Just a quick note:

If anyone has been trying to contact me, I'm at comicon. They have wireless in the convention center, but I don't like carrying around my laptop all the time, so I won't be able to get back to people until Sunday.

And neato it was...

Also, I /bowed to Zaldon before I initiated trades. I've done it before, but just throwing it out there that a little Zaldon love (however superficial) might not be a bad idea. Turned in 7 gugrus, got the item, have 42 left over.

Final Tally: 1/372 Lik, 1/1207 Gugru, 1,579 Total Ebisu fish. Just a few short of breaking any records, but I'll takes what I can gets! Probably won't turn in both items until 10 minutes before conquest tally. I'm not taking any chances of Irmilant losing my items between now and then.

I don't hate fishing. I just hate Zaldon. And all galkas in general now. I find myself not able to trust any of them anymore, walking around with their ill-gotten saber shoots and scarves made of opal silk. DON'T ACT LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU BRIBED TO GET THOSE MATERIALS!

...I mean. Yeah. Zaldon is mean.


Anyways, here was my post for actually receiving the rod for those interested.
(Mostly copied over from another forum post)

Again, thanks to everyone here! Here are a few pics from when I picked up my rod.


This is the dialog when turning in Saber Shoot and Opal Silk.


The dialog for asking him about your Ebisu rod before conquest tally.


And of course, the big moment


An ill-timed /hurray, that I like to think looks like I'm posing with my good friend Irmy with my hand on his shoulder. Though, if you look closely enough, it looks as if I'm punching the back of his head with my fist...

Tested out my ebisu rod on some Liks. Caught a couple, and of course had a couple line breaks. Can't say just how much easier it is using it compared to Lu's, though I was able to pull them up without too much effort using only an albatross ring. When I used Lu's, I never tried it without a penguin ring, so I can't really compare experiences.


In other news, I sold the 42 leftover gugrusaurus I had to a friend of mine on Carbuncle...

...he got his saber shoot. 1/20. So let that be a lesson to everyone on Carbuncle: Buy my fish, because I don't have an ounce of bad luck left in me to give you. All my fish are super lucky.

Also! It's my birthday! (October 19th, so it is in some parts of the world at least) As part of a birthday gift, my brother decided to send me this:



Obviously I never gave him a written IOU note, but this is the interpretation he had if I were to have done just that (and then if he had edited it later). Note every single thing is misspelled because I'm a "lolGalka." So, he cut my debt in half which, because I sold all those gugrus today, I was able to pay off! So now I am officially debt free!

It's been a good day~ Thanks again to everyone! Take care!

-Nibu

P.S. When I added my Gugru turn-in total to the wiki page for keeping track of the drop rate of Saber Shoot, I made it go down a whole .1% (from .5% to .4%)!
