  1. Colour me interested. I'd like to meet this Reiner icly sometime!
  2. Just something related to this, not targeted at you. But I really do not think anyone can ever deserve to be witch-hunted, no matter what they did and how proven it is. The person being pointed at by people in a lynchmob formation wont learn anything of the situation, instead they might just grow to despise people and continue their behavior in an "up yours" reaction. I know it isn't nearly as serious in an RP community, but I recently read an article (which I can't find atm.) about a girl who committed suicide, after she had bullied another kid to commit suicide and been exposed to the internet. No one is doing anyone a favour by hunting someone else wild, just because someone has done something bad does not give you the right to do bad against them. You're all great people. Don't let someone disapproving of you drag you down to a kinder-garden level of behavior. *puts 2 gil in a cup and rolls off*
  3. Every place has it's share of people with questionable ways of dealing with things. I noticed this trend of directly/indirectly addressing what appears to be mostly private dramatic situations quite a while ago, it even seemed to go on when everyone agreed that the tone here was too harsh. I don't particularly like seeing it, but I doubt people will ever stop doing it - don't mistake this for a defense of the behavior. I tend to note who's doing it when I see it and honestly, without deeper know into the situations, it just them in a bad light. I tend to avoid rping with people that go dramatic in public because I don't want to end up as the victim for a misguided hate-campaign - even if someone has done something bad, I don't think that's a proper way to deal with it. I don't think I'm alone in avoiding/being careful around people with this kind of behavior, and considering we're all here to find RP it all seems very like a very detrimental thing to do. Personally, I use tumblr as a place to post screenshots of my adventures in xiv and in minecraft (playing a bunch of that whilst waiting on heavensward), and then I really like those question me-me's (I think that's what theyre called), I think they're quite fun even though I rarely get asked. I follow a number of blogs belonging to roleplayers in the community who use it for the same. So there are good people on tumblr as well, and I'd encourage anyone to make a blog for these purposes - could drown out some of the negative ^^ (If you have a blog like this lemme know, I will follow you and like your things ) One thing will always be true though, if you talk shit about other people it's always going to come back and bite yourself in the behiney. It doesn't matter how anonymous or how secretive you're going about it, people have a knack for finding out, making assumptions and growling over it. If you don't like someones behavior, just take a deep breath and if you need a venue to rant, use a trusted friend - not a public channel/page, not your FC chat etc.

    Hello!

    Welcome to the RPC
  6. I think for most people when it comes to fur they use the WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) principle. So, fur on ears/tail, smooth skin everywhere else. Overall, what I have encountered is people playing them more as humans and less as cats, however ears/tail open up for a whole new world of bodylanguage. I tend to give my miqo'tes a trait I've named tell-tale-tail, wherein their mood is usually easily read through their ears and tail if one is savvy on what such means. Eg, ears pinned down against head + puffy tail = Angry, and this is something my miqotes can not control (though it would probably be possible for someone to train themselves not to react). Another thing to note is that Miqo'tes have been described as more agile and maintain better balance than for example a hyur, just from a standard point of view. As for the mix, it's not too special snowflakey, however you should be aware that mixes between the two types of miqote are usually frowned upon. These mixes get either shunned, ridiculed or even killed by their families if it is discovered (not always a given!) that they're a mix of one and the other, and should one make it to adulthood it's likely that there's some people who will still shun them, refuse to deal with/speak to them, etc - all depending on how obvious it is (eg. a really light skinned keeper). I would also say that there'd probably be a risk of mix-genes skipping a generation or two, so if it's minor traits (Like a seeker with sharp fangs, sharp fangs is otherwise a keeper trait) it might not be directly from their parents.
  7. I have to clear steps of faith on my tank alt. If I am online I am usually up for things, if I am in the Goblet it's a tell-tale situation of me idling and being generally bored. If I am in a private house or in Ul'dah I might be rping, and this is true for me on all of my characters (I bounce between Nailah, Thal and L'nessa these days).
  8. Short, overweight (chubby) and busty.. I'm reluctant to say dwarf -.-' None of the classes fit what I want though. My motivation for losing weight is to alleviate backissues and the same goes for why I do strength in the gym. My upper shoulder muscles are so worn and weak I can barely do chest presses on the lowest setting (4kg) >. Hopefully in time I'll have lost enough weight to get the breast-reduction surgery I really need. I wish I was in a position to follow diet advice, but for now calorie counting and 2x gym/week (combined strength and swimming for cardio) and then saying NO to chocolate will have to do. I really want chocolate ; ;
  9. Even though she's not leading the company anymore she still does a lot of this: [video=youtube]
  10. Your title has me curious and I definitely want to see it in action sometime
  11. Woops, missed writing the goblet! Thanks for pointing it out. And yes, in about six hours. Sorry you can't come, I know it's not too much of a friendly time for the working US people.
  12. Hello! The lovely Kindred Estate has gotten a makeover from top to toe, and because of that we're feeling like celebrating! Tonight at 20:00 BST (Time converter here) in Ward 4 of The Goblet, plot 11 - It's open to all, and the first few drinks will be free! So bring a friend, dust off an alt or come try out a new character - we're aiming to have a relaxing but fun casual evening. The housewarming is IC'ly advertised through the spread of words, so feel free to assume your character heard it somewhere ^^ Cheers & Hopefully see you there
  13. RP is booming There's LOTS of it. A name-change service has indeed been added Welcome (back) aboard ^^ If you see me around feel free to poke me.
  14. Nailah: She is a woman who adores travelling more than anything, and quite likely, anyone. She's going to go as soon as she deems it safe enough, and she is going to be VERY excited about it.
  15. You! I have watched your streams. I absolutely adore your drawings and I really like your streams. I hope you are well!
  16. That sounds really interesting! Welcome aboard Will look forward to seeing your finished work
  17. Welcome! I hope you have fun!
  18. Trial accounts means you can't answer whispers (but you can receive them), it also means you can't join Free Companies. You CAN join linkshells though, so that can be a workaround to the whispers if you find one to join. Linkshells are essentially glorified chat channels. Welcome to!
  19. Seems like a nice person ^^ Would definitely like to meet IC at some point.
