Interest Check - A Summit of BAL FC Leaders [CLOSED]

[Erik Mynhier]

I was wondering if there was an interest in doing an ooc fc summit. Balmung is a great server, and the RPC too, but I have noticed a decline inter-fc interaction. Thought it might be interesting to get together and sort of tell eachother about our rp's and fc. Maybe even use it to hammer out some larger scale server-wide rp. IDK, just sort of watching c-span and spitballing as I watch the UN meeting.

[Aris]

I love the sound of this! It would be a great way to establish communcation between each other, encourage new roleplays, and just generally get to know other FC plots.

 

I'm sure my FC RP leaders and me would like to come along

[xelliexell]

If it is during a time that fits with my schedule, I would be interested in joining this sort of discussion. ^^v

[Y'lani]

I feel embarrassed. I misread this entirely!

 

It sounds like a wonderful idea. It could get a lot of great plots involved, and get Free Companies out of the house.

[Reshie]

I would definitely be interested in this! Tell me when and where and I'm there!

[Alothia]

I'd be down as one of the more active leaders in the FC who is also a part of the RPC.

[Heart Quintessence]

I love this idea:

 

 As an extra idea: an "Free Company Recruitment Fair"? A way to ICly advertise an IC free company, meet with potential members and get people interested.

[Branson Thorne]

Since I've yet to really find a FC that is active ta my playing time, I've actually thought about just 1 manning my own FC.

 

So now I think I'm going to do it so I can be all cool and be like "Yeah, I represent blah blah FC, so people come help"

Anyone recognizes "the jingle?"

[Erik Mynhier]

The recruitment LS is a good idea but not my style, so I'll leave it to others. As for the Summit, I shall set up a page for it directly. As will I for a FC Fair. Best get this stuff done in May, june we will all be busy. So look for both here and pass the thought to your leaders and have them get with me. I shall set pages up for both in the event section.

 

Please look forward to it...

[Nebbs]

Lol we were just discussing this also.. so YES!

[Ciara Snow]

I also like this idea though I would prefer to see it done somewhere like a forum myself. Linkshell space is soooo limited... and I don't think im the only FC leader or even just member of a group who has a full ls roaster. Heck, mines so bad i have linkshells on some characters I don't on others because there's too much and not enough room! Even my FC wants to open a IC ls now and I have no idea what LS I would have to drop to make that happen. ^^;

[Brynhilde]

Sounds grand. If it's not at a time too insane for EU, I'll be there.

[FreelanceWizard]

I'm certain someone from Mysterium can make an appearance.

[Maril]

Same as Bryn, if it's at a sane EU-hour I'll be there for sure.

[DeletedUser]

Same as Bryn, if it's at a sane EU-hour I'll be there for sure.

 

I'll third that!

[Blue]

Is this limited to FC? I belong to OOC RP LSes, but not FCs. FC is purely IC.

[Faye]

I'd definitely be down for something like this

[C'kayah Polaali]

I'm down for this!

 

I'll second Kyri's suggestion about doing it in forums. If we do it as a single live event, we're limiting who can participate. If we do it as a linkshell with the summit happening over time, we're running into linkshell limitations and also missing out on cross-timezone interaction. Using a forum means people can participate as time permits and have conversations that cross timezones and stretch out over as much time as needed.

 

I'd personally want to keep this separate from a recruitment fair. A summit of FC leaders is clearly focused on promoting cross-FC RP. A recruitment fair, on the other hand, is focused on something else entirely.

[Fulcrum]

Dark Embers would attend if something were set up and it didn't conflict with our event nights (Sun/Wed/Sat). The question we have is whether you'd want all of our leadership to show up, or just a couple of representatives; we do roundtable leadership, so both leaders and officers are in on everything - that's currently just four people, but we figured we'd ask about it.

[DreamedReality]

Phoenix Rose leaders would certainly attempt to make it.

[Erik Mynhier]

Info here, start and move over to it from here people. Let us make Balmung the envy of the RP MMO world. Let us get organized!

PS someone else do the FC Fair, ive got like 6 events between now and Heavensword.

[ArmachiA]

I can come represent the Night Blades. Be scared.

[Ardent Ghost]

Sign Ischyros Estalia and Ardent Ghost up as representatives for the Black Sun Vanguard. We would very much be interested in something like this. (:

So I take the lack of answer as a yes, this will be limited only to RP FCs, and keep RP LSs out? Isn't that a bit restrictive? RP LSs usually host a wider amount of roleplayers than RP FCs do (since to join an RP FC, you have to leave another FC, you can only have one, or maybe you're just the type that doesn't want to have any FC). As I said, I do RP with both FC and LS, but our FC is only a smaller part of our universe. Like, to make a comparison, whereas our RP LS is "Hydaelyn", our RP FC is "The Star Onion Brigade in Hydaelyn". It includes only a small amount of what our RP LS has, because the LS, unlike the FC, can host even RPers who do not want to part with their FC to join ours.

 

I hope that made sense.

 

But if it's really just FC-restricted, it's fine. I'd just like an answer.

I'm interested to know this as well, since the Rendezvous of Stars FC is built to support the Rendezvous of Stars LS. (As an RP sub-community, we do not require players to join our FC to participate, but our LS is about 50 members strong. ^^ )

 

So, even if we were attending as representatives from the Rendezvous FC, we would be speaking on behalf of our LS as well, since that is what encompasses our entire sub-community.
