Just another day at the exp grind...

[Vyuru]

This was just too funny and I had to share my party experiance with you all

First off I should say that there was a rather nasty windstorm that day, nothing too bad, or so I thought at the time.....

So, after about 3 months, the quarter is finally over and I decide to go out and get an exp party for the first time in a rather long time. I pull out my lvl 20 sam, stick up my LFG flag, and start looking for a party. There aren't enough people to make a party LFG, so I decide to wait.

While I'm waiting, I'm talking with a friend. I mention that I'm LFG and no invites yet, and that there aren't any people to make a party with, and that I know when I decide to log I'll get a party.

Fast forward about an hour or two with a few failed solo attempts, getting drenched in pineapple juices and singed whiskers in failed synths, and running in confounding circles around people, I send a /tell to my friend:

Me: Hmmm, looks like no party tonight, allrighty then! I'm torn, I can either do the Venerer ring quest, or I can go play the new Zelda, what do you think I should do?

Chops: New Zelda > ring

Me: That's the direction I was leaning in Ok, I'm gonna log, night Chops =^.^=

Random person: Hey, do you want to join a party?

I thought that was great, exactly as the timeout timer hit 5 seconds, that person sent the /tell. So I go and join the party, and things are going well. It's a pretty good party, hunting worms and crabs and going really well. Since I used up my last charge on my exp ring, I recharged it and have another use so I'm ready for some serious exp.

15 minutes into the party, power goes out, about 2 minutes later it comes back up, great I think. I start logging back in, when the power goes out again.

2 days later, we have power again, 3 days later, the phonelines are back up.

For my first party in 3 months, I was just dying of laughter, I found the entire sequence of events too funny.

Sadly I don't think that party is still waiting for me to log back in

Makes me wonder what'll happen the next time I try to get a party. Will Mt. Rainer erupt? Will an asteroid the size of Texas hit the Earth? Find out next week!

[Jei]

ouch >.>

[Zempten]

If that ever happened to me and I got a good PT there would only be a sequences of phrases that goes along the lines of "FUCK!!!! WHY ME?!?!?! GOD DAMNIT!!!!! JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". I'm glad you can take it in so lightly ^ ^ I'm in envy

[Taskmage]

haha XD Sometimes the world just conspires against you.

WHOAH! Does that ALWAYS happen to you, everytime you start logging out, you get a /tell asking you for a xp party? (and just when you're about 5 seconds away from being completely logged out too? Good grief! )

If that was me, I'd be in 2 minds about what to do, and would be racking my brain with angst as I am forced to think very fast on my feet before I get logged out!

[Aksannyi]

This happens to me, also. I'll be just about to log off because I need to go somewhere, or I'll be too tired to even see, and I'll get an invite, whether I'm LFP or not.

I always seem to get them after I've just finished PT'ing, also. :/

When you've been LFP for a long time it sucks to have to say {No thanks.} but I've had to do that so much these past few weeks it's been ridiculous. I figure there will always be another time.

[LyonheartLakshmi]

It's rough being up all night long, with nothing to do but boring stuff like farm. And then, when I'm way too tired to stay up any longer, I get a /tell inviting me to pt. And it's a very polite Rank 10 JP. And I have to turn them down.

[Daos]

Ah, yeah, I had problems with that windstorm, too. We were out of power for only 15 hours or so, though. Luckily, I wasn't playing FF11, but the Sims 2. I lost like three (in-game) days! But I made it up later.

[Aeni]

Haha Vyuru, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

-Got an invite after 3 hours of "no go" on my RDM as I planned to logout. Get to camp only to find 3 of the party members d/c for the night, because they are friends irl and New York just got visited by the most awesome thunderstorm in years... >.>

-Got an invite on my DRK after several months of no exp and get to camp only to find the JP party had disbanded while I was enroute and no one told me (Only the nice WHM waited for me to tele me out of Ro'Maeve >.> )
