thoughts and prayers 🙏

This is such an awesome tier to blind prog, WEW

cherish and savor the wondrous journey of fresh prog, you chuds #ffxiv

Tis the season for FRESH PROOOOOOG

Ah, heck, just realized there's a better mnemonic for my tower-relative alternate Sunrise... I might have to make it a shitpost

slightly-improved fuss-free FoF diagram.

same LP (or role) conga from the Doc to determine Conga 1234. Tethers still go odds West, evens East.

Conga players have static positions as shown.
Inactive tether is always up.
Active tether stands center if Lightning, or "more up" if Fire. #fru #ffxiv

The FoF I put together actually 100% eliminates the memory game since the Other Tether's spot is also static. It's basically compatible with NAUR Fuss-Free though.

OK turns out Fuss-Free also totally eliminates any need for a memory game. Just had multiple pulls that would've been saved by it...

another way to look at it in brief

(Fuss Free is from the NAUR discord; i just edited my diagram and am using bsky for hosting lol)

Looks like someone in the NAUR Discord has posted this "fuss-free" FoF which is congruent to what I came up with, so I'm not the only one hoping for a better world lol

Yeah I'm pretty confident this would work. Still absolutely wild how much information the doc strat expects the conga players to track

"fresh prog" listing just hit enrage in 20 minutes. #ffxiv #fru

An illustrative diagram of possible positions during FoF in Phase 1 of FRU, for the west-side tether group, as described in the "google doc" slide deck compiled by Evansith. In this (currently orthodox) approach, the conga players - after solving for one of four conga positions - must then immediately consider the elements of the other two tether players, while positioning precisely both times. This puts a tremendous amount of cognitive load on the conga players, who are forced to ingest a large number of field elements simultaneously. The tether players, conversely, only need to know their own tether number - which doesn't even need memorization - and swap between their two static positions.

An diagram of my "Conga Anchor" draft proposal. Conga players focus solely on solving the conga line to receive their own static position. (As a bonus, these positions map laterally onto the conga line.) Each Tether player takes North while on standby ("Other Tether"), but when they go "Live", they simply position based on their OWN element: Center of group if Lightning as usual, but "More North" if Fire, pointing the cone South.

hmmm... not a fan of how many moving parts the doc FoF strat has [fig.1]

drafted a probably simpler approach [fig.2] where the conga players anchor in place after finding their position, and you only ever need to know your own tether element. #ffxiv #FRU #raidplanning
