/sigh well like Godpoing said in LS chat earlier, "Bout time we get another flame going." -.-
Anyway, being in BoL there's some points I've agreed with in this whole conflict and some I don't agree with.
#1. Busta I don't agree in you using your Baby as an excuse. Common sense really, I'm not a parent myself, but a newborn baby WILL take up your time, and like most ppl agree here, RL > FFXI. However, common courtesy would be to at least give us a heads up or something around the lines of, "Guys my new baby will definitely take up alot of my game time, but I'll let the LS use my Tunic, and when I come back to being more active, you can give it back to me." Instead you left it as, "I'm not gonna be less active now because of my newborn baby." and just disappeared with the tunic.
Many ppl that are in a God LS here can agree that a shining cloth/nobles tunic is bascially the "Fruit of labor" of it, and if one can't live up to it or have to take a break or something, have the common courtesy and "lend" it to another whm you trust in your LS that doesn't have one so the LS can utilize the tunic still in your absence if you will be gone for an extended period of time.
I mean look at Pheebe/Pheona, she wanted to play her Monk more, and she had a tunic on her whm, but tho she was on her monk more than her whm, she lended the Tunic to Geneviene. Yeah Pheona had gotten her WHM AF2 body piece, and could've sold the Tunic, but did she? No. She had the common courtesy to the LS to let a whm that didn't have a tunic she trusted use it to help the LS. The tunic is still Pheebe's but since she doesn't use her whm as much and plays on mnk more, she still lended it to a whm w/o a tunic to help the LS.
