You will learn how to heal in the following contexts:
As a group, we will be providing assistance with key gear requirements and advice/assistance on producing adequate funds through acceptable means (Nothing shady). With these skills and gear, you will be able to heal all endgame content and instances with ease. The only commitment required is as follows:
We are not elitists and have assisted countless players in optimizing their jobs and play styles. Everyone is very friendly and willing to offer any advice or assistance they can. Some of our strongest members today were returning players only 1 year ago. I strongly welcome anyone to come learn from a group of very strong and articulate mages. Offline

Hey Shozokui,
I recall your LS's humble beginnings a year prior, and now your group is almost as good as Lex's crew. As a former applicant, I am no stranger to rejection and failure, so I would like to apply once more for this new opportunity. Unfortunately, I can only offer you /NIN as a subjob because I do not feel good about playing WHM without contributing to the team's DPS -- it also helps me stay awake. By choosing yours truly over other applicants, you can expect the following from me:
While I do not expect your LS to adopt an elitist mindset, I do expect you to reimburse my server transfer fees by fully-financing my Yagrush and Gambanteinn (Progress: 0%). Do not delay, your future Disclaimer: Unless the top LS here wants me first. Tigarion said: » almost Almost? Damn Offline

Pardon me, Shozokui, but I could not determine if you were paraphrasing my entire post or quoting a single word without context here.
Tigarion said: » I recall your LS's humble beginnings a year prior, and now your group is almost as good as Lex's crew. In the event of the latter, I must dock your LS style points for resorting to SMN burns during your inception, and Inquisition's use of non-verbal communication gave my bladder a most favorable impression. Also, I might be (read: most likely am) butthurt over how I was rejected after your LS switched to melee burns; however, I have since doused my Gridarvor in gasoline and tempered my conventional DPS ego. Blessed is the one who can taper healing. In the event of the former, I presume I have been rejected and hope we can keep in touch as professionals. I will be staying productive and learning a new instrument, so look forward to my sad violin music during your next recruitment drive. Sincerely, Unemployed but ambitious Shichishito said: » Mostal!? Dearest Tigarion,
Tigarion said: » In the event of the latter, I must dock your LS style points for resorting to SMN burns during your inception, and Inquisition's use of non-verbal communication gave my bladder a most favorable impression. Ooouch, getting out'd for being SMN burn kiddies. What's that saying when someone gets caught cheating... "It was just a little bit, and we only did it one time." You may be surprised how hard Reisenjima HELMs are with no regal neck CORs, no Honor March bards, no Yagrush WHMs, no burtgang plds, no Epeo runs, and only 1 Idris in the family. So we had to be cheesy kids for our first aeonic :( :( :( Then again, we did kill Zerde with mages from Day 1, so maybe we're not Chester Cheetah over here after all??? Fun fact, we never killed Kirin with SMNs, something always went wrong lol. Lost like 4 or 5 pops because something always went wrong. We only killed it melee. VODs still exist of us killing Kirin and WoC melee in our first aeonic run. Tigarion said: » Also, I might be (read: most likely am) butthurt over how I was rejected after your LS switched to melee burns I know man, it sucks we couldn't continue. We just had to move on once we slowly got caught up on the OP REMA grind. :( Don't worry, we stilled SMN burned in low man context to help people with the off helm here or there all the way up until December. Though the strategy died, we kept it alive in those memories. Tigarion said: » Unemployed but ambitious Such is the factory worker who got replaced by the machine. Tis a rough existence. :( Offline

Appearantly you need to recruit more tarus for fashion points Shozo....Your LS SS last page only has TWO tarus, unacceptable. Lex has mama xiu x2, chief, piko, Wes, Baniak(who equals to 10 tarus by himself), Tozi, 10m...etc and many other taru alts from people that's not taru themselves. So that adds a lot to the overall stylish points. So yup, more works to do but I'm always on your side and I will pray for your success at recruiting for more tarus for the sake of our world! =) Afania said: » How could you not mention our lord and saviour Kakapoopoo?!

Konichiwa Tigar-san <3
Thank you for your interest in Dreadnaught. I am the Community Leader of Dreadnaught. The senior members call me Momma Muse. I help Shozokui with recruitment and public relations. An LS works with whatever accoutrements and people we have at our disposal. The more variety of well-geared frontline and backline jobs, the more endgame goals an LS can achieve in FFXI. When working with new members or allowing old members to play new roles, LSes tend to have hiccups no matter how well established they are. Lex and Shoz are competitive LS leaders in their own right. We have several BiS God Tier members in our LS. However, I am a Heretic Gamer Girl. I don't follow Gods because: *Gods are easily bored and often boring; *Why settle for being a mere run-of-the-mill God; *Always set the bar higher; *Always bring your family to your level; *Always do better. Boss Cat (Shozokui) is a rare cat who will drop playing the more flashy jobs like R15 RUN and R15 melee jobs. He will play WHM while multiboxing BRD and GEO when we are short on mage support. This is what earns Shozokui my respect. Boss Cat will also take the time to patiently teach members how to maximize their mage, melee and tank jobs. He will go on farming runs with me to help members get much needed gear from WOC, Kouryu, etc. This is what earns Shozokui my deepest respect. If Shozokui were a run-of-the-mill elitist leader, he knows I would not have anything to do with him or his LS. I only ignore his outdated movie quotes and weird humor. Thusly, if you truly wish to apply to Dreadnaught again, show-us what you have in the way of backline and frontline jobs and accoutrements. You will need to work on your own REMAs, however. While we are helpful, entitlement will put you in the timeout corner by me. If I can work hard at farming my own pops, missions, assaults and detritus to make my REMAs and R15 them, you can too. If you enjoy outdated movies and have a dry sense of humor, you and Boss Cat will get along famously.

Hello Minimuse,
I would be happy to disclose my jobs and equipment for you, and if you still have a character on Sylph, I will regale the specifics in-game... perhaps over a latte at the newly reopened Malboro Cafe? To cut to the chase, I still have misgivings about your linkshell, and only copious amounts of shiny blue gems, heavy metals, or time will truly ease that, especially for the role and expectations Shozokui has listed. As our terms our mutually exclusive, I believe we are at an impasse; however if you and your LS truly enjoyed my personality and foresee non-WHM main roles being needed in the future, feel free to PM me details here; I would probably lower my standards then. I will overlook the last few posts and accept your testimonial on being a non-elitist shell. I am not sure my satire and Shozokui's deadpan humor would intertwine very well, but I do like dated movie references, especially of the Sci-Fi variety. Offline

Mini? Oh, Mini-bear? Where are you, Minimuse?
I feel disappointed that negotiations have otherwise broken down and that I have not received any further correspondence, but I would like to pitch one final proposal to your LS. Rather than joining as a full-time member, I would be willing to play WHM exclusively on a pay-per-use basis. The exact details are subject to change, but I am thinking something along the lines of 1.25 to 2.0M/gil per hour, subject to the following conditions:
While I do not care about WHM or your LS in particular that much, I am serious enough to return to Bahamut for one last hurrah, under the terms listed above or the previous plan. If you are interested, I would prefer a public response in this thread -- it is nice to have outside witnesses this time around for future accountability sake. P.S. The coffee date/interview offer is still on the table, but if you show up on a Galka or delegate Shozokui as a proxy, I will downgrade to the cheapest of beans. P.P.S. I will post my current LUA in a GitHub repository if desired. Overall, my equipment is rather frugal (No +2/3 reforged or JSE neck atm). Tigarion said: » Mini? Oh, Mini-bear? Where are you, Minimuse?

You don't need to like Shozokui. I tell him I hate him on a daily basis. We still get along famously despite our differences in language, cultures, height, humor and play style. This says alot about Shozokui's character. He is open-minded enough to take on a heretic and allow her to lead when he is unavailable. I don't know what Dreadnaught was like at the beginning when you were in, but people and LSes change as they mature and encounter newer people. Yes I was on Sylph and other servers. Minimuse was born on the now retired server of Diabolos. Diabolos was too huge by the end of 2003 so Minimuse was transferred to a new server by SE in 2004, Remora. Before Remora was absorbed by Leviathan several years later, my friends from Apathy, Exodus and Naked transferred to other servers. I have since been visiting them on Carbuncle, Ragnarok, Sylph and Phoenix. I took a chance on Bahamut when I saw that the Dreadnaught leader was an LOL DRG. Anyone brave enough to have stuck to LOL DRG has to be an interesting cat! Shozokui's main might have once been LOL DRG, but his DRG is not LOL. He plays several jobs deftly on multiple characters. You need to keep an open heart and have the confidence to be yourself whether you are a Taru, Galka, Hume or Cat. Whm, Run, Sam, Cor, LOL DRG, or all of the above. I will not compete with the guys in Dreadnaught no matter how competitive they are. I will not cuss like they do. If they want me to keep playing with them, they need to accept me as I am. I'd like to think I have taught the guys from Dreadnaught to laugh more, be kinder, keep an open mind and compete at an internal level by raising the bar for your own-self. I am confident in who I am and don't need to be validated by any of the guys. I try to do better on a daily basis. This is why I am a Heretic. A heretic possesses the integrity to follow their instincts despite the restrictions placed by society and gods. I am mostly vanilla. I help people. The closest I come to cussing is the expression Aiyah! I love to experiment and do things differently. In real life, I am an artist, musician, horticulture specialist and political strategist. I come from Hawaii, so I am very particular about my coffee. I order beans from Kona or Kauai where the soil composition creates a buttery flavored bean. I prefer to fix my own Hawaiian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese foods. Astinek from Inq and I both come from a rich multi-cultural environment so we love to share spice combinations and our love for cooking. If you want to change the world, be the change. Kindest regards, Minimuse Offline

Why don't you just save $9 and hit him up on Discord? :blobcatthink:
Tigar-san, I hope you find a good home.
Understand, that we all have our own lives and run our own businesses and may also have our own families. People do not exist to serve you because they have their own needs, family and careers. Their time is also precious to them. Even if you were a king, if you took the attitude that people exist to serve only your demands, your people will eventually depose you. The politics of getting what you want begins with you. Respect begins with you. Patience begins with you. People do not exist for you to order them around. If you need help, be kind and help others. When people help you, pay it forward. Kindness is a very powerful tool. Be kind to yourself and others. Again, if you wish to change the world so people are more helpful to you, be that change. If you want to make more money, have the perseverence and talent to work smarter and develop the connections to help you succeed. Be the change so other people are more inclined to help you with your endeavors. I wish you all the happiness in the world. Take care, Tigar-san. Warmest wishes, Minimuse Offline

We are building additional alliance teams and have more openings for: +Near BIS multi-masters +WHMs +Idris GEOs +4 song BRDs We currently have events slated in *Central American prime time around 7-8PM CST *Central EU prime time 8PM CET Dreadnaught members have fun crushing all endgame content using different strategies while/cm l experimenting with a wide range of jobs and weaponry. We argue with each other over how we can do things better and what we need to do to improve our performance. We are never satisfied with just one meta ad nauseam. Omen boss runs are handled by 3+ teams at various times of the week to accommodate whoever may need boss drops or cards. Master Trials are lead by Shozokui mostly toward weekends. HTBFs and Ambu V1 D/VD are lead by various members throughout the week. We are also starting another Aeonic Run soon. Membership treat each other like family which includes really bad puns, occasional grouchiness, outdated movie/anime references, cussing, hugging, sharing and laughter. If our fam gets out of hand, our senior officers try to deal with issues compassionately. If they don't, Minimuse will either glare at the senior officers (including Shozokui) or bake them some white chocolate macadamia cookies and discuss matters over tea like civilized gentry. If all else fails, our domesticated Viking brethren will come drink with you. PM Minimuse or Shozokui if interested in becoming part of the Dreadnaught fam. Discord: hualani (Minimuse)#7716 Shozokui#0240 /bow Hello Everyone,
Recently we've made the official leap to expand our core raid groups to support more people. DN currently runs three core raid groups, all which gather to achieve content on the weekends. Each group runs at the following times: DN#1: Dynamis - Saturday, 8pm CST DN#2: Dynamis - Sunday, 8:30pm CST DN#EU: Dynamis - Sunday, 1:00pm CST (8pm CET) We're currently recruiting permanent membership for DN#2 and DN#EU. Each of these runs is currently successful. DN#EU is progressing to obtain the Judge, Jury, and Executioner title currently. We have recently made the push towards growing DN beyond the standard 18~20 people because it's a great feeling to have a large community behind you. It really does feel like an extended family. People help each other with Ambuscade, HTBFs, Omen, and low-man aeonics to name a few. Currently we have a little bit of something for everyone. We do RNG strat, we do melee strats, we do MB strats. Variety is the name of the game. We're really looking for people who don't mind being flexible with jobs. We try not to keep any one person on a specific job for too long. Playing multiple jobs and roles really extends the satisfaction of the game. If you feel you fit this mindset and play style, we're happy to have you in the family. Reach out to me in one of the following ways: Discord: Shozokui#0240 Private Message Here on FFXIAH In-game on: Shozokui You can also reach out to Ricon or Minimuse in-game if I'm not available. Welcome to Dreadnaught International Science Lab US/EU
Team support for colleagues who: ++require gear from NMs, Omen, HTBFs, etc. ++need Ambuscade D/VD ++want new job clears in Dynamis [D] ++want Master Trials ++want Aeonic clears General Gather Times: @8PM CDT - US @8PM CET - EU Dynamis [D] Wave3 clears: DN#1: Dynamis - Saturday, 8pm CDT DN#2: Dynamis - Sunday, 8:30pm CDT DN#EU: Dynamis - Sunday, 1:00pm CDT (8pm CET) Our EU and US teams seek a few more
If interested in becoming a Dreadnaught science colleague, please PM: Science Officer Minimuse [Discord: Minimuse#7716] Warmest aloha and hugs from Bahamut's Orange Pearl Girl <3
Whilst I am principal Community Leader for Dreadnaught LS, I also help other LSes when I can and people who seem be struggling soloing NMs near me. I simply enjoy the game and a warm community environment. Even though high energy endgame escapades are exciting, surrounding yourself with a great group of friends sweetens the journey. We try to be patient and understand each other's limitations. For instance, Minimuse is dyslexic and plays mostly vanilla. Boss Cat (Shozokui) will patiently direct SCs as seen in this Master Trials video. Whenever I do recruitment drives for Dreadnaught, if people who are outside of Dreadnaught's event timezones reach out to me, I'll see if I can find them homes with another LS within their timezone on Bahamut. Currently, Dreadnaught has 3 Dynamis [D] Wave3 Clear Weekend Alliances: Saturday 8PM CDT (US1) Sunday 1PM CDT/8PM CET (EU) Sunday 8:30PM CDT (US2) During weekdays, various members lead Dynamis [D] Wave1&2 farming runs for new job clears and RPing, Omen, Ambu D/VD, HTBFs, impromptu Aeonic clears. When our work schedules allow, our most powerful members gather together to help other members with Master Trials late nights and weekends. We experiment with different job combos and theories. We are primarily interested in recruiting versatile near BIS multi-master veterans. However, we are willing to work with training a few more WHMs and GEOs working on Idris. As a community, we also play other games and even help each other understand their kids math homework on our nitro boosted Discord server. We are pretty much a family in this regard <3 Wherever you are, enjoy your journey <3 Kindest regards, Minimuse [Discord: Minimuse#7716] I don't see Cele or Mal in this picture.. my feelings will forever be hurt.

Good news is one of my neighbors has CenturyLink (ugh) and is gonna let me piggyback for the remainder of the week. DN is full of good ppl, and I do mean FULL. Not to mention muse is quite the musician which as you know, hits my heart right at home. Levi will always feel like home, but right now I'm like a country kid going to college in the big city, feels good to be on a full server.
