I realized that the first post made it kinda sound like I don't want individual characters posting in this thread at all (I do, just not for character templates so as not to overlap with the Limsa Directory), so I edited to clarify. Do post in here if you have rp or want to get involved with rp or have an idea for rp in Limsa Lominsa!
In that vein...
Limsa Lominsa Wide RP Brainstorming
I was talking with ArmachiA, and she suggested we maybe try to open a bit of discussion on various ideas for rp that various people (in FCs, out of FCs, whatever) could participate in that would take place throughout Limsa Lominsa so we can get more open street/dock rp!
What We've Got
Some things the city offers:
What the various groups (not counting individual contributions -- if you have an idea or thing your character does in Limsa, please do speak up) offer:
What we need:
A "local" hangout, so to speak, something that when people say "I'm having a hard time finding rp in Limsa" we can point out "oh, have you tried going to ____ ?"
This is something that will need to be developed organically as well as theoretically; we can posit places all day, but if no one actually goes there, it won't happen.
One idea would be the Rum'n'Rumble, but the major drawback to that is that it's difficult for new rpers who aren't on the RPC to stumble across it, and would take rp away from the streets. I'm not particularly fond of the Wench or Bismark, but there is that little gem tucked away next to the aftcastle: The Missing Member. Major drawback? It's cramped. But it does feature balconies!
What about you guys? What are your favorite places in Limsa to rp or, barring that, favorite places that you wish you could find more rp in?
Ideas
I love tossing ideas back and forth, so please do throw out some of your own! Some very basic seeds I had in my head that could maybe develop into something greater:
So there you have it. Suggestions, ideas, running wildly around shouting random things in the hopes that something sticks are welcome -- I'll take all of it.

Ideas
I love tossing ideas back and forth, so please do throw out some of your own! Some very basic seeds I had in my head that could maybe develop into something greater:
- Bounties
- Treasure hunting (details would need to be ironed out, and someone would need to be willing to take helm, but it would be neat for there to be a pot at the end of the rainbow for those who find it)
- Disappearances potentially tied in to some sort of magical whatsits.
- Murdering something on the loose (would need someone to play the murdering something) -- double whammy: have the murdering something hanging out in revitalized hangout spot, and people need to figure out who and how. Possibly allow for eventual capture + turning into authorities end in escape
- Carnival. Everyone loves carnivals, right? Especially when they involve booze and wenches, yo ho!
- Mysterious artifact with some sort of magical application that causes Negative Whatever that keeps popping up and disappearing.
So there you have it. Suggestions, ideas, running wildly around shouting random things in the hopes that something sticks are welcome -- I'll take all of it.
