Okay, so last weekend was a bust for 3-3 (we got several through 2-3 tho ;-) So right now we're planning on trying again this weekend. Just FYI, I wont be able to be on until Sunday (my house closed and I have last minute things to move). But if we can all be there, we should be able to bang this sucker out. Post on the mailing list if you have any time preferences or issues.

"You're damned if you do and damned if you don't." - Bart Simpson



This phrase goes back a lot farther than Mr. Simpson, but it's no less true for my generation than it was for the one that originally claimed it. Since I started FFXI I've made a lot of stupid mistakes and sometimes it just seemed like the world was against me. In an attempt to stop others from following in my footsteps I'm going to post my top three warnings (rants) that all happened yesterday.

3. FFXI Time Reference Webpages



These site are incredibly helpful. They have useful information about air/ship times, the current day, and even RS Equipment. This would be all well and good, but I didn't know the page based itself completely off of 'my' system clock. My system clock has never worked properly and I've never gone in to change the battery. So when trying to plant Deathballs I completely missed Lightsday because my system clock told the page it was 2 hours earlier. Obviously when my clock got around to getting two hours later, I had totally missed Lightsday and had to wait another 6 hours. Making me not a happy camper.
