Will Sunday at 4pm PST be fine for you Blue? I was not even going to bother with doodle since no one signs up other than Kujh and Luc'a. All my other students are from my FC, and they do not ever check this site.
I will of course take on new students if anyone is interested. Send me a PM, tell or post on this thread. If anyone requests a doodle, I will put one up.
Sure, that will work. Just send me a /tell if you don't see me on. I mess up with time zones often.
Anyroad, while I am relieved to no longer have to update the opening post, I am sincerely sorry for those who did offer their role as teaches and saw their classes unattended. I did personally show up at pretty much every first class of every faculty (with some exceptions due RL problems) to encourage these volunteers, and I was excited by how the project was well received. However, I cannot make numbers alone, and I certainly wasn't planning to offer this whole idea to have a bunch of personal trainers on myself.
Between lack of interest (a lot of people do not RP inexperienced characters or persons in need of training, that is understandable) or attendance (commitment can be a chore for both students and teachers alike) or cancelled classes or general misunderstandings, it is not too much of a shock to see people stepping away from it.
I just want to give a personal, fond thank you to all those who volunteered as teachers, as well to those who showed up to classes to encourage the teachers and give this experience a go. Maybe it did not end up making the guilds more popular, but I'm sure there were good memories for everyone, and who knows, maybe some little new bonds and plots were born out of this (Kujh'a's is the shiniest example of it. I wasn't RPing him anymore and now he has his own story).
I want to encourage people to make more of these projects and come up with more ideas for mini-events that do not require outrageous waiting time to be planned, because I think events are one of the best kinds of RP there can be in the open world. In fact, I can't really get myself to RP out of my linkshell anymore, unless it's an event...
Don't get me wrong, tea party RP or drinks time at the Quicksand is obviously appreciated by a multitude of players, so saying that it's a bad kind of roleplay would equal to beating a dead horse. This post is mostly towards those RPers who just can't seem to fully build their own characters around that kind of stuff, like myself and some friends I have.
All in all, you guys all are wonderful people, and I am certainly going to look up the thread for more events like these!Â
