RE: Need people's cooperation in FC event in cities being terrorized. - Aldotsk - 12-05-2014
Honestly? It's just something nice to have as an event. Special for us or not, I am sure we all want out characters and our FC to be something. Just like any of you. Which is why I made this thread to see if it was pursue able. Not to be slammed all over the place and hearing why my FC gets special treatment as well as my character. That rather sounds more like people are being critical about it personally than the community concern

Just my 2 gil, and with all due respect, but please leave the global event plotting to Square-Enix. We pay them to write the big, massive catastrophies and play through world-shaking events, we don't pay to have someone else's headcanon forced on us.Â
If you want to run a plot, great, I wholly encourage creativity, but expecting everyone to consent to things getting blown up around them is asking a bit much. Especially when it can interfere with their own plots, events, and derail their RP.

Honestly, I, uh... Don't really see what the big deal is. I didn't really read the OP and get this sense of "FC event, hands off but everyone act really scared" that a lot of people seem to be reading. What I got out of it is "FC event, but I'd appreciate some help if you'd like to play a scared bystander because god knows one person can't play 5 NPCs all at one time."
A lot of people seem to be taking this stance of "keep it private or don't do it at all, fractured timelines blah/blah/blah" and I do honestly see where you're coming from with that, but I really don't think it's uncalled for to make a thread asking for some people to play some scared bystander NPCs should it fit in for what I got the impression was a mostly-private FC plot to begin with. Definitely more appropriate than saying Ul'dah's water supply is tainted or anything like that (first I'm hearing of it, IC or OoC!).
But, I dunno. Maybe I'm totally misreading the "friendly casting call" vibe.

The water supply was tainted? Â O_o
When !?

As to relay what Kinono said, everyone also wants to be special snowflake to each of their own just like how I wanted it to be like that for my FC and myself , which is why they don't want to be that bystander which is understandable. Just disappointed about how people worded it really.

If this is what you are taking from this exchange, then I'm not sure why you came here seeking advice.

What. The. Fuck?
Just because some people have expressed some concerns about how -you- want to have a memorable and "important" event for you and your FC by forcing everyone into your headcanon or risk their own break in immersion or character does not mean you should put your own words and insecurities into other peoples' mouths.
You have expressed an unwillingness to use chats or linkshells that would keep the plot from interfering with other peoples' rp because in your own words and thoughts it would make it unimportant. Why should people accept that you bombed city places or break their own immersion? Why should they be disrupted by what you want to do?
People in this thread have said how you can not disrupt the community's rp. You can have your villain bomb not common places but Anelia's clinic. A friend of Anelia's private chambers. Anelia's home. By insisting that you are going to hit any public place, you are being selfish and taking away people's choice in the matter.

This concisely puts my thoughts to words. Please, OP, Â consider what the posters in this thread are saying. Even if they disagree with you, they need to be considered because they're the ones being almost forced to deal with the aftermath of the fanon you're trying to push on the community for the sake of your personal story and Free Company.

I am pretty sure it's not the insecurities that is the concern since it's been a while that many people have consistently avoided me from RPing with me because of personal reasons or my abilities of RPing. Considering that it was similar to the event that I had before this idea even came up.

At this point, I just stopped caring about how I want to approach to this event. It's rather a concern that no matter what I do, it's looked down upon and people will criticize me or just avoid in interacting with me. But I won't mention names of course.
RE: Need people's cooperation in FC event in cities being terrorized. - Aldotsk - 12-05-2014
With this request by me as an OP, please lock this thread and also I do not want to discuss anything further than this. If you want to criticize about it more, then be my guest. I'll request the mods to close it.
RE: Need people's cooperation in FC event in cities being terrorized. - FreelanceWizard - 12-05-2014
Yeah... I think all the salient points have been made, and this isn't really going anywhere (and certainly nowhere positive). Please feel free to start a new discussion thread about these sorts of plots in RP Discussion if you'd like to continue the discussion on the protocol and implementation of such things.
Thread closed.
