One last unsolicited piece of information for today!  We have recently hammered out a weekly schedule for various events and activities and thought I would share it with you all! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Social RP Sundays Guildhest/Leve mondays  Gathering Tuesday's  Dungeon run Wednesday  Craft Thursday FATE Fridays Company Story RP Saturdays ------------------------------------------------------------------- To give an example of what some typical events we shall be hosting will include i'll discuss what we'll be doing next tuesday for gathering tuesday. All day gathering event:  This event is designed to help people level their gathering classes while also stocking the companies chest with crafting materials to be used on thursdays or requisitioned for certain things.  People RSVP for the day and are provided with a 'shopping' list of desired mats based on the current level of their gathering class Fishing Contest:  This tuesday we will be hosting our first Company fishing contest that we'll be holding in Limsa.  Most of our members have been focused on leveling to explore endgame content and have the freedom to explore and RP throughout the world and have not spent much time fishing yet.  So I'll be hosting this event in Limsa and for one - two hours will host a contest to see who can catch the biggest fish.  We're starting off with a small entrance fee that is added to a pot that the winner will claim, and fully plan on expanding this event as our time in this game continues. Also on the 5th we will be holding our first ever Company Story RP.  This is where we will truly begin to develop our communities story and create the connections and show of our amazing characters. Also this coming sunday, the 29th we will be having a beach party at Costa Del Sol, and are working on a schedule and hope to open it up to the public as well! This is just to show that we truly are committed to exploring all facets of this game, and providing fun and varying events on a weekly basis. Will be posting our Guild's story on Thursday for everyone to see as well!

: We were those disciples of War and of Magic who turned back and fought for a community that was not our own.  Now things have changed, now we belong.  The world is still as uncaring as before, still waiting and watching for it's chance to drag this down into the void.  Yet we remain, a few ragtag settlers and a band of fighters with more bravery then brains.  Now we are united in one goal: To survive in this harsh world, and forge a future for ourselves.     We come from all walks of life, from soldier to farmer, and everything possible in-between.  Our guardians walk our land, some protecting the lost and the weak, while others seek out and eliminate all who could threaten our people.  Our merchants and craftsman toil to provide goods for the town, and slowly but surely seek to blow new life into it.  We even have mages and scholars who study the aether, seeking to unravel the secrets of the shard, each working towards their own goal.   Whatever the reason for your being here, here is where you've come to belong.  You've thrown your lot in with these people, and it's up to you to find your own place.  One thing is true no matter whoever you are.  This town shall change you and shape your fate, and so to shall you shape it.   Who are the Remnants of Hope? : Primarily we are the group of adventurers who answered the towns call.  We are the protectors and caretakers for this oasis of peace in the harsh and uncaring world of Eorzea.  However being adventurer is only the beginning.   You are who you choose to be!  Here in the Remnants of Hope you may choose to do and pursue whatever it is that pleases you.  Are you a scholar in pursuit of old and forgotten knowledge, coming here seeking to unravel the mystery of the shard?  Are you a mercenary who just likes to unwind and relax by fishing in the afternoon.    Whatever it is you desire to do (Within community rules) you may do so!  Forge friendships and rivalries with other citizens, and be always prepared to put aside your differences to take up arms to protect your homes.

Perhaps you all could join us in a few .Â

Story Telling RP:   What is it? Story Teller RP is a narrative driven style of roleplay.  For those who've played pen and paper games like dungeons and dragons the concept is very very similar.  One or more people act as the narrators of the story, highlighting the scenery and introducing characters and enemies to the script as time goes along.  However the direction the story takes and the way it ends is all decided by the players themselves.    Now one thing that can be a bit off-putting about this style is the fear that the narrators hold all the power.  Now while it's true they control the npc's of the story the reality is that players truly hold all the power in this story.  You choose what to do and where you want to go.  Now if things get out of hand the leaders will reign it in and let you know something can't be done, but will mostly always respect the choice of the players.   Why use it?: Now what truly makes this style enjoyable and fun is the added factor of chance.  Whenever a major action like attacking an enemy or attempting something heroic you must always roll a dice to determine the outcome of the action.  The biggest reason i am a HUGE fan of this system is that it all but eliminates god-moding and always keeps things interesting.  It is very possible for an action, or even the story itself, to end in failure based on the rolls of the dice, and the inverse is true as well!  This always makes for interesting character development because you get to decide what action you take, and then react to the outcome of the action whatever it is! How will it work?: In other games they typically have a dice system where you can be in a group and everyone can see the rolls.  Alas for some reason there is no dice system in the game and will be a bit before mods will be workable.  So things are going to be done a bit different here Each player will write how they wish to perform the action.  An example being:  Xha'li rushes over to his fallen friend.  He holds him for a moment, feeling him drift away and howls in anger and calls upon nature to help heal the man.   The narrator in charge of that action will roll a dice(either a real life D20 or a virtual one) to determine the outcome. For players a roll of 7 is necessary to accomplish a task.  However simply rolling a 7 won't produce an amazing result.  In the above example all the would happen is Xha'li would have stabilized friend, but not have brought him back from the brink, just having bought him time.  The higher the roll the more successful the outcome.  A 1 is an epic failure and results in the opposite of the desired outcome. For Enemies a roll of 10 is necessary when taking an action against a player.  Same rules as with a player applies, with higher number meaning more effective action.  it's far easier for their actions to fail to a varying degree against the players. The narrator will the start the post with (# rolled) and describe the outcome of the action.  Now them describing it is not meant to be intrusive or controlling, rather it's to help keep the flow going and to help people understand what the different numbers mean on the outcome. Now as people get more and more accustomed to the system, and we get more narrators to moderate I truly wish to have people writing their own reactions.   The cycle continues, with reactions from players and NPC's continuing until conflict/situation is resolved one way or the other.     Time: This style is a ton of fun but is REALLY time intensive.  Take this test run for example.  It was at the most 4 people talking and acting but all told lasted almost 4 hours long.  That was only with 1 narrator and a small group.  It takes a lot of time to go invest in each event, but it truly is worth it if RP is your thing!   Dialogue/Action: Now while action is truly fun and something i always look forward to in these RP's there is one thing to bear in mind, this style is very dialogue heavy.  Characters will act out their feeling, actions, and thoughts in chat, and often it will be a endless stream of posts to read and sort.  As our group size grows we'll be establishing parties and raid chat settings for people to speak in for organizational purposes for that reason!   Nevertheless your screen will always be full of dialogue to read and react to.  It truly is like being part of a developing story, and sometimes it's easy to get lost in the chat.   I think that sums it up well, at least for the framework of it.  Keep in mind this is but one style our FC uses, and it will vary based on the type of event!

Also congratulations to R'mango and Athrun, our two newest members who have just completed their trial!

The community itself. All members play at least one of the games, with several playing 2 or all 3 of them, as well as a few casual games on the side together.  Yet we all share the same Team Speak 3 server and belong to the same forums.  The reason being no matter what you play or your style of play is we are all one big happy (dysfunctional  ) family. We discuss our favorite games, books, manga, music, and... well you see where this is going.  We also have an amazing community set up with a well structured body and an enduring legacy. Also we have this, our Weekly caption the Picture Contest.  I figure i'll share in the fun with you all and show what we are working on and the winner of the contest!  We have a weekly riddle i'll try to do this with too!
