Still not sure how we want work currency, wootz ores, and crafting items. I think having a average for the month to be split would be a fair. That way sponsers get 300 currency per run they sponser no matter what.
Are we trying to keep wootz ores the same as lotting syth items? Since wootz ore can only drop in 2 zones its not a very clean cut issue.

I'm fine with this but what about wootz ores? If you get a wootz ore thats it or you still get a equal split of the extra currency? I would say that should be it for the run unless everyone who isn't lotting af gets a wootz ore.
Not everything in life is fair. Like those lotting in the AF2 category, not everyone is going to win a wootz ore. How would you go about splitting currency then? You'd end calculating what each person made (some would win more than one), minus AH fees, oh and don't forget the small profit from Infinity Cores and Sparkling Stones, minus AH fees of course. Also be sure to count anything the thieves stole as well, must be fair after all.
Methinks NO. Learn about the K.I.S.S. principle and embrace it. It will take you far in life.

I think it should be comment 2 win 1, as long as the piece in question can also be worn. E.g. I could pick PLD NIN to lot, but if NIN dropped, I couldn't actually lot it until it dropped down to like 60, since I can't yet wear the AF. I'd comment it in the futile hope that it actually would drop down that far. In large part how it was in DX, I believe.
I don't think it should be a "if you can wear it, you can lot it" free for all.

The reality is just too harsh... dynamis is a painfully long and boring event to do twice a week without any compensation even if we do get an LS Ghorn slightly faster. I wouldn't want to test the dedication of our members (myself definitely included) that way, especially if there's considerable risk of XP loss involved (for BLM anyway, and everyone else too depending on the zone). I definitely agree that having a relic horn in the LS would make a lot of fights go more smoothly though, and the sooner the better.

I completely agree with this. The compensation yields more willingness to attend, and it even helps provide some income for defraying costs of other events. Fewer people will skate the 50% attendance line, because they know additional runs will help themselves personally as well as the shell as a whole.

Regarding new ideas, I just thought I'd toss this out there: Have we ever considered the possibility of manaburning Dynamis?
I know a majority of the people in Ultima have BLM leveled or other jobs conducive to manaburning Dynamis (i.e. RDM, BRD, a few PLD, THF). It's been almost a year since I've manaburned dynamis myself but, from what I remember, it was an incredibly efficient and quick way to clear cities; we often cleared the entire city upwards of 45 min to an hour before kick-out time.
I'm not sure if you guys considered this at all but I thought it would be worth mentioning. I know this was definitely a no-go with DX but, seeing as this new shell will be mostly Ultima, I think it could work.
Just my two cents.

I mentioned this during our run today and was asked to post it in the forum. What would people think of having a comment-1 rule for the Northlands runs? The biggest problems with the Northlands is that in the time it takes for a certain highly-prized piece to drop, half a dozen new people will have leveled that job and are now competing against those that have been waiting for it for a long time.
Limitting comments to just one piece will force members to choose the one piece they really want, and will prevent pieces going to people who comment them secondarily simply because they're rare or they have nothing else to comment.
When literally a quarter of those in attendance are lotting RDM, another quarter lotting THF, and another quarter lotting BLM, I think we've lost the whole purpose of comments.
Thoughts?
