Lament Posted October 28, 2013 Share #76 Posted October 28, 2013 Saturday is probably a better day for attendance, overall, but it'll also clash with a lot of other events, most likely. I'm fine with either, personally. Link to comment
YesGood Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share #77 Posted October 29, 2013 10 PM EST on 10.29.13 We will be holding a meeting for potential and existing Overseers of the Grindstone. If you are interested in becoming an Overseer, we have three basic jobs: 1. Ref'ing matches between our members. We need at least three of these on a regular basis. As our tournaments will likely be cut down to only Saturdays each week, I'd like to rotate our Overseers so that they can also participate if they desire to. 2. Healing leaders + Trainers for the Grindstone. As of now either Lottie or Norlaise or Skaenmoen or some combination of those individuals will fill the healing leader positions. This means they're in charge of making sure all healers are capable and organized during and between the events. Trainers should have plenty of time available and I'd like to make sure they specialize in one or two physical arts. 3. Recruiters. Pretty self-explanatory but it's a necessary and much appreciated job during the event as well as between events. I'd like to be able to list the individuals who fill each position. If for some reason an Overseer just cannot attend, has not attended, or is otherwise unable ICly or OOCly to fulfill their duties, I will be forced to remove their privileges until such a time that these things can be corrected. ICly there will be a notation posted on the flyers with the above date and 'Looking for healers, trainers, recruiters, and Overseers for the Grindstone'. Short and sweet. Link to comment
TheLastCandle Posted October 29, 2013 Share #78 Posted October 29, 2013 I'm going to vote Wednesdays for purely selfish reasons. Despite Lottie's objections, Teveriel is probably going to enter a melee very soon. Be gentle. <3 Link to comment

Sindl Arahn Posted October 29, 2013 Share #80 Posted October 29, 2013 I'd recommend Saturdays, also for purely selfish reasons. It's easier to stay up late, for one thing. My experience has also been that there's more folks on a Saturday (this week notwithstanding) but the overseers might have better insight on that one. Whichever you choose, I'll be there.

LandStander Posted October 29, 2013 Share #81 Posted October 29, 2013 I am going to chime in for Saturdays as well. Both days work for me, but I feel like with the weekend there might be a higher turn out seeing as they start kind of late for the east coast. That way there is a less chance that people will have to retire early due to work/school/etc. in the morning. Link to comment

Lottie Posted October 29, 2013 Share #83 Posted October 29, 2013 I'm going to vote Wednesdays for purely selfish reasons. Despite Lottie's objections, Teveriel is probably going to enter a melee very soon. Be gentle. <3 You expect Sio to be gentle? *eyebrow lift* Nope, not at all. OHAI THERE. :tonberry: Also - Wednesdays are best for me. I work on Saturday until 11 pm and usually the events are in mid-swing or nearly done by the time I'm home and in my jammies. And I have no problem being one of the Healing leaders; it's fun to make sure all the healers have their respectful groups and having a chance to get some roleplay in between them all. So if you need anything of me beyond the matches to organise anything, just poke me! Link to comment
Aranya Northbrook Posted October 29, 2013 Share #84 Posted October 29, 2013 What about alternating both Wednesday's and Saturday's? There will always be some people who can't make one day or the other, but alternating days would ensure everyone gets to go at least some of the time. As long as the calender is kept up to date and people remember to check it, there should be minimal confusion. Link to comment

YesGood Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share #90 Posted November 2, 2013 10.02.13 Saturday - EVENT We'll be holding our regularly scheduled blood match tournament outside Ul'dah today. Apologies to everyone who was disappointed by our cancelling the last event but that will not happen again. Look forward to seeing you all there. Edit: U'roh Tia was our winner! <333 Link to comment
Fystrael Abylstyrwyn Posted November 7, 2013 Share #91 Posted November 7, 2013 Hear ye, hear ye! Like to fight, but not fond of nicking your femoral artery? Enjoy brawling for bruises instead of blood? Join members of the Grindstone for Training Night, next and (most) every Wednesday night, starting at 10p.m. EST! Learn the rudiments of RP combat tourney-style and feel comfort in knowing that your character won't take a lance to the knee before become a guard in Ul'dah. Central Thanalan bridge, just outside the Gate of Nald. Leather and blunted weapons only. ( Pans allowed, not crockery or knives or spitting forks for Culinary guild students. ) Link to comment
Arelian Solin Posted November 9, 2013 Share #92 Posted November 9, 2013 Our weekly blood tournament will be tonight at 10PM EST / 7 PM PST! Central Thanalan near the bridge, as always. Bring people out, have some fun and get involved! Again, that's tonight (11/9/2013) at 10PM EST / 7 PM PST! Link to comment
Fystrael Abylstyrwyn Posted November 13, 2013 Share #93 Posted November 13, 2013 Remember folks, training night is this Wednesday, Nov. 13, 10p.m. EST. Blunted weapons, cloth & leather armor only. Link to comment
Arelian Solin Posted November 16, 2013 Share #94 Posted November 16, 2013 Reminder: Our weekly tournament will be held tonight (11/16) at 10:00 EST / 7 PM PST at the Soot Creek Bridge in Central Thanalan. Come participate in the fights or just come out to hang! All are welcome! Link to comment
Whittledown Posted November 19, 2013 Share #95 Posted November 19, 2013 Now that she's hit 50 as a Warrior it's about time Obsidian Hornet came out to the Grindstone. Expect to see her at the Saturday event! Link to comment
C'kayah Polaali Posted November 19, 2013 Share #96 Posted November 19, 2013 Just for the record (I'm sure it's been mentioned, but I'm chiming in here anyways), combats don't take level or equipment into account. They're done using a random number generator, and it's entirely possible for someone to create a level 1 character and immediately win a Grindstone tournament. So don't wait, or you'll be late! And sometimes you'll get to be healed by C'kayah, if you come. That's always an experience! As opposed to a certain "healer" who's name starts with an "E", C'kayah has never caused a patient to scream or burst into flames. Link to comment
Whittledown Posted November 19, 2013 Share #97 Posted November 19, 2013 Mostly I wanted to be 50 before going to the Grindstone cause I wanted to wear neat looking gear to the event Link to comment
C'kayah Polaali Posted November 20, 2013 Share #98 Posted November 20, 2013 Hey, I'm level 28, and I have plenty of neat... no, wait. You're right. You're so right. *sobs into his aetherial crocs* Link to comment
J'ruzho Posted November 20, 2013 Share #99 Posted November 20, 2013 J'ruzho may stop bye to spectate the training session for a bit tonight. I know IC it would make more sense for me to jump in head first fists-a-flyin' but 10 pm is already pretty close to my bed time. Work starting at 7 am is really annoying. Link to comment
Gharen Posted November 21, 2013 Share #100 Posted November 21, 2013 Ladies and gents, due to scheduling conflicts with our event runners tonight's (Nov. 20th) Grindstone Training event is canceled. Link to comment
