A.E.T.H.E.R. Discussion

[Smiling River]

Discussion thread since everyone else has one

 

Here you can voice your questions, comments, concerns, etc. regarding the A.E.T.H.E.R. Linkshell. If you're mean, we'll stop doing your math homework.

[Lunavati]

A.E.T.H.E.R. intrigues me, and my gaming partner, Dranmarth. He is not new to the Final Fantasy worlds; I am. Off to read lore and then try to write a character bio that does not make me cringe.

 

Great work on the Linkshell.

[Smiling River]

Thanks for the enthusiasm! :cheer:

 

If you want me to take a look at your bio and toss you some feedback prior to our doors being officially re-opened (aka the application questions resulting in bloodbath) send it over. You can PM me here or our forums, thanks!

 

A slight update; we've had our first meeting and there are a lot of interesting concepts in the works, stay tuned to the main thread over in the Guild Hall :approve:

[Lunavati]

Thanks, Mason, appreciate it mucho. I wrote up a draft last night, and *coughs* I am at work today, but may pm it over to you later today. Trying to get the geography/social aspects, not to mention the personal, to work without ever having seen the world making me a bit nuts.

*coughs* I am at work today

 

D: Such a horrible person! Work is for work *nods* It's only acceptable if you have nothing to do like me ^^

[Lunavati]

I have work, let me see, oh yes, right here: Find out where Mia's clans live. Yep. First order of business. And I guess I can grade a bit, sigh....

[Nbokkri]

^^ What type of grading?

[Lunavati]

Shhh....don't tell anybody, but I teach college-level literature and humanties :geek:

[Dranmarth]

Yes, she's a naughty teacher that games at work and only grades when she REALLY has to, no apples for her!

 

As a side note, I'm also hashing out some stuff with my character bio and background, hope to have a good one for when applications re-open, looking forward to hopefully getting involved with A.E.T.H.E.R.

[Lunavati]

Hey, Dran! And I will have you know my students bring me much more interesting things than apples :study:

[Nbokkri]

Hey' date=' Dran! And I will have you know my students bring me much more interesting things than apples :study:[/quote']

 

That could be misinterpreted >.<;

[Lunavati]

Haha, they tend to bring me things like fossils, rocks, minerals, family stories, pictures, a kitten once, and best of all, a three-foot tall animated, singing Frankenstein in honor of our reading/studying Mary Shelley one rainy October :study:

[Nbokkri]

Nice : )

 

I was going to try going for teaching English at one point. Ended up in software instead... it's interesting where life can lead us. But I can say one thing: no one brings me anything but problems in software lol. *shakes fist at the sky*

[Lunavati]

I get those tech support issues too. I teach online, so am always trouble-shooting for students, and then teaching faculty who like to open attachments in emails. *shiver*

 

But I don't have to do software issues all day--know that gets draining.

 

A.E.T.H.E.R. folk will be good to hang out with and let you blow off frustration. Wonder if they are going to be doing events? What kind?

[Nbokkri]

We've been tossing around ideas, but we're really trying to figure out something that would be fun. It can be difficult coming up with events that don't result in people just coming and standing around for an hour or longer... *memories of Aion come flooding back* Come launch we'll hopefully have some ideas : )

[Smiling River]

Ideas we do have plenty. However I'm not sure if I should spoil it here or wait until they are a little more refined and can be posted up officially by our beloved (hated) leader. I'm going to be very coy here and put a winky smiley at the end of this.

[Soren Miren]

Soren stabs Mason in the eye.

 

 

Don't give out any spoilers!

You wouldn't happen to be referring to the Moslan Concerts would you? Cause those could certainly be boring.

*cough* Wouldn't want to mention any names...

 

There were a lot of other RP events that were kinda lame though. One of the ones I enjoyed running (though I'm not sure how fun it was for the participants) was the Keravi scavanger hunt. We kind forced people together into groups and had quite a bit of fun coming up with clues and such ^^

[Dranmarth]

Yup, took part in that one a few times, it was fun, and it's ok, in retrospect, that concert idea was a horrible one for Aion, now if it had been done for Lotro, it would have worked pretty well seeing as how lotro has an ingame music system.

[Alvaruz]

Hey, I did a strip-tease in a Moslan concert once and propose to my girlfriend in there! You just had to make sure you make something out of the ordinary, not just telling sentence and your song...

 

Maybe the two only songs who kinda had some kind of interactivity with the crowd during the 8 months I went at those events...

 

But I agree that we need some kind of interactivity with the people...

 

There was one event, a Karnival at the begining of Aion, where there was a duel championship, that was fun...

[Tanusri]

You know I can tell you there was nothing I hated more then being forced to go to that damn event... well maybe one more reason in that game... But yes Alva thank you for the striptease... It was funny cause I wasn't paying attention when you were doing it so I had to suddenly re-read like 15 mins of RP in 30secs, so I could reply.

Always fun to have the support of his girlfriend...

Quick question regarding the lasted update/announcement in the guild Hall thread...

Why the IC Bulletin Board open to the community at large on your boards when there already is an IC Bulletin Board here? My unnecessary duplicate-sense are tingling. ^^

[DAISHI]

Perhaps somebody is on their board and has a question they want to ask ICly? Or perhaps they've got a deep interest in A.E.T.H.E.R. and feels like inquiring? Given AETHER's commitment to RP I can see how it would be beneficial to have such a board on their forums.
