As Brd:
1. If my flag is not up, I'm not interested in a party. Please leave me alone. I even keep a /seacom up constantly. Read it.
2. Bring sneak oils and prism powders. I'm a Bard, and I have about 150mp. Your needing sneak/invis is not my problem. And no, I have no songs that give Sneak/Invis. (you would not believe the amount of people that actually still ask that)
3. It has been mentioned before, but please voke my mob after I sleep it. There is nothing I love more than being out of party range while pulling, and having three members of my party chasing after me because they didn't manage to voke the mob properly before laying into it.
4. If you are PLD, and you want Ballad, then I expect you to compromise, and line yourself up with the Mages so I can get my Ballads off on you. If you can't manage that, tfb. I've got three other songs and pulling to also worry about.
5. @melee: I am not a short order cook. I ask at the beginning of the party if there are any particular songs that you need. In normal situations, this typically translates to: Choose two from the Minuets, Marches, and Madrigals, or Mambo. I don't want to hear 4 different Etudes, and Ballads, and March and Madrigal for the DRK. Work it out, or you are getting Minuets.
6. I am willing to find my own rep, but you must be prepared to settle for something other than Bard. No, I don't ask Bards that don't have their flags up; No, I'm not going to party an additional two hours waiting for another Bard. I give 30-45 minutes notice, and I have to pull. Work it out, or we disband in 45 minutes.
7. I've been doing this a long, long time. I'm certainly not the best Bard out there, but I can do what needs to be done. Please stop hounding me if things are not happening the way you would have them happen in your 'ultra perfect get all the chainsomg' world. I am not your automoton. If you don't like it, then boot me. I can assure you I have no problems finding other parties.
8. Please give me 5 minutes or so to acclimate myself to the party setup. I'm not a burn onry Bard, I actually enjoy the challenge of using my job in many different situations. Please be patient, and give me a chance to get my timing down, before you start whining.
Oy...tee hee
