Hi everyone,
Here is a rundown of the new rules in effect as of tonight's hunt. They will be run over again at tonights meeting any questions/concerns will be fielded at that point.
New Priority Lists
From now on there will be 4 priority lists to lot on items. They are as follows:
Shining Cloth List
This list will remain the same as it previously was. The Whms on it have not changed and have been waiting a long time. Any new whms will automatically join this list at the bottom.
Osode List
This is a new list and is only open to the following jobs at this time:
MNK
SAM
RNG
NIN
WAR
If you opt to join this list, we will be randoming tonight to set the intitial priotity order. Once this order is set, it will work just as the Shning Cloth list does.
Kirin's Pole List
This list is open to all those who can use it. Priority list will be made tonight through randoms and will workjust as Shining Cloth and Osode lists.
Abjuration List
The abjurations will now be given out in a rotating order. The inital order will be made tonight. Instead of randoming for an item before gods, the person highest on this list gets first priority on the item in question.
Once someone exercises a lot option, they will fall automativcally to the bottom of all lists that they are on. You can be on multiple lists, however, once again, exercising a lot option on any list autmatically drops you to the bottom of all lists.
There will also be no restrictions on what you can lot on through the ABJ List. Thus, when you get to the top position in the list, you will be able to lot the one item you want the mist from sky, no matter what it is. You just have to be patient and wait your turn.
Here are some examples of how the new system will work. To make it easier I will use a list with only 5 people. Lets ay afer randoming, the list looks like this:
Thething
Franticlemming
Excelcia
Yellowzm
Mystical
Now at genbu, lets say we are deciding who gets Genbu;s Shield and fran exc and myst all express an interest. Fran would have the first choice. If he executes his choise and the shield drops, the list will now look like this:
Thething
Excelcia
Yellowzm
Mystical
Franticlemming
If the shield does not drop, the priority list does not change.
Hence Thething can choose to never execute a lot option till he gets to Kirin and can use his top spot to get his W Legs. At which point he would fall to the bottom of the list and Exc would be in the #1 spot.
Using this method we believe that, at the very least, every single person will get the one item they most covet in sky, whether its for their main job, secondry job, or becasue they like looking at an abjuration that is uselss to them in their safe. As far as we are concerned, when you are #1 the choice is yours. And at some point, everyone will be in that #1 spot.
Ofcourse there is an advantage to being on the bottom as well. You will be able to lot any abj that fall through the list and only have to drop a couple of spots. So though you may not get the abj you want the most, you will get the most abj. I fnoone wants to ecercise a lot option, as always, the item will go to free lot.
LS Bank
Excelcia will be running the LS Bank again. As we are no longer using points, the bank is not for members to get gil. It will be used to buy members the cursed gear for any abjurations that they obtain through Spam. Ofcourse, this is dependant on us building up our bank again, which we hope to accomplish rapidly through good rops and Dynamis. Members who have already received abjurations and have not used them will be given a thread to post in. Once the bank has enough to cover all new cursed armor requests, we will be honoring the existing abjuration owners' requests for cursed gear.
Strikes
Strikes are still in existence. They wil lbe given at any leader's dicretion for the following actions:
Not coming to sky when you are logged on.
Communicating with other Sky shells in say or shout in a disrespectful manner.
Refusing to follow a leader's directions.
Strikes will result in you dropping 3 spots in the priority lists per strike,
You will be penalized for missing 2 consecutive hunts by not being allowed to lot on the next Gods night. You will not lose your spot on the list. But since you have not contributed to obtaining pop items, please do not expect to get the drops.
Dynamis
Elbryan will be heading our new Dynamis Shell. It is not mandatory to join. It will be open to Spam and non-Spam members alike. Please see Elbryan tonight if you would like a pearl.
Saturday will be Event Night
Starting shortly, we will be starting a by request event night on Saturdays. We will choose a seperate leader for this night. If you would like to be considered for the position, please let us know. This night will be used for events like Rostrum Pumps, AAx5, Ying-Yang Robes, etc.
Leadership
Excelcia remians the sole leader of Spam. He will be back full time to run sky himself in the middle of March once he has settled his real life.
He will be assisted in sky by Thething and Franticlemming.
Elbryan will head up our dynamis shell. He will be choosing sack holders to assist him with Dynamis.
A leader will be chosen shortly to head up our Saturday event.
And, as for myself. I have been given the charge of reorganizinf Spam in the aftermath or Monday's events. I will be representing Excelcia in the shell in the interim till he returns, which should be very soon.
I hope that you like the new ideas that we have as much as we do. We hinestly believe that this reorganization wil lead toa more fun, effective Spam and will clear up a lot of the issues we dealt with in the past. If you have any questions/concerns please bring them up in the LS tonight at 10PM est.
