I agree with Lament here. Let's look at the definition of elitism: the advocacy or existence of an elite as a dominating element in a system or society. Who exactly are they dominating? The new people? GG, bro. Standards? Standards are good. Elitists? Elitists are bad. But that good and bad applies to your views on others and their views on you. When it all boils down to it, we all have to start somewhere. There are people who claim to have been roleplaying for twelve plus years that do things I sometimes find questionable. Do I call them on that? No. Do I sit there and try to point out how my approach is just better? No. Giving my position on things is done solely in an effort to show that there is more than one view about it. If you have been labeled as an elitist, you should probably be offended; not to say that it might not apply, as it might, but being dubbed one denotes that what you do is not conducive to community interaction or social interaction and those two things are kind of the basis for fleshy roleplay. No matter how good you think you are or how much back up you think you have to testify your goodness there is really no way to -define- what makes you better. Grammar? Immersion? Creativity? Are you just -better- at thinking than other people or are you better at conveying those thoughts? Better is relative. I would rather sit there and RP with someone who has no idea where they're going but is trying their hardest to be the best they can than someone who has an amazing character story but the worst OOC personality. And really, that's what it comes down to. If you're intolerable to most as a person, it'll very likely carry into your roleplay and I'll end up with a bunch of tells correcting my typos. I don't typo all the time, I take five minutes to look up a word if I forgot how to spell it, and the majority of people are right in that boat with me. I'm just not going to be on board with someone who holds a person's lack of lore knowledge or RP knowledge or the amount of time they can play or fashion sense or anything against them. I have standards but in terms of roleplay, I only offer advice and I do not feel the need to spit on someone or many someones for the sake of their differing opinion. Many people I find that try to make 'elitism' palatable by changing -what it means- and presenting it in a light that makes them favorable usually bear all of those characteristics that tend to ostracize others. I personally refuse to accept those words as good because of the full breadth of their meaning. It doesn't mean you're just 'better' than everyone else. It means you -think- you're better, and as I said, better is relative. There is nothing that these two have said that I can say better. It is a game being a veteran does not mean you know how to have fun better then anyone else. If they ask for your aid offer it. If they did not it is not welcome. They are making a choice to have fun as they determine it. Join in or move on. That is your choice. Whichever you choose they will continue to have fun either way. Cheers and +1 to you both.

Really appreciate it and hope you and everyone can come! We want to see 60 to 80 people down for this! We had 40 consistently last time!

I look forward to seeing everyone and will add you guys on my friends list tonight if we are all on to talk as well! Konner

D'ren, my dear friend! I am and always shall be prepared for whatever adventures we might have together. I was absolutely floored when I met you that day in game and you told me of your past. I look forward to the days that will come with us adventuring together should you desire it. Konner

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night! Should be fun. Anyone wanting to work as a bar tender, we could use the help! Those who are interested in performing: We have some things planned, but come down and we will see how things work out. We may also schedule a performance night to allow everyone their desired time at a later date. We will wait and see how things go tomorrow. See you then!

Thank you everyone for your support on this! I like the suggestion that we are renting out the tavern. We will go with that. Looking for a proprietor now above all else. We need someone who would have access to a bit of wealth for this to make sense RP wise. Please reply here if you are that person! We have a chef/bartender and one waitress. We are close to making this happen!

Welcome! Totally get where you are coming from on character. I am playing a gladiator ATM and waiting for samurai. I too hate tanking and am way behind on dungeons because of it Glad to have you here and if you wanna dream of classes to be added together just shoot me a /tell in game to Konner Kinkaid. RP always ready as well!

Welcome and very glad you are here! If you want to add me to your f list it is Konner Kinkaid. If you need anything just ask!

Welcome and very glad to have you! Should you need anything just ask! Konner

We have started seeking alternate members to ensure a group of eight each meeting session. We are looking for the most unique characters. If you have a very different kind of character, this is a linkshell to look into. Please contact me here of via PM if interested!

I will attempt to contact you in game. Konner Kinkaid

I have seen many people on here asking where is the open RP? I commend those who are saying where their linkshells meet to try and help foster this, but I think we are not addressing the matter that is being requested. The comes on the heels of the linkshell I am in, The Seven, having a great time together in our group, but I want to try and address these concerns as they are being requested. Saying come in, read the links and join a linkshell is good, but many here are asking for open RP. It has to go beyond every-once-and-awhile events and asking them to walk up and start talking to established groups. We are not properly quashing the myths that surround legacy players and Balmung with this approach. The idea here is to have a 'Cheers' sort of place, where everyone can congregate openly to meet and RP without care for established linkshell ties or previous relationships. The idea would be that a small group of 4-6 people would 'run' the Coffer and the Coffin for a scheduled night each week. The group that would 'run' it would be sort of pc npcs that anyone who came down during this time could interact with to help those players break the ice a bit. They would also be permanent fixtures players could count on to be there at the C & C to speak with and grow woth as characters. I know the idea that there would be a group that 'ran' the C & C outside of Ul'Dah would be dismissed by some as 'not fitting with the established game'. I understand this, but again, this is about our members, which are crying out for something more. I am not saying this is the best idea, just an option worth trying. We would need: 1 - Proprietor - A noble or someone who is wealthy to act as the 'owner'. 1 - Barkeep - Someone who has some culinary skills in game to make it more fun 1 or 2 - Servers - Those who would tend tables and entertain patrons. Bards would be good for this I will provide security as a bouncer. Those wishing to be involved as the main group will need to be prepared to be online once a week at an established date and time, most likely a weekend evening and have a linkshell spot open so we can have communication between each other during the events. Please reply here, PM me here or in game to me. The date and times we schedule will be posted here once the positions are filled. Please note that this is merely an idea to help foster and grow this community. It is my way to attempt to give back to the community in aid. I hope others will see it as such and assist willingly. Thank you! Konner Kinkaid - aka faceman7381
