We all know that the adventuring life can be lonesome at times. As winter deepens and Eorzeas nights grow longer, what better way could there be to ward off the cold than basking in the warmth of newly kindled friendships?
To that end, The Traveling Templar cordially invites any and all adventurers to our first speed-meeting event. You’ll meet new people and hopefully make new friends, and afterwards there will be mingling with food and drink available.
When:Â Saturday the 9th of November, 7:30pm EST.
Where:Â Fallgourd Float, North Shroud. To avoid congestion, attendance is by application only.

Details:
- Attendance to this event is limited. This is purely to keep the event manageable. If you wish to attend, contact either Nadeau Celeste, Ne'ci Aera or Brynhilde Wulf in-game, or PM Bryn or Ne'ci on the RPC forums. When you apply, you will be given a number. Please write this down and keep it safe!
- The event will be run by mods from The Traveling Templar. Before the event, you will be told the name of the mod for your group.
- This is a charity event held for the benefit of those poor souls displaced by the Calamity. There will be a 500gil In-character entrance fee. (We won’t actually be taking gil from you).
- Characters will be organised into groups, set up in a structured way so as to get them talking with strangers. After the time slot is up the group rotates and you’ll get a new partner.
- Conversation with your partner will be conducted in /tell. This is to prevent the undesirable situation of massive chat-log flood.
- This is not a speed-dating event! For the sake of simplicity, it's simply speed-meeting. Groups will not be arranged by gender (however, if romance does happen to blossom, that is thoroughly encouraged!)
- Your character will be conversing with others in 6 minute slots. The use of large amounts of descriptive prose and long emotes is therefore not advised.
- Come prepared with interesting trivia regarding your character, and make use of the game's emote list. Macros are a good idea!
- Please refrain from OOC chatter in /say, if you can.
- To keep the event from going on all night, we will not wait for DC's, bathroom breaks, etc. There will be short breaks between rounds.
- The speed-meeting is expected to last for just over an hour. The mingling afterwards will go on for as long as people hang around!
