Hello everyone! I am Strifer of Bismarck! Some of you may know me... and if you do... you know i love ballista, with a passion! So, i came up with the idea a few days ago to start a ballista tournament! I'm willing to take on the responsibility of conducting and setting up the ballista events. I was hoping to do one tournament for 30 cap, then 40, 50, and 60 in Diorama. My idea is having people sign up and make their own team with their friends, giving the team a name, of course. I really love ballista and I wouldn enjoy getting something like this started. So if you would want to participate in this, then post here and sign up. As soon as i have enough people/teams, i will get started in putting together the schedule. ^_^

Hey Strifer, you know I will be there. And everyone else who plays against me knows I'm an easy target. So you know you will get gate breach from me about any time you need it...lol

Well, i'm just asking if you guys are up for it, i mean, i can understand if you weren't... but this could be a way for us to get back into ballista again!!! If we just get our LS mates together or just ask some of our friends that have never played ballista... who knows, we could have the server up and running as a place to play ballista again... not just at 60 and uncapped, but all other caps as well! I really hope all of you are up for it! I just talked to Singular today, i'm pretty sure you all know him, he said he would love to come out and beat on all of us with his Monk ^_^ So if would do it, then i'm pretty sure other big shots such as Thomaswarlord (cough cough) or Aznpride (nudge nudge) or even the (or at least my) bismarkian legend of whom i owe an absolute debt to, Sinistral. They are all in really big Linkshells, correct? Maybe if we get them to play, their Linkshells will start playing too!!!

I'm glad people are starting to take interest in this :)So, does that mean i should add you to the list, as well, AesHQ? lol. So, in the case of Shykin, Deathsblessing, and Teebone wanting to join as well... as well as others i have asked in-game, then my estimate is that so far we have:

Strifer
Deathsblessing
Honda
Vaelic
Shykin
Singular
Teebone
Sicklove
AesHQ (i'm sure that's not your in-game name, lol)
Hirotic
Squah

That would make for some pretty interesting team combinations :) I suggest that most of you guys make your own teams so that we can get started with this things as soon as possible. As of right now, my team consists of me, Deathsblessing, Honda, and Vaelic. I'm not sure if anybody else would like to join, but i'm pretty sure they would, i will still ask around. As for the rest of you, get your teams together and post them on here ASAP... It doesn't have to be four people like my team has... your team can consist of anywhere from 1-However many you want. This is how it will work, though. Let's say, just for now, that Shykin, Singular, Teebone, Sicklove, Hirotic, Squah, and AesHQ decided to form one team as well... that would be good, except my team only has four people right now, so Shykin's team would choose four people to participate in the match. Then, the next match, Shykin's team would again choose four people, but this time, make sure that it is the three people that hadn't participated yet, and then another that you all can agree on. This way, i plan on getting everyone to participate in the game. While your making teams, invite your Linkshell members! It worked for me in my old Linkshell, and it will work for you if you ask and show them this forum. More than likely, if they are your friend, they will agree. More than half of the people i played ballista with in my old LS had never played ballista before and ended up liking it! So, just encourage them to take on this wonderful opportunity ^_^

GL on your tournament though, it seems like a good idea for those that do play.

Too bad FFXI in general is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WoW

If you like PvP sure, go to Guild Wars or WoW or something. FFXI isn't great at it. Hell it's not what FFXI was made for. It's their first attempt at an mmorpg and they stuck with that they knew, the RPG aspect. I'm not attacking WoW, just stating my opinion for the tards ready to ratez0rz me downz0rz omgz0rz i don't carez0rz cuz i r 1337.

...and I R Baboon..haha been wanting to say that for a while.

Gamion is absolutely right, that isn't what FFXI was made for... and if they stuck to Warcraft's Genre, that's not how WoW would be, either.

Anyhow, if you are interested, i really do encourage you to join. Guess i have to keep saying that, huh? lol

30 cap is ruled by a bunch of 30 blu/nins.
