Right now, and I mean straight up brawl, no serious injuries / death allowed.
Take turns beating the crap out of each other, will be decided a draw when done.
The reason, the Quicksand is pretty boring right now..... Send tell in game if it seems like fun!

Please no fights, Miss Momodi cannot handle the disruption it causes.
~_~ take your fights outside!
Title should be, "Looking to get arrested by the Flames in the Quicksand."
Yeah agreed, lets rumble.

links to threads that will give you a chance to get busted up on a weekly basis. won't fix your view on the quicksand being boring; but will give you something to do as far as fighting goes c:
Well the plan was to take it out side, I know better than to mess with everyones little Quicksand. Which, if being honest, seems a little.......dumb. It's a tavern, filled with a bunch of drunken egotistical men (my character included, minus the drunk part, he don't drink) and a fight is almost forbidden to take place. Seems almost immersion breaking to me!
But instead, I headed up running into a very odd girl, whom I am still trying to understand.....

Look at it this way:
The Quicksand IS the Adventurer's Guild in Ul'dah. That means that it is very much the center of activity for people who regularly take down whole platoons of beastmen, people who, as an established part of game lore, have every reason to see Momodi's establishment succeed and function without undue harassment. If the place couldn't handle and eject hostiles with efficiency, it would have been razed to the ground by now.
What would be more immersion breaking would be to see people having a knock-down, drag out fight there, and NOT fully RP the week, if not plenty of more time, that they would need to recover from having dozens of angry, thirsty, primal-smashing adventurers applying a massive beatdown to them, and then most likely being hauled off by the Brass Blades. True immersion of that sort might rather demand that such a brawler would not log into the game at all for at least a few days while working out bribes/bail and medical attention.
If Buscarron can keep his own place free of fighting - in which we have an actual quest that puts the player into the role of peacekeeper - then think how well Momodi is able to do that, considering where she does business.
And OOC, people in SWTOR, where I RPed before, started long, arduous barfights all the time on Nar Shaada, but would fight with only each other, and conveniently ignored the 10 other players trying to drag them outside. In short, your immersion as the brawler would have to include an inevitable bad end, or else, there's no cause to complain.
Was surprised to see so many posts against this! Momodi doesn't care about fights in the bar as far as I can tell, and dialouge seems to suggest it's common fare. Yes, the Brass Blades could arrest you but... they're the Brass Blades. They could arrest you for looking at them funny too.
Plus, I think I've seen a fight break out one outta every 3 times I've walked in that place.
I'll be honest, a brawl in the Quicksand would probably be the most excitingthing thats happened in that place in...well, a long time. Personally, I'm not a fan of tavern rp.
That said though, while it certainly wouldn't be particularly out of place,good luck trying to orchestrate the fight when you have walls of posts flying around and people getting involved left and right to some degree. Honestly the logistics of keeping the rp organized seems like the biggest issue once the chat box got chocked.
But if you feel like you can survive a sea of text, be ready for the arrest.The various law enforcement rpers keep that place pretty secure at all times. But then again, that could be a fun rp in itsown way. Best of luck whatever you endup doing. Random events are always enjoyable.

I would love to turn it into a straight up tavern brawl with 10-15 people!
Sure it would be chaotic, but a real life brawl is!!!
Okay I'm going to do it.......you convinced me!
This is quite the point of contention.
I'm of the opinion that it's acceptable for folks to want to start a fight, but it's also acceptable (and encouraged) to adhere when the various folks playing Blades/Sworn/Flames show up to bust asses. Most of the time, people are quick to back down and take it outside of the city walls when I've seen people interfere. Some times, though, you get the hardasses who break laws in public space and wave their dicks around, shirking off all consequences because reasons.
I don't get the impression that's the sort of thing OP was looking for. Just be prepared for do-gooders to step in and start trying to end the fight one way or the other.

And possibly a couple folks acting like they're unbeatable walls of flesh and muscle.

Always a given in public freeform RP.
Kiht once walked up to C'kayah and Natalie outside the Quicksand with a trio of lancers at her back. I was still fairly new to RP, and thought it would be an interesting and fun surprise scene.
It turned into a cluster(censored) of characters; some of which were doing things like comparing the fluffy tails of the Miqo'te characters, and placing fish on the heads of Kiht's companions.
Natalie called the Sultansworn, that was expected. However all the 10 other random characters trying to comically push their way into the scene was not. Nothing got done, and no negotiation was had despite that being the point.
I still look back on that scene fondly for its entertainment value, but from a serious RP standpoint, it got nowhere. Something like that maybe should have been set up OOC, and should have taken place elsewhere.
Nowadays I think the Quicksand is more crazy. Try to have any sort of non-casual scene there and you'll get a
Cluster(censored) Scene of Craycray from Hells.
If that is what you are looking for, have at it.
