LINKSHELL NAME: The Company of Nightfall's Favor (NightfallsFavor)
WEBSITE: Currently none
ALLEGIANCE: Any, predominantly Windurstian
NUMBER OF MEMBERS: 5 regular members, 5-10 part-time members (who either don't play often, or have other Linkshells)
AVERAGE LEVEL: (Mid-upper level) with a lot of members on new jobs.
RECRUITING: By scout, but not actively
REQUIREMENTS: good overall attitude, good game ethics, Roleplayer (not necessary, but enjoyed), team player (but we respect those who prefer to solo), all levels welcome.
A forwarning: In case it offends you, we DO use profanity, not heavily, but we do. S/E was nice enough to include a chat filter (albeit a flawed one) if needed.
This linkshell is, for the most part, very casual. We do level grind, occasionally, but not to the point of being insane. Certain times are heavy, on chat, while we're crafting, or farming, or whatever. We have many members (and allies) who are glad to lend a hand, doing missions, escorts, or teaching stuff, but we are not babysitters or a powerleveling service. A few of us have also begun a kind of "crafting support group", where we'll help each other out, gathering or crafting needed materials or items.
As for linkshell activities, we don't do as many, as we would like, mostly due to timing issues. Often times we will run in small groups of 2 or 3 doing various quests, or missions. We do BCNMs, ENMs, Nyzul Isle, and occasionally NM hunting. As our schedules stabilize more, we will take more time to do random things. In addition, we are working on getting some of our members finished with CoP, and a second group through the early parts of CoP. We have active people doing various points of all the expansions, if anybody wants to jump in at a point.
CODE OF CONDUCT:
Dishonorable practices WILL NOT be tolerated! (including MPK, Gil buying/selling, casinos, or malicious treatment of another player. We had enough issues with our "Tarutaru mischief squad" trying to take over the world (again!). If I, or any of my co-founders catch you doing any of that stuff, with OUR pearl up, I'm gonna shatter it... period! Though it happens rarely, we prefer not to see prejudice or racial remarks used. It's bad enough it still exists, in real life, lets not drag it into here, too.
Contact Info: Send a /tell to Kestra (Berselius, Morlenkheren, Heartfire, Crystaljohn), Lunaria, or Nuni.
THE COMPANY OF NIGHTFALL'S FAVOR: HISTORY
This linkshell was originally created, by me, as a personal shell, for myself, and my real-life friends. Its name is sentimental, for a few of us, who play D&D together, as it was the name of our adventuring company, which included, among its roster, Crystal John, the Bard.
My shell stayed pretty much dormant, for a long time, since we were all part of a much larger linkshell. I made lots of friends, while in that linkshell. Eventually, however, subtle drama, and dissention began to creep into its ranks, ultimately leading to its demise (PerfectEssence: rest in peace)
I logged in one day, to find over half the people gone from the linkshell, discovering that a large portion of them had broken off, and formed their own. In an act, of what I can only call desperation, I mobilized, and salvaged what few people I could gather, still in PerfectEssence, and brought them over to NighfallsFavor. I made a lot of friends, and didn't want to lose more of them. Sadly, several people left in the wake of "the split" all but vanished, afterward. Our linkshell was given life! It was now bustling with activity, and new hope, as we began to add members, old and new, and friendships and alliances were forged. In time, Fionchadd and Duells began scouting out new members, here and there, adding some fantastic additions to our group.
Then, something amazing happened! The "other linkshell" dissolved. Drama seemed to have followed them, unfortunately. It was to our advantage, though. While a few of their members left the group, and eventually, the game, the rest of them came home, to Nightfalls. We were united, once again! All our friends had come back together.
In its current form, NightfallsFavor is flourishing, nicely. Our various members have gotten some interesting reputations, here and there. We're like a family, here, and this shell is our home. Some of us have formed a static group, and have begun Artifact hunting, recently. We have players in every job, craft, and Race, so lots of variety. NightfallsFavor seemed to have, over the months, formed a loose alliance with a few other social shells. Some of our members had pearls, for them, and some of theirs, for us. We often wound up doing various group activities together. We have also formed alliances with a lot of freelancers, who have been a major driving force in our progress. I, personally, owe them many thanks for all they've done for this linkshell.
Sure, we're not the biggest, the most elite, or even the most recognized linkshell out there, but we ARE out there. We're coming up, in this world, and you'll be seeing a lot of us around. Keep an eye out, for the dark purple linkpearl.
Edit: Updated some stuff
Edit: Had to correct a lot of punctuation errors, because some gremlin decided it would be funny to replace all my apostrophes, and quotation marks with question marks. ><
