OrangeLinkshell:Dynamis Division



Welcome to Orange Linkshell. This page was created as a reference for Orange Linkshell members. This site will contain various information regarding Orange Linkshell. The tabs to your left can be used to navigate through our website.

Orange Linkshell is currently a Dynamis only Linkshell. Members are however welcome to wear the pearl at other times and chat if they wish.

Orange Linkshell was created with the ideals of having fun in game while remaining competitive. As such having a good time and playing a strategic and skillfull game are and will be valued higher than accumulating wealth and items. This is reflected in our AF and currency lotting structure. You can view more on this in our Lotting Rules section.

Orange Linkshell: Lotting Rules

The following are the rules for lotting while on Dynamis with Orange Linkshell.


REVISED for ColdZones                                                                                               

In order to help combat LARS (Lot and Run Syndrome) the following Rules were put into effect on September 17, 2006. Please note that these rules are to reward members that attend on a regular or semi-regular basis. They are to ensure that the rare and valuable AF that drop from the ColdZones does not go to a first time attendee rather than a member that has helped in the past.

1) Attendance will be taken at each Dynamis.

2) This attendance will be used in determining lot priority for ColdZone AF. Cold Zones are DynamisBeaucedine and DynamisXarcabard. The regular OrangeLinkshell Rules will be used in the ColdZones with the following exception:
Lotting preference for AF in a ColdZone will be given to the member with higher attendance. (Examples Below)

3) Once a member recieves any one AF from a ColdZone his or her attendance will be reduced to zero (0) at which point the member can begin building attendance again. (Exception is Free Lots to members 70+. NO attendance loss will be applied)

4) If Two members have the same lot comment and the same attendance they will lot against eachother. The winner having her attendance reduced to 0.

5) In the event that noone has a comment for a particular AF and it drops the regular Free Lot for members 70+ will be allowed.

6) Attendance will be given even if a member must leave early or come late under the condition that one of the primary sac-holders (Lokitaru, Crystalmoon, Caid) give clearance. (This is to ensure that the reason for being late or leaving early was a valid one.) Not Valid include: 
* I wanted to lvl my 20rdm in LaTheinPlateau
* I was here for the first 10mins but my comp crashed
* I came but was asleep and afk for 50% of the run
* I just want to get the flag I know the run is over but do you have a mule that can get me in.. oh and do I get attendance for coming too
(LARS may be in your system if any of these apply to you.. seek help)

7) Attendance can be viewed here on the website in the members section.

EXAMPLES:                                                                                                                

Player Names: Rozencrantz and Guildenstein

1) Rozencrantz and Guildenstein come to DynamisBeaucedine they both meet the regular requirments for AF lotting and both want the WHM Body. Rosencrantz has attended 10 Dynamis Runs with OrangeLinkshell while Guildenstein has attended 13. They both place WHM in seek comment. WHM Body drops. Guildenstein gets lot and his attendance is reduced from 13 to 0. Rozencrantz must pass. A second WHM Body drops. Now Rozencrantz may lot. His attendance is reduced from 10 to 0.

2) Rozencrantz and Guildenstein are feeling sneaky. Rozencrantz has attended 10 times and Guildenstein 13 times. Both want whm AF but realize they are the only 2 White Mages. So they decide to CastLots on 100currency. WHM drops and becomes a free lot. since they are the only 2 White Mages 70+ they are permitted to cast lots on the AF while maintaining their comment of 100currency. Guildenstein may get 100currency and AF, but he also runs the risk of losing his White Mage AF to the more LARS afflicted Rozencrantz.


REVISED Regular Rules                                                                                               

1) Enough 1 Value Currency will be taken at the start of the Dynamis to cover the cost of the hourglass used to enter Dynamis. This will be collected by a sacholder. The cost of the hourglass is approximately 50-60 pieces of currency. Note: Occasionally there will be instances when a larger amount of currency is collected. For example: On the first Dynamis run of Orange Linkshell enough currency to cover the costs of the hourglass and the next hourglass will be collected. Also in the event that not enough currency was collected on the previous run to cover the costs of the hourglass, they will be collected on the following run.

2) 1 value Currency after the initial 50-60 currency collected will be collected by a sacholder and then divided evenly among members with the statement "1 Bill" , "1 Coin" (etc) in their search comment.

3) 100 value currency pieces will be lotted on by members with the statement "Cast Lots: 100 Bill" in their search comment.

4) Members must have a Job of LV 70+ in order to lot on AF ( A list of members main job and other 70+ jobs can be found in the members section). Please post your intended lot in your PT message. If AF drops and noone wants to lot on it it will be free lotted on by anyone with that job 70+. If still noone wishes to lot on the AF then it will be free lotted on by anyone.

Searchg comment examples: 

- BRD AF: Cast Lots -

- MNK AF - 

- 100c -

- 1money -

etc.

Note: It is not required that you are playing the job that you are lotting for. You only need to have that job LV 70+.

5) To give equal opportunity to all members involved we ask that you please choose either One Piece of AF - or - 100 value currency - or - 1 value currency per dynamis run. Yourr choice must be placed in your search comment prior to entering Dynamis. Thank you for your cooperation.

 6) Miscellaneous drops are free drops. Please do not Cast Lots on these.

EXAMPLES:                                                                                                                

Player Name: Hamlet

1) Hamlet doesn't want any AF. Hamlet doesn't want 100 value currency. Hamlet doesn't want 1 value currency. Hamlet places no comment in his seek. Hamlet gets NIL.

2) Hamlet doesn't want any AF. Hamlet WANTS 100 value currency. Hamlet doesn't want 1 value currency. Hamlet places "100 currency" comment in his seek. Hamlet gets to cast lots on 100 value currency if it drops. Hamlet doesnt get to lot on AF. Hamlet does not get any 1 value curency.

3) Hamlet WANTS only 1 value currency. Hamlet places the comment "1 Coin" in his seek. During Dynamis 100 - 1 value currencies drop. All 100 are lotted on by a sacholder.  After Dynamis the sacholder minuses 50 coins ( the approximate cost of the hourglass ) and then divides the remaining 50 coins among the members with the comment "1 Coin" in their seek. If there were 5 such members then Hamlet gets 10 - 1 value currencies. ( Hamlet can do what he likes with his 10 currencies )

4) Hamlet WANTS AF. Hamlet places the comment "WAR: AF" in his seek. Hamlet can lot on WAR AF if it drops. Hamlet does not get to lot on 100 value currency. Hamlet does not get any 1 value curency.

5) Hamlet WANTS AF. Hamlet WANTS 100 value currency. Hamlet WANTS 1 value currency. Hamlet must choose what he values most; a chance at his AF or a chance at his 100 value currency or a guarantee of some 1 value currency.

6) Hamlet WANTS AF. However Hamlet WANTS 1 value currency more. Hamlet places the comment "1 Coin" in his seek comment. Then the AF that Hamlet wants drops but noone else has this AF in their seek comment. After a sacholder verifies that noone wants it it is open lot for Jobs +70. Hamlet can now lot on his AF and possibly get AF and 1 value currency. ( This is expected to be a RARE case )
