Looking to brawl in The Quicksand!

[Branson Thorne]

Imagine, if you will, a band of like-minded individuals. They come from all stripes and walks of life but believe in one thing: Violence is cathartic. This band of individuals, because they cannot be truly called friends, travel from one watering hole to the next. Someone will look at someone funny. Someone will say the wrong thing. And these men and women will be the powder keg to those sparks, breaking into fights at the drop of a hat. Today, the Quicksand. Tomorrow, Ophelia's Teahouse. Eventually, everywhere.

 

TAKE BACK THE BARFIGHT. THROW A CHAIR.

I already run one organized bit of chaos in THE GRINDSTONE, CHECK THE LINKS IN MY SIG PLUG PLUG PLUG but if someone else were so inclined to making a linkshell dedicated to guerilla warfare in public places, well...

 

That would be quite interesting.

Fight's in public all day, every day? Where the hell do I sign up, lol.

TAKE BACK THE BARFIGHT. THROW A CHAIR.

 

Can't spell "bar fight" without "a'right."

 

Also, you don't throw the chair. You club someone with it.

 

... I suddenly had the idea of staged bar fights with commentators and the whole shebang. Sort of a roaming performance group, except the performance is being the snot out of each other. Having an organization with rules (and pay for excessive damages) might result in this becoming an... interesting bar room practice. Even at the Quicksand.

Why not both?

A million points for Terry Funk selling being hit with one.

 

I'd be so amused by a bunch of people wandering around and just impromptu Fight-Clubbing. Especially if they bring a Jimm Rosse with them.

Randy Orton. Now there's a S.O.B. whom I love to hate.

 

On-topic, I'm still waiting for the day when someone in the Quicksand gives someone else the chair. I've seen bottles, glasses, fists... no chairs.

Once we form the Bar Brawl Federation (BBF), we'll have folks all across Eorzea clamoring for our pugilists to use the chair!

[Chris Ganale]

I wonder if my bounty hunter would get an assistance fee for helping break up a fight and drag the offending parties to the goals.

 

...Who am I kidding, his armor makes him look Garlean so if the law showed up they'd probably all try to take him out.

During The Break-Up a year ago or so, Warren was having the worst week of his life and some mages started a dick waving contest in the Quicksand. I'm proud that Warren picked up a chair and threatened them with it to knock that shit off and go elsewhere, and they did. He wasn't even in armor, just had enough of the world to want to swing foreign objects.

 

I'm all for a wrestling fed. I've even got an alt who'd be in for it.

Yeah, this is why I usually use the normal word because I can't bring myself to even consciously misspell such a common word.

I wish we could call it the: Barfighter Enthusiast of Eorzeaa Federation. Just so the tag could be B.E.E.F. I'm really tired right now but needed to share that. Every time a new match is planned people would ask, "Where's the B.E.E.F.?"

A tip of my hat to whoever was playing the mage not just pretending to be immune to chair-bashing

 

That's the sort of interaction that really is fun and amusing OOCly, and I wish that's how conflict worked out more often.

B.E.E.F

 

This topic has turned into pure gold!

[Warren Castille]

In my head, it trickles in slowly. Each member would hang out elsewhere, you know? Don't want to give it away. A lonesome roe drinks at Buscarron's. A pair of miqo'te hang out in dark doorways near the Missing Member. A solitary hume chats up a lady lying about being single at an event.

 

But then a second BEEF shows up. Then a third. A fourth. Everyone's on edge, watching these people eye one another, but it's all smiles and pleasing gestures. "Have a drink," says the host. "You look tired, take a seat over here."

 

But it's too late. Eye contact has been made. A solitary nod begins the skirmish, and everyone takes cover, unless they're jumping in themselves.

Interesting factoid: 'gaol' is a real word. It's archaic which is why you don't see it often in modern usage. It's not even pronounced with the English hard "G" sound. It's pronounced exactly like the modern word it evolved into, "jail." That's why jail has that "O that sounds like E" sound in it: jay-ol / jay-el.

 

"Gaol" is Middle English btw, and originated from the French "gaole", which WAS pronounced with the hard "G" sound. Gah-ol.

If this isn't a linkshell by the end of the day, I will be sorely disappointed.

 

Heck, I'd love to see it become a full-fledged IC FC for fistfighters, but that's asking a bit much. Still, if that becomes a reality... then you can just imagine the regulars at any bar or tavern might get a bit edgy when a man from walks in. And certainly once a second or third shows up after them.

 

It's like flash mobs, except with punching.

That one little word Warren, that one word in bold took me to the logical place in my head we all have thought here. This thing, this BEEF needs to happen, needs a Pearl to keep us all in contact, and in sort needs to be a secret. For those of us who are professionals, unable to quince the thirst for some manliness. In short gentlemen, I propose our OP author organizes.....

As a side note, I'm seeing a lot of people coming to the Carline Canopy for some light tavern RP, and that's wonderful to see! It's rather cozy. Please don't start any brawls in there. The stained glass windows would be so expensive to repair/replace.
