I think Karaan might be talking about the Carbuncle arena below the arcanist guild which I don't think is an illegal Carbuncle fighting arena but a place for new arcanist to train and learn how to use their new companion.

But we can use that "idea" so we can create illegal one
, we just need arcanists and 2 or more carbuncles to send killing each other

Ah! That makes sense. And yes xD something like that I'm sure could be possible to set up. So many possibilities really!

Hey there! If it's a lot of scrupulous activities and wagers then I think it is more than cohesive with my FC's storyline. We are called the Crew of The Esquire, we are "Pirate Mediators" (think of us as lawyers for Pirates, sounds weird but we make it work)
So far we've dealt with syndicate Pirate RPers, Syndicate RPers, and the like and getting into organized betting seems right up our alley.
I also like the idea of Carbuncle fighting turned into a illegal league.
I'd love to RP with you folks if you'd have me...

That sounds fantastic! It would fit in perfectly, I agree, and certainly would open up more RP connections ^-^ I'll try to reach you in game and maybe we can work out some details!

Awesome! Hope to see you ingame!

I'd love for C'kayah to be a better. He frequently talks about it when he's watching the Grindstone fights (speaking of which, I've got to go to those again).

I just felt that I should mention that Equilibrium has been working on Chocobo Races. We've mapped out a few courses already around some areas, trying to add a few obstacles that could slow down riders by them getting stuck. We figured we'd start with a few smaller, low level area courses and then work up to some more challenging ones.
The event got put on the back burner because of Christmas and then work and classes caught up that we kind of forgot. But if there is interest we can certainly take up the event again and get something going soon.

Honestly, chocobo races would be awesome to see...so I would definitely urge you to try to pick that back up if at all possible. And if there's something I can do to help, I'm willing. :3
RE: Seeking Betters and Contacts [Balmung] - Kage - 02-12-2014
Not to sorta derail the thread but speaking of chocobo races... how do you determine how many are judging/refereeing? I assume there would be some to ensure that proper course is maintained (Depending on path and routes what if person goes through this or that tree area that isn't in the course)
RE: Seeking Betters and Contacts [Balmung] - Evie - 02-12-2014
The way we are going to have it is that there would be check points along a designated course with non-partial observers at each location to ensure that the racers follow the track, or at least mostly follow the track. At the end/finish line there will be another non-partial observer who will take a screen shot in order to determine which chocobo and rider crosses the finished line first.
We were thinking of having an entrance fee which would then be divided in some way between the top three placers.
RE: Seeking Betters and Contacts [Balmung] - Steel Wolf - 02-12-2014
Yea I was thinking each corner or checkpoint would have a spotter...who would also be capable of killing off a mob or raising a downed rider should something like that happen.
Admittedly, the logistics of all the moving parts coming together to make it work would be pretty damn large....but at the same time, I haven't seen this sorta thing done in MMOs before, either, so I know that it'd be a draw on uniqueness alone.
RE: Seeking Betters and Contacts [Balmung] - Evie - 02-12-2014
We've been working on this for a month or so, besides how betting would work we've got most of the detail ironed out. But with Raeras being interested in becoming a bookie then we might not even worry about that part anymore
. All we'd really need help with is racers and/or people who generally just want to attend for some fun, laid back RP.
RE: Seeking Betters and Contacts [Balmung] - Karaan - 02-12-2014
Chocobo Races could be nice, but still I want those illegal carbuncle fight
RE: Seeking Betters and Contacts [Balmung] - Raeras - 02-12-2014
So many replies xD
C'kayah: I'll tag you in game and we can talk about some details if you want! And maybe I'll have to see about organizing some betting for the Grindstone since I know someone ICly mentioned that the other night too xD
Evie: That would be so great ^-^ Chocobo races would be a lot of fun to watch to. PM me or Tag me in game if you guys want to work something out! I'd love to take care of that
