As for the suggestion, all the ideas here so far are great! I really like the talk show idea! Something similar popped in my head while I was writing this post, but I wrote it off as too silly--in retrospect, it has exactly the appropriate level of ludicrous silliness. We'd considered IC Triple Triad matches for our FC tavern nights until we learned Triple Triad was not allowed in FC houses--something I sincerely hope SE will change in the future. ;A;
I think the classes/training idea is great! We've done cooking classes and healing seminars among our FC before, but I'd never considered it on a wider scale or as a way to raise gil. It'd also just be a great way for players to broaden their characters knowledge and talents while actually RPing out the process of learning and improving! Speed dates would be fun--kinda reminds me of Rendezvous of Stars monthly Host Club and their small cover charge--and I looove the idea of guided tours! It would be a great way for people to learn lore and have some fun with it!
And I'm sorry to hear that, Kellach! I never really had any negative feedback from our own date auction. I've seen a few on the server that were run poorly, but I'd never really felt ripped off from participating in any.
