Salad for Goobue!!! With a feather hat garnish. http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s235/Onienigma/FinalXIV%20screenshots/a2ffaca6-7028-46f0-93c8-75a46397bc4d_zps97385ba4.png?t=1406669277[/img] More importantly, possibly the best Macro I've run into.

The second of August... so my August will remain the first! Anyway, my interest is peaked and I need something to do. If my move goes well I should be settled in before the evening of the first so I'll be more than happy to come along on the second. If it's full well I'll let others have it.

Maybe just may be, the last bump. Maybe I'll get the hint.

August Lansborough's name came from a different character I made which never got used, and I loved the name. His appearance won out when I made a character for every race, because normally I did not intend human as playing a human normally seems boring to me. Despite our rich and amazing history. The FF version is a man who smiles and acts cheerily upon meeting you, belying not quite a sinister nature, but sinister teachings. He has never had a home, but never considered himself homeless. The world has always just been the world and he believes in individual will, or existentialism. He has a love of stories and is willing to listen to anything anyone has to say for the most part. August is a character who I made to have a dark nature and past that is not grand, but he wants to overcome it. The character was an antagonist for another RP I joined because they needed one, so I suppose August still has some of it. Never knowing a father of my own, and having had some negative figures in my life August antagonizes his father for his past. Blaming him for much of his troubles. Since I lost my mother some years ago August is also without. Though for him it's a matter of not knowing her, though he lacks any intent or care of ever learning the truth of it. I like to think the best way to learn is to listen or be there, and there is nothing wrong with doing something a little crazy if the reward is worth it. The reward usually something interesting rather than material, so it's August's thing. August is a BARD now though originally he wasn't. A couple of misunderstandings and some tests has lead me to a slightly lore touchy version of BARD for him. But I'll just test it and see what happens and if I don't like it I'll scrap it. August was not my beta design and when he was first made when I bought the game a few months ago, I didn't know who or what he was so his personality changed a a lot and eventually it helped form his past and why he acts in a way that would hopefully be favorable to another. Though when he notices, he does his best to put such manners down because I can't say I'm a fan of it all of the time and it just suits him to not want to be that way. Part of August's plot in FF is similar to his plot from the original story he was born, creating a former friend plot seeking revenge and a dead sister element and level or aristocracy you wouldn't expect. Even now he is touch and go as I don't get to RP as much as I'd like. I'm not the best at forming bonds so I guess that reflects on him. Oh yes, I just remembered, elements of his character are based on the short stories: "Before Gwen", and another I can no longer recall... damn it. EDIT: He is a bard because my friend who I joined the game with wanted to be a WHM. And I only got this game for RP and to play with them so I ended up going Archer in there because it was not my usual choice. It worked out wonderfully.

I rewrote the front page bump, there is a lot less reading and it's far more straight to the point. Hi everybody.

Thanks for the bump. Well I wasn't against the idea of expanding it so I changed it up above but I'm thinking of making the post more cohesive with less reading to maybe get more interest.

Yeah, another unfortunate bump. Hope everyone is doing well.

"Prostrate before Great King Chocothur!" Failure to do so may result in fat chocobo being dropped on your head.

I'm open to street entertainment. I'd be willing to make it a whole traveling service and show if people wanted it. Dancing, magic shows, extraordinary abilities and acts. If someone wants to bring something to the table then yes. I'd be more than happy to expand into street entertainment and other forms.

This is really just a bump post. To see if maybe it might catch interested eyes at this hour.

Well, welcome to Balmung when you show up. There's plenty of RP to find and I hope you find what you're looking for. Also, don't get discouraged by jerks, it happens. Plenty of people are willing to help. Hell give August Lansborough a buzz if you see him/me. I'd be more than happy to pester/rp with you. Rp is exactly why I joined this game and Balmung has no scarcity of it.

]]Rewrite[[ Have you ever wanted to be renown through all of Eorzea for something other than toting an axe, or weaving a powerful sphere of flame. Well hopefully this could be stepping stone. Origin for the idea Walking by Mih Khetto's Amphitheater I felt bad that it sees no use. I had a similar idea in another MMO, but Balmung is much more suited to it I think. The name for the group is based on FF9, you might have recognized it. ICly August Lansborough wants to form a group of traveling performers. This includes street performances, and shows to riveting stories to be played out upon the state and within the world. You need not be a performer, perhaps you just have a talent or skill you'd like to put to use. Good at making magical ministrations with potions, master of a dance of blade and fire. There is nothing holding you back. There is more to the group than performers. Bodyguards will be necessary, an accountant, playwrights and other roles. We'll likely start small, no one gets big over night. OOCly I am not a player with hordes of gil, or amazing skills to use to craft. I've only been playing for four months now. So payment will have to remain a part of the story process. I do hope that in and out of the troupe players form dynamic and interesting relationships. Perhaps you and the couerl tamer dislike one another? OR whatever happens. I intend to hold events, rehearsals, but the main event should only happen once a month at first so that it doesn't take too much from people's other game times. If it's too often, it's work and not play. Theater, if it can be properly implemented will likely be plays that can be performed in 10 to 30 minutes as this will limit player activity the most and we don't want to keep them. Could be fun though.

I'm not sure if it's another name for Somnus but a friend of mine mentioned drug called "Dream Ink" I think. It's supposed to be an intense hallucinogenic. There is a plot going on with it among some players, sort of hidden in the background. I don't know much about it myself but I'm sure someone else will. Take note, I believe that is a player created drug concept, perhaps taken from Somnus and expanded upon. But people, some people, do know it's existence.

Admittedly, I have been in an RPing slump and for a time thanks to some distress with real life, and a previously poor experience with an MMO that is somewhat recent I was letting OOC get in the way of in game. I was desperate for some RP, and ended up ruining some other RP. This is a habit I'm seeking to destroy, as I believe OOC has no place in IC. I decided it was best to pull away, to soothe my issues and then try to RP again. I haven't been on in a couple of weeks and even thought of quitting the game because if I wasn't having fun, what was the point? So... I can understand that someone wants to RP, but to seek only romance, and become OOC and even obsessive has no purpose. Crazy people ICly are fun, but I understand your concerns and rather than being you, have border-lined the other side, though I'm not seeking romance. So from being a borderline other side player I have to say you're probably doing the best you can by avoiding them, but you might want to blacklist the person if they are this much of a problem as well. Hiding might not answer the problem, if they're the type that is willing to wait. There is no point in ruining your game over someone who is being a nuisance. It's a game and most people will just be text or avatars in the end, so you might want to cut out the problem as soon as you can. No point if you're not having fun. I won't give up, but while I'll be respectful and rectify myself and the problem, he/she might not do the same.

Ah I went to a ball on TERA once. It didn't have a cool murder mystery but it was a masquerade so we all acted like we didn't know each other. The people holding it even had a dj station for everyone to tune into. I think this sounds like a lot of fun. If you go through with it, it's certain to make you quite a few contacts as well as a worthwhile memory I'm sure.
