It's not like you were in a good linkshell, anyway. I was having a bad day, and every officer (yeah, DoD has officers - kind of lame, isn't it?) in that ls, aside from Kaete, at the time swore when *dramatic pause* she was absent. I think I said "fuck" once while she was present, and she got all pissy about it. Yeah, I got kicked from the shell, and honestly, I didn't care much. Nearly every member that I even remotely liked in the linkshell still talked to me (and hell, many of them still do to this day). If your idea of a good linkshell is only being able to tell corny jokes about peanut butter, you can have fun with that. I'll stick with my linkshell that understands the word "fuck" when used appropriately. I'm not going to say, "Oh darn, I just died because this Paladin couldn't keep hate off of me." No, I'm going to say "Fuck! This newb of a Paladin doesn't know how to keep hate."
Anyway, I got kicked for the following reason:
Apparently, as a level 30ish Samurai, I was a leech. No shit I'm leeching - what do you want me to do, tank PLD AF? I helped with things that I could do, which with level 30 being your highest job isn't very much (especially considering, oh... everyone else was level 45+ - I don't recall an exact level, I just remember a lot of people sporting Brigandines). The only thing I asked for help with was a Rank 4 run, which several other members of the linkshell needed anyway.
Technically speaking, I broke a rule (that everyone but Kaete broke). Whatever, I don't care - I'm out of the shell and don't want back in. Unless you're level 75 and can only devote yourself to this crappy linkshell and worship any and all officers, then stay away. Far, far away. This is by far the worst linkshell I've ever been in, and I'm glad that I'm a member of both ThaiRevolution and LeviathansWake instead. You can call me a leech all you want. Most of my FFXI time is spent helping people do things. Just last night, I redid Riverne Site 40 Capped (this is my second time doing it to help others out - I've also done Phominua Aqueducts four times) for my linkshell, and not even a whole week ago, I walked a group of 12 people through the Sacrarium. Two weeks ago, I escorted someone to the tenth floor of Delfkutt's Tower, and I didn't even know them. Funny how I "leeched" Rank 4 and yet I've soloed it several times for many other people.
I'm not expecting an apology or a reinvite. I got kicked nearly two years ago. Perhaps your policies have changed and you guys don't blow as hard any more. When friends ask me about Kaete (or DoD in general) and I describe my dislike for her and her shell, they're usually surprised. Do you treat people outside of the shell with more respect than those in it or something? I may have liked you as a person had I never been in DoD, but after seeing the way things worked (especially the way everyone treated you like you were some kind of god - being too afraid to say anything that might even remotely offend you because it'd instantly mean they were kicked from the shell; even the first post talks about ass kissing [or brown nosing as I called it before getting kicked], which obviously must still happen), I don't think that'll ever happen.
Just be glad I'm not the leeching jackass you kicked me out of your shell for being. I'm a witness to a little act you did that is against the ToS. I won't bring you out for exactly what it is, but it isn't something dumb like, "lol i use the windower and/or fraps!!1!" You admitted it in linkshell chat, so I'm sure other members at the time also saw it. My reason for saying that is that I don't really have a grudge against you, and if I did, I have sufficient evidence (ie other witnesses) against you to gain some form of an ingame penalty.
By the way, when you make a macro, at least use decent grammar. Your convert macros suck sooooo much.
and you got kicked XD huzzah!
