Its cool, but its IC... and I wont sign up for a Sani Sabik event
Yeah Borza ain't much of a fan of Blood Cultists.
That's the charm of the event, if it was ooc it would be just like any of the others out there. Making the event ic was a dog's fight, but role players shouldn't give up of their ic identities in exchange of better results. The ooc version of the event done got over 700 applications. The ic version now is set to 100 and even so I believe it will take a few days to fill the slots.
I'm fully aware that making it a Sani Sabik event will prevent a few more purists role players to join, but it has been like this in the past too although many role players have found their way around to still keep their characters and participate. Garreck of CVA is a great example how he has managed to do that with full elegance.
In short, Sani Sabik events are pretty much neutral in many ways but I have taken pleasure into adapting and extending my events to the out of rp circles and trying to reach a broader public. It's incredible how many new role players I've seen flourishing from the events I have done along the years.
And it fits my character's true motivation for doing these events, Revan is a public political figure and contacts and personal affiliations around the whole New Eden is what keeps her business moving. At each event as such she gets to extend her area of influence and personal network of contacts and I of course, get to know wonderful new people around and even good friendships have come from things like this.
All in all, it's worth the efforts to keep it ic and the difficulties it brings along. But we adapt, we overcome issues and we have fun at the end, that's what matters most.
