Chris Ganale

I wonder if my bounty hunter would get an assistance fee for helping break up a fight and drag the offending parties to the goals. ...Who am I kidding, his armor makes him look Garlean so if the law showed up they'd probably all try to take him out.

Oh damn, I forgot I was going to look into this. Next time. /ironman

Brother, if only I could find them. The only place I know of is my FC house, which is ICly a tavern that we occasionally RP at when prompted or we decide to have a tavern night.

Might not be an out and out bounty, but it's the sort of thing my hunter would have at least a passing interest in. If I get the wild hair I might have him catch wind of this missive. Welcome to game, though, and hope you enjoy yourself.

I don't have a problem with the Quicksand. A lot of people, however, do, which makes it difficult to find RP. And insofar as the point of telling other people "hey, I've created a new RP hub" well, if it was so easy, why is the QS still the one spot known to everyone?

Well....I fish on Chao (and very rarely at that anymore) instead of try to open a connections thread here because A) I have a tendency toward unnecessary and strangely-termed description which typically comes off as passive aggressive and B) I've already been attacked three times in two days by the lore police with her.

It's just a shame there's really no other major hubs to meet people in, because when I feel like fishing for some RP with Chao I really don't have much in the way of options of where to go. And that's not even considering that her story basically has her living in Ul'dah for now.

Definitely putting my bank behind materia. For a while, my lady friend and I were stockpiling savage aim/might for relic, then we decided we didn't have the patience to go past atma and purged it all at once. Tahz went from like 70k to 2.7m overnight. In my experience, it's easy for me because I have a character with all crafts to 50 and my FC keeps our chest stocked with all mats, so I craft gear for all my characters and make a new set whenever it spiritbonds so I have a rather steady flow of money. ...When I'm actually leveling. -Glares at Tahz's untouched NIN and Chao's half-finished BLM-

It would depend on the nature of their leaving, I think. A mild case of the wanderlust probably wouldn't be thought of too badly by their tribe, but if they were dropping mics and peacing out, then yeah, they're probably not welcome back.

I've always viewed it the same way Natalie does. There's different single-letter tribes for different areas, but then if somebody peaces out from one to start another, they get a subletter. It's how I explain how Tahz is a R' from La Noscea when most of the other R' people I've seen are all from Thanalan.

It's just my very-removed observation on the matter, but all the people who I've seen running around Ul'dah with nunh in their name either weren't aware of the significance when they created the character and haven't bothered to name-change, or are completely independent and use it under the "I do what I want" mindset. I've only ever heard of one city-based nunh who actually still is one, but I haven't actually seen the guy. I mean, when Tahz peaced out from his tribe he could very well have taken the nunh title to boost his image, but not only is that indicative of an arrogance that he completely lacks, he had, by that point, failed fifteen challenges and was completely done with having to put up with that stuff, and just arbitrarily taking the name in the ill-conceived hope that it might give him a better chance to get with a city cat would have basically invalidated all the hardship he'd lived through. He still keeps the tia because he A) is too lazy to come up with an actual last name and B) is too accustomed to having it attached to his name to the point he basically feels that it is his last name.

Let's keep in mind that I have one Seeker and from all the various lore discussions I've read, my take on Seeker lore is a pale mockery of the accepted interpretations. I have always considered breeding male to be the sole job of the nunh, because if you look at Forgotten Springs, that guy just sits around and doles out quests all day and lets his two tias do all the work of the day-to-day running of the tribe. But this doesn't seem to be the commonly-accepted interpretation and I will admit that my view on this is rather one-dimensional. I would not think that being a nunh would allow the flexibility to be an adventurer at all. A tribe being big enough for multiple nunhs just means that the breeding females are divvied up between the two (or more) nunhs, not that they can treat the nunh job like shift work. As for the nature of challenges, I have always assumed that they're not intended to be mortal in nature. But I've skimmed several dozen male Seeker pages whose histories mentioned having partaken of or witnessed a to-the-death challenge. So to me, it makes perfect sense if your character's father is still kicking around as a tia. I'm not at all qualified to answer the question of Seeker romance because my one Seeker is an extreme anomaly in that he's had a romantic idealism from his childhood, and therefore didn't view things in the traditional tribal nature.

I make money by hoarding up clusters while I'm out doing other gathering, waiting until I have some number over 100 that evenly divides into 3, then split them to sell between my retainers. It doesn't make me as much as my real money source (materia), but it's a nice little boost every other week. (I don't gather as much as I should)

It would definitely be closer to real-world standards to divide into categories.

Though I am diametrically-opposed to roll-based combat systems unless I'm playing D&D, I would skip work and sleep to be at every one of these. Other than that, I really have nothing valid to contribute.

My character was shot by a Garlean while wearing magically-enhanced armor. This particular shot was notable amongst the countless others he had to deal with throughout the preceding encounter because this shot in question hit him not on a plate but on the chain armor in the gap between where the cuirass stops and the sabatons start. He probably would've bled out had there not been approximately twenty thousand healers on hand.

I don't have much of a vested interest in the Grindstone, but that sounds very anticlimactic.

I am so torn as this hits all of my interests at once but I don't have a single character in a position to partake of this. All of my characters are already in a casual FC that my friends keep, and my one actual Flames-related character is retired. My techy character is probably outside the scope of acceptable bounds and is employed already anyway. But one of my FCmates is pushing me to at least poke around, so here I am. I feel like I'm wasting everyone's time, though.

It may have just been emphasis.

You joke about gun kata, Chachani, but that is Yuuna's fighting style with pistols. Mind that she traditionally will use the longer, carbine-type weapons machinists get for longer and intermediate ranges. Gun Fu comes out when someone closes to melee distance. In any case, I'm on a phone on a lunch break right now so I don't have the time or means to expound my thoughts on guns in a fantasy environment, other than to say I always have and will take the side of guns in such a debate. I'll come back after work and expand on it.

I cheat when it comes to RP romance. All my characters who have love interests, those love interests are played by my actual girlfriend. It works for me because I am abundantly aware that I've had issues in the past with separation of character and person. Do I now? I'm honestly not sure. I don't think I do, because one of my friends plays a roe that hates miqo'te and therefore terrifies my main. My secondary is also terrified of her because he watched her break whole coconuts with her thighs one day (long story). But the actual player is awesome and amongst my closest friends. But I always wonder if I can really do that separation, becuase I call all my in-game friends by their character names and occasionally act under the assumption that their characters act like them. I'm also guilty of playing characters who are me in a different skin. There's a reason why R'tahz had such a specific number of challenges to become nunh (read: get a woman) before he got fed up and quit. You read the early life of Ganale and you've read my early life. R'tahz being such a goody-goody is a joke at the mental block I have against playing evil characters. -Shrugs- But I've had no complaints so far so I must be doing something right.

Thanks for the tip, me and my lady snatched one up.

The same people who regard miqo'te as full-on furries, I'd imagine. Also, people going for a joke.
