RE: Gauging interest on a Gridania themed LS - Smiling River - 02-24-2015
Funny to see this thread, because I was just running around Gridania today and trying to find some RP. There was none
I have a particular affinity to Gridania and would like to join with Smiling River, a wondering monk and disciple.

Thanks for the encouragement all! If anyone wants to throw out suggestions for a name for the LS, that'd be a big help. Maybe I'll take a time-out from the game tomorrow to establish the house rules and draft them up in the LS section. Since.... it'll be patch day, and one hundred thousand people will be packed tightly onto Balmung like sardines in a can.... thereby relegating my cranky, old computer to a perpetual state of moan and groan.

So, I tried something like this last September, but it died down quickly. Part of that was because I was so busy I could not dedicate myself to pushing for active recruitment, and plotting open events.

However, I still 100% support this idea, and maybe an IC linkshell instead of an OOC one will be better? Based on experience though, something like this -will- need active recruitment and events. Unfortunately, Gridania/Twelveswood RPers are few in number.
Despite my character and her FC's current living location, we do still RP in the Twelveswood often, and plan to do so much more in the future. I would be very willing to help support a growing RP community in the Twelveswood.
I would like to offer this to people who haven't seen it yet:

A directory is useful because it never goes away.
Magellan, if you get this LS going, I would love to join it, and maybe even get my FC members in on it.

As for 'little fluff here and there' that's kind've the core concept of the LS. Establishing a base from which people can get to know locals through various day to day interactions. Things such as; 'I'm opening my shop if anyone would like to come place some orders ICly' or... 'anyone want to meet at the Canopy?' 'A couple of fellas are fishing/rping by the botanist's guild if anyone wants to join!'
Any deeper storylines would come from the involved individuals themselves. There would be monthly events that would take some planning, but I feel like it'd be fun to highlight and showcase some of the many lovely areas Gridania and her surroundings have to offer.
Oh nonono, that was just my opinion on it personally. Actually, having re-read my response I think it could have easily come off badly but that wasn't my intention at all. I'm sorry if you got that impression!
IC or OOC works all the same. As you said, it can be IC and still used as on an OOC level for others present. Whatever you and the majority prefer is best ^^
And yes, I just wanted to emphasise how fluffy my fluff will be(if any fluff) since I am a little shy about RP'ing in-game. So long as my possible and relative lack of interaction doesn't bother anyone then I'll happily join.
Thank you again for organising this. Even if I don't get much use out of it myself, I'll look forward to seeing how much it inspires RP growth in both Gridania and the Shroud.
(Also, Clover Blake would be interested in joining too, whenever you get around to sending out invites.)
