When I did the royal ball, I was accused of trying to power play and become ic buds with the Sultana, but it didn't happen, we had a dance and it was fun. When I did the Starlight Ball, I was accused of trying to make every character religious, it didn't happen. We had another dance and it was funner. Now I'm either forming a shadow government, or are to stupid to realize I'm playing into the hands of the said Shadow Government. It will not happen, we'll all meet up, tell eachother what we each do, there will be funnies in the presentations, and it'll be fun.I fail to see what your picture and the first half of this paragraph have to do with anything. Is any of that stuff true? I don't know. Does anyone care? Definitely not. I may be a skimmer, but I'm quite confident of the fact that no one in this thread is accusing you of anything malicious. Quite the opposite, if anything. It seems to me you are missing the point of those who are airing their grievances with this kind of event. Most of the pressing problems have already been voiced, and I can't contribute much more in that regard, but I would urge you to at least consider what some people have presented to you. Of course, I would not expect their reasoning to keep you from holding your event. It is yours, and you can run it however you see fit.
You seem to already have a good idea on how this event will go down, and while your confidence is inspiring, I can't help but wonder if that will be the case. I have literally no prior experience with RP aside from griefing on Moonguard before coming to Balmung, and I all I can think is that this is ultimately going to accomplish nothing - good or bad. Why not start building a directory of RP FCs on Balmung, even from those outside the RPC, instead? It will be just as, if not more so, accessible, and no one would have to be subjected to sit through two hours of pre-made macros to be a part of it.
