Chains of Tobatobu
Sun ,02/04/2006Every person in a linkshell is an element in a chain. That chain is only strong as it’s weakest link.
Yesterday in Dynamis we failed to defeat the Dynamis Lord. Not the easiest task to say the least.
Today, our linkshell had several troubles in sky.
We lost valuable members because they had things to do. Blame went to them when things went wrong.
We wiped while fighting Motherglobe. We managed to recover and win.
We failed to reconize who was doing what while traveling to Byakko. Everyone seemed to have their own agenda.
When we finally fought Byakko, we didn’t mesh correctly. Several things went wrong in battle and we failed.
Do I blame a single indiviual for any of these problems? No.
While every chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link, there is more to it than that. When setup correctly, each link is required to minimal tasks. It is at this moment, that everyone has only a single task, that everyone can do so much more.
I believe these people were were trying to do more, yet they had neglected to maintain their basic skills.
I think everyone needs to look at this failure. Realize what went wrong. Did they do everything that they were supposed to do? Was there something that they could have done differently in order to recieve a better result while maintaining that simple goal.
Some people do not take failure as lightly as others. Some take it personally. Others blame each other. Sometimes you just need to realize that you are having an off day.
