Greetings Bismark!

My name is Catwho. You may have seen me ~~or my boobs~~ as Player of the Month here on Allakazham a few times.

One of my self-imposed tasks is the maintenance of Seraph's Dynamis and Limbus schedule. (The link is in my sig.) This is basically just a big ol' index of what times all the NA Dynamis and Limbus shells run and their websites, so that those who are considering starting a new shell or joining an old one know what is available. Seraph has always been pretty firm about keeping our schedule; in the years since I've started it, we've only had two scheduling mishaps for our own Dynamis linkshell, and this keeps the amount of endgame drama to a minimum.

I'd be interested in maintaining this schedule for the newly merged Seraph+Bismark shells as well. Inevitably, we may find ourselves overbooked for certain timeslots, and it's probably best to get all those kinks worked out ahead of time before SE dumps it all on our laps at once.

I'll probably start a separate thread with all that information closer to the merger (it could be six weeks, it could be six months, who knows.) But if we can at least get an idea of what we're going to hit when the time comes, we can be better prepared to change schedules as necessary.

That's a fantastic idea in my opinion (though I have nothing to do with anything in-game anymore and I'm just throwing that out there. :)

While Bismarck forums here on Alla used to be one of the most active, that is sadly no longer the case. I hope for the sake of this idea that someone who still plays and has a hand in this sort of thing to take notice and get the ball rolling on Bismarck's side of things.

Please don't take a non-response as rudeness, it's just that quite simply put, not many people come to these forums anymore. People do check, however it is much, much more infrequent than it once was.

Good luck!

I suspect that's one reason we were picked on by SE in particular in both our cases. Seraph is very sleepy - the most commotion we've had in the last year was the invasion of Toki from Siren (and they all got banned and then we returned to our normal schedule.)

We don't have any kind of schedule for HNM shells, but we already have issues with groups doing things at the same time. I fully intend to keep my Dynamis linkshell running through the transition, but I don't think my HNM shell is going to fare as well. Ah well, we'll see as we get closer. Perhaps there's a need on Bismark for an HNM that doesn't like to camp HNMs (we prefer to do KS99s, ZNMs, SCNMs, that sort of thing.)

I for one, would like to welcome our Seraph brothers and sisters. Maybe now I'll have some more people to play with around 3AM est when I get home from work. Also this site

is one I know of that keeps a Bismarck Dynamis schedule, so you may want to talk to someone there since there isn't much chatter here lately.

Going to be an interesting transition, and hopefully it'll go smoother than anticipated. Would be nice to see a population boost and hopefully more folks on during the late late night (3am stuffs sounds fun Tatl, but sadly my job is about to move me to an overnight schedule for several months >_<). But I look forward to it.

Sounds like Cole, Seraph's Tarutaru fetishist. Any tarus out there on Bismark: Cole is lying when he says he has candy in his mog house!

He has taru mannequins in santa tops next to his bed instead.

Oh, we get catwho. Welcome to Bismarck. You'll find that leaving out the 'c' is like adding an 'h' to Windurst. /angry mob

@Sicklove: They're coming here, WE'RE the overlords.

For the Dynamis schedule, it looks like Lunarians, Discoid, and Foreal all stopped using that, and there are probably a few smaller shells that don't use that. I guess it was more popular back when it was on the IRON / Nine Inch Ninja site. Anyways, I took the schedule, stripped the particular runs (leaving the times), and added a few other linkshells' schedules. I also sorted in order of start time in a few cases. It's a bit cleaner for when the Bismarck shells run than looking at the schedule with the week's details still there. I also have some friends I could ask for 2 more shells' schedules. I know one isn't listed, and not sure of the shell name for the other, so it might be here already.

Most of the shells on Bismarck are all-in-one, though there are a few that are dynamis / particular events. Aselin has a pretty good linkshell directory over at KI (clicky). It doesn't have social linkshells listed, though.

Anyways, hopefully the merged servers will pick up campaign and we can unlock Plucking Wings eventually, since it seems from ffxiah that Seraph hasn't been able to do that either.

Edit: adding more to this list as they come, can copy/paste it onto the foobar section as it goes. FFR was listed as 25:30 on Monday (nonsensical, but while technically 1:30 am Tuesday, its more associated with Monday).

As a Bismarck lifer, I as well welcome you guys over to the server. Hopefully we'll all be able to work together instead of shunning the new guys. If you ever need anything Smithing done, hit me up after the transfer and I'll be glad to extend my services to the Seraph crew.

Yuck . . . yeah this is what I was afraid of, the Dynamis schedules are going to be a mishmash at first. We're adding like 6 shells on Mondays alone. I suspect some of our smaller shells will probably opt to merge, either with each other or with smaller shells at similar times on Bismarck, but that could take months.

Seraph has a handful of all-in-one shells (notably Krew, Apotheosis, BtL, SOUII), but also a lot of a la carte shells that focus on one event and just do really well at that one thing.

I combined the two server schedules so everyone can see where it stands with all shells staying as-is (which catwho's probably already done herself). Formats were changed to match, and I included the server of origin for each shell. I can add unlisted shells as the info on their times arises.

Monday and Thursday look to be the worst, and Tuesday will be pretty bad. Saturday and Sunday have a lot, but they're a bit more spread out. Wednesday looks decent, and Friday is almost empty.

The dynamis linkshell directory for Bismarck is out of date, but with the merger, an update and cleaning is obviously coming. AD/Lunies are long separated (years now) so the joint entry isn't needed. Orange and rockage are disbanded, and can be removed.

Was informed that a few of the Seraph shells died over the winter, and I went and checked websites and confirmed 4-5 dead shells. I've deleted the dead ones below. So it'll ease it up a little bit. Also, one Bismark shell confirmed dead and removed.

Edit: Added 2 more. Keep em coming!

Looking at the times, some Monday shells may need to consider moving to a Wednesday evening / Sunday afternoon timeslot. It's lame, but I don't think that 10 linkshells can coordinate the 10 Dynamis zones for Monday evenings. (Not every linkshell can do Tavnazia as part of their rotation.)

Don't worry, Seraph. This place is great. There's a shout argument going on in Whitegate right now about an 18 Pup alliance that's gonna take out Kirin after the next update. Oh you'll love it here.
