I finally got a day off and had a chance to pick up a couple arm shields...

This one goes out in a large part to Ssra (and everyone else who was a part of their inception.. no offense intended if I seem to neglect you, I just don't know who you are!)

I'll skip the things that have been covered and jump right to something that means an awful lot to me, and yet I've heard so little about..

Skinning!

Yep, to be able to use a shield with my scim and not have to wear/remove it every time... or with my LX not having to sacrifice defense to snag that pelt or grab that box... wow, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. It's hard for me to understand how some rangers seem to think we got the short end of the stick... we may not have every advantage that other guilds have, but we sure as heck have an advantage that suits our guild perfectly.

So, thank you all :)

You are wearing some aged leather combat armor with a faint seal over the breastplate, a finely tooled black leather battle cowl with a horned crest, a steel-banded ironwood oval shield, and some black leather gloves.

Considering all the armor and shields you are wearing or carrying, you are currently unhindered.

Hey, between the hard coding and the frequent postings (and the few interactions I've had with ya in game) it's my opinion that you've been one of the greatest assets to team DR we've had through the years. Seldom do we find someone so skilled in both IT and CS. Still, I know there's tons of folks behind the scenes that never get credit, so don't let me swell yer head like an ichor rat.

Ya done good, Finnerty.

Well, truth be told I do feel very uncomfortable at times. A lot of people help me; it's not solely my doing and I'm no more or less deserving of praise than they are. Usually every release involves at least two to three other folks. Though, don't get me wrong, praise is certainly nice when you're being sent through the ringer elsewhere.

well, being the front man on telling us, you get the blame and the credit.
Brave of you, take the praise, you earned it.

The fact that your even considering making tanning patterns for the arm models is enough to earn my respect. It is one of the only two releases I am looking forward to, next to careers (to perhaps take my career further, officially).

The arm shields rock Ssra. I didn't catch you at Vegas to tell you, but thank you thank you thank you and your team who worked on them. I kinda regret not working shield more often in the past but I'm still loving this.
