Nothing better than getting Orebonne on roulette while you're leveling a job you're not good with.

I'd run Orebonne exactly once ever, months ago.
(Still thinking I'm probs gonna be offline soon. Didn't lie about that. Things are rather up in the air right now though. AT BEST I'll be online until the end of November before dropping off, but I suspect it'll be sooner, maybe much sooner.)
Will look for another FC when (if) I ever have a chance to play again.
In fairness, he's actually been pretty helpful in the past, though he's not the most "sociable" person, so I'm actually willing to write it off as a fluke. Still, it's hit *really* bad given the context of everything else going on in my life. I meant it when I said I didn't need this today.
But yes, I've left. And blocked this guy in particular.
And this person is yet a higher officer than me. He was like the third-in-command. (Top three are all the FC Master's longtime friends. FC Master themself is a good person, but I have no illusions they'd side with me over this guy.)
Yes, I've been in the Company for over a year and have worked my way up to a top officer myself. I was in the top...six or seven, I think, humans in an FC of 500 characters. Overall it's been great. Not completely free of drama, but with very little.
And yes, I *really* didn't need this today.

(Will keep the details to my main account, but suffice to say I'm probs going to be offline again, very soon and probably for longer this time. Life sucks.)
Shout-out to the officer in my FC who just tried to manslpain Triple Triad to me.

They’re all great, but that fourth one is incredible!

I will probaby be too busy to keep up with Elftober next week so I'll be liking and lurking from the shadows!
In the meantime, please watch over this elf for me!
I don’t have any new shots, but Oryn is on the ace spectrum. (She’s demi, but in her line of work that’s tantamount to completely ace.)
HAPPY ACE WEEK (fr this time)

Maybe this is the reason why I'm not that cool anymore. Here, take my cool elf badge away. This is now the Ishgardian butt~ler account 🧐🎃
Look at this silly goose with his silly costume 🎃

Haha, despite having replies and QPs disabled, these posts are currently the second-most-liked posts I’ve ever made on this account. Beaten only by that DRK shot I posted the other day, and more liked than my reactions to the culmination of ShB.

People seem to relate to this!
I have ranted about this incessantly on other platforms, but I once again reiterate that a team which gets barely half the objective points as another team, should not be able to stomp so hard in an objective-based mode. If they win at all, it should be close.
I know SE doesn't give a shit, but Frontline used to be one of my favorite activities in the whole game - and it's just over the last 1.5 series that it's devolved into this shit every single game.
If two out of every three players in a given game aren't having fun, that game mode is a failure. If it were a one-off thing, I might even laugh about it - but when it's every fucking game, it fucking sucks.
Because this is how every gd game goes these days, and at least two of every three players are not having fun. (Personally, I would've found it unfun to be on Blue here too. A complete rout is unfun for me no matter which side I'm on; I'll *always* take a close loss over a rofl-stomp win.)
Alternatively, if what SE and the players want is a Deathmatch, fine. But call it that. Get rid of objectives entirely.
