Done.

It seems almost everyone has managed to switch their plot (or that’s what it feels like) the calendar will be updated as soon as humanly possible. By that I mean, I’ll get to it when I’m caffeinated so I don’t botch everything, esp with the changes still trickling in. For now if you have an event and a new house, to expedite things, email [email protected]. I get notifications there (still working out why I don’t with the submission form. Anyway…. I hope everyone got the FC houses they wanted. o7 Edit: Or just reply here, and let me know event name, next event date, new location. I can get them sorted that way too.

I do like these definitions. It's odd trying to blend answers to other people's definitions as there are so many ways to describe the many styles of play. I guess by this set I prefer strict personally but persona seems to be the way to go in this day and age. I have so many hesitations on this myself. I feel I have agency over my own creations. I have issues with bending lore or declaring NPC actions It's difficult for me to push past that, especially when interacting with those I'm unfamiliar with.

Being immersive doesn't restrict you from chatting OOC. It's just that doing too much of it in the middle of the scene breaks the immersion. I don't see why it would be a problem outside of RP though? For some people knowing the other folks you're RPing with rather well outside of RP can make keeping the IC RP organic. Bleed through happens both ways. For example, It's really hard for me to keep people out of their characters when responding to them. I'm more likely to be more lenient ICly with a friend or to steer RP towards stuff they enjoy more then let the character respond authentically. This is especially true when in situations that define relationships (not the romantic kind, but interpersonal. IE: an adversary is still a relationship between people). IC bonds get made easier when you're chatting with the person behind the scenes. It's easy to get caught up in possibilities and stories that way work out ways the characters can mesh even if it wouldn't otherwise organically happen. Mind you, I do a lot of OOC chatting, just not much with those I'm currently ICly interacting with. That said, it's been a while since I've done really serious RP like that. (read: years) I don't think there are enough living world style immersive RPers, even on Balmung to make it work.

If you're looking into more real world sources for the "punching swords" (If I remember right the ones in game are really extravagant katars or push daggers), it might be worth doing some research into Southern Asian martial arts (Kalarippayatu and Sihk/Gatka from India in particular as they're known to have used the katar) There are a few nifty videos out there on them. Expanding your repertoire from those systems (or Northern Long Fist/Changquan which takes a bit of inspiration form Kalarippayatu) might help keep your character's system consistent. As far as what my character uses most of what he does is based on Southern Five Animal Kung Fu but that's mostly because I'd studied it for so long.

I haven't done research RP in this game, mostly in others. This sort of thing really works well for forum RP as you can treat it as an exchange of research notes and let others ICly hop in. The forum works well as an archive since you can reference old posts, etc. ICly these could reside in a library somewhere or as archived missives between research groups. This also lets you 'show your work' so to speak. We also mostly stuck to theoretical research as we have no actual input on the creative process for the game. A few lines of dialog in a patch and your theory can be rendered moot. (Which is awesome for RP, btw. Then you get a lot of re-evaluation of the subject matter, etc.)

How immersive RPers handle people who RP bad guys. In short, don't handle the player, handle the character. It really depends on the type of antagonist. In all cases I prefer to leave the reactions as IC as possible with little OOC contact (unless situation merits it.) I feel you get more 'true' and organic reactions when it's the character reacting to the character without being clouded by foreknowledge or consideration for the person behind the keyboard. A character -will- fail more this way, but conflict breeds character development. I have one exception to this, is I abjectly avoid RP with 'stupid-evil' characters because it never ends well. (Stupid evil to means evil without consideration of consequence or feasibility. The evil for evil's sake types like the "I burn the orphanage in the middle of the city down and I somehow escape notice" situations.) I never really RP a guard / authority type PC so it's easy for me to just say 'Leave it to the Yellow Jackets to deal with" and walk away. If all else fails having your character spontaneously catch fire and run away screaming can get you out of most unsavory RP situations. I absolutely love a well thought out intelligent-evil antagonist (read: the good guy of their own story) and conflict with them is often a real treat.

On Immersive vs Avatar vs Self RP. Self RP is something I worry about because there's often way too much bleed over. People are reacting to an extension of yourself, and it becomes difficult to isolate your real self from the impact of this because the character is mostly you. It's a dangerous thing for self-insertion, for these reasons. I would say there is a little bit of self in every character because it's impossible not to have that happen, but playing mostly self makes it especially dangerous. (edit: Neneso covered this nicely) Now, Immersive RP is my bread and butter. I love being able to shed myself and immerse myself in the character in the world. It's not much different from a mix of improv and method acting. Key things I like to do with this is avoid meta/OOC information. I want to know what my character knows and very little past that about other characters. Ideally, I won't even know the other players OOCly at all. That way I'm having my character react to their characters in an organic fashion. If things go well, things go well, if things go horribly they go horribly. These are things that help develop the character and build realism and keep RP dynamic. There is a bit more self in this, a bit more danger of bleed over (it's unavoidable) then avatar RP as you're blocking out you for the character while playing. I'm not sure which of these you're referring to exactly. It's difficult to find people who RP like either of these as both styles seem to have really fallen out of favor in the last 5-10 years due to a number of factors. At one point the immersive style RP was the norm on most games I played on. This was over a decade ago however, and times have changed. MMO's have become mainstream, Roleplay isn't as much a 'thing reserved for the geeks and nerds' in societies eyes but socially acceptable. The change in major styles has also followed certain societal changes that I'm not sure if it's appropriate to get into too much depth here on, but I've seen the more controlled avatar RP pick up as society in general has become more fearful in general then open. As the base trust between people has faded, that lack of trust impacts how we play as well.

Having a few issues with Google Calendar choking and unable to add events. I'll keep trying intermittently until it clears up. I'm wondering if I need to start purging old events entirely instead of just the recurring ones. Here we are, roleplayers potentially pushing the limits of things.

Congratulations on getting this one up and running. Let me know if you need any further help. Collaboration is a fun thing.

On non-locked servers there is a small prejudice on really low level characters because it's a tactic used to create new 'troll' characters. That said, once you get to be about 15 that prejudice seems to go away. This is pretty convenient because that is about when, through the MSQ you can fly to the other main cities. With a lot of content being locked behind MSQ points, it's worth leveling the characters up a bit anyway. If you want to do Ishgarde RP, you need to be able to get into Ishgarde. Same thing for Kugane. If you don't want to level / transfer your main, there are leveling / story skip items in the mog store to help. If you are going to transfer, make a full batch of 8 to transfer at the same time. It's the same cost to move the full set. On the WoL issue, I've seen people RPing through the MSQ as the fellow adventurers called on by the WoL at times to fight primals, etc, but not the WoL themselves. That said there are a few groups that actively RP as named NPC's (Sions, the Sultana, etc) running around on multiple servers so take it with a grain of salt.

About being a thief.... We are in a non-moderated environment there are no GM/DM/etc to vet our actions against one another. This requires that there be some sort of OOC collaboration on conflicting events. In short, you can do nothing to another player that they don't want you to do. Additionally without that OOC communication there is no one to tell you how said item you're trying to steal is secured. Is it bolted into the wall? Is there some pressure sensor to set off an alarm when you lift it or other esoteric system one might have in place for a rather valuable item. If they're in an FC, work it out with an officer of said FC perhaps? This would allow the mark to be ignorant of your actions, but things like how the item is secured could be covered. What I tend to do is just emote pocketing something mid conversation and take whatever consequences happen from that. Erah'sae tends to only do it with foodstuff though (oranges and the like) so I think I get away with more that way then you will be likely to with stealing something irreplaceable.
