No reason it couldn't be an IC radio drama broadcast over linkpearls or something, is there? 8-)

While I'm in love with the NPCs and tone in Ul'dah and Gridania has the added bonus of :moogle:, Limsa will almost definitely be my starting city.

Oh, I was in Phoenix, 'round 7th Street-ish. Boring ol' suburbia. I've gone ahead and rerolled onto Besaid and ohhhhh, man. I really love the NPCs in Ul'dah, it's kind of ridiculous. They're so FRIENDLY.

Wholly agreed. I grew up in Arizona, where we used Mountain Time -- which ignores daylight savings. Never changes. MOUNTAIN SUPREMACY :cheer: ...and now I'm in Georgia. :cry:

Voting's not closed until 11pm Eastern, dudes. It's 10 now. We're not quite done with this horse and pony show yet. :lol:

Yup. A vote's a vote. 8-)

Eh, I'm leaving my vote as originally cast. I have no beef with the people purported to be utilizing Lindblum, it's where my friends are going, and... well... I already voted for it. I voted for it because it was my first choice. That honestly has not changed. I expect that HACK will follow the RPC wherever it goes, but I, personally, like how the vote was turning out originally just fine.

Let this be a lesson to us all. If you don't want to end up on an overly popular server, don't determine your server via popular vote. :lol:

Darn, and here I was hoping I'd been helpful. Google-Fu, you have failed me for the last time.

At least part of BlueGartr is rolling Figaro.

Airships always win.

Exactly! The trick is: don't make yourself a target by being an RP elitist! :moogle:

I actually RP around Goons in Champions Online. All you have to do is either ignore them or be willing to have some goofy fun and roll with it, and they're actually a pretty fun bunch of dudes. I know it's irrelevant here, looking at the poll, but I did want to try and ease some worries about them. Not all Goons are assholes. vvv And I do agree with the points listed below. Room for more RPers is always good. Hopefully server capacity won't be a huge issue. vvv

And we can't be nice if they're not nice to us first? Honestly, and I promise that I am speaking from experience here, if someone is griefing you for being an RPer, all you have to do is ignore them. They will get bored and go find somebody else to bother. I share a server with Goons elsewhere, Goons are infamous for that sort of behavior, and all you have to do is follow the age-old adage: don't feed the trolls. I know it can be hard, but we just have to chillax. No matter where we end up, there will be people that think that we are colossal dorks. Just remember that they're playing a silly game, too, and are just as dorky, just in a different way. Ignore whatever slams come your way. The people you play with are more important than those you play around.

If you want a low-pop server, then the server that loses this poll the hardest is obviously the winner. 8-)

Two large fansites worth of people overloading a single server would be pretty depressing, from a server capacity standpoint. (Not to say I don't consider it probable, given Squeenix, but -- yeah, would be depressing.) I don't mind high-population servers because it means more people to play with, buy from and sell to, so we'll have to see how this shakes out.

Forgive the newb, but why do we want to avoid Core?

I, too, am filled with happiness at seeing how popular Lindblum is. Love that game, love that name.

It's like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon only with catgirls going fishing on the ferry, instead.

HACK! is a company of adventurers and artisans that have been brought together under a common banner for three noble causes: * For Good * For Glory * For Profit While there are representatives of HACK! in all of Eorzeaâs major cities, the bulk of the company is nomadic, traveling the wilds of Eorzea in chocobo-pulled wagon caravans as their work demands. There are rumors that the company may one day invest in an airship or even a seaworthy vessel to extend their reach, but considering they have business partners with access to both methods of travel, it is unclear just how accurate the rumors might be. The company itself has a mysterious, unseen financial backer, and theories abound as to their true identity. (The âKupo!â in the companyâs name lends itself towards certain conclusions that, while improbable, are not entirely impossible.) While every member of HACK! has different motives behind their membership and methods that they utilize in doing their part, it cannot be denied that the company attracts those who are good of heart (whether they realize it or not) and generally honorable (is it still stealing if youâre robbing a bandit?), certainly when compared to those who would be considered their rivals⦠Server: Besaid Leaders/contacts: Cid_Mercer (TheDart on homepage), Tomman_Porsal (Ivarian on homepage), Kaela Reinquist (Zizi on homepage) RP Style: Medium RP Website/forum: (Currently on temporary hosting and in a beta state, as are the forums -- make sure you read the AUP and Known Issues before posting!) Headquarters: HACK has representatives in all of the major cities of Eorzea; the "primary headquarters" is designated on the fly, determined by wherever the higher-ups are congregating at any given point in time. Linkshell interactions: The Crimson Blades, the GoldenMyst airship crew and the Guardians of Balance are all friends of HACK, the groups frequently coming together to work towards common ends. Application criteria/process: There is an application that can be filled out on our site. Provided that an applicant is willing to abide by the linkshell's rules (which really boil down to "Be Excellent To Each Other" and "Rated T for Teen"), approval should be as simple as having a character concept that fits the group and presenting yourself as a mature, fun person to be around. Unfortunately, however, recruitment for HACK is currently closed, pending a few patches to the game that get us all eager to play again. Rules: Our policies can be found on our site; we have rules of conduct, our rating, an alt policy and some tips for applicants. We are also completely fine with members belonging to more than one linkshell on their HACK! character, just as long as we actually see enough activity from them that we know they're still interested in participating. Additional info: Our site is currently on hosting generously donated by a friend, so we will be up and moving everything come October. Everything should transfer fine, but if people want to wait to become involved on the site until after the move, we completely understand. We are a lighthearted group that is as much about roleplaying as we are about playing the game together, creating a community of people who have shared interests and giving them the tools they need (namely, our overall site) to stay in touch even as their attention shifts to other games that catch their attention. HACK! itself is of a decent size, currently sitting at around forty people, but we expect this number to fluctuate as more applicants join our ranks and we see some inevitable dropoffs after the initial free month has concluded. HACK! can still be found in-game, but recruitment is now closed.

I've got one, though I should note that I often use some, erm, colorful language, so reader beware.
