Maybe ic try recruiting those with certain skills who may or may not be a good fit. ^^Good ideas.
~just my thought~
 I will take a look. I appreciate your help in all of this.

I really really dislike rping as any kind of Law enforcement for personal reasons but if you need help with stories or SOMETHING (I have so many alts) you can always come to me as an antagonist or as someone who needs to go to the Yellowjackets or soommethhiinng i'm willing at least to help make the RP feel more alive so you aren't just standing around doing nothing till this gets off the ground

Yup, one thing that I would do when I started off, is I would scan people's wiki's for crimes they done that might have been suspicious. I would track the people down and interrogate them, "Where were you on X night, etc etc." Not for the purpose of arresting them, but just to make it cooler. Lot's of people put things in their backgrounds like "Runs a tea shop as a front" but it takes it to the next level if you grill someone about where they import their tea from or whatever.
As I used to tell people, and they agreed with me generally, what's the fun in doing crime RP if it feels like no one is trying to catch you? Even if you don't end up ever catching them, that you're just one step ahead of the law makes crime RP fun.
RE: Calling all Yellowjackets (Brainstorming and Discussion) - Roen - 07-17-2014
I have a sneaky feeling... Zhavi and Xydane will be keeping Ruru's Melodia plenty busy.Â
Just... a guess...
<.<

One more thing. Start meeting with Limsa promys. As an adopted son of Ul'dah, I don't really know who that would be. But get with them and start getting ideas from them too.

But I do agree with scanning wiki's ^^ I love reading them just because.. >w<; Probably lucky for a lot of folks that I'm not in any enforcement group. Though I'd love to see small groups or some form of story get together from rumors
RE: Calling all Yellowjackets (Brainstorming and Discussion) - Melodia - 07-18-2014
Okay, so last night I didn't get a chance to set up the LS due to some personal matters, but I will be doing that today right when I log in. What I need from people is to know who wants to be invited to the LS. This would the official Yellowjacket LS for Limsa and I would assume it would be an IC LS. I can send out invites so if you are interested, please shoot me a PM or reply here because I am terrible with remembering and when I log in with Melodia my list of friends is nearly empty so I will definitely need a reference.
And yes, Roen, I agree completely on that. And that's a good thing.
RE: Calling all Yellowjackets (Brainstorming and Discussion) - Enteris - 07-18-2014
Are you wanting those that RP being part of the Maelstrom to join said LS, or strictly Yellowjackets?

I don't really know how I would limit it. Okay....I take that back. LOL! It would make no sense for Zhavi or Andralyn to be on the LS. Ruru wouldn't be. But I figure if you are tied to a law group or the military in general, it would fine.
Anyone have thoughts that differ or suggestions?
RE: Calling all Yellowjackets (Brainstorming and Discussion) - Coatleque - 07-18-2014
I would do a general law enforcement LS first, and if you get a LOT of Yellowjackets, consider a secondary for security reasons. At least with the two combined you will get a better sense of who is interested or not overall.

When kage was still 'sworn I was really interested in 'SWORN ONRY LS... but I mean it would have only be 5 of us. @_@; The general "Immortal Flames" linkshell that Erik had served pretty well. Though, then we started to do the politics between the four groups (Stone Torches, Flames, Blades, Sworn)...
...Does Limsa have this same type of issue where the Yellowjackets aren't -the- most encompassing group and have other jurisdictions and such?

I think that might work. Especially since the Limsa law may be....light....at the moment. Haha! (2-4 people LS folks!)
As for jurisdictional issues, that''s a good question for the Lore thread I started. But, I do recall seeing Yellowjackets, like in Lower La Noscea, when you go down that wooden walkway to the lower portion, over by where the wolves spawn....I recall some by the mines, and in other portions (Wineport? Morabay Docks?) So they do tend to have a wide swath throughout La Noscea. But again, some lore hounds may be able to provide a better answer on the lore thread. My work pc refuses to allow those links to open to get a better answer. All of that is just from memory of me mining. XD
RE: Calling all Yellowjackets (Brainstorming and Discussion) - Rosekitten - 07-18-2014
I sorta answered that question in the lore thread actually. ^^; I did a run about of the map and only saw Jackets in certain locations. Mainly the ones more tame and holding civilians.
RE: Calling all Yellowjackets (Brainstorming and Discussion) - Melodia - 07-21-2014
Okay! With the lore section and some base leveling I did over the weekend, I am definitely to get the ball rolling even though it will be slow at first.
I did get a LS set up called "Eorzean Law Folks". It's just a general LS for contacts and connections and once there are more people who might want to play as a Yellowjacket in Limsa, then I plan to set up a specific Yellowjacket LS. So I just need to know who wants to be in the law LS. And I know it's tough with LS limits, so if you can't, no worries. But if you are, send me a pm or post here.
I worked on leveling up Melodia and she is about 99% ready. A few more levels (I am hoping) and then she can access the proper boots and gloves. I will likely post here on a new journal thread for her first, so I can give some background and help get a handle on her character before rolling her out IC in the city. I do look foward to rp'ing in the city with anyone and especially those less than scrupulous types.
