Delegation is a big one. Find those who are your "leader" types, those that are more than willing to help keep things moving and share the load and promote them to officer positions (if they want). When you have people to help share the load, it really is easier on you. Also, please remember this is your game time too! If all you do is stuff for your FC, it will become a job rather than the fun experience with friends it should be. If you need to take a little break for a night, let your officers know. I promise they'll understand and cover for you so you can do what you want and return to your position rejuvenated.

Previously I worked for Right from the Start Medicaid in Georgia. I'm now a house wife going back to school for a second degree in Accounting... cause my first one could only get me a job working for Medicaid... and dealing with DFCS. School for the win!

Hello there! I'm one of the leaders of the Tonberry Trading Troupe, a tavern and inn that houses a merc group. We're based out of the Lavender Beds so your Gridanian guard duty could easily play into our group's RP. We are a medium RP FC who enjoys end game and has a number of members racing towards Heavensward as well. Lots of help. If you're interested, our website is tonberrytradingtroupe.enjin.com. Feel free to give us a look. If you want, you can hit me up on here or send me a message in game, Ereshkigal Atropos. Either way I hope you enjoy your game time and find a home that suites you!

Hi there! My name is Eresh and I'm one of the leaders of the Tonberry Trading Troupe. We have players from all around the world who are on various schedules and at various times. We're more than happy to work with anyone and you can RP with us as much or as little as you like. You can just be a resident of the inn or you can become a part of the tavern staff or the merc group housed there. We're really flexible. If you want to check us out, our website is tonberrytradingtroupe.enjin.com. You can also contact me here via PM, our website or hit me up in game under Ereshkigal Atropos. Either way, I hope you find what you're looking for and have a blast in the game!

She looks amazing! You did an awesome job, hun!

Our FC has an inn and tavern that usually has people in it RPing. We're open to the public so you can stop by and see who is around. Wanderer's Lantern Lavender Beds Ward 1 Plot 38 We're also hosting Clio's drinking contest tomorrow. Feel free to stop by and say hi! Never know who you'll click with.

Our FC is a tavern located in the Lavender Beds. We try to have a monthly event to let everyone know we're out there as well as invite our "regulars" to a LS so they can ask if we're around if they don't want to just wander in and RP with an NPC until someone gets there. We tend to have our own members as well as regulars show up in the evenings to RP throughout the week. People are more than welcome to come by. In fact, Clio is holding her Drinking Contest there on the 29th! Wanderer's Lantern Lavender Beds Ward 1 Plot 38

Can I say I'm tired of the lies and the bullshit? I get not liking someone. Fine. That doesn't mean you have to be hateful to them or anyone associated with them. If you don't like someone, just don't be around them. It's really not that hard. There is no reason to bad mouth and make stuff up about that person or their FC just so you can feel better about yourself. Did it ever dawn on you that you're hurting more than just the person you're pissed at? Well, did it? Or do you even give two shits? Has your childishness made you feel any fucking better? We're adults here, why is it so hard to act like that? Just because you're online and in a video game doesn't give anyone the right to be a total bitch. If you wouldn't do it in your real life, don't do it here. If you wouldn't want it done to you, don't do it to others. I'll be honest when I say I no longer have any desire to RP in this game and I'm not even the one everyone seems to have issues with. I'm just a bystander who gets to see it all... over and over and over again. I have never seen such hatred, childishness and lack of respect for others in my life and I HAVE played other MMOs. I'm appalled by this kind of behavior. It would never even cross my mind to do this to someone else so forgive me for not understanding how it's so easy for others to do this. Please, the next time you're upset with someone, before you do anything, think about how you would feel if it were done to you or your friends. Please don't hide behind the fact this is a video game. There are real people behind the characters... real people who just want to have a little bit of fun when they're online. You don't know what happens in their day to day life. This might be their only escape and when you pull stunts like this... it could ruin more than just their game time. So please, please, please, please think before you act.

Thank you to everyone who came! We had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed you all coming out!

Honestly, I'd invite you out here to the U.S. but we end up going through the exact same thing. Unfortunately, neither party is really "better". It's all about the money and not the people that should be represented put first. That being said, if I could afford to pay someone else a salary, I'd hire you! We have a spare room and animal babies! Only cute and fluffies here!

Can I say how much I love your plushies? I might need to count my change jar soon because let's be honest, he ---> :tonberry: would be cute as a plushie.

Bumped up! Just a reminder that the event is tomorrow night! Please come out and let's have some fun!

I love art! Would you consider doing mine? "

[/align] [align=center]Tonight's featured entertainment is provided by our very own Magma Dancer and her Chocobo Chowdown Challenge! Are you bird... *coughs* I mean MAN enough to try our little challenge? [/align] [align=center]The Where:[/align] [align=center]Wanderer's Lantern Inn and Tavern[/align] [align=center]Lavender Beds, Ward 1, Plot 38[/align] [align=center](Southwest Subdivision Aethernet Shard)[/align] [align=center]The When:[/align] [align=center]We will begin serving drinks and dinner at 6 PM EST on the 9th of May[/align] [align=center]The Who:[/align] [align=center]You! Wanderer's welcomes the citizens of Eorzea and beyond to come and enjoy the festivities![/align] OOC Info: The event will be held at the tavern on Saturday, May 9th, 2015 starting at 6 PM EST. We're a small FC looking to give the RP community somewhere else to RP besides the Sands. We have a tavern, private dining hall that can be rented out and inn rooms available. Yes, we will cater any private and/or FC meetings for others out there who would like it. Now that you know a little bit about us here is some information on the Chocobo Chowdown Challenge. Anyone may enter with a 500 gil entrance fee. Our winner will be awarded 50K gil and half of the entrance fees. In the event Sudden Death happens, the second place winner will receive a prize as well. As a side note, the Chocobo Chowdown is a regular event at our tavern. If you come by at random and would like to participate, please feel free. All winners, at both the event and normal business times, will get their picture taken and put up in a Hall of Fame on our website! Chocobo Chowdown Challenge Explained: [align=center]THE CHOCOBO CHOWDOWN CHALLENGE[/align] You, yes you! You've done it all before, right? You've fought in the grindstone, drank 'til you passed out at the monthly drinking contest, rolled dice and played cards until you won jackpots or lost shirts. Luck, skill and iron control of your body are what you're all about, right, adventurer? You say you've just about run out of challenges. We say, hold on there. Your own feathered companion has a challenge for you that we aren't quite sure if you can handle. You can drink like a fish, but can you eat like a Chocobo? Everyone knows that our birds go crazy over foods that are too bitter and strong for any other species to enjoy, but aren't you your bird's master? Aren't you the potent, iron-bellied adventurer that laughs at the strongest boozes and toughest challenges? Can you stomach the foods that your own steed craves? We challenge you to eat what your bird eats easily... but that we bet will send your tummy whirling, adventurer! [align=center]YOUR MENU[/align] Get ready! Before you, you will find a plate containing a healthy bite of each one of the following, wrapped in a Gysahl Green leaf: 1) Xelphatol Apple 2) Doman Plum 3) Mamook Pear 4) Valfruit 5) O'Ghomoro Berry 6) Cieldalaes Pineapple 7) Han Lemon You must eat each one, wrapped in its leaf, chewing each piece at least 5 times, to win the challenge. Brave adventurers of iron tongues and hardy guts may challenge themselves to eat like a bird either in a contest of personal gustatory endurance, or as a group challenge! [align=center]CHOCOBO CHOWDOWN FOR ONE[/align] The rules for simulating the Chowdown for a single challenger are as follows: For each fruit, 1-7 above, you must perform a /random roll. A result of 500 or higher on the roll means that your character was able to chew and swallow the horribly bitter bite. A roll of less than 500 on any roll means that you've lost the challenge! Take a drink - challengers are allowed to take a couple of stiff drink to cleanse their palates. Up to TWO separate times during the challenge, you may reroll your /random to try to get 500 or higher. You may not take both drinks in a row: if you use one of your rerolls, you MUST accept the reroll's result; if a reroll is below 500, the challenge is lost! For example, a winning challenge's rolls might look like this: 1) 525 2) 771 3) 222 DRINK! Reroll is 889 (note that if this reroll was less than 500, the challenge is lost!) 4) 868 5) 569 6) 912 7) 123 DRINK! Reroll is 764, and victory. Please note that this challenge will not be won easily or often, nor is it designed to be. Flip a coin seven times and try to get all heads, to get a sense of it. [align=center]CHOCOBO CHOWDOWN FOR GROUPS[/align] The rules are much simpler for groups, and are designed so that there will usually be a winner. For each fruit, 1-7 above, each participant performs a /random roll. A result of 500 or higher means the player moves to the next round; a result lower than 500 means that the player was unable to finish the terribly bitter bite and is out of the competition. Rerolls are not allowed in the group challenge - the idea is to eliminate players. The winner is the last player who has not been eliminated; it is not necessary to eat all seven bites to win the group challenge, only to survive longer than the others. If all remaining players are eliminated at the same time, no one wins! In the unlikely event that more than one player succeeds in all seven rounds, all players to do so are considered winners. OPTIONAL SUDDEN DEATH RULE: Ties may be resolved by eating a spare Gyshal Green leaf and doing one more /random roll. Anyone who passes the roll is considered a winner, even if multiple people do so. If all fail, then all have indeed failed! Consider that stipulation carefully before invoking the Sudden Death rule.

I'd be interested!

Oooo! I really like this thread! When I can get back in game I am so responding to this! Saving my spot right here!

Is it wrong that as soon as I read this the song "I'm Too Sexy" started playing in my head?

Congrats!!

I love art from people and you do beautiful work. If you'd like to draw Eresh, I'd be honored. " />

I can vouch for Aaron's wolf pup. I wish I had been able to RP out Eresh's new war horse but haven't yet. I shall wait until that time and then post here for your awesome arts!

It looks awesome! Thank you! I LOVE the dragons.

What is this Monday I keep seeing in this thread? You all have me curious. I'm still really not impressed with the females but the males look rather interesting. I've always felt the highlander female shape would have been better but meh. We shall see when it all comes out and we get to play a little.

Would this lovely group of males enjoy a hearty meal served up pub style by the Wanderer's Lantern? We do cater after all. And yes, we have some lovely ladies who serve and tend bar so win/win.

YES. Also if 75% of quicksand turns into Au Ra overnight, I just hope it's 75% male~ ^ This! Oh so this!!!! *purrs happily*

Can I say how excited I am? Like... really, really excited!!! This expansion can't come out fast enough for me!
