Shadows of the Mind

So I'm spending my day in whitegate lfp on THF as usual when I see a particular shout that catches my interest.
Paladin: ISNM {Jade Sepulcher} {Do you need it?} uncap 1/6
Fuckin' sweet, may as well make some cash since it doesn't appear I'll be getting an invite before I have to log.
Venlo>> {Please invite me.}
So over the next couple minutes we manage to find a RDM, BLM, RNG, and MNK.
Everyone gets ready, we head to Jade Sepulcher, and begin the carnage. The plan was for when it uses boreas mantle; red mage casts sleepga, black mage thundaga3s them, we continue with the fight.
The first few runs go fairly smoothly, with an unlucky death here or there, and a few mild screw ups, but all wins. Particular notice went to the ranger, who didn't seem to speak very much English. And when I say speak English, I mean have an IQ high enough to not be considered handicapped.
As my luck would have it, I end up getting lotted for last fight. No problem, right?
(Venlo) Everyone ready?

No the fuck wonder the Paladin died, the sleepga wasn't even in the area.
And guess whose fault it was that he wasn't.

At this point, all I could see was a blinding light of rage and fury. And MPK. Oh, so much MPK.

winnar!
Honestly, I don't mind when people make small mistakes. Shit happens, and humans make mistakes. But only complete tards do shit like this. And that's where I draw the line.
Except replace line with moron. And replace draw with kill the shit out of. Yeah, that sounds about right.

I've never done any ISNM so I'm wondering why the RDM couldn't enter?
XD Exit or Lose buffer I'm sure someone would accidently choose lose >_>

Like any instanced fight, if you attack the mob before everyone has entered, anyone left outside can't enter. I probably should have done a better job at showing that was the case, but was trying to show it with the RDM buffing outside and the ranger hitting the mob between utsu start and end cast.
