Topics:- role Play Room; Gorean Inn - role play?
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 19:24:04 pm CDT
Ah! That would be Me, then. Never done this before, but here goes.
Ok, Perhaps we should begin. Is there anything that needs to be discussed? Anyone has a question or an issue they would like to raise?
Loki 19:24:50 pm CDT
I have a topic Zaroud
Laroona 19:25:04 pm CDT
thanks Zaroud *S*
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 19:25:29 pm CDT
Well, Friend, let's hear it
~zoya~{GS~FG} 19:25:52 pm CDT
~*~settles deeper back to flattened feet, wiggling as she listens to the Free banter~*~
Laroona 19:26:43 pm CDT
on a side not GaryM, Webmaster and site owner has changed his contact details I have placed his message on the RT boards *S*
~zoya~{GS~FG} 19:28:50 pm CDT
~*~nods~*~ thank You Mistress, zoya did just see Your note ~*~smiles~*~
ROLE PLAY ROOM?
Loki 19:27:44 pm CDT
Aye Zaroud...
what is the opinion of the forum in making one of the rooms a general role play room, anything would go, and, unlike using a private room, the posts will remain for others to join in or put in there own role play......this might be easier than doing r/p and then c/p it to the boards under the role play category....
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 19:28:54 pm CDT
Are You suggesting making a new room, Loki?
Loki 19:29:58 pm CDT
no Zaroud, merely converting one of the ones we currently have...
Laroona 19:31:03 pm CDT
Loki are you suggesting that people C&P their r/p and post it or a summary even on the role play boards and then others can go there read the board, and follow on?
zoya~{GS~FG} 19:31:26 pm CDT
~*~listens, confused and then like an energy bulb goes off~*~ oohh! You mean like maybe an ongoing roleplay in a room instead of posting on the boards in the 'roleplay board'. sounds like a great idea to zoya...if it's possible.
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 19:32:18 pm CDT
I like the idea, Loki, but the role play section in the corks would be deleted or do we still keep that? Would the captains still want the scribes to c/p?
Laroona 19:32:44 pm CDT
the posts do not stay for long, ad the rooms have limited number of posts.... so a C&P would need IMO be on the boards as opposed to any room
Loki 19:33:01 pm CDT
no, just a room to go r/p in, no theme to it, so there wont be any c/p to the boards, open to any gorean r/p ideas...
if the rooms that the shores currently have need to stay intact, then perhaps a idea of adding another room might be needed
Loki 19:34:51 pm CDT
yes zoya, thats My thinking....
ahhh I see Your point Laroona, if they disappear, then what’s the point, but, it might be better anyways, cause it would be a public general non themed r/p room
Laroona 19:35:01 pm CDT
I think there is a review of rooms being undertaken
but the main problem I see to continue a themed r/p is the staying power of the site....
plus r/p could be in any room ....
Loki 19:36:03 pm CDT
Zaroud...no the r/p boards can stay, to each there own...and the scribes never c/ped My r/p for me, that was fidgets doing~grins~
Laroona 19:37:15 pm CDT
and not all rooms can I scribe in LOL
cos I am not going to enter and leave with no clothes and extra jewerly LOL
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 19:37:37 pm CDT
~nods at Loki's words~
Like I said I really like the idea. That is also a good way to have an active character role play as well, It may create renewed activity here
Loki 19:38:15 pm CDT
true Laroona, but say fidget and I are going on a trip...you cant doing it in the tavern, or the market place, or the bathhouse..it would have to be a private room, and then theres the room name to give out if anyone wanted to join in
Laroona 19:38:51 pm CDT
Loki I do like the idea though.. as many of us come from all over the world and from different time zones ,,, it could be interactive, and in the room,,, and also on the baords.. so picking up the theme should not be difficult..
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 19:39:43 pm CDT
~nods at Laroona~
Community building
Laroona 19:40:15 pm CDT
the only room a FW should not enter now is the bath house
Loki 19:41:27 pm CDT
sure they can Laroona, they just wont come out a FW~chuckle~
Laroona 19:41:29 pm CDT
heee and fidget scribing would save me LOL
Loki 19:42:38 pm CDT
lol at Laroona~
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 19:42:42 pm CDT
I suspect there are few things to clarify, though, pertaining to kill/cpature zoes, and so on. I am still relatively new, here, but I would think some guidelines would have to be put down?
alika 19:42:43 pm CDT
would free necks be allowed there without worry of forced collar?
~zoya~{GS~FG} 19:43:10 pm CDT
~*~nodnodnod listening to Master Loki's examples, understanding and liking the idea more and more~*~ ...especially for big comings and goings, or when a builder leaves a new ship He built, etc, etc...it could work
Laroona 19:43:17 pm CDT
the only option would be council approval
oops and of course the kennels are off limits to all free except the physicians caste.....
Loki 19:44:43 pm CDT
aye Zaroud, that would be up to the Council if this goes the next step, or we could discuss it now lol
hmmm alika,, which is more exciting? r/p with your wits or being safe? ~lol~
Loki 19:46:18 pm CDT
aye zoya, thats the idea, any general theme, and go with it, big or small.....
alika 19:46:28 pm CDT
making sure to wear running shoes Master Loki .. giggles
Laroona 19:46:29 pm CDT
I suggested the other evening the yard could be used for brandings etc:
so that could be an ongoing r/p .. checking on the girl etc...
I think if Council looked at these ideas and approved I am sure they would have set rules ....
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 19:47:06 pm CDT
Ok, the next issue with this, since we all seem to be agreeing to the idea (the FM does not merely have brawn, He also has brains!! ~ chuckles~) is the matter of whether a free neck is safe or protected.
Laroona 19:47:22 pm CDT
passes some kajira running shoes to alika LOL
galah{GS} 19:47:33 pm CDT
having some danger would bring back some of the fun too, there just is no fear anymore around here....i even remember a day way back when some stranger would come in and role play that he was gonna steal a slave and the slaves would even need to be taught the thing to do to be safe from such a thing happening
Loki 19:47:57 pm CDT
~grins at alika~
aye Laroona, can brand anywhere, just need a mobile branding rack, or a good knot on a girl~chuck
alika 19:48:32 pm CDT
~grins back to Master Loki~
galah{GS} 19:49:10 pm CDT
we had actions in place where a slave could run to the kennels and lock herself within her cage there, but then she would be stuck there until a Captain came to let her out again
Loki 19:49:23 pm CDT
aye galah, I remember back when Skullspitter and I were trying to organize raids lol, it had to be brought up here what girls were suppose to do when or if it happened....
alika 19:49:23 pm CDT
pulls on the shoes and wiggles her toes, then laces them up securely, and smiles
these are great Mistress thank you thank you ... blows a kiss Your way
~zoya~{GS~FG} 19:49:50 pm CDT
zoya doesn't think there should be any safe places, there certainly weren't on gor...there was no such thing as an non-collared slave
Laroona 19:50:41 pm CDT
alika they maybe a bit old and dusty by now LOl
galah{GS} 19:51:16 pm CDT
that was for GS slaves of course, personal slaves would have their own directions to follow....remembering back to when slaves would be cuffed or kicked until a big fuss would be made about someone touching someone else's slave until slaves thought they was untouchable
Loki 19:51:18 pm CDT
Id say it should be a kill/capture zone, with the gs guidlines....a freeneck could r/p trailing a Master, or doing her own thing, crossing paths if she wished....as why I said using he wits...I remember a girl...named ariel, she was very witty~nods and grins~
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 19:51:20 pm CDT
~turns to zoya~
you love the challenge, do you, zoya?
Laroona 19:51:32 pm CDT
correct zoya she was collared fast or was a she-urt
Loki 19:52:01 pm CDT
aye zoya, a she urt, that might be what alika meant
Laroona 19:53:18 pm CDT
that could be where the market place could be better utilised as a travelling room... maybe... just a suggestion
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 19:53:24 pm CDT
ad I suppose that is the whole point of r/p. safe r/ping is pointless
~zoya~{GS~FG} 19:53:33 pm CDT
but of course, Master Zaroud, why should the slaves have any sense of safety from the Men that rule this planet? such is the way things are on gor ~smiles to Him~
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 19:54:18 pm CDT
No complaints there, zoya
galah{GS} 19:54:47 pm CDT
this is supposed to be role play...and when a Master makes such a big fuss about a slave being punished, or used, or touched and then it becomes a point of contention is ridiculous....it takes out all the guesswork...for example: if a girl was serving a Master and some other Master reached out and smacked her ass as she walked by...the Master being served would get all out of sorts because the girl was serving him....there are rules in place for protection, respect and general order, but its gone to far astray where there is no imagination left
Laroona 19:55:01 pm CDT
it could be interesting if say I as a FW snuck in to have a bath in the bath house and some FM entered imagine the r/p out of that as an example of the extreme kind LOl
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 19:55:43 pm CDT
~looks at His hand, then at galah's ass~
Loki 19:56:22 pm CDT
aye Laroona, but imagine if it wasnt just 3 lines, imagine if it took hrs to r/p it, thats r/p
Laroona 19:56:23 pm CDT
galah you almost had kadife in the fountain earlier LOl
poor girl LOL
galah{GS} 19:57:10 pm CDT
**rubs her behind and wonders if she mighta not said that as an example** hehehehehehehee
Laroona 19:57:50 pm CDT
very true Loki, and it would ensure Free wrote more than one liners ... imaginative writing would be great
I like the concept...
galah{GS} 19:59:17 pm CDT
do slaves get a vote on this one? heheheheheheee gal says yes...yesssssssss....ooooooooooooooHHHH YYYEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS **swoons all silly like she just released** hehehehehehehehee
Loki 19:59:49 pm CDT
aye Laroona, thats one thing that I tend to see here, one liners....its the easy way out, in my opinion, most everyone here knows how I r/p, it could take hrs before Im done
obviously everyone has time constraints, if so hold of till more time is allowed, or simply do a to be continued
~zoya~{GS~FG} 20:01:00 pm CDT
~*~giggles hearing galah~*~ well, zoya is all for it, might help get her imaginative juices flowing more
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:01:03 pm CDT
Loki, I am thinking of the wonders this room would do for the life of GS, and the GS veterans amongst us will certainly like to see the return of pure roleplaying. It should need be a kill/capture zone. Unadulterated Gor.
galah{GS} 20:01:36 pm CDT
would be super duper wonderful if we did something besides serve a drink around here heheheheheheheeee been trying so hard to spark some imagination and life back to the old place and now with some great Masters, it could really really happen!!!!
Laroona 20:01:41 pm CDT
like how long does it take to get from Port Kar to Ar for example?
with the push of a button and tying a few words in your explorer bar....
thus maybe one r/ping that out even if it was in one room would be great, but to keep consistent it would more than likely need to be on the boards .. even a summary would help those wishing to join in
alika 20:01:43 pm CDT
thinks better always wear these shoes
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:02:01 pm CDT
~thinks Loki's r/p sets a good example~
Loki 20:03:28 pm CDT
Aye Zaroud, it could be a spark, but it has to be used, thats the issue, the r/p has to be wanted by a individual
I branded a gs girl in the tavern when I first got here, and it took near 2 hrs, maybe 2.5, some might have taken 5 mins just to be done with it....you must be in the right state of mind to r/p
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:04:12 pm CDT
And often, with such things, the improvements and ideas for improvements come only from trying it out and finding things to resolve as we go along.
Laroona 20:04:24 pm CDT
I vote the scribe gets freedom in all room LOL heeeeee
I try and think of different things for slaves rather than have a virtual drink...
Loki 20:05:47 pm CDT
very true Laroona~nods~
and If I may add since You brought up portkar and ar....when I left long ago fidge and I r/p that very travel......in the marshes, on a boat...practicly every detail, it took near a week lol, that was fun, it could be done here, imagaination is the only wall
Laroona 20:06:47 pm CDT
I am feeling here that all are thinking of ways in which GS can be more pro-active...
like it was when we only had one room.... but those days are long gone..
but the concepts have not IMO
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:06:48 pm CDT
Should we take an official vote? Two votes - one for the room, and the other to make it a free-for all room kill/capture the works.
Loki 20:06:51 pm CDT
aye Laroona, as have I, Ive caught a girl unawares when I wanted service, it was good r/p fun
galah{GS} 20:08:32 pm CDT
oooooooohh gal remembers those days too, when the Captains took lots of time to brand a girl, and even going into details about a new girl getting a lashing of the whip for each captain....galah could feel everything in those days, the empathy for the girl it was happening too, or the pain if it was happening to myself...it may have been role play, but it feels real and thats what makes it feel special
Loki 20:09:17 pm CDT
aye galah, as it should be, not 2 mins to collar and 2 mins to whip and brand a girl...
Loki 20:09:39 pm CDT
Zaroud...I vote yes, and yes
Laroona 20:09:48 pm CDT
Zaroud usually the Captains read the notes... unless some one wants to mail them a summary heeeee as there would need to be some ironing out of rules and if a new room maybe the Webmaster need to be involved....
Loki 20:10:40 pm CDT
could still vote so the Captains know the wishes of its members in forum
galah{GS} 20:11:14 pm CDT
and granted, sometimes there are time restraints due to rt...instead of rushing a branding, or a collaring...a girl could be thrown into a cage until an available time comes
Loki 20:11:49 pm CDT
My thoughts exactly galah......
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:11:50 pm CDT
I see, Laroona. But just as a formality, so that our voices are heard, I vote yes , and yes, on the two counts as well, of course, pending the Captains' decisions.
Laroona 20:12:01 pm CDT
I try and make a collaring last longer to make the girl feel her heart... but I then have to hand her over for the whipping and branding and I hate it when that is all done in a few ehns.... after I am probably spent a good 30 ehns with the girl....
Maccabeus~Wandering Jew of Gor 20:13:32 pm CDT
..He rises quietly, moves silently to the door, sighing about the hand again, and offers a silent prayer to the PK's for the well-being of A/all in the tavern...
Laroona 20:13:36 pm CDT
my votes is yes and yes
and freedom for scribes and physicians to move in all rooms heeeee
Loki 20:13:42 pm CDT
Aye Laroona, makes a body want more....unfulfilled, for You and perhaps the girl, if she isnt new to r/p
alika 20:14:22 pm CDT
my collaring takes forever and ever... grins
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:14:44 pm CDT
There is a lot that takes place between the raising of a whip high in the air, above the Master's head, and the swing down, arcing like the curves of a slaves body, where the leather strikes the flesh yearning for servitude
zoya~{GS~FG} 20:15:38 pm CDT
zoya likes the idea, so if her lil slave voice matters, she says yes ~*~grins~*~
Laroona 20:16:38 pm CDT
I usually spend more time giving new girls and free information.... and a break into great r/p would be a blessing from my own perspective *S*
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:16:40 pm CDT
slave voices matter, since it involves them as well. so, that's four yes's including zoya's
Laroona 20:17:42 pm CDT
alika by the time we cut those smelly shoes off you LOl heeeeeee
zoya~{GS~FG} 20:18:01 pm CDT
~*~smiles to Him, lips mouth a thank You, Master~*~
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:19:10 pm CDT
~smiles back at zoya, warmly, and lingeringly~
Laroona 20:18:55 pm CDT
if I get dumped (weather) can some one please take over the scribing ......
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:20:01 pm CDT
Is there anything else we want to say about this excellent idea of an r/p room?
alika 20:20:13 pm CDT
alika lovessssss the shoes Mistress
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:20:54 pm CDT
Deirdre would you like to add anything, since you were bumped off?
galah{GS} 20:21:30 pm CDT
well, gal is having trouble putting thoughts together and breathing ever since Master Zaroud said this: There is a lot that takes place between the raising of a whip high in the air, above the Master's head, and the swing down, arcing like the curves of a slaves body, where the leather strikes the flesh yearning for servitude
Laroona 20:22:10 pm CDT
LOL at alika
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 20:22:40 pm CDT
Zaroud.......I read back.....and after listening to the previous discussion, I think it's a good idea if the logistics can be worked out. I am in agreement.
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:23:01 pm CDT
~smiles at galah~
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:24:08 pm CDT
Well then, if there is no nay-sayers to this, I think it is unanimous, and we shall request an r/p room that is a free-for all for the re-energising of GS
Laroona 20:24:42 pm CDT
tosses galah back a tail feather to fan herself with LOL
galah{GS} 20:25:10 pm CDT
gal has an idea about it, if she may?
galah{GS} 20:26:28 pm CDT
**making sure not to look in the Masters direction so that her mind might work better** hehehehehehee
Laroona 20:26:52 pm CDT
darn why did I give her the feather *chuckling*
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:28:37 pm CDT
~not sure what He has done to ake the girl uneasy~
GOREAN INN DAY/NIGHT- role play
galah{GS} 20:28:56 pm CDT
**having been given permission in whispers, she draws a deep breath and lets it all out** perhaps we could use the inn at poolside to try this out and see how it works?
Laroona 20:31:18 pm CDT
ummm and lose half the r/p sifting through unwanted whispers like I had about 6 ppl whispering me earlier and not interested in GS...
galah{GS} 20:31:35 pm CDT
would give us all a chance to have a go before changing things around here...we could just go there and not take notice that its an inn and just start up a rp situation, then others coming in could join in...and new ones might get a chance to drop in and see what gor is really like and if they would like to join us
zoya~{GS~FG} 20:33:02 pm CDT
but how long do the posts stick around in the inn? and they could all get wiped out by non-goreans just coming and going over there before a GS'ers gets there to continue the r/p
Laroona 20:33:46 pm CDT
and I lost track of any r/p going on.... as the page was full of reds
hello,
hi
nice name
want to chat with a ...........
etc etc...
Laroona 20:35:11 pm CDT
and some poolies get peeved (using s nice word) at us goreans going there all the time.... some can get very nasty...
of course the ignore button works
galah{GS} 20:35:13 pm CDT
if it all disappeared zoya, then the next real gorean that goes in can start up a new situation
galah{GS} 20:36:09 pm CDT
all the regular poolies KNOW that gorean inn is a gorean room, if they don't like gor, there are lots of rooms to go too
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:37:15 pm CDT
I have only been to poolside once, since coming here, but there is some merit to what galah says...
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 20:37:50 pm CDT
I think it's a good idea, galah. GS keeps struggling with not having a whole lot of traffic. This may be an avenue to help that too. By r/ping in the Inn, people who wouldn't come into GS would have a way to interact.....and perhaps learn....*shrugging*
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:38:05 pm CDT
but the concern would be the others and the hostility to Goreans, and the disruptions to roleplay.
Laroona 20:38:14 pm CDT
that is true galah,,,
I personally feel we have the rooms here .. and yes going to and use the Gorean Inn is a good idea, but dragging them to GS is hard at times....
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:38:29 pm CDT
But then, there is the ignore button.
Loki 20:38:45 pm CDT
~listening~
interesting points
I was wondering what the webmaster would say to us using his gor lite room, I think it would depend on what he says, I really dont care what the poolside members think~chuckle~ just My opinion
~zoya~{GS~FG} 20:38:56 pm CDT
the Inn is where we go to find new potential goreans ~smiles~
galah{GS} 20:39:13 pm CDT
we lived at poolside originally, and it only takes a quick word from a Master to tell others to put some troublemaker on ignore
Laroona 20:39:22 pm CDT
trying to think both sides here....
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 20:39:45 pm CDT
*nodding to Loki* Exactly.....
Laroona 20:40:35 pm CDT
the Inn has no rules... even from GS aspect currently
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:40:52 pm CDT
It is not a question of what the others think, Loki. I am concerned about the quality of r/p and the way it would be disrupted, possibly. but I could be wrong.
galah{GS} 20:41:09 pm CDT
and zoya, when NO one is around, the inn could still be a recruiting ground...but i remember back to when our home was there, we did have better role play back then, and yes, we did have troublemakers come in to make fun of us...but hey, that was the best of times, you was there then sis?
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:41:54 pm CDT
~listening to galah, nods~
Loki 20:42:11 pm CDT
Your concern is a valid one Zaroud
~zoya~{GS~FG} 20:43:54 pm CDT
oh yes, zoya was there and LOVED it when our home was over there, there was always something going on. zoya often wonders if having our own site didn't hurt GS some?
galah{GS} 20:45:24 pm CDT
i think it did zoya....for even the disruptions made for some fun at times, something different at least...having our own place over here without the passing traffic has made GS stagnant i think
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 20:46:24 pm CDT
zoya.....I've wondered about that too, honey.....and have had similar thoughts.
~zoya~{GS~FG} 20:45:49 pm CDT
it's how zoya got 'sucked in'...she came in to see what that room of weirdos was about and was in awe at what she saw going on...serving and dancing and Masters and slaves, aaahhhhhhh ~swoons and fans her face~ will never forget jaz dancing, she was breathtaking!
Laroona 20:46:28 pm CDT
those days the poolies understood it was one gorean room, since the split they act different...
of course ignore works hee have a page full of poolbots you have places.. zxyz on ignore LOL
galah{GS} 20:47:23 pm CDT
and zoya, think about it, if there was a good role play scene going on maybe out in the marshes or such....someone comes dropping in and reading whats going on and its WOW!!!! some will think we are weirdos, but some might just be tired of the same old chat thing and want something new
~zoya~{GS~FG} 20:48:30 pm CDT
~*~nods~*~ gotta agree with you there, galah, we do need to do *something* to spark some interest
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:48:41 pm CDT
some very good points being raised here
galah{GS} 20:49:40 pm CDT
anyways, it would be a try out, IF it didn't work over there because of the distractions or the troublemakers but worked otherwise, then could petition the council to run a room here in that way...or IF it did work over there and everyone was keen on it, then we could still petition the council to let it happen over here, what we got to lose?
galah{GS} 20:50:54 pm CDT
its only a way for us here that are keen on this, to have a go at it without having to wait for the council to decide, we all know that its a working machine, but sometimes works very slowly
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:50:57 pm CDT
the Inn might be a good way to 'catch' worthy Goreans, ; the disruptions may have enabled r/ping in the old days, but the room might actually be a good way of testing Loki's idea
Laroona 20:51:09 pm CDT
there are several probabilities that could be utilised... Captains are going to earn their pay this hand LOL
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 20:51:27 pm CDT
I think it is a great idea, galah......I really do. It would be like an experiment.
~zoya~{GS~FG} 20:52:04 pm CDT
~*~nodsnodsnods~*~
galah{GS} 20:53:07 pm CDT
yes Mistress Deidre, exactly....school in the usa is going back soon so that is usually a busier time for us, i think its best not to let this good idea get away
aurora{Ulrich} 20:53:16 pm CDT
perhaps forum could be held there one week
when people see a crowd, surely they will be drawn in
galah{GS} 20:53:46 pm CDT
then it slows down again around xmas time....we could be all role played out by that time heheheheheheheheheee
~zoya~{GS~FG} 20:53:55 pm CDT
oooo, awesome idea, aurora!
Laroona 20:54:20 pm CDT
or games night could be too...
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:54:36 pm CDT
alright - maybe another vote here in regards to trying this idea out in the Inn
any ayes?
Loki 20:54:45 pm CDT
~grins to aurora~
Loki 20:55:17 pm CDT
anything is worth a try....I vote yes
galah{GS} 20:55:18 pm CDT
ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh aaayyyyyyyyyyessssssssssss yes yes and yesssssssssssssssss
~zoya~{GS~FG} 20:56:01 pm CDT
oh yes!
aurora{Ulrich} 20:56:24 pm CDT
aye
galah{GS} 20:56:36 pm CDT
**jumping up and doing alil happy dance**
najla{Xg-L} 20:56:57 pm CDT
Holding forum in the Inn, is a good idea aurora!!
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:57:23 pm CDT
that's four I have counted. Any more ayes?
fidget {Loki} ~ chained to furi 20:57:43 pm CDT
~adds in quietly~
aye
galah{GS} 20:58:13 pm CDT
maybe we need one good writer to c&p a short explanation about this is a role play, please feel free to join in but don't interrupt etc? and then one person could be in charge of c&p it in the room when someone new pops in?
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:58:14 pm CDT
~nods at the fidget~
Zoran 20:58:36 pm CDT
leans back and listen
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 20:58:54 pm CDT
the sparks are flying today!!
galah{GS} 20:59:10 pm CDT
perhaps the forum there next week so that we could have a continuation of this, and talk of any rp that happened and how it went, good or bad?
Loki 20:59:34 pm CDT
lol...it must be You Zaroud
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 20:59:41 pm CDT
Count Me as an aye...please.....
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:00:03 pm CDT
yes, galah, this will have to brought up again, there are many who are not here, and it will be good to have a lengthier discussion. For now are there any more ayes?
galah{GS} 21:00:12 pm CDT
oooooooooooohhhhHHH your are a fantastic moderator Master Zaroud **nods nods nods**
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:00:51 pm CDT
yes, Deirdre, five
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:01:18 pm CDT
~chuckles at Loki, and galah~
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:01:30 pm CDT
ok, any nays?
Zoran 21:02:05 pm CDT
please repeat the idea as I seem to have come late lol
story of my Life weg
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:02:15 pm CDT
Will the Captain like to take over the moderation? I had stepped up in the absence of any captains...Yes?
aurora{Ulrich} 21:02:53 pm CDT
*whispers in sexy Master Zoran's ear*
Xertog 21:03:09 pm CDT
Thank you for moderating Zaroud.
I'd like to hear the idea too Zoran.
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:03:34 pm CDT
well, Zoran - Loki had suggested that we begin an r/p room, a free for all room, so a kill/capture zone, where we could r/p anything that we wanted to, and those who enter the room could continue and potentially have something that could go one for hands...
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:04:49 pm CDT
Of course, some amount of scribing may be required for those who may want to join in at a later time. Those present thought it was a good idea
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:05:14 pm CDT
so, that's the short of it, Xertog and Zoran
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:05:21 pm CDT
Then,
Xertog 21:05:43 pm CDT
I've mentioned in the past that I could get Gary to alter one of the rooms here for other venues to RP in. The market place room is never used and could be changed.
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:06:10 pm CDT
the next idea was galah's I believe, who suggested that we try this out at the Inn, so we know it works, and when we have ironed out what can and cannot work, we implement it here at GS
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:06:56 pm CDT
Those present have not voted against this, but I think we agreed that we could discuss it further in the next form to get more feedback
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:07:51 pm CDT
Have I missed anything? ~looks to Loki and galah~
Xertog 21:08:03 pm CDT
I don't see why it could not be done in GS.
Zoran 21:08:10 pm CDT
nods
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:08:38 pm CDT
~passing over moderation to Xertog~
Loki 21:08:56 pm CDT
nope, thats it Zaroud, excellent job~nods to Him~
Zoran 21:09:24 pm CDT
I see the idea have it in the inn
just to get more intrest to GS
I renber there use to be a open forum for all sites were people from Jag would come in as well
galah{GS} 21:10:11 pm CDT
it was just that council sometimes takes along time to make changes Master Xertog and the Inn could be used right away, so this could be tried while the iron is hot Master
~zoya~{GS~FG} 21:11:18 pm CDT
~*~smiles to Him with admiration~*~ thank You for moderating Master Zaroud, You did a fantastic job.
galah{GS} 21:12:31 pm CDT
among those of us that have been here along time, it seemed to be common concensus that there was more fun when GS was over at poolside in the old days, even if there was troublemakers that came in and hassled us, there was much more interaction with everyone
Zoran 21:12:54 pm CDT
I think the inn would if anything creat intrest to GS
Xertog 21:13:25 pm CDT
The Inn is a good place to recruit people, but if there if it is something new that needs 'ironing out' as was mentioned perhaps we do the ironing here before putting it on display elsewhere.
galah{GS} 21:13:52 pm CDT
and being there for a short time, to show some activity there, might get some new interest into GS again....the long term goal would be to have it all here at GS though of course Master
Zoran 21:15:19 pm CDT
agree with galah to add intrest the inn would be a good starting spot
Xertog 21:15:31 pm CDT
Zoran there use to be a rotating forum that would move around a handful of Gorean sites each week.
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:15:37 pm CDT
~smiles at zoya, thank you~
Zoran 21:16:34 pm CDT
aye that what I rember it was good to see the other people from other sites
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 21:17:53 pm CDT
*listening and nodding to Xertog's post*
Those forums were interesting.....and.....well......sometimes fiery.....but very enjoyable.
zoya~{GS~FG} 21:18:12 pm CDT
or...what if we had a regular 'meeting' time in the Inn, say, all day on Tuesdays, we r/p in the Inn. it would create some regularity.
Laroona 21:18:48 pm CDT
they were a good learning curve for many
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:18:48 pm CDT
zoya, I like that!
Zoran 21:18:56 pm CDT
agree's with Deidre
Laroona 21:20:33 pm CDT
maybe some who go to the DM would go to the GINN LOl
Xertog 21:21:14 pm CDT
galah if you want a room designated to do this in GS I don't think it needs a council vote. The forum, the market place or the training yard could be set aside for that.
I still don't have a clear understanding of what it is that is being planned.
Zoran 21:21:24 pm CDT
maybe Laroona
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:22:03 pm CDT
Loki, would You like to explain?
Laroona 21:22:40 pm CDT
let me get the original post please...
Xertog 21:22:46 pm CDT
I enjoyed them too Deirdre.
Laroona 21:23:02 pm CDT
Loki 19:27:44 pm CDT
Aye Zaroud...
what is the opinion of the forum in makeing one of the rooms a general role play room, anything would go, and, unlike using a private room, the posts will remain for others to join in or put in there own role play......this might be easier than doing r/p and then c/p it to the boards under the role play catagory....
Zoran 21:23:48 pm CDT
it be cool if they were to get started back up
Loki 21:24:09 pm CDT
If I need to....
what dont You understand Captain? My topic? or galahs question of trying it in the gorean inn?
Laroona 21:24:31 pm CDT
only 2 of the other sites exist and they are deader than dead....
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 21:25:12 pm CDT
*nodding to Laroona*
You are right.....I was just thinking that.
Zoran 21:26:16 pm CDT
dam the dirt has settle and well we still stand that a good thing
maybe and invite in jag? to a open forum for Gor topics
Laroona 21:26:22 pm CDT
galah{GS} 20:31:35 pm CDT
would give us all a chance to have a go before changing things around here...we could just go there and not take notice that its an inn and just start up a rp situation, then others coming in could join in...and new ones might get a chance to drop in and see what gor is really like and if they would like to join us
Laroona 21:26:34 pm CDT
hope that helps
Xertog 21:27:09 pm CDT
OK, this is what we spoke about in private last week Loki. I'll fire off an email to Gary to change the Market Bazaar room to be used. I'd need a name to call and a new background for the room.
A weekly time to hang out at the Inn is a good idea.
Laroona 21:29:35 pm CDT
Xertog why not every room be used... not just one room for themed r/p as there could be continued r/p in other rooms
that take hours...
Loki 21:29:59 pm CDT
Aye Captain, You asked Me to bring it up in the next forum~grins~
Im unsure on a name, its a non themed role play room, and Im unsure of a background, Ill leave that in Your hands...
Xertog 21:30:12 pm CDT
I understand it now Loki. I'd be interested in hearing some RP scenarios. Locations and story lines and such. It would be a refreshing change from just a tavern.
Zoran 21:31:18 pm CDT
pier of Port Kar
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 21:31:46 pm CDT
Speaking of taverns.....*S*.....I am very happy that the Council is allowing FW to go into the tavern now. I really do appreciate that personally.
Loki 21:31:53 pm CDT
aye Captain,,
could be anything, traveling to ar from portkar, for trading was mentioned earlier, ship building was another...she urt stalking......imagination is the only hindrance
Zoran 21:33:03 pm CDT
weg FW in the Tavern
hope there fast on there feet
just kidding lol
galah{GS} 21:34:05 pm CDT
what about just plain ole Port Kar? that was the name of the original room that sparked GS before moving to poolside
Laroona 21:34:18 pm CDT
I still think there needs to be some post on the boards if there is to be interaction due to time constraints and different zones,,,,
that is all I consider.. even as I said earlier it is a summary,,,,
Xertog 21:34:33 pm CDT
We have a few room that are hardly used. This room is used for 3 hours a week. It could have another theme or location. The forum could be held in any room really.
A background Loki I think should be a solid color like this room.
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:34:43 pm CDT
~Agrees with Laroona~
~zoya~{GS~FG} 21:35:20 pm CDT
what about..."Within the city..."
Loki 21:35:34 pm CDT
ah I see Captain
this color is fine then, not to bright, easy on the eyes, I would stay away from black personally
galah{GS} 21:36:00 pm CDT
the original room was at fantastycastle, the main room was called Steel Dawn, but the other room was Port Kar...back when GS was made, the Webmaster wanted a name that would more sound like it went with poolside, so that is where gorean shores came from
Laroona 21:36:53 pm CDT
people want interaction and to have just one room denies that to a degree
free neck enters tavern is collared by a FW as example.. where is the following branding etc....
Loki 21:36:57 pm CDT
zoya, does that give the impression of being in portkar? what if the r/p goes outside? just My two cents....a name should try to encompass most everything that could possibly happen there~grins~
Laroona 21:38:06 pm CDT
I agree with galah it could be the main entry to GS....
you are now entering Port Kar.....
~zoya~{GS~FG} 21:38:54 pm CDT
~*~nods~*~ yes, agreed, Master Loki, that's just what popped in her head when hearing Your examples, but yes,the r/p could extend beyond the city of Port Kar...like into the Thassa...
Xertog 21:39:33 pm CDT
The FW in the tavern came up I believe at last weeks forum. May be the week before? I get here late because of work so I miss most of it. I understand that there wasn't any resistance to it at the forum. So we decided to give it a try. If it becomes a problem it just takes another vote to change it back.
Zoran 21:39:52 pm CDT
the roads to Port Kar
may be a neat idea
Loki 21:40:55 pm CDT
zoya, agreed...it could start anywhere, a masters holding, a girl on the run from slavers in the marsh, even in the kennels(not the room kennels)
Xertog 21:41:05 pm CDT
Within the city of Port Kar?
galah{GS} 21:42:14 pm CDT
just leaving it a simple Port Kar would encompass alot of possible places...the marshes, the Thassa, the Port, the canals, the roads, most anything in a big surrounding area...and even travelling to Port Kar or out of Port Kar
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:43:41 pm CDT
I think Port Kar, or as Zoran suggests, "the roads to Port Kar"
Xertog 21:44:50 pm CDT
I was just in the Market Bazzar room. The background gives a feel of being in a city. The white font doesn't show up well. Black works a lot better.
Loki 21:45:24 pm CDT
to Me, the name port kar narrows the view of the room, In My opinion the name should show a broader thought...
Xertog 21:46:31 pm CDT
The geography of Port Kar is such that there aren't roads to Port Kar.
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 21:47:04 pm CDT
*nodding to Loki* What about something like....I dunno......The Gorean roleplay Room......that way it is open to all translations.....and the scenario could change with the situation....
galah{GS} 21:47:22 pm CDT
could just call it 'RP only'?
Laroona 21:47:29 pm CDT
suggestion as we have been at this for a long time
and I am getting tired C&Ping
why not in the next hand think of suggestions as a carry over topic for next hand....
Zoran 21:47:48 pm CDT
the seas of Gor
as it would still have a tie to the idea were in the Port KAr part of Gor
I always wanted this site to be more like JAg with more area of Gor being shown as AR and the dessert, and the north cities
Loki 21:47:54 pm CDT
aye Deirdre.....I was thinking that, but too generic for My tastes..how bout Twist of Gor
Zaroud - Desert Warrior 21:48:05 pm CDT
"Gorean Life"
Zoran 21:48:56 pm CDT
lol Gor Play
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 21:50:21 pm CDT
I agree with Laroona.....there are some GREAT ideas here......but it is getting late. *smiling softly*
Xertog 21:51:21 pm CDT
Lets set one day a week for GI. Slave class is Wednesdays? How about Thursdays?
Lets pick a name and I'll e mail Gary with it.
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 21:52:54 pm CDT
I like Zaround's idea to call it "Gorean Life."
~zoya~{GS~FG} 21:53:07 pm CDT
~*~nods smiling~*~ sounds good, Master Xertog
galah{GS} 21:53:20 pm CDT
gal likes gorean life as a name too
zoya~{GS~FG} 21:55:24 pm CDT
it does have a ring to it, "Gorean Life"...which would cover anything happening in the lives of goreans, zoya likes it!
Xertog 21:57:07 pm CDT
I'll make a post about Thursday being GI day. I'll write Gary about a name change and write the Council with the ideas here on what it should be called. Fair enough folks?
If so I'll call the forum to a close.
Deirdre ~ Sandman's Woman 21:58:14 pm CDT
*nodding* Fair enough....
najla{Xg-L} 22:01:50 pm CDT
Tis only fair Master!! To have all involved if we wish all to experience!!
~zoya~{GS~FG} 22:00:09 pm CDT
yes, Master...
thank You for closing up forum, it's good to see You ~*~hazels smiling to Master Xertog~*~
Laroona 22:01:59 pm CDT
**puts the pile of rence paper down to upload later on**
