For example, I bard in main cities a lot and usually end up getting people stopping to listen. After I finish a song I'll strike up conversations with the crowd, in particular anyone without an FC. If the person is chill and we seem to mesh well, I'll invite them to the FC. It's worked out really well so far and we havent had a single piece of drama in over 4 months now.

One thing you kind of have to understand as well is that it won't always be talkative and active in an FC. People will dip out between patches and come back for launch, for example. I've been told stories of those in 100+ person FCs that only have 1/4 active on a regular basis. You can't really force people to perform at your expectations 24/7 because at the end of the day, people are going to people and do what they want.
