To all you successful FC leaders... How did you do it?

[Super_Bee_Brian]

(What Vidu said.)

I swear to you I'm not trolling. I'm serious.

But let me quote something (completely memorized, as a way of showing my wisdom) to you from Niccolo Machiavelli...

I certainly think that it is better to be impetuous than cautious, for fortune is a woman, and it is necessary, if you wish to master her, to conquer her by force. And it can be seen that she lets herself be overcome by the bold, rather than by those who proceed coldly. And therefore, like a woman, she is always a friend to the young, because they are less cautious, fiercer, and master her with greater audacity.

To be a leader, you must be bold. And usually, the boldest and most brazen people are the ones at the top. Leadership is leadership wherever you are.

My goal in the Mateus server is to first earn 180 million gil so that I can fund a 30-man army who'd conquer Ul'dah through roleplaying. (Mateus is a roleplaying server) That's 6 million gil per year per person.

My INITIAL goals are humble, but overall, long term, I'm out to gain big stuff. I'll become the Napoleon of this game.

And similar goals require similar methods.

Annnnddd, this confirms the trolling. And my interest in this thread has now evaporated faster than Bee's FC losing members.

...oh, too soon?

I'll see myself out now.

Please stop. I'm not trolling. I didn't wanna delete my previous post but I had to because of such an accusation.

Nevermind. I reposted it.

Seriously, please, don't accuse me of trolling. People get banned for that stuff. I'm completely serious.

Aha....threatening with a ban? Very well. I'm done with this thread anyhow. Seriously, I'm completely done with this thread. Adieu, good ser.

I'm not threatening anything. I was saying that I might get banned because people would think I'm a troll.

People already think you're a tr....you know what, nevermind. Not wasting another daily post on this thread.

You're comparing yourself to Napoleon. Dude~ you play a video game where you're riding around the world on a cartoon chicken trying to stop an evil moon wizard.

I legit laughed out loud at this. Thank you for such a wonderful comment.

...thanks for saving that post, Kaiva - I owe you!

Wether or not that guy is trolling or just dellusional doesnt matter, because its pretty clear that words are actually wasted on him.

So, for everyone seeking real advice on how to keep an FC together (I dont know, people might google that to look for real advice and will not only find that but also some serious amusement in this thread) - I stand by what I said: Create a help- and useful community with yourself in the middle - not at the top. Network, make sure you get to know your members on an appropriate ingame-level, offer help, advice, fast queues, gears and FC-activities like maps and primal-farms.

That might take a while

Also 6 million gil a year is chump change, they could earn more than that much just by using your expert panhandling methods in half the time. \o/

You're talking to someone who have earned over 30 million gil throughout his 7 months of playing, half of which were gained by socializing alone. That's 15 million gil gained through sheer social skills.
