RE: The Golden sands! Wednesday 8pm EST - Warren Castille - 07-16-2015
Donations from interested parties are always a plus, so long as they come unsolicited. It gets awkward when you ask folks for cash in an MMO (and this is coming from someone who's technically done that twice.)
The only other trap you want to be on the lookout for is making the prize large enough that you get a bunch of folks not interested in RP as much as they're interested in free gil. The money should always be a bonus for hanging out, not the reason.
Congratulations on your first turn-out though! Seemed like a lot of folks were interested and turned up. Balmung loves to fight, that's for damn sure.

I must attend next time!

I haven't been in a tournament in awhile and I thoroughly enjoyed participating. And I think I can say on Blazerro's behalf that he did enjoy helping!
Though it seemed we lacked in healers and the cramped space did make it difficult for everyone to keep track of the matches they wanted to a more spread out area will be better next time!
A small fee may be necessary for entry while you are getting things off the ground so you can have a prize. I'm sure that most people wouldn't mind putting in an entry fee to help keep it going. Balmung seems to have a big thing about their fighting tournaments.
Also, if you want to have FCs help sponsor let me know! The Gilded Rose enjoyed our time there and we'd be happy to sponsor future events!

i might open up advertisement for the week of the 29th, so if you'd like to put in a sponsorship then, that would be great!
for next week, i won't be charging any entry fees since the reward has already been covered, but i will bring up some ideas in the thread. perhaps tomorrow morning i'll scout out some areas around for a wider location and post them up here for people thoughts on relocation, just so we can spread out more easily.
RE: The Golden sands! Wednesday 8pm EST - FloriaRaine - 07-20-2015
Alright so I've decided that we'll try to use the area out side halatali once more and see how effectively we can manage the space there. If we have to, we can spill out the gates on either side. Last time was just a little hectic and i did misjudge how many groups we had when splitting groipw between the enforcers. I would like to have an extra enforcer or two available if anyone wants to volunteer for the role. I'd also like a few healers on hand, if anyone wants to volunteer for thay as well

Will heal for snacks.
RE: The Golden sands! Wednesday 8pm EST - Hammersmith - 07-20-2015
Will hurt people for kicks.
(Gonna drag Ham to this Wed.)

I enjoyed it! Sad the Snow Lioness of the North got bested in the first round. I'll try to attend again!
RE: The Golden sands! Wednesday 8pm EST - FloriaRaine - 07-22-2015
Event reminder!
RE: The Golden sands! Wednesday 8pm EST - RiniKett - 07-22-2015
Will be there!
RE: The Golden sands! Wednesday 8pm EST - FloriaRaine - 07-22-2015
Thanks to everyone who showed up! and to Sorora who donated an extra incentive for the bonus round!
For next week, i'll be opening up sponserships!
If you'd like your fc or ic business to be advertised, a fee of 10k gil per advertisement will be required. This fee will go towards the reward pot. If you'd like your fc or business advertised, please send me a private message on the forums with a small description and name, after approval i'll try to get in contact with you in game quickly.
Donations will still be welcomed.
Depending on interest in advertisement, i will make a decision on entry fees before the next golden sands.
