The Summit of Free Companies (Location Set)

[Saefinn]

I've only just seen this, we got a story arc thing planned at 4pm EST, but I will be there for the first hour, but Cassandria/Atamis is my First Mate, so there will still be representation from our FC (Wayward Star). I might be able to get away for longer, but I promised to support an FC mate's arc, so I won't let them down.

 

But I have been talking recently about inter-FC stuff, as it is something we miss too, so I suspect we'll welcome relationships with other people. We're just a pretty relaxed and down-to-earth FC looking to have fun, so if people are wanting to work with such a group, then excellent - obviously not too many at once we'll drown. Just my requirement for working with other people is "no egos" and "no drama". I work off of mutual respect for and another.

 

For clarity:

 

Wayward Star's attendees:

Saefinn Liljasson - Captain

Cassandria Everfree - First Mate

[Erik Mynhier]

Less then an hour to go.

[Nebbs]

To note this is not 19:00 uk time but 20:00

[Vasque/Cici]

Chokho Viqqoh and myself will be representing the Free Wing Society, instead of Lilithium and Locke Rinannis.

[Xao Ganajai]

Xao Ganajai for Unfettered (UNF). Super late post, considering the meeting has already started... but I'm here. Heh.

[Ciara Snow]

Late comer but omw to represent Melons (Ic: The whispering Baroness)

as Kyri Sagitta

[Zaheela]

Hiding in the back for the moment (update: held up as long as I could, no go. Must dash before the RL drama cannon fire off in the wrong direction).

 

I'll stay as long as I can but I'm unlikely to stay the full time due to (Very high stress) RL issues to take care of, and there is a high change of not having the time to do any sort of social announcement of what HW-RP does if it goes too long. I'll try, but please understand if I leave it is due to rl obligations.

 

Apologies in advance.

[Khuja Aliapoh]

Hello, I am Khuja Aliapoh, FC leader of the RP/PVE company Cerberus.

 

We would attend but I literally just heard about this a few minutes ago and my RP Officer is not online at the moment. I do not think there is any on that we could send and I can not make it at the current moment and would hate to show up late.

 

Our FC has had some craziness here lately with a problematic member, and I pretty much just fix the problems that are brought to my desk. My PvE officers are also not on sadly so I can not send them.

 

This does sound like an interesting idea though, but I am sad we can not attend at this time. If my RP officer pops on in a timely fashion, albeit it would be late, but I would send him if it is alright.

 

His name is Z'ythe Nunh. If pops on, I'll send him. He just came back home from deployment so he may be spending time with family and friends.

Summit meeting notes are here:

*Note I was a little late and missed Erik's first part intro to the event, I do apologize but this has everything. I have removed emotes, fc stuff and whatever else to make the meeting notes shorter.

*These are raw and don't have massive cleaning up.

[Aris]

It felt like that went very well. On behalf of DA, thank you for having us, to Erik for arranging the event, everyone who helped out, and to NB for sharing their house.

 

We're excited for any opportunities that rise from this! & It was really nice to see lots of people from here - it's great to finally put characters to forum posts.

[Tali Vexal]

You guys have no idea how excited this got me for all the potential crossfc RP!! It was awesome meeting everyone and on behalf of Bastion, Thank you Erik, NB, and everyone else who put so much work into organizing this.

[Faye]

I'm sad I missed it, but the representatives I sent told me a lot of good things! Now I just have to read the meeting notes! I'm looking forward to more communication and coordination between the RP FC's on the server! Erik, Freelance, Nailah, Y'uraq, and everyone else who set this up and worked on it have my thanks.

[Kou]

Thank you very much for this. It was nice to meet all those FCs.

 

I'm looking forward to any cross-FC events, especially that Training one that I hope makes it off the ground. That one really, really interested me.

[Tikka Swift]

That went really well! It was great seeing you all there and meeting everyone! On behalf of myself, Gen, and the Radical Dreamers, thank you for putting this together! I'm looking forward to future cross-FC RP!

[Hyrist]

Apologies on behalf of Dark Embers for not making it - we've been having some pretty heavy personal emergencies going on that have kept us from doing any events.

[ArmachiA]

There were some really good ideas for cross FC stuff that wasn't too overwhelming or hasty more "Lets set up a crafting LS for airships" "Do training sessions in different houses" and less "LET'S DO A WHOLE SERVER PLOT"

 

I think we really went about it the right way.

[Erik Mynhier]

Thanks for coming everyone, and making the spirit of this thing a success. As stated we are planning a few soft cross-fc stuff like airship building and training. Also gve smaller fcs a chance to seek out connections for their plots and overall help. And thanks to all who will be helping me in my next charity event in two weeks, the new players will thank you too. Thanks to all who help and remember....

 

 

The Bleed Stops Here.

[Saefinn]

I was a little anxious because I've been to something like this before to find it not have a positive outcome - I was kinda aware of it last minute, I did bail out on some RP, but some members offered to help hold the fort and apparently it went really well, so good I can rely on my trusty crew.

 

It is testament to the fact I should browse these forums more, but I am usually put off by forums for MMO's in general and generally don't post a lot in forums anymore anyway. Which is probably worrying, because I am moderator for a couple of forums out there.

 

However, I am glad that I attended and sat through 2 hours of introductions . I was not aware of any issues in the community, but whatever they were, they didn't feel present and people wanted to get involved with each other, so that's a positive thing.

 

Also, it was pretty well timed, because I had been talking about networking again with FC mates and a couple of people outside of the FC, so I've taken a few notes about which FC's I think are worth approaching for our style or RP and what we do ICly, heck, we've already established contact with the first FC we'd like to get involved with.

 

Also, folk seemed in good spirits, I was worried that if I brought my sense of humour I might be viewed as not taking things seriously, whilst I was mostly quiet, it is good that our chocobo suits were not frowned upon. Or my dancing. But then, I actually knew /very/ few people there, so didn't know what to expect. And admittedly, we are an FC who has kind of isolated themselves, though we still manage to sustain a comfortably sized membership, however, when we have been a part of a community, it has been wonderful, so I would like to take this as an opportunity to do that. Of course, with anything, my members' needs will come first. But I am a respectful of people in general and encourage my members to be and try to recruit people on the same page in that respect.

 

So I would say it was a good initiative, so let's make the good stuff follow through.

[X'havir Vahl]

It was nice seeing a large pile of active fc's on the server. And all the offers of help to people. That's community done right.

[Martiallais]

Just want to echo everyone else and say that while it was a bit long (as expected), I enjoyed seeing and hearing everyone. There was a lot of good, positive groundwork laid and I hope we keep moving forward with all the great ideas!

[DeletedUser]

Thanks for organising this! It was great to meet everyone, in a fashion, and all the great ideas flowing last night. Looking forward to see what comes of this.

[Alothia]

So, I know we had a bunch of FCs looking for contracts for work during the summit, so I went ahead and made a sticky thread where everyone can post what they're looking for. You can find it here: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=11468

Please use it.

[Lancia]

Is it too late to get in on this if there's ever going to be another one?

I have 2 more Balls to plan before returning to this. We will see come next year.
