Ritualistic SuicideFollow

So, besides being blasphemous and a silly waste of time...

Wouldn't it be neat to get a massive amount of people with no armor on to get poison and venom potions, go to the church in Jeuno, and take them so they drop dead in and all around the church!

No?

You want to go to the most sacred place in Jueno...and sacrifice yourself on the altar of the Goddess of the Dawn???

Somehow...I don't think that is what she intended her children to do to worship her...

Two words.

(Mijin Gakure)


L'edit: Instead of making a stupid spammy most, I think I'll just provide an anecdote.

One day when I was in Lower Jeuno I saw a Mithra lying dead on the ground in the middle of the square. I thought it peculiar, so I went to investigate.

After taking a moment to allow my connection to catch up with me, I saw a circle of Taru Taru doing the /panic and /cheer motions around her. After several minutes of this 'dancing', one by one, they all used Mijin Gakure. They all died, of course.

It was insanely cute, but.. eerie.

(Um...) Isn't Mijin Gakure only usable in battle?

It's a two-hour. You use it on yourself.



EDIT: Maybe you're right about the only in battle thing. Maybe I got the location wrong. It happened in February. But I know I saw the mass-suicide. Just the location is hazy. Could've sworn it was in Lower Jeuno, though.

You might have, but not with Mijin Gakure, because that requires a target. A long time ago there was a circle of Tarus that had drunk poison potions one second after the other, and were all level 1 naked monks, so they had the same HP. You can guess what happened next.

It was....just plain freaky.

mijin gakure has to be used on an enemy, not urself. so its only usable in battle, they probably used vial of poison

either way, that had to be a sight lol.
then again, any slightly deviant thing that a taru does is pretty amusing :P

I don't know about the target thing <_<

I was in a pt in the Crawler's Nest with a NIN/WAR; after the battle he went on the other side of that small webbed hill in the first room, and there was a strange, two-part explosion; he dropped dead to the ground. He was still partied up, and disbanded only when he got to Jeuno.

Me: O_O
Tank: lol
Me: What the crap was that?
Me: Oh, wait.
Me: No...
Me: O_o
Me: What the crap was that?!

So they went on to explain that it was Meijin Gakure, which I had figured, seeing as how the guy exploded. But I have a NIN job, and the one or two times I've used it, you had to have a target. I didn't see any crawlers near him though, and more importantly no pissed-off crawlers came toward us, the allies of the vicious suicidal ninja.

I still wonder about that, to this very day. Unless Meijin doesn't draw aggro?

(I don't know how that could be, since I would be very PK'ed indeed to be some NIN's bloodwarp target practice ^^)

Like the newbie I am, I had to ask how such a suicide was done when I saw a dead Mithra, Tarutaru and Elvaan laying in front of the Bastok Markets AH. Thankfully, they were kind and filled me in with all the news. Auction House -> Medicines -> Poison and Venom Potions.

Oh yes.

I was gladly accepted in the suicide ring. Myself, those three and a new guy made our purchases, lined up in front of the AH, and timed our drinks. For some extra fun, use the /sit command before you die. Pretty funny to see someone get back up only to die ^^

And by the way, buy Venom Potions! Poison Potions kill you one HP at a time, while Venom moves in 5-10 HP increments.

I'm the FFXI David Kuresh. I've done this in every city. Two to three times a week. :o

DRG's obviously have nothing to do with their spare time. I hope to see a few of you at the next Davidian gathering.

A little bit off the topic, but still just as disturbing, I walked out of San D'Oria, and was swamped by a sea of Tarus chanting and dancing, it almost plagued me into my Nightmares... Reminded me of Carnies...
