I think that people should do and organize as they like, original and otherwise; those who are not interested, unimpressed or not keen on the notion have the option to not attend or participate.Â
That's just my mind. The opinions I've seen on here are rather interesting.
Just kind of echoing Berrod here on this and to add in my own two gil.
The main thrust of this whole thing seems to be a case made about "whodunnit first" and then kind of add in some ideas so that "people can do other things without stepping on the 'firstcomers' mojo".Â
This is inherently flawed. There are no original ideas, no unique thoughts when it comes to fundraising. Everything has been done before and no one is special for having done it first or doing it 'better'.Â
In that vein people should do whatever they want to do. If you want to run a gil-paid fundraiser event then by all means, do so. The -only- thing that separates a good gil-paid event from a bad one is the amount of gil earned and even that is arguable; realistically it's whether or not people enjoyed it.
Anyway, if you've a mind to run a charity event, date auction, brothel service, paid stage play, treasure hunt, or what-have-you then you should do it and have the ability to do so no matter what 'popular opinion' actually is. Do what you want cuz a pirate is free, I guessÂ
