Sylas could be down for running some gambling games (either triple triad or other ones I made for the Golden Gil) to rep Ul'dah and the glories of gambling!

With various games of chance, drinks and drugs the Golden Gil offers characters a place to feel like a big spender, desperate gambler or both! “Is All of This Using Real Gil?” Yes it is! While the entrance fee, drinks and drugs will all be IC every table game will use actual gil, meaning players have a chance to get lucky and win it big! (So please tip your waitresses and dealers). “So When is This Place Opening?” If enough bodies are found to get the games running and keep people drunk and happy, the tentative grand opening is September 7th. That though is subject to change as interest is worked out and good people to help out are found! “So Is the Golden Gil Hiring?” We are! We currently have a LS that I’ll be giving out to those who want to work at the Golden Gil for it’s Monthly events, but no Free Company commitment is required. If you're interested and want to get involved, contact Sylastair Wolfhart here, on Tumblr or in game! Open positions include: Dealers Servers Bar Staff Performers “How Much Does the Casino Take Off the Top?” Nothing! No, seriously. While ICly it is assumed money taken in will be used to keep the place running, any gil made by casino personnel goes to pay servers, dealers and those who become part of the team! A nice little excel spreadsheet will be kept updated with funds made for a little added clarity as well. “Does any of this go against the ToS?” Actually it does not! While some of the information in the User Agreement seems hard to decipher, a post by GMs on the topic HERE clarifies the matter. To pull the sum it up: “Casinos, while diverse, are ultimately trade agreements handled and resolved entirely within the game at the time of the agreement. When mentioning that it is handled entirely within the game, this covers all aspects of the exchange, including the use of the in game /random command. By remaining within the game, all the details of the exchange can be verified and held as equal for everyone.” “What’s the difference between the ‘Halfway House’ and the Golden Gil?” Not too much! The halfway house serves as a cover for gambling, proper taxes and the sale of illicit substances! Those who asked around enough and in the right channels could work out that the halfway house is just that, a cover for the Golden Gil Casino.

Sylas is a TT fanatic and enters tournaments regularly. He's always looking for other players to toss cards with!

Hey all, so I am here in Frankfurt for Fanfest. If any other RPCers are about and want to meet up or just just say hi let me know!

You certainly earned the title of Notorious Monster Hunter with your last solo appearance! Glad to have you back! Woo! I will put you as "Kiht and Co." But let me know if you get a team, or a cooler name. Neither of which will likely be hard

The Tonberry Collective is up and running! We are actively gathering up like minded, smaller FCs to join this joint LS to promote cross FC RP events and the like! If you are interested in finding out more or joining, feel free to hit up myself, other BERRY members and the like!

Flynt has a lot of history in this area and this is right up my alley! Going to try and find you IG.

Team/Hunter sign ups 1. Kiht and Co. 2. Notorious Monster Hunter Sounsyy 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

Hey all! Have you ever wanted to show some snooty hunter how it's done? Do you dream about wark-ing and kweh-ing to your hearts content? Do you like fighting with dice and chasing people? WELL DO I HAVE A DEAL FOR YOU!!! Our last Festival was especially awesome due to the amazing monster RPers/NPCs who came out and not only killed it RP wise, but did great learning the rules and running with them! That is why for this spooooooky edition of the Hunt, we are asking for more people looking to come out and spend and evening RPing their favorite beast! We'll list some that we are looking for later, but with out All Saints Wake theme, if you have something 3spoopy5me then we have a place for you! There aren't many requirements, other than to be available to contact and go over the event rules and the like, to have an open LS slot for the event (can leave immediately after) and to have a familiarity with roll based combat and turn orders. Exceptional Monster RPers can earn cash prizes and live the rest of their life content in the knowledge they are a memorable monster! The event posting can be found HERE with details on when and where! Sign Ups: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

[align=center] [/align] [align=center]OOC Goodness:[/align] [align=center]Event Location: [/align] [align=center]Goblet, Ward 8.[/align] [align=center]That's right, Ward 8 is going to be chock full o' monsters and in need of some brave hunters to clear it out![/align] [align=center]General Overview:[/align] [align=center]Each hunter will attempt to accrue the most points possible within the time limit, the hunter with the most points (without dropping to 0HP) will be chosen as the winner of the Festival. The Hunt will consist of three enemy waves, each wave lasting 30 minutes except for the final wave, which will last 45 minutes.Hunters can enter alone, or in teams of two or three (no larger).[/align] [align=center]Combat is handled in a very similar manner as the Grindstone and Runestone (Turn order, /random versus /random), with the differences being PCs will be fighting against monsters vs other player characters and have 5Hp instead of 3Hp![/align] [align=center]Points are gained by killing beasts. The harder the beast, the more points you will get for defeating it. It’s important to note that the player or team that lands the killing blow gets credit for the kill.[/align] [align=center]Monster engagements are handled first come, first serve and determined by the player RPing the monster. Monsters will also handle turn order and any other possible logistical issues, think of the monsters as mini-DMs so if you have questions just fire them a /tell![/align] [align=center]Sign up by posting below, or by contacting the following:[/align] [align=center]Flynt Knoltros, Ritsu Knoltros, Roger Holmes, Raik Samil or Aden Dellebecque![/align]

Same, I think age and experience tend to make character skill both more believable and more engaging. Whether it's through RP or stories, you see the cost that being truly great in something comes with. Time. Very few people start with a talent for something, and even those that do end up still well behind those that devote themselves to the same task. So you have someone take ten, twenty years learning a range of familiar skills, and maybe they can outdo most in that arena, but what did they give up for that? Failed relationships, missed opportunities and more than likely a good pile of regrets. Time and age are really one of the great weaknesses to explore, Flynt is on the wrong side of thirty, and only now starting to realize just how much he missed out on and continues to miss being so focused on training and refining his spearmanship. He's got the reading level of maybe a 4th grader, he can barely do any of the administrative work that comes with running a business and can't really hold his own in more 'educated' conversations or environments. Fighting with a spear is cool, but it doesn't do much for him 70% of the time. On the other end I've a young wannabe monk who at 17 does nothing but get pummelled by almost everyone he fights. He's got a knack for fighting, and works at it doggedly, but he's 17, he just doesn't have the experience to do much, his RP is him earning those stripes so to speak. It's been touched on a few times now, but I really think that framing things in time is much better than assigning an arbitrary weakness or intentional gimp. Maybe they are great with all bladed weapons, really they are, but what did they lose in the 10/15/20 years getting there?

Like Warren said, a good test drive first and getting a feel for things would be the best start. I was part of one attempt to do just that, but getting people on and actually /doing/ the podcast is another matter. My only advice coming from that experience is to just get those who want to do it, keep it small and make it happen. Otherwise it can get bogged down quick and lose steam. If you have any other questions I still have some of the materials I'd be happy to pass on.

Flynt and his wife Ritsu have their own fun when it comes to Ishgardian House drama, and seem to be in a similar spot life wise as Eao and Waylon. If you ever want to RP, feel free to hit me up on Flynt Knoltros!

Welcome! The more monster hunters the better I say If you have any questions or are ever looking to go on a hunt or two hit me up IG (Flynt Knoltros).

Seconded! This was seriously a blast, and I hope there is another as well!

I was going to wait, but this screenshot came out to awesome not to share! [align=center]http://i.imgur.com/7QBKCj7.png[/img][/align]

I can't think of any discussions of deserters off the top of my head (though I do think there are several interactions adressing such within Coerthas/Ishgard) but I think it is safe to say that the same things that stop one from leaving a medieval military organization would be the same things stopping you here. If you simply gave up and walked off without some sort of order to allow it, you would be deserting, and likely in some sort of criminal status from then on. Now if you were injured, completed a tour or obligation, etc that shouldn't be an issue.
