Just wanted to set the record straight since it pertains to me.
I guess Ewok is correct, I am a "time-nazi." As one of the four leaders in our Limbus shell, whenever I could, I made sure we left Port Jeuno at our scheduled time. As many of you know, Limbus is not a complicated event. Every zone can be handled with 6 people or less. So, when we had 15 people that cared enough to be online and ready to go at our scheduled start time, there was no reason to make them wait on anyone that didn't care enough to be ready. It's not a personal thing. It's a respect thing. Maybe it's the fact that I'm the son of an army-brat. But I was always taught that you should respect other people's time - so I do. We had scheduled start times and that's when we started. If being prompt and considerate of other people's schedules makes me a time-nazi... guilty as charged.
I would never want to be the one to delay people from doing other events because I was late and I don't want anyone holding me up from other events because they're late. Many members had other events, like Dynamis, scheduled right after Limbus. They shouldn't have to be late to their other shells because someone is holding up their Limbus shell, especially when there are already enough people online to get the job done. I can't even begin to tell you how many /tells I received from people thanking me for getting us started on time. Why turn a 45-90 minute event into a 90-120 minute event?
Regarding the specific incident Ewok brought up about being kicked from a party due to being AFK, he's correct. He went AFK, we were scheduled to start, we had 17 other people ready to go that weren't AFK. So we started on time without him. I would have done it to anyone and I would have expected it to have been done to me. It's not an attack on anyone's character, it's just being courteous to the majority. I fail to see how this is drama. No one was mad, he wasn't berated, we didn't make a flame about it - we just started without him. Of course, I guess we could have waited on him instead. He might have shown up in 5 minutes, it might have been 20, he might not have come back at all. Of course, this would not only delay everyone more than it should on that Monday night, but it would also delay the Thursday run too since we now have to wait longer for the "soap" to be ready next time we gather. Or, had it mattered that much, he could have gone out to Sea before he went AFK so he'd have received the card when we killed the Flower. Or go solo/duo/low-man a card ahead of schedule.
And we did leave early on occasion. I remember two. Both times were Omega runs and both times we already had 18 people present. Anyone else that showed up after we were in Sea but before the start time, were welcomed to come on out and place bids for Homam drops. I guess they were the lucky ones. They didn't have to pay 15-30k for the soap and they didn't have to worry about fighting Omega. They got to relax for 30 minutes and potentially receive a "no-effort-required" Homam drop. I apologize to anyone that was offended by this course of action.
So in conclusion, I respect the time of other people and I made sure our events got started as scheduled. I am a time-nazi. If you wish to pursue this matter further, Ewok, you can PM me or start a new flame. Maybe call it, "Retired FFXI player flames former Limbus sack holder for 9 month old non-issue." Or perhaps we can put this "drama" behind us.
