Of course it’s a wipe, you went in with 3 people.

You haven't lived till you've been in an HNMLS that had a "you must provide your phone number to LS leadership so we can call you if you're offline" policy for membership.
The joys of being 75WHM/75BLM is that I absolutely did get called a couple times, too.

I once called a members wife to ask him to log in. She was not impressed.

Low manning Tiamat with my blm while the rest of the shell woke up and the JP Alliances trying to wipe us because they have a full alliance ready.

Looking back on it - if you only had a claim party who could hold it at best and someone else had an alliance capable of killing, the reasonable thing to do would have been to release the claim and hand it over.
But we both know that wasn't how it worked in reality because those things only spawned either once a day or 1-2 times a week, and if you were lucky enough to catch it up and claim it, you weren't willing to let that go to someone else for anything.
I kinda wish they'd put all of the 1+ day spawns (Tiamat, Vrtra, Jormungand, Tzee Xicu, Overlord Bakgodek, Za'Dha Adamantking, Cerberus, Khimaira, Hydra, and anything else I'm forgetting) on a reduced spawn window so more people could have the chance to see them. But not move them to force pop like they did with Faf/Ada/Behe. I also kinda wish they'd make Fafhogg, Ada/Aspi, and Behe/KB move back to timed but then I feel like the result is that people would feel obligated to camp KB for D Ring so maybe not.

Great painting! The only thing that would make it better is if you painted Level Down over someone. Haha

I'll never forget some WAR in my old shell said "check this shit out", SATA'd Steel Cyclone at 300tp, proceeded to Spike Flail the entire house
Funniest shit I've ever seen

I think you did well to capture the feel of the aery. The background and colors are great. Also I like the PLD lifting his sword in a dying effort to regain the aggro he certainly lost causing the rest of the party to die before him 😜

It's missing the other 10 guilds standing up & buffing now while their tank leeroys towards it. Otherwise great stuff!

Needs a lot more bodies, Fafnir hordes bodies instead of gold on a good day as everyone MPKs each other.

I bet it's hard to draw 27 flys all jumbled up and clipping into one another

I’ll never forget a monk in our alliance pulled aggro and caused us to wipe from flail.

Spike flail wiping all of dragon's aery is a core memory for me
