The First Annual Quistis Ball

[Zardoch]

I'm glad to hear it Oceaneyes. You remember this from back in the day so you know what to expect. Blacksmith can think that, I know I can at times. But I still will hope for the people in the end. This is going to be something light and fun, it won't be any of the serious heavy RPing that you or I are used to.

So it will something anyone can step in and try out. Though I sort of feel like I'm repeating myself now.

Andro, I've hoped for years that people would take a second to think about role-playing and maybe jumping into it to make it fun and challenging, but that hope was only found in the rare few people such as you and I. It's just hoping for people to do something, especially in a casual event like this has repeatedly shown in the past to never work the way you want it to work.

If all you want is activity in the RPing community, you could simply make it like Gaia, yet no one with any kind of sense wants that. The one thing we and many other sites are simply looking for is the balance of activity and quality; however, very few have been able to accomplish that without compromising one or the other. I think I should expand on what I was talking about in my idea.

By gathering together a group of people together who have hope, that in itself will create an atmosphere that will allow us to be active. Then we'll need to set something up for those charismatic people to role-play in, something casual, but not like this. There we create a multiverse for the role-playing world of TFF that allows everyone to come together from different worlds, I.E. allowing everyone to do their own thing. In doing so, it allows us to exercise our creative and intellectual freedom to interact with one another and will give rise to show what can happen when people work together. No, we don't create some super-extensive, highly-detailed world where people will be put off by the intimidating factor. Just a world of fictional democracy and freedom.

That, I believe, will work better than simply trying to interact with each other in a ball. By all means, you can do this, but it's only a temporary solution to the long-term fix we need. Nothing will happen until, as I said, leaders help make things happen.

Anyway, for the hell of it, I'll join the ball too, though I think it won't be for a simple dance. Kekekeke!

Yeah, I certainly don't want Gaia. Eesh, anyway, I'd say 6 years ago TFF found that balance that you were speaking of. And that is what I'm working to bring back. However, we don't nearly have the user base to achieve that. We have the hardcore people, but in the end things fall with just the hardcore. You need the people that just want to play around for a short time to really get things to push out. Because out of those people you find those to bring into the hardcore ranks.

They need something to get their feet wet. Once they get a taste they'll decide if they liked or not. If they did, but don't like the heavy stuff they will make things that suit them. If they didn't they will move on, but hopefully remember the fun time that they had.

But this ball is just the first step for me. I have a number of other things I'm going to be doing and revealing in the coming weeks. I'm going to hopefully be bringing a whole new wave to RPing that hasn't been seen in six years. If I have achieve even half of what we had back then I'll be pleased. This is a rebuilding processing right now and this it awareness time. And sort of a recruitment. I want people to have fun and see what it is like it a friendly environment with their friends. I want people see there is more that can be than just the serious stuff we do.

You have your vision and that is great. I'm glad you care, we have so few people that still do. But I have my vision as well and I'm executing it right now. If it falls I'll stand up dust myself off and try again. But I'm a little more determined about this succeeding this time around. So expect to see things that you are not used to from me.

Anyway, enough of all that stuffy heavy RP talk. This is suppose to be a fun time. If all you do is make a single post to say hi I will more than welcome it. No one is being held to anything here. You come and have fun and leave when you want. Just have fun party and celebrating. ^^

[Andromeda]

Hey all, sorry about my lack of posting. Friday I had overtime and well my weekend was planned out to allow for posting, but then I ended misscheduling things not realize how bad off I really was on time. So yeah I'm catching up right now. But I'm very pleased to see that everyone has continued to keep posting up and making this one of the most active RPs we've had in quite some time not to mention volume of participating members.

Keep it up and with luck I'll be able to finish reading through everything tonight and make a post if not I'll be able to tomorrow night after work. I'm glad everyone is enjoying themselves.
