Yeah... that's why I'd say know who you're doing it with. If dedicated to quicksand, party chat?

There's also that small bar at the airship landing

Can totally do that there too. Potential for more people without the likelihood of it turning into a chaotic clusterfuck from too many people.

My alt got his pocket picked at the Quicksand just the other day. The thief asked me OOCly beforehand if it was okay and I was intrigued, so I rolled with it.

Of course, it was in full view of a lurking Free Paladin and both the Paladin and my apt knew the thiefs name and face from the Grindstone, where she regularly competes. So while she got a away with the theft basically scot-free, she had to miss the Grindstone that week to bribe the Blades after the crime was reported.

Fine, right? IC consequences for IC crimes. The problem was a newbie RPer that jumped in trying to protect the thief that not only made the situation worse, but followed said Paladin to the Grindstone reaming him out the whole way. Public RP conflicts can definitely lead to unexpected consequences. Was still fun though.

First off, obligatory "Flames are not law enforcement but we will still break up your brawls if need be" statement.

Second, do not start a brawl in such a populated and well-patrolled area as the Quicksand unless you are willing to accept any IC consequences that come your way short of dictated-character-maiming-or-death.

Third, be mindful of what level of authority any particular governmental branch has. I'm not sure how it would work in Limsa or Gridania (though I have ideas), but in Ul'dah any Flame, Sultansworn, or Brass Blade can break up your fight, and technically speaking any of those three can have you temporarily incarcerated, but barring a threat to the Sultanate, only Blades can hold you for more than a short stay, and only Blades can levy criminal charges at you... and thankfully, as previously mentioned, you can bribe your way out of consequences if you get taken in by the Blades.

Fourth, be prepared to be drowned out by chat spam, regardless of whether those people decide to get involved or not.



I think that about covers everything that's already been said better by others. Whoops.

I've been somewhat amused by the potential of an idea such as this.

As a Wuxia fan, the 'fight in a teahouse' scenario is something I always relish, much like the famous Qiu Chuji vs the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan in Legend of the Condor Heroes. Something like that with jumping on tables and railings and whatnot. It's enough to make me feel regretful I've already somewhat developed my character beyond picking needless fights in public places where others could be injured by her. That being said, it's not out of the question if someone else was the aggressor. Even if she had to spend a night in jail, hypothetically, I could probably allow it.

Imagine, if you will, a band of like-minded individuals. They come from all stripes and walks of life but believe in one thing: Violence is cathartic. This band of individuals, because they cannot be truly called friends, travel from one watering hole to the next. Someone will look at someone funny. Someone will say the wrong thing. And these men and women will be the powder keg to those sparks, breaking into fights at the drop of a hat. Today, the Quicksand. Tomorrow, Ophelia's Teahouse. Eventually, everywhere.

TAKE BACK THE BARFIGHT. THROW A CHAIR.

I already run one organized bit of chaos in THE GRINDSTONE, CHECK THE LINKS IN MY SIG PLUG PLUG PLUG but if someone else were so inclined to making a linkshell dedicated to guerilla warfare in public places, well...

That would be quite interesting.

Fight's in public all day, every day? Where the hell do I sign up, lol.

Can't spell "bar fight" without "a'right."

Also, you don't throw the chair. You club someone with it.

... I suddenly had the idea of staged bar fights with commentators and the whole shebang. Sort of a roaming performance group, except the performance is being the snot out of each other. Having an organization with rules (and pay for excessive damages) might result in this becoming an... interesting bar room practice. Even at the Quicksand.

Why not both?


A million points for Terry Funk selling being hit with one.

I'd be so amused by a bunch of people wandering around and just impromptu Fight-Clubbing. Especially if they bring a Jimm Rosse with them.

NOT ON COOKIE NIGHT, ANY NIGHT BUT COOKIE NIGHT

Randy Orton. Now there's a S.O.B. whom I love to hate.

On-topic, I'm still waiting for the day when someone in the Quicksand gives someone else the chair. I've seen bottles, glasses, fists... no chairs.
