Our FC, the Night Blades, runs a big story in Limsa, but it's open and others join in, and we publish it a big open rp (a la the Sands rp in Ul'dah) only it's being pushed by the FC of Night Blades....what she is concerned with (and correct me if I am wrong) is that there would be a perception that our FC was pushing the evnt to have folks join the FC, etc.(07-11-2014, 11:01 AM)ArmachiA Wrote: On Storylines, and I can't stress this enough, for now we need to stay away from FC storylines. If an FC came in and said "Well, lets get people involved in our storylines" it will make it seem like Limsa RP is pushing that particular FC. The last thing we want to do is play any kind of favorites while this is being set up. For now, I suggest very small introductory plotlines that anyone can get involved it and doesn't focus on one person/FC. It shouldn't be anything complicated and it would be good for those who want to help Limsa's RP issue to get together to come up with something.
I won't disagree with your overall point. My group and I are more than happy to participate/help with whatever it is the people want. Hell, I'm more than happy to just participate in something and have zero responsibility.
But I don't agree there is going to be any favoritism. This is a community project. From what I've seen, its about getting more RP going and more connections made. There doesn't have to be one storyline at a time. By that same argument we won't be able to use anyone's FC house because that would be pushing that FC. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water here.
Keeping it vague and open has its definite perks, but whatever happens someone has to be writing the rules. RP doesn't have a natural order like the real world does. Even basic physics has to be agreed on by everyone involved. I don't care who or what it is, but there has to be a body making decisions.
Like Rurutani mentioned, it'd make sense to connect FCs ands groups to it alongside individual characters. So let's make peoples' houses RP spots and interconnect plotlines. I'm not going to worry about who's more popular, but what RP we can create for the community.
So I don't think she means disregard the FC element, just not "This RP sponsored by the Mt. Dew FC" aspect.
LOL...right? Or am I dead wrong?
