Uh.... what?

if you started a solo fc then you have no rights to recruit old and or even new people. so inorder for my old fc to be reputable the theif had to leave server and that would be me from tonberry so learn from my mistakes and dont steal people even if friends from ex fcs you were in or even new people with leafs unless your one of the origional reputable fcs on server.

But.... the guy you accused of being a thief in this thread (aka: "ao the post under my slast one inother words is a theif!!!!") said that he created an LS for others with the "SOUL" tag... not that he "stole" them for his "solo" FC. It was a joke about "stealing souls" ... you know, like a demon does ... because SOUL is a common tag for multiple FC's.

I love when people use typos against people and yet they understand the full concept of what I intended. Why some people think they are awesome for correcting people I have no clue... toxic English population defiantly!

But again if someone has your tag and you followed then how about change yours? In the end it doesn’t matter who started with it, just grow up and change yours why copy?

I would not make an LS as a joke just cause my tag matched another’s I have never spoken to and all that.

It has nothing to do with the "toxic English population" and everything to do with the fact that you aren't expressing yourself clearly.

That person and the people in the other SOUL tagged FC all thought it was cool so they created a LS together for all people tagged SOUL. Like. They enjoyed it. They thought it was fun. I don't get what's so difficult to understand about this. ._.

To try and sum up what I mean in a few sentences.

to start a fc you need 4 people yet several like i just get people make alts so fc can be formed, but in order to try and recruit if you start out solo is to somewhat steal even in the case of grab a friend from another fc and he/she decides to take more people from that fc to join your new one. The person at fault is the fcs leader entirely, that is unless you watch all recruits that have no fc and or are from a fc and btw this is what I was simply taught so unless you start a new fc with 10 people watch who you recruit or get slandered as a ninja fc server wide.


unless you on a good server with nicer people be careful if you lead is what I learned the hard way so best idea is to stay solo to advoid hate.

You mean if i left my FC, whatever reason, it's not allowed for me to form a new FC with people who want to join me? oO
I don't understand how a player can steal players from other FCs? is there a way i can force chars to join my FC?

I thought it is a player decision which FC a char belongs to?

back to topic: Noone has a right for a special FC tag like copyright. If they are the same and one FC is disagreeing with this it is a matter for both FC leaders to clear this.
report the harassing player for harassment and talk to his FC leader for his unkind behavior. A player which harassed others in this way is a shame for a FC and damages the reputation.

That has nothing to do with the person who posted after your "last post" that you mentioned. They said they used to be a 3-player FC (and no, not all those people create alts to make that FC, some people ask friends or strangers to help them start up their FC and then leave it, sometimes offering a small gil reward as thanks for their help) but that they've since grown -- probably because they've made friends in-game who wanted to join them and meshed well enough. And they said that they found other FCs with the same FC tag, and created a Linkshell and that it was the linkshell they tried to steal other [SOUL] tagged people to. Not that they tried to recruit those people to join their FC. If they'd been that indiscriminate with who they wanted in their FC, they probably wouldn't have started out as a 3-people FC. =)

People are not forced to remain in their first FC for all eternity. Sometimes what seemed like a good FC at the start doesn't offer the type of community you wanted -- if you realize you're mostly interested in crafting, and your FC is mostly a raiding-focused FC, you're not going to have much in common with those other FC members, and vice versa. Sometimes there are arguments and fallouts in an FC. And sometimes people stop playing and you're left in a mostly empty FC where the people you used to talk to are never online anymore. Or a multitude of other reasons. It's perfectly alright for someone to decide that they want to leave an FC and join another. It is not the 'fault' of the FC leader of their new FC. And since people aren't property, it is not theft. Potentially kidnapping, but that requires the kidnapping victim to be forced to go there, which very rarely is the case with FC invites ^^;

If someone is worried about others using the same tag, using a 5 letter tag would be a good idea. The number of combinations for 3 letters is 17576, assuming 26 letters and that letters can be reused. The number of combinations for 4 letters is 456976 and for 5 letters 11881376. For reference, a lodestone search comes up with more than 130000 free companies. So someone with a tag of 3 of less letters can only blame themselves for not being unique. Even with 4 letters you have to think outside the most common words and abbreviations to not get copied.
