IC Recruitment Bazaar

Who: RP FC Leaders and two Officers (maximum)

Where:

Ul'dah - Emerald Avenue
Gridania - Botanist's Guild
Limsa Lominsa - The Aftcastle

When: Bi-weekly/monthly weekends on all three nights, 8pm EST every night. (Adjust according to timezone.)

Ul'dah - April 11th
Gridania - April 12th
Limsa Lominsa - April 13th

Why: Build open-world RP, include currently excluded RPers and generally build the RP community

How: IC Recruitment for the first half hour to an hour followed by OOC sharing of goals, such as current houses/housing goals, raiding goals, RP goals, etc. Advertising will be done the entire week before the event via IC shouts/word of mouth through talking in the inn and market, as well as during the event in the two other cities via shouts. Shouting should always be done by a bard, being the entertaining/heralding class.

Further dates will be posted a week to two weeks prior to the actual event; expect at least one of the recruitment weekends a month.

If you are not looking for an FC, please feel free to come just to join in the RP - if you're in an FC that is attending and wish to come, please do not crowd the area around your FC. We want all FCs, including smaller ones, to benefit from this; as such, boasting higher numbers that appear will diminish the smaller FCs chances of growing and will ultimately destroy the entire purpose of this event.

Current weekend goals: March 21-23, April 11-13.

During the school year, the bazaar will be once a month; during the Summer, bi-weekly, and the weekend before Christmas as well as the weekend after New Year's to avoid intruding on family time.

The idea is to pull in new RPers as well as expand the current RP FCs. The FCs who come to the bazaar will probably change every time, with new ones coming and old ones leaving. The point in scheduling these events on weekend nights is to avoid being trolled by raiders, who will more than likely be too busy gearing, especially with the patch release.

If you have any further ideas, please feel free to post them; the goal is to expand the Gilgamesh RP community!

This is the kind of thing rp communities need more of. Kudos Smile

I agree.

Thanks for the support!

Alanth · **03-17-2014, 01:15 PM**

Fantastic idea. Â I know either myself or one of my officers will be there!

Spotz91 · **03-17-2014, 02:50 PM**

Well done to Olyver for coming up with this idea, as I stated before, Bruden will be there. No doubt.

Kyrrae L'minia · **03-17-2014, 07:13 PM**

This sounds great! ! I'll make sure to share this with my free company!

Zoetrooper · **03-18-2014, 07:47 PM**

*taps fingers together* Oh yes. This will do nicely. If I'm not working I'll be there.

... and added it to Arcanum's calendar. Wink

Looking like we're going to do Friday, the 21st, hold it in Uldah, Saturday the 22nd Gridania, and the 23rd have it in Limsa Lominsa.

Standing by for correction on this, in case Olyver doesn't like it, but as for now, the rest of us agreed on these days.

Can't wait to see you guys there!

Cheers!

Awesome idea.Â +1 for what seems a head-slappingly obvious bit of community building.

Thanks. Added it to the main post. Smile

Austratus · **03-20-2014, 09:13 PM**

Definitely going to try making it to one of these.

Spotz91 · **03-21-2014, 11:47 PM**

We had a great turn out tonight, a lot of friendly faces, and even a pinch of IC drama Smile

Shout out to Oly for a great event!

Alanth · **03-22-2014, 08:58 PM**

As a suggestion from what I can see sitting here in Gridania might be to give each FC a bit of face time up front at first. Â Opening speech, an introduction as it were. Â Just splitting off into your own little area tends to make smaller FC's kind of disappear compared to the large gatherings.

A small IC introduction followed by an OOC statement of goals and what type of FC you have to be might have been nice. Â Then breaking off into individual groups for smaller play.

Cripes! I missed the Ul'dah Event, there were just too many things going on that day [Namely the EoN Ball!], But are FC's not based in that specific City able to show up and recruit at the other cities? Or is it primarily for the FC's based in that city?
