Hope to see you guys soon! I plan to attend on Lili again once the expac hype starts to sizzle

How would I go about joining this? My character had a brief chat with Warren about participating in the Saturday events last time, but I'm not sure if there's something I need to do.

Just show up on time! (Or a bit before if you wanna get some socializing done)

If you are not in the line by a certain timeframe your name doesn't get out on the fighter list.(06-24-2015, 04:03 PM)WorstRPerEver Wrote: How would I go about joining this?

Will do! Thanks

The penultimate Grindstone of this "season!" Our attendance was nearly quadrupled from last week's! That's not surprising considering we were only eight, but... It's an improvement! Twenty eight of Eorzea's roughest and toughest came out tonight to battle for supremacy, and ultimately we observed Orenji Kharn defeat Screaming Silence to become our new champion.
...also, imgur appears to be down so NO PICTURES FOR ANYONE!
As a reminder, next week will be the last Grindstone that's paid for with the gil raised during the St. Valentione's Day Massacre event, and on July 11th we'll be once again hosting a choose-your-opponent auction of sorts. You can read about that here!

HAIL! A fun event to be apart of! Thank you so much for the opportunity!

Screenshot!
I'd meant to get more than just one, but I was probably just about as nervous as my character was.
I had a blast - will definitely try to be there next time! And I really should show up earlier, it seemed like people were gathering around the area more than an hour in advance.

I was quite amused by your "I even found a sword!" when you first showed up tonight. I'm glad you had a good time! Roleplay usually starts an hour or earlier. I suppose it depends on when people finish dinner/grinding/get bored and head out.

... Is it wrong that the angle of this shot makes me think I'm looking at something out of Diablo?

As usual, I had a blast at the Grindstone
. At first I wasn't going to make it because I'd been feeling horrible throughout the day, but I'm glad I went anyway!Â

Not necessarily wrong IMO, I had to angle the camera funny to get as many people in the picture as possible. There were lots (and I may or may not have accidentally messed up my camera angle and couldn't figure out how to fix it)
I should show up earlier... saw lots of awesome characters and lots of names I recognized from here that I wanted to approach. Do people hang around after the event to socialize, or is it just before?

Both!
I typically have Franz hang out after since I'm PST. ...we were there till....midnight PST? (3AM EST).
I know people who show up two hours early for the RP pregame.

It was until 4AM EDT
I just got up.I had a lot of fun. Didn't fight. Didn't heal. But lots of people to talk to and easy to keep a conversation going with how the layout was.

Yep, I was up to 2 am for after event RP. Then was back up at 6 am to get ready for 10 am shift that morning. Yes I'm exhausted but I would do it all again. Jancis, this you'll like this.

John and Jancis talking on the bridge. Speaking about his worry over Howl and what he thought was a fight going on between Warren and Howl. Also speaking about Howl letting John use his postcoginitive ability to see his memories and starting the turn from viewing it as a curse but a gift to aide him as a healer. Unknown to the pair, Judge may have overheard that conversation between the two of them.

Line up of the Grindstone last night. Will have more pic in the screenshot thread for John's "photo".
