For those new Ishgardians, please read at least some of the discussion in the threads I list. It is more important to read the last part of the second thread.
Role Playing an Ishgardian
Calling All Ishgardians (Balmung)
THE SITUATION
This Expatriates LS managed to recruit quite a few players, but it never got off the ground. I am sure it was not Vairemont's intention to leave us hanging, but that is where we are at. I assume some IRL stuff has made it so the player (who had limited play time to begin with) can no longer be in contact with anyone.
Regardless of why, we are now left with nothing but a plot that had awesome potential. I aim to revive that potential.
I didn't step up sooner because I figured Vairemont would come back. I figured that my character involved is not even an ex-Ishgardian, so why would she be qualified to be a leader. Well, I won't let that stop me now, but I will need help overcoming that hurdle. After all, she doesn't have to be an -IC- leader
PLOT
I believe the plot can be tweaked to allow us to proceed without Vairemont. We will need some new IC leaders, and we will need to take over the brainstorming that Vairemont would have otherwise done. The assassins seeking the ex-Ishgardians are still out there and need to be stopped. Someone anonymous must find the ex-Ishgardians that haven't been found, and unite them with the others. I actually want that role, and have IC reasons as to why Kiht would do such a thing.
OOC ORGANIZATION
I've never been the leader of -anything- in an MMO. I am willing, and motivated to OOCly sort of lead in a way, but I need advice. If anyone with greater experience in leading LSs steps up, I will gladly allow them to take a lead role. I would only have one condition: don't cut and run. Even -IF- I lead organization then I will still want at least two other part-time leaders to help run things when I am away, or if I become incapable of continuing. I do -not- want the same thing to happen again just because we loose one single person to IRL happenings.
THE EXPATRIATES LS
Any details I thought about going into regarding this LS ended up sounding like slander, so I will just say that most people I talked to say that Vairemont has not responded to -any- attempts to contact him lately. He has been out of contact for at least three weeks. I humbly suggest that all interested people think about helping me start another Ishgardian LS. I do not even have an officer star in Vairemont's LS, so I can't do anything with it. Nobody can. I'll leave it at that for now.
Basically, does anyone still have interest in an Ishgardian plot, and an Ishgardian LS? If so, I'll take any input and suggestions I can get. At least post a response letting me know about your interest.
After you said it, it struck me that you would be perfect for the role. As for Erik, he does have ties to Ishgard through his mother, so I would volunteer to support Ishgardians in trouble. As I said before I wanted to get into this to flush out his Ishgardian heritage a bit, so add me to the new LS if you would.
