Favorite Moments In Dynamis

Usually at this point the person writing our yearly review adds their favorite moments in Dynamis over the last year(s). Instead, I open this section up to everyone to post and add the entertaining memories you've had over the time you've time spent with us, so that someday you can come back and remember how unique of membership and environment we had in this linkshell.


Conclusion

I want to thank everyone for their hard work and dedication that has made this linkshell successful over the last five years. There aren't many linkshells--much less event linkshells--in FFXI that can even boast being alive for this long, and we owe it all to those who go out of their way to make our events successful, efficient, and fun. Thank you to all of the leaders, all of the volunteers, and to every member who not only takes the time to attend Dynamis (or even do work outside of the game), but also puts in the effort to do their job well and places the interests of others ahead of their own.

I know we are all looking forward to a successful and productive sixth year ahead of us!

[Halon50]

Yay I'm a Tineye! And aluminum? Which I think clears out your metallurgic reserves?

[Ruball]

wow thats a very nice post

[Papillion]

One of my favorite moments in dynamis is when Riloth used a scroll of Instant Warp instead of an Icarus wing while fighting DL. ^^d

[Carmisse]

Oh MAN! I have quite a bit of "Favorite moments!"

I didn't know Dave and I whored the most EXP scrolls.. booyah!!!

Icky white border aside:

^-^!!! I don't have many good pics because everytime I pew pew I think "WHEE!!!" and forget to take pictures. Q_Q Thank you everyone for the help and everytime I see us working together and the runs are going smoothly, I don't even know how to describe it... it's a pretty good feeling to know that everyone is on top of their game! Being finished with the bow is a really nice feeling two, and I would rank them both up top!


I think this is a cute moment:
http://www.dynamisbums.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=135&stc=1&d=1246212745

Anyone spot the fail elvaan w/ Ochi kote instead of NIN AF2?!?!?! What a weird day that was!

hi
http://www.dynamisbums.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=133&stc=1&d=1246212745
:Q!!!

A pretty fail moment: Accepting secondary-priority on PLD AF from Xarc, only to be trumped by 20 other bodies dropping AFTERWARDS. Accepting that priority wasn't what I really wanted to do, and only to have the stupid item rain from xarc didn't help! Everytime I see it drop now I think "Yep coooooooooooool" in a very bitter way! But also with a hint of amusement of course!


I have so many more dynamis pics but I cant really post them all. Post your pics too!


P.S. Nice pie charts Teo, I found them very informative and amusing!! hahahaha

[Izzy]

Awesome work on the post Teorem, I like the award names.

So many favorite funny moments from dynamis.

1) anytime I don't make Teorem curse.
2) anytime I make Izzy shout.
3) anytime I burn a mnks 2hour and he doesn't kill me after cause some noob melee woke him.
4) when the wrong 2houring mnk gets slept and I have time to go to the restroom >.>.

and OMG yes the broken run with people telling the GM how bout some bard and damn if it didn't drop.

May we continue to have as much fun in dynamis as ever.
Thank you leaders for taking us on this incredible ride.

[Teorem]

Feel free to add pictures, but if they're HUGE pictures (ie., greater than 800x600) that would cause scrolling outside of a reasonably-sized window, use the IMGW tag to fix the visible size.

Usage: image_url
Example: http://domain.com/yourimage.jpg

This example sets the image to a width of 800 pixels. To see the full-size image, you can just click on the image in the post and it will open up in the browser window.

I don't have screenshots, but Radav getting everyone to go die to Jormungand was a fun day.

Papi, those numbers are deceptive as I have more like 15-20 levelled-into and Carm has around 10-12.

[Eleidon]

Dynamis-Qufim is such a lonely place. Poor Antaeus; he wants to love, but he can only express his emotions by hitting people in the face with Trebuchet.

:(

[Acko]

I don't have any moments to share really, but wanted to say thanks to the leadership of Dynamis Bums.

Many LS's have come and gone, and many go because the leadership is lacking, the longevity of DB is easily the result of strong leadership.

The LS would not thrive without it's many contributing members, but everything starts at the top and I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work, the awesome website and the many many sac pulls, even though some of those sac pulls weren't meant to be a sac.

We'll all look for Teorem to start the new "Insert event name here" Bums when the equivelent event is ready to be conquered in FFIX. More sleepless nights, another website to develope, fun fun fun.

Congrats to all, and let us hope we're not playing in 5 more years. ;)

huh?

[Halon50]

Meant Tickles. I get animated avatars confused sometimes.

[Zumi]

Heres something funny from this year. Izzy and I was both on PLD. I get charmed by a BST and Excalibur procs on him.

http://www.dynamisbums.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=136&stc=1&d=1246324174

[Gryffyn]

This is really going to date me, but while laughing at Zumi's post, I was having total flashbacks to Elric and his cursed runeblade Stormbringer. :D

[Andhalas]

woot 2 awards! electrum and bronze! wish in better rl situation! should be higher!

I should be in that ninja screenshot! :(

My Fav moment is when I astral flow missed me and killed a taru that just right in front of me when we both recovering from weakness XD

Thanks for the leaders and everyone that make this happen! Looking fwd for the next year award! Hopefully FFXIV won't kill us <_<;

Awesome anniversary thread!

[Miraun]
