The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Every "we're looking the other way" situation I've been in has explicitly included the rule "don't flaunt it and make us legally obligated to care".

Maybe I'm just in a mood today, but the reaction to this stuff annoys the crap out of me and a lot of the posters here are coming off with real holier-than-thou vibes.

Who cares if they used the official hashtag. Go look at this and see how many modded outfits you can find on the official hashtag.

Anyone just dismissing them as an ERP venue clearly doesn't know anything about the venue scene. It's a nightclub. Yes, ERP happens at nightclubs. And, yes, most nightclubs have escorts on staff. Who cares? Why do you care so much?

Maybe I'm just in a foul mood today thanks to my medication but goddamn the air of superiority in this thread can be grating at times.

does your medication cause cant-interpret-tone-itis. people aren't upset they are just pointing out things that are true about the situation and going "whew they might be in trouble."

no one is "pearl clutching"

Oh my mistake, only the page where the team responsible was listed is giving a 404.

Not quite smart enough to still try and nip it in the bud, just desperately trying to remove the names from the garbage fire.

Here's to the new us.
I've seen even other nightclubs-with-side-ERP making GBS threads on them. Even if the event still happens, it's going to be packed with trolls and gawkers. What a spectacular backfire.

Yeah, that's really shithouse behavior. The billboard is mostly just funny, especially since... even in a big city, what's the market size of people who know about FF14's nightclub scene and are interested in participating, but don't know about this particular club's event? Did they drop five figures to get fewer new people than the average /shout ad in Limsa would have gotten them? (Or, more likely, did they spend five figures to try and go viral on Twitter?)

Yeah that's pretty hosed. You'd think a group that specializes in, uh, intimate interpersonal communications would be better at reading the room.

Yeah. That’s really loving poo poo. By all means, this group seems loving awful. I just get annoyed at people drat near salivating over the idea of people getting banned (they won’t) because someone got excited and got a billboard.

When this first dropped, no one knew of their toxic lovely behavior yet that didn’t stop people in this thread from asserting that all these people would definitely get permabanned and probably taken to court.

Steps of Nald is currently distracted by the Catgirl Border Patrol.

Edit: The billboard FC's house is kind of a shitshow right now though.
