If they're trying to cyber with your hume, it's a guy.

30 minutes after you decide to rough it w/o a refresher, invite a 6th member and start moving to camp, one will throw his flag up.
--Third Law of Refresh:
The average time for a Red Mage or Bard to LFP is .0006 seconds.
--Fourth Law of Refresh:
RDM+BRD in one party is godly.
