That's just a clone. No one finds me. I'm the master of hide and seek. Totally.

http://nailahquill.tumblr.com/ OOC Blog, mainly for screenshots and such of my various adventures in this wonderful game. Will be screenshots from both RP situations and pve and so on. Maybe the odd thought or so. Right now it has all of one posts on it because I just joined tumblr ^^

Welcome ^^

Went on a refurbishing spree in the Spa that we have in a room within KinRP's house. If I am in love with the oriental partitions? Oh just a bit. They have DOORS. SLIDING DOORS. IT IS SO EXITING. AAAAAAAAAA. (Thanks to my guildees for holding the door open)

Now we just need the pve'ers to move out so we can RP there

In case you hadn't seen/been told yet ^^

Welcome back!

Welcome Hope you have fun

The problem with larger events and the EU timezone is that there isn't a whole lot of people that wants to create them/Has the time to. I've been looking for ideas for a while, but very little in terms of input and inspiration has come my way. The reason why I created the European directory is to eliminate the big obstacle of communication. Obviously, any European community is never going to be extremely big - WoW has that, but in every other game I've been to in the past 4 years, EU roleplayers have been a minority in a minority. It calls for people being more pro-active, but even so we would never match the activity level of the US community. Comparatively speaking EU'ers here, as far as I can tell, are doing a lot better than certain other communities out there - I'm never going to go out and say that everything is perfect, merely that there are a number of us here (Somewhere above 100, I reckon) and that's really that. The more proactive you are the more RP you see, seems to be a thing you can apply to RP in general, regardless of timezone.

I do not know about anything on Phoenix sadly, Balmung and Gilgamesh are by far the most popular choices. For Balmung I can also say that it's not exclusively NA-people who RP there. It's a lot more international.

I would like an invite whenever you are able.

I think as long as you don't involve actual "powers"/Magic/whatever-you-call it, it should be perfectly passable to roleplay as a fortune teller. I have so far at least not heard of any magic that would be able to give a fortune teller some credit, though they could use magic to give like that "OoooOOooo" feeling. They could be right or wrong just from chance, and I think some of the charm about fortune-telling is that it makes people think of the "what if she/he is right" which may provoke changes in their behavior, which could be very interesting. Ie, telling someone that they'll soon be rich and them watch them go out and confidently spend gil until they're broke - obviously a negative reaction but fun none-the-less. Should you go with it I have a character that would be curious enough to try it out ^^ (That is if you roll on balmung) Anyways, welcome!

Welcome! ^^

Welcome (back)! . We have a European Directory here, and I can toss you an invite to Europa if you desire so. Just toss me a tell in-game. There's plenty of us Europeans around - I myself am in GMT+1 atm ^^

Welcome aboard

I've picked the 5:2 diet because it does seem very gentle. Unfortunately I have a sensory disorder that means I taste far too well, among a host of other issues with my other senses. It's something that's associated with my PDD-NOS, and the two team up to make my diet.. Extremely plain and a lot of the same food, and unfortunately it's not always healthy. I don't eat a whole lot of junk, but I do eat pasta and all of those not so awesome foods. I have planned my first fast-day to be tomorrow, and have shopped in for two meals that come to 500 calories there-abouts, so I can have breakfast and dinner. I am hoping that because the calorie limit forces me to think creatively with my food, I will be able to convince myself to let more things into my food-pattern if you would, which is no small task. And honestly, if the diet is good I may stay on it for as long as I can, once I have made a habit out of things I am extremely bad at breaking the habits (which can be a real pain in the butt). I have already forced myself to eat less, here in Denmark or at least in my family, it's the social norm to eat two portions at dinner and such, so it has been a struggle to convince my stomach that it is actually full now. Through that + swimming + calorie-counting in general (I've been trying to keep myself to the 1700 mark. I should note I am a woman so, its not too much below the recommended daily intake afaik) I managed to lose about 8kg, but after those it just stalled - and as a result I stopped counting, because it felt like there was no point. I'd also gotten very conscious about what was in my meals and such. I think my main problem with motivation is that I don't have much support IRL - When I talk about losing weight with my family, they sorta just roll their eyes because they think it's just not going to happen. It (and some light social awkwardness) prevents me from signing up to gyms and such, one thing is that it's good to do something for myself, but it really kills me a bit when no one else has any sort of belief that I'll be able to stick to attending it. Heck they had the same reaction with the diet thing, but that is the smaller mountain to climb right now so to speak.

Sooo.. For the first time ever, I am going to try and follow an actual diet. My goal is the lose about 7kg all in all. I'm going to be following the 5:2 diet. Beyond dieting I also swim once a week. I'm not massively over-weight, but I have been unhappy with my weight for a while and my eating habits aren't the greatest, so I am hoping this could set me on a better path. But I was wondering if anyone else are currently dieting or if someone has any tips on how to keep yourself at it, I have this feeling my motivation wont last forever. Heck even if you just want to recommend or not recommend something that's cool too. If anyone else is at it I guess we could cheer on each other or something. So yeah. Anyone else in this boat?

Welcome aboard ^^

Very nice

I'll be there!

I keep journals for all of my characters, but I do not share them on public sites. I can't really see why anyone would read them when they do not know my characters, and I am stupidly shy with my writing. That and the risk of metagaming.. Though I have considered keeping a copy in google docs of them so that I could link them to people outside of my FC if I was brave enough. If I opt to go with that I'll send you a PM.

Welcome!

Match round 3 is up, I'm going to be sending PM's to the conversation starters this time to make sure they're aware As previously stated, I'll keep on matching people for as long as there's interest. Edit: Anyone who didn't get matched up will be matched up as soon as there's more people to match with.

I couldn't describe my feelings so have a gif instead.

Welcome
