Favorite Moments in Bums History

Fatman's Moments:
- Harmonia accidentally breaks her hnmls by tossing the pearl because the temporary dynamis pearl I made was same color
- When Teorem who is ALWAYS very serious and professional when doing dynamis says on linkshell chat "The power of Holy bitches".
- The time we had to cancel Dynamis-Windurst because Bune was up...
- After Saintpal got 7 AF (3 more than anyone else) someone informs me he quit the linkshell because our lotting rules suck
- Sykes calls A GM because city run is more than half over and no AF has dropped. The GM informs him he is turning AF off for asking.
- Cyrus proclaims to all that Effigys in Bastok do not drop AF. Moments later the Effigy we are fighting drops AF.
-Teorem obtains full set of free lot Dragoon AF!
- Fatman tells the linkshell he is trading glass to trail markings. Moments later he realizes he forgot to buy the glass.
- Duk
- After yelling in linkshell for melees to move down the hill away from the big group of Nightmare Dhalmels to fight over and over, Fatman finally says: " Let's try Tarzan, Me melee, me move down hill, me good melee". Melee immediately move down hill away from Dhalmels.
- Lycender announces that he is going to /random the secret number which only Fatman and Sykes know is 436. A few minutes later Lycender arrives at the Trail Markings and /randoms a 436.
- Some drunk guy he never met stumbles into Fatman's apartment then room and crawls into his bed with him, as Fatman wakes up police storm into his room and arrest the drunk guy! (OK not a dynamis moment but damn that was funny)
- lolDragoon

Izzy's Moments:
- Cuc
- Fatman explaining to us one run how he used to drive by kids listening to techno in his van, hop out, grab their discman and smash it on the cement in front of them. Then hop in the van and drive off.
- Teo and I were about to pull the eye triangle for Caclax's weapon shard. Teo calls time for :00 and I'm ready to go, but I slip off one of those small ledges in the ground and slide into aggro about 3 seconds early. I aggro every eye and I think Teo got a little angry. Luckily for me, Halon swoops in and grabs the extra shit and runs it toward Teo.
- A couple runs ago at Qufim, there was 5 mins left, and we still had to kill Suttung and Anteaus. Some asswad Taru bought all the icarus wings from Teo's bazaar so we had no wings OR time to finish the zone. Aspir and I devise this awesome plan to pull Suttung to the group without linking the goblins. I send Araut to aggro the goblins when i see Aspir coming with Suttung, however, there's like 10 snolls behind him too. So I quickly diaga all the snolls and run off to the side and manage to not hit suttung. Aspir made the pull to the group and we killed Suttung AND Anteaus with 30 seconds remaining.
- Fuuten trading 1,000,000 gil to the markings to try to get a glass.
- That same Qufim run as listed before, I tell Tickles to come RDM/DRK. She gets in the zone as RDM/DRK and looks at her magic menu, and realizes that she never used the scroll of stun on her DRK. She goes ALL the way back to her mog house, runs ALL the way back and tries to use her scroll. It wont let her. Turns out, she didn't have her subjobs yet, so "Stun" did'nt show up in her magic menu yet. She didn't tell me for like 4 days because she was afraid I was gonna call her a noob. (Now everyone knows ahhaha)
- One run, Zym and I are meeleing the extention statue that pops after the Xarc NM's are dead. Teo walks by us and see us, then says, "Do you guys do this every run >_>" Well Teo, yea we do Q_Q.
- So, after Epedemicoptikz left DB for another LS, a couple members went out infront of their LS waiting at Dynamis - Jeuno markings. We all swiched to Taru mules if we weren't already Taru, and proceeded to die in a big heart in front of them while Fatman and I sat in the middle. Then we all reraised at the same time and left for Dynamis.

- Kneeling to Carson. (Fatman made us stop Q_Q)

Izzy's New Additions:
-Just last night I was saying how Lau wins every single thing he ever lots on with a lot of 900+ and he was arguing that he had terrible luck. A piece of AF dropped and I said, "There you go Lau, have at it." He lotted 960 I think...
-Zumi telling us about his wicked disgusting health teacher and the two guys sent in to promote safe sex Q_Q
-Tickles accidentally teleported Kintix and herself out of a run during a wipe because she hit the wrong macro...good job winner!
-The time Sykes and I got tanked during the Dynamis - Jeuno drinking game...I think Yuna might have been involved as well. That was the first night I ever drank Heineken...it tasted like skunk.
-I swear I got another "The power of holy bitches." out of Teo Q_Q
-Getting Mjollnir ^.^/

See you in another 6 months!

[Sephffg]

It's nice to see you've taken a chance to digitally masturbate on the forums.

We always used to do it every 6 months. Jerks who don't play anymore aren't allowed to be jerks.

[Jayiiq]

Anyone else notice that this is almost 3 months late?

Oh, and Artamaeus is an original member that is still active, although he did take a very long break.

[Andhalas]

yay I win some awards! I guess 4 EES last night count! oh where is the hundred fist!?

It's a month and a half late. I had forgotten all about it. Just gonna stop doing it if people are constantly dicks lol.

[Jayiiq]

Always fun to see these stats. Especially the 1800 AF received over the years.

The fact that I pointed out that we're nearly as close to four years as three and a half doesn't change that fact.

[Neosutra]

I dont aggro things in dynamis, things in dynamis aggro me :mad:

[Gryffyn]

No, no, keep posting it! Reading one of these threads a couple years back helped convince me to apply to DB. I'm very glad I did, too, even if I haven't gotten my name listed in an awards thread yet. :p

Seph's not playing again? :(

[Sephffg]

Sephffg lapsed into non-existence at the end of February.

[Carmisse]

work hard o_o-b


hahaha

[Andhalas]

yes annie o_o-p

[Spunkymage]

These used to be funnier when the majority of them weren't written in first person. o.o-p

[Sephffg]

EXACTLY!

[Izzy]

You guys are huge fucking assholes o_o-b

Do them yourself next year.

[Carmisse]

I don't see any of you guys stepping up and doing this three months ago. Yeah it's late and yeah it's in first person. You want to rewrite this Spunky? I'm sure it'd be a lot funnier since you won't do it in first person! You're probably too busy though :(! But not busy enough to comment on the way it was written I see!


Honestly.


:rolleyes:

[Teorem]

Ok, everyone take a moment and step back.

First, I want to say that I appreciate the time that Izzy spent putting this and the last few semi-annual summaries up for the last couple years. I know I don't really have the time to do this, and if I did, you'd probably be getting it sometime in late July instead.

But the point of this thread, which I really hope no one is missing, is to demonstrate to everyone that DynamisBums--after over three years of existence--is still running strong and flourishing as a linkshell. There are not many linkshells in FFXI on all servers, Dynamis or otherwise, that can boast the same accomplishment.

Not only is this linkshell successful due to the effort of all of our leaders and contributing members, but DynamisBums has played a pivotal role in the development of other linkshells of just about every other server as well, with the strategies we refine with your efforts and that of other linkshells on other servers that help us too.

Every six, or seven, or eight, or nine months we try to put up something nice and clever to show everyone how that work is paying off. Sometimes the jokes are hit or miss (or miss, because I certainly didn't say that again Izzy), but I really hope no one is losing perspective here just from the content itself: DynamisBums has, is, and will be continuing to accomplish great things in Dynamis as long as everyone is willing to put the effort into it.

As far as the criticism goes, well, remember that delivery also affects what you're trying to criticize, and make sure you're being constructive with what you're saying. I think everyone is taking the points just a little too seriously, when the whole point was just to have a little fun. If you have enjoyable moments of your own, put them here for everyone to see!

Thank you everyone for your hard work in making our linkshell great. Even though I've only been to a few Dynamis runs myself, I can confidently say I'm looking forward to a few more and that the bar we're setting for ourselves is only going higher.

I have two dynamis moments to share (one I missed unfortunately but it became legend!)

1) A certain linkshell LEADER breaking into an intoxicated rendition of "I'm just a little black rain-cloud" (as in the song from Whinnie the Pooh) on vent

2) Teo finally caving into to peer pressure to get on ventrillo for a Dynamis run, only to cock-block us all by not having a mic. (well either that or we scared him with our casual, yet disturbing, banter)


3) Being denied an MPK of Izzy by Tornrage (lucky punch BASTARD! >_< )

Who did that?

[Papillion]

I've always liked the anniversary posts.

They are fun and it's good to go back and remember some of the best times in dynamis.


Keep them coming :)

[Phryn]

This shell has always been awesome, i'm so glad i'm a part of it and cant wait to see my name on that list one of these years :D (hopefully not for doing something bad! lol!)
