  1. If you consider taking commissions, I might pay gil for a pixel art. I've always liked seeing animated sprites in this fashion.
  2. Drunk in the Quicksand Natalie will save the day! Buy another round?!?!
  3. Without a doubt. I will not contest this. In fact, I hinted at it in one of my previous replies. While the Syndicate have no authority to order the Sultansworn around, I am sure every Paladin is sure to tread lightly around them for the very reason that they could hold a vote and force Namano to take action and discipline them. It's a position of mutual respect. The Sworn stay out of their way, and they allow the organization to continue to exist. At the same time, if Nanamo ever grew a spine, she could theoretically order her Sultansworn to round up and kill the entire Syndicate. She could use them and literally seize back full control of the city. But she does not do this for many reasons (They are outnumbered by blades, the economy would collapse, there would be immense political blowback, etc).
  4. I believe you are not reading the chart correctly. It is not showing what branch is 'above' another. The lines do not say this branch answers to that branch in any way. Just because the Sultansworn box is below the Syndicate box doesn't infer the one is "over" the other. This is simply a chart that shows how each organization interacts with the others when martial force is necessary. In other words, it is saying the Flame General is not the General of the Sworn. He only directly commands the Immortal Flames, but can ask the Sworn for assistance. The Sultana is not in the chart because she was not involved in the discussion that led to its creation. {edit} Ul'dahn royal family, not families. It in no way infers anyone other than the house of Ul
  5. Welcome back! A villain you say? We certainly could use more of them. Hope to meet you in-game some time, though if you make trouble in my territory I may have to have a lengthy conversation in PM's in order to agree upon an acceptable compromise between our different RP styles wherein you the villain are in conflict with me the law enforcement, ending in an appropriate power struggle in-game bust some heads.
  6. I understand that as well. But also, the Sultansworn has its own blue header signifying it is a separate entity, with no black line connecting it above to the Syndicate. I think it's safe to say they do not answer directly to them. But knowing how the city is run, I am sure they could pressure Nanamo to discipline one of her guards who are making too many waves in the status quo.
  7. If you mean the chart below, the line simply says "request for aid". It does not mean they answer to the Syndicate, but that the Syndicate has the right to request the Sultana cooperate with the other branches when martial force is required. Hence, the Sultansworn did fight at Carteneau from what I've read. I don't know where it confirms that in-game however.
  8. The term "Sultanate" I would imagine as stated means the realm that is ruled by the Sultan/Sultana. You could simply interchange this with "Thanalan". She is the monarch of Ul'dah and its territory. This, consequently, has nothing to do with the political power of the syndicate. It is simply a term that defines the nation's sovereign territory.
  9. (( Of course you all decide to reply on the day I have to do field work! lol )) Coatleque blinked a few times, seemingly overwhelmed at the flood of people and voices after what was a quiet evening until then. She shook her head and looked towards Franz's outstretched hand. "For̃ty-two...", she stammered at length. Narrowing her eyes she added "An' a thumb." She smiled at Natalie as if she had just answered one of life's greatest mysteries.
  10. That's actually a pretty cool shot there. It's got everyone looking casual.
  11. All this does is remind me to be more careful of what I wear and how I pose. Last night, I accidentally my Curtana.
  12. All of that to say I can build my Novus with as little effort as necessary because all I'm after is the base dps increase for dungeons. I've never set foot in any part of coil yet, and probably never will. People will look at my relic and tsk at me as if I had put spirit gems in blue sockets versus stamina.
  13. So the real question is, can this cap be reached with all other gear sans sword and shield? If so, I'm just going to stack avoidance because I've yet to see myself "miss" anything in this game. Even before I was i100 with tome gear.
  14. Turning to Berrod she pointed accusingly at him. "Ye Paladins be way tae stuffy o'er yer personal affairs." Coatleque regarded the Miqo'te with a curiously drunken eye as he said his farewells. She waved off the 'see you next time' comment briefly. "Maester P'azih... are ye tr̃yin' tae seduce me? It'll take far more 'n fine dr̃ink tae get this armor off, I assure ye that! Bahamut 'll be king o'er Eorzea before this fool makes tha' mistake again!" Her gaze passed between the three others still sitting as if she had issued some great challenge to them before nodding to herself.
  15. This is all well and good for DPS relics. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with my Curtana. I'm guessing it's something like Strength/Vitality/Parry? I've only got two books to finish the Animus. I could have it done if I stopped all my RP and just ground tomes the rest of the week.
  16. These threads are when I'm glad Paladin/Gladiator lore is easy and unrestricted.
  17. And also this. http://cdn.meme.am/instances/500x/54609075.jpg[/img]
  18. It's still an MMO. Sorry to inform you, but just about anything they add to the game is going to be just this. It's how every MMO in existence operates. You spend money, they give you a meaningless repetitive task to do that takes twice the amount of time required for the money you spent. Then you spend more money to finish it because you're OCD. Disclaimer: The terms "you" and "you're" in the above comment are indicative of all of us, not one single person. The author is just as guilty of this same process.
  19. Explosions don't typically just happen. I'm assuming the fire started a split second before the boom.
  20. Suddenly I have a little more ambition to finish my Animus books.
  21. Coatleque blinked twice as she looked up at the sudden appearance of the men. She had not even heard the door open nor anyone else enter. Looking around the shop again her next thought was that there was a curtain or some other hidden room they were already in before the pair had arrived. It was clear they had been there for quite some time though as they seemed to know what the women were talking about. Aya had spoken up first. The tone of her voice had expressed the immediate feelings of them both. Coatleque simply looked at the men inquisitively. She slowly lowered her cup back to the saucer. "A free... what?"
  22. He's walking away from that explosion, and didn't even look back! What a true badass!
