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

[van_arn]

You're best facilitated with an FC of one.

Practical advice.

[Thamorian]

Where are they?

I couldn't point them out on your server cause I don't play on Coeurl. On Gilgamesh we have several large and many smaller FC's that are pretty good.
For your situation, I don't deny you had some bad experiences with FCs, but at the same time, I don't know if they were actually bad FCs or you just expected to much or if you have a personality that rubs everyone else the wrong way because I don't know you.

Practical advice.

You realise you just quoted yourself immediately after your own posted that? You forget what you look like and your own name? lol (just poking fun)

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.

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.

Easily the best thread here.

I'm one of them.

No you aren't...or are you? I think...yes...yes I feel your incredible charisma and dominating social skills winning me over. You are, aren't you? You are the chosen one? The masiah, the God of FFXIV! Please sir...take my - on no...no wait..my mistake.

You know, you should go play EVE. it's an MMO built on building corperations, and conquering other ones. Youtube EVE and 'business wars' That's where you tant to take your egotistical megalomania. You'd get eaten alive there, but that's where your personality best fits in...not here.

Probably the first one (bad experiences), and probably the last one (not a likable person, I guess? depressing if that is the case, honestly), but it's absolutely not the second...that I expected too much. I don't think it's 'asking too much' to get an invite from a person after agreeing to help in roulettes, or to go on treasure hunts that I was asked to come along in, or for the FC to acknowledge I exist at all.

Since you are so good at hustling other players out of money, perhaps consider paying people a weekly allowance to be in your FC? I can't imagine anyone would want to join and stay for free.

I am one of the leaders of the FC I am in. We have just over 400 members the last time I looked. We hold monthly meetings with the FC and and with officers and high council. Every month there we vote someone as member of the month. We have people who run treasure map runs every so often, mount farming, help people get clears on content, we even have auctions every so often to raise gil. We at times supply the raid teams with raid food. We do not allow drama, and if any comes up we are quick to take care of it.

But then he'd just induce them into giving the money back.

He's the WoL that tempers other adventurers

[Jojoya]

Because I have a leadership fetish.

There's your problem.

People are here to play a game, not to indulge your fetish.
