[align=center]You hear it in murmurs around the tavern, in hushed tones from voices far down the darkened alleyway, and in gossip among the men and women at the markets. You hear word of a grand prize, of daring feats of strength and skill, but that's all you ever hear of it, the word of mouth. There are no posters on the walls, no articles in the Tonberry's Lantern, not even scouring through the library's archives turns up results of the mysterious event.[/align] [align=center]The Grand Eorzean Battle Royale[/align] Hello and welcome to the Battle Royale forum thread! A bi-weekly competition held over the course of two weeks where competitors duke it out to claim the top spot for the grand prize of 50,000 gil! [align=center]How the competition works[/align] -Each competitor is given two tokens that act as their lifeline through the duration of the competition. -Each time a competitor loses a battle, they must forfeit a token to the victor. -A competitor may lose two times before they are disqualified from the competition. -The winner of the competition is whoever has the most tokens at the end of the two weeks, or whoever has all of the tokens before the time limit is up. [align=center]Grand Eorzean Battle Royale rules[/align] -Competitors are not allowed to kill one another. -The world is the stage! Competitors may battle one-another wherever they are encountered, be it in the middle of the cozy tavern or in the frozen wastes of the far North. -Out-of-character: Competitors are advised to wear the "Looking For Party" tag on their search info in order to more easily recognize one-another. -Out-of-character: Fights will be performed under typical Grindstone rules. [align=center]How to enter[/align] Given the nature of the competition, speaking from an in-character standpoint there is no sign-up, no meeting place, no liaison to work through in order to join. However, out-of-character, if you wish to join, simply reply to this post as follows: [align=center][Your character name] wishes to participate in the Grand Eorzea Battle Royale starting on [Date listed][/align] You will then be invited to a Discord group that will serve as an out-of-character hub to make meeting up, score-tracking, and and answering questions much easier. At the end of every session, the Discord group will be vacated to make room for the next batch of contestants.

Hello everyone! I'm new to posting here in the forums, but I've been RPing in FF14 since a couple months after 2.0 launched. That being said, I've not planned many events in the past and I'd like some help putting one together. Long story short it's an Eorzea-wide battle royale in a similar vein to that of TYPE-MOON's Fate/ series. I don't know if people have done this before in the past, and if they have, my apologies for producing an old idea. For those of you unfamiliar with the Fate/ series, the premise is there is a wish-granting Holy Grail that is fought over by seven mages who summon the heroic spirits of historic legend such as King Arthur and Alexander the Great as their servants. Granted, I know this premise is inherently flawed as the history of Hydaelyn is relatively unknown to us so there is little to draw on in the form of heroic spirits. So, I would rather change the idea to regular adventurers for the sake of simplicity and opening it up to as many people as possible. If anyone is willing to help me brainstorm ideas (rules, guidelines, OoC and IC management, etc.) it would be very much appreciated. I don't want to overlook anything.

Seventh day of the Sixth Umbral Moon, Year five of the Seventh Umbral Era "Words cannot describe my contempt towards the Monetarists at this point. The way t" The azure-haired girl stops her writing, quill quivering in her trembling hand as her knuckles run white and threaten to snap the thing in two. With a low, rumbling groan, she tears the page from her leather-bound note and sets it ablaze against the dancing flame of a lone candle perched neatly upon the corner of her desk. She watches the parchment be consumed by the fires of cleansing destruction before tossing the last scrap she could hold aside and letting the blaze finish the job. "Nobody can know. There can be no evidence. Just myself...and my thoughts." She leans over her desk and cradles her forehead in her palms. How had everything gone so wrong so quickly? Not even a moon ago, Aldyet was on her way to becoming a fully-fledged Sultansworn. She would have graduated with her peers and joined the ranks of her comrades...her family. Now it seems like that dream grows further and further from reality with each passing bell. That there is nothing to do about Jameson's wretched hold on the people she cares for most in this world. No. There is something. Gharen Wolfsong. Ala Mhigan, resistance fighter, terrorist. They want him. Why? To root out other members of the resistance? A man with a reputation such as his doesn't seem to be the kind of man to so easily sell out his brothers- and sisters-in-arms. The Ala Mhigans are a hearty, stubborn bunch. Even the less-violent types are given a wide berth by Thanalanian law enforcement. To think Roen would be related to such a man, it defies belief. Roen...a Garlean, just like herself. A kindred spirit in this unforgiving city. She is rightly troubled by all this, insistent on telling Aldyet to stop her incessant prodding, but Ald is too far in to turn back now. She stands from her chair and crosses her dimly-lit room towards the door, reaching for the hand and freezing dead in her tracks. She turns about to return to her desk and before long she is pacing about the room, biting her nail with anxious thought after anxious thought. Roen is a Garlean...Wolfsong is Ala Mhigan...that...doesn't make sense. What is going on here? What isn't Natalie telling me? Natalie. Her ally, her mentor, her Jali, her family, and the one person who knows everything and refuses to explain regardless of what Aldyet has proven she can do on her own. Why does everything have to be a godsdamned secret with her? If she doesn't trust me, she'd only have to say it and that would be that. She's not the only one who knows more than they let on... Osric. What's his stake in all this? Something about that woman, Rema, the vials of "antidote," C'kayah's own vial, the man who "cannot be killed" because of some bizarre regenerative property. There's too many pieces on the table, pieces of a larger, perhaps even unrelated puzzle. For now, all the girl can do is focus on the task at hand. Capture Gharen Wolfsong without Roen knowing her involvement. A daunting task. Aldyet sits upon her bed, sighing heavily while she falls back and stares up at the ceiling. "It's just a mess...a massive, ridiculous mess...I should've stayed with my weaver training..." Aldyet rises from her bed to sit upon it and look around her empty room with an absentminded stare. She rises to her feet and walks over to a small dresser and leans against it, pondering. She continues to meander about the room, thinking, biting her thumb nail, glancing about at nothing, sitting on, beside, and against the meager furnishings. She gows about like this for the better half of a bul, until, as she is toying with a strand of her deep blue hair, her heart skips a beat and a shuddered gasp escapes her lips. "The core...?"

I think it's all based on the situation. For the most part I think it takes place in whatever time you start, and then you use real-life time after that. So if it's morning in the game, say 8:30 AM, and we talk for an hour IRL, even though it'd probably midnight by then in game by the time we finish, I treat it as though they stopped talking at 9:30 AM.

I almost never see anyone use the "Looking For Party" tag under Search Info, so I was wondering, to make things easier for people looking for random RP, if one could use that to say so "Hey! I'm available for RP!"

I'm partial to the variety of members this Free Company is aiming for, yet they're all focused on one cause. You get the crazies, the brooders, the princesses, etc. Yet the all the players make their characters fit into the group and achieve the goals set up by the FC leader. I'm a big fan of the events as well, keeps things from getting stale.
