I found a new way to pass the time when the raid is filling. I am in a very small guild and I live on the other side of the country than the rest of the guild. This means that I am often the only one logged on.
A guild ship invite fails if the is no one on the ship.
It went something like this.
"Guild ship invite please"
"Yah sure" -Airship invite sent
"Invite failed. Try again"
-Airship invite sent
"It's not working, I don't think there is anyone on your ship."
"let me try again" -Airship invite sent
"It still didn't work. You need someone to be on the ship for it to work."
"I know that. I'm the only one logged on in my guild." -Airship invite sent
"Then why do you keep sending me invites?"
"Cause its funny" -Airship invite sent
Player xxx has joined your party
"ship invite plz"
"Yah sure" -Airship invite sent
Edit* the rest of the party was laughing at this point.
