Hello again! Anyway, it was stated that if the topic could be simmered down and politely taken into context, then it could in essence thrive.
I didn't mean to upset anyone out there with the wrong words (people that are upset know what they are). So first off, I am sorry if what I said sounded condescending or otherwise insulting.
I appreciate all the effort and time FC's and LS's place into their events.
What had happened, which is why I posted here, was that I had been contacted by several players (I will not use names out of respect) that wanted to know what they lacked to hold large events. The word 'lacked' meaning 'little showing' for certain events.
I referred them here and some of these people's events have taken off... and some sadly have not.
When I thought about what was lacking for these players (and here is where my opinion got smashed), it was that they were offering the same kind of RP that was widely available already in the Quicksand.
Is there anything wrong with tavern RP? No.
Is there anything wrong with holding FC events that are LIKE a tavern? No.
What I think was missing was advertising.
There is nothing wrong with events being small and closed off. I was referring to players that had asked me and I referred to holding events OUTSIDE of the neighborhoods to get far more attention.
That being said, it's an opinion and that's it. I'm not right in this and I am not discrediting anyone for trying to bring RP, in ANY format, to Balmung. I praise that.
I am sorry that what I said was callous and rude. It was not my intent.
