if any has a topic, whisper to Me, and I will open the Forum
Hunter {aura} 19:43:50 pm CDT
nice turnout....this room seems the only one gets a look nowadays...so we can discuss endlessly but not actually do what the site is meant for?
Hunter {aura} 19:44:13 pm CDT
thats not a topic..just an observation
Kuurus-Assissan 19:45:09 pm CDT
a long time ago.. Gorean Shores has lost is value
Maybe this should be a topic..
Keeper of flicka 19:46:08 pm CDT
Well W/we could adjourn Forum to the Bath-House, get hopelessly drunk and preform acts of carnal knowledge, that is what the site is for Hunter!
~Evil Grin~
Kuurus-Assissan 19:46:29 pm CDT
that is an idea..
Hunter {aura} 19:46:56 pm CDT
so long as its not vic bitter I am in Keeper...*L*
Keeper of flicka 19:47:12 pm CDT
~Nodding respectfully to the Lady.~
And Lita can help repair the carnage!
Dak 19:47:18 pm CDT
I have a topic, I will open the Forum, same rules keep greetings and chit chat to whispers for the benefit of the scribe,
first topic
Fathers on Gor
With this being fathers day in the USA I thought a topic that requires us to stop and think about fathers would be good. So with that said todays question(s) are
1. What do you think the father child relationship was like on Gor?
' 2. How do you think a child and father showed love or did they?
3. Do you think there are any relationships on Gor between parent(s) and child(ren) that mirror that of earth? Why do you feel the way you do?
flicka-slave of Keeper 19:47:24 pm CDT
~blushing a little~ Hmm Master Hunter, Jarl Keeper and flicka did in the Tavern, what the site is for, the other night. ~whispers~ Jarl was pleased flicka thinks.
Lita, Physician 19:47:45 pm CDT
Then U'd have to leave, Keeper. Free Women aren't allowed in the bath house. *grin* But maybe some would feel that's a good thing.
Keeper of flicka 19:48:46 pm CDT
Interesting aside, Father's day in the land of the pouched mammals is right near My birthday in September.
Lita, Physician 19:49:35 pm CDT
I would have to leave, that is. Gotta love those typos.
Dak 19:50:19 pm CDT
*laughing* @ Lita
Hunter {aura} 19:51:15 pm CDT
isnt that taking roleplay beyond sanity..Fathers on gor?...
besides the slave wine stops the wee bairns...not sure why goreans arent exctinct come to thionk of it
Kazar~infamous pirate 19:51:33 pm CDT
Keeper grins mine is Tuesday every 5 years it falls on my bday ~
Lita, Physician 19:51:59 pm CDT
Hunter, that is what Free Women are for in the books. To give the Free Men Heirs.
Hunter {aura} 19:52:57 pm CDT
thionk is a fine word with the same exact meaning as think by the way...not to be confused with thoink...which is what a pig with a cold says
Keeper of flicka 19:53:36 pm CDT
We can reasonably and safely assume that Gor is a very masculine and therefore patriarchal society. Ergo the relationship between Father and Son would be a strong one, if it follows the pattern of almost every other patriarchal society. Having said that those types of societies also produce friction between father and Son and the "Young Bull" grows impatient to prove His worth and position in society.
Hunter {aura} 19:53:39 pm CDT
Oh yes Lita ...We are all heiry buggers...lol
flicka-slave of Keeper 19:56:21 pm CDT
Mistress Lita, flicka thinks that a physician should be allowed in the Bathhouse, cause a Master might suffer a heart attack in there and then we would have even one less Master.
Kuurus-Assissan 19:56:49 pm CDT
U lose one flicka U lose One
flicka-slave of Keeper 19:57:51 pm CDT
~chuckling~ aye Master Kuurus, and flicka does love all the Masters.
Kuurus-Assissan 19:58:00 pm CDT
I don't
flicka-slave of Keeper 19:58:48 pm CDT
Master Kuurus, flicka is not surprised that You don't.
Kazar~infamous pirate 19:59:30 pm CDT
flicka even the lil terror grins
Keeper of flicka 19:59:51 pm CDT
However, all that is pure supposition.
Getting into the realm of pure fantasy.
As has been stated before, the general demographic that the books were aimed at were not all that interested in fathering knee-high-barbarians, so that aspect was largely ignored.
Lita, Physician 19:59:51 pm CDT
flicka, the rule here is no Free Women in the bath house, and I have not been given an exception. I suppose, should an emergency occur there, Someone might give Me one temporarily.
flicka-slave of Keeper 20:00:20 pm CDT
No Master Kazar, flicka makes exceptions for the feathered variety of Quasi Master.
Does like vulo pie thought, making it that is.
Hunter {aura} 20:00:58 pm CDT
the phusician just needs a cold spoon in the bath house..that would be as good as slave wine
ruby~{Randolph} 20:02:25 pm CDT
doesn't the Gorean Father take His Son to the Sadar Mountains at the age of thirteen? ..
flicka-slave of Keeper 20:02:34 pm CDT
~puzzled~ what use would Mistress Lita have of a cold spoon Master Hunter?
Kuurus-Assissan 20:02:55 pm CDT
shove it up someone's ass.. maybe flicka
Keeper of flicka 20:02:58 pm CDT
Lita, I damn near had a heart attack in there the other day!
It was brought on by flicka's ministrations.
What a pleasant way to draw down the curtain and join the choir invisible, suffle off this mortal coil...
Lita, Physician 20:03:07 pm CDT
Not sure about the exact age, ruby, but I believe He does.
Kuurus-Assissan 20:03:27 pm CDT
some are just born with a spoon up their ass
Dak 20:03:45 pm CDT
*laughing*
Keeper of flicka 20:04:15 pm CDT
Somewhat uncomfortable child-birth I would imagine Kuurus!
Lita, Physician 20:04:32 pm CDT
OPh next time You here of that happening, Kuurus,please call Me! I'd love to assist at that delivery! *snicker*
Kuurus-Assissan 20:04:34 pm CDT
never experienced it
flicka-slave of Keeper 20:04:58 pm CDT
~soft laugh~
Now there could be a topic for forum.
If a slave killed her Jarl/Master with a heart attack due to her perfection in the furs, would that make her whole body a weapon and ergo would the slave forfeit her life?
Kuurus-Assissan 20:05:03 pm CDT
I would like to shove it up further.. on some
Kuurus-Assissan 20:05:31 pm CDT
One could wish to die that way flicka
Dak 20:05:50 pm CDT
are You speaking of Free Women , Kuurus, *smiles*
Keeper of flicka 20:06:08 pm CDT
No flicka, it would possibly increase her value!
Kuurus-Assissan 20:06:11 pm CDT
Free Women on what topic. Dak? sorry I am confused
ruby~{Randolph} 20:06:19 pm CDT
and female babies from girls understanding were often just sold into slavery .. one less mouth to feed
Dak 20:07:06 pm CDT
shoving the spoon further, *smiles*
Hunter {aura} 20:07:06 pm CDT
Look... to be perfectly frank I have better things to do than bother with such a nonsense topic when there are important things that get swept aside repeatedly....but
I like the topic Kuurus proposed
Lita, Physician 20:07:40 pm CDT
A slave MIGHT forfeit her life for killing her Master, but not all slaves everywhere ion Gor were forbidden to touch a weapon. Some slaves had to touch weapons in carrying out their duties, though I don't think Gorean definitions were as strict as the TSA's on earth! *snicker*
Lita, Physician 20:08:46 pm CDT
Hunter if You wish to discuss another topic, by all means bring it up!
Dak 20:09:11 pm CDT
yes, that would be an interesting topic, but virtually it has been thrown out when brought up in the past , basically the disagreement on how things are done !
Keeper of flicka 20:09:41 pm CDT
Are Gorean spoon handles rounded or flat? Just wondering?
Kuurus-Assissan 20:10:01 pm CDT
Dak.. No kinda not singeling out FW... Never.. more some Others
Kazar~infamous pirate 20:10:05 pm CDT
Keeper rounded would be better yes ~
Kuurus-Assissan 20:10:49 pm CDT
Not sure I propsed any topic.. just comments by the way spoons were round
Keeper of flicka 20:11:23 pm CDT
Better than flat I think.
Hunter {aura} 20:17:52 pm CDT
Aye a comment which merits topic status
something to do with GS losing its way..its spirit...which is perhaps worthy of several forums worth of heads together and frankness as to why ..no point worrying about change till the reasons are established
Lita, Physician 20:20:52 pm CDT
good idea. Hunter
Dak 20:21:54 pm CDT
it seems we've tried that, aand it didn't go well, *smiles*
Lita, Physician 20:24:16 pm CDT
I thought we had discussed it before, Dak, but if people want to brng it up again, there's no reason not to.
Assissan 20:25:36 pm CDT
Someone has to take Leadership Role Here
Dak 20:25:41 pm CDT
oh, I think certain ones want to roast Me again, becuz I disagree with them, *smiles*
Keeper of flicka 20:25:52 pm CDT
A suggestion.
Formulate a topic, a well thought-out, well considered series of questions.
Place those questions on the Boards for a pre-determined topic say two weeks hence June 30th.
Then w/we come into forum with ideas for change and suggestions of how to go about implementing the changes if needed. Or
A plan on what each of us needs or should do to improve the site.
A least that way our answers are more well planned and not just made up on-the-fly.
Kuurus-Assissan 20:26:05 pm CDT
U know what Dak... Let them..
Kuurus-Assissan 20:26:49 pm CDT
Captains,FW
Kazar~infamous pirate 20:26:55 pm CDT
Hunter ``` would be the Council who does that`` same reason why nothing gets done~~ all show no talk ~
Kuurus-Assissan 20:27:15 pm CDT
because they are cowards..
Kuurus-Assissan 20:28:07 pm CDT
Dak has never shown Me.. He is a coward... nor Kazar
ruby~{Randolph} 20:28:15 pm CDT
Jarl Keeper that is a brillant suggestion, allows Oones that can not attend, to participate
Kuurus-Assissan 20:28:30 pm CDT
Lita.. shows a great appreciation and respect for FW
Lita, Physician 20:28:54 pm CDT
The Captains have the Leadership roles here, Kuurus
Kazar~infamous pirate 20:29:09 pm CDT
Jarl Keeper aye great idea
Kuurus-Assissan 20:29:10 pm CDT
have.. My question is do they show it... is all
Dak 20:30:00 pm CDT
oh, so far they show it to Me, telling Me to shut up, *smiles*
Kuurus-Assissan 20:30:03 pm CDT
I will say in public Lita.. I sometimes do not agree with U but I have always respected Your views
Lita, Physician 20:31:11 pm CDT
I thank You. Kuurus and yes, You have always treated Me with respect.
Kuurus-Assissan 20:31:21 pm CDT
and always will
Dak 20:32:14 pm CDT
The Lady and I have had our moments in the past, but things have been pretty good lately, *smiles*
Keeper of flicka 20:32:46 pm CDT
If W/we have more than just a basic quorum turn up, plus suggestions from absentee parties the result could be presented to council.
Gorean Shores is NOT a democracy, rather a benevolent dictatorship that needs to on occasion respond to its members suggestions when presented correctly and respectfully.
As opposed to a series of unrelated complaints.
Kuurus-Assissan 20:32:57 pm CDT
all Women Free or otherwise give moments.. Dak
Dak 20:33:42 pm CDT
aye, very true, *smiles*
Keeper of flicka 20:34:12 pm CDT
~Smiling at Lita.~
I too enjoy a verbal joust with the Lady, as long as I win said joust of course!
Lita, Physician 20:34:49 pm CDT
*giggles at Keeper*
flicka-slave of Keeper 20:35:07 pm CDT
Master Dak, flicka may have missed it but she has never seen in Forum Anyone in authority telling You to shut up.
Master Dak, flicka does not want to roast You because she disagrees with You at times, that would be akin to attacking the debater rather than the argument in a debate, it would lower flicka to an abysmal level of intellect.
Lita, Physician 20:35:52 pm CDT
Alas, My time is up. Busy week at work beginning tomorrow morning.. so I must go.
Kuurus-Assissan 20:36:00 pm CDT
Finger pointing does nothing
Dak U are Moderator.. take charge if this
Dak 20:36:33 pm CDT
well, not everything happens in Forum, *smiles*, and don't you think the roasts were about trying to get Me to shut up ???
Hunter {aura} 20:38:04 pm CDT
despite the great minds that led this place in the past one mistake that was made was the amnesty when dead and or banned people were allowed back...so the great history isnt perfect...I think that is worth thinking about
Kuurus-Assissan 20:38:31 pm CDT
u cannot rewrite history.. just work on the future
Kazar~infamous pirate 20:41:10 pm CDT
Hunter one cant go back in time~~~ as time goes on council changes have allowed others back in
flicka-slave of Keeper 20:41:11 pm CDT
No Master Dak, from what flicka has observed they were debates, heated albeit, but debates nonetheless.
As to what happens in private, well we all have our crosses to bear and ~chuckling~ in private flicka is also told some pretty eye-opening things about herself.
Hunter {aura} 20:43:19 pm CDT
From that point on the spirit began to erode...it shows in the corks ... but not because of any person or persons....but because there were flaws in decision making...and apathy has set in slowly but surely so that the real crux decisions arent made at all eiether rightly or wrongly......to Me that is the real thing that deserves attention
Dak 20:45:33 pm CDT
most things here could be less of a problem if the manual was observed properly as it once was, then there is nothing to discuss !
Bretval, Merchant 20:48:48 pm CDT
I am not going there again
Keeper of flicka 20:49:04 pm CDT
The manual is only a reference point not the be all and end all.
Dak 20:49:38 pm CDT according to who ?
Hunter {aura} 20:50:10 pm CDT
thats actually funny Dak...
but its not about you Dak...sorry to busrt that bubble...actually your not a problem despite your best efforts to belittle anyone that doesnt fit your narrow ideas
Kazar~infamous pirate 20:50:15 pm CDT
Tal Bretval good too see ya my freind
Keeper of flicka 20:50:40 pm CDT
Gorean Shores:
"This slave manual is a way of helping you develop as a kajira of the tavern, and provide a reference point if you have any doubt as to what to do. " gorean-shores.com/gorhome/slave_manual.html#introduction.
Bretval, Merchant 20:51:51 pm CDT
well said, Hunter
Kazar~infamous pirate 20:51:51 pm CDT
Keeper cant one over time always add amendments to the manuel
Dak 20:52:39 pm CDT
and few even do that ! it helps little if those reference points are not observed as they once were when GS was thriving !
Bretval, Merchant 20:54:55 pm CDT
Here we go again... how you feeling ruby?
OriginalSandman_Builder/ Sr. Captain of GS 20:55:01 pm CDT
walking in silently and sitting down,, nodding to each one so as not to disrupt the flow of discussion
Keeper of flicka 20:55:11 pm CDT
It has been changed many times, it is only a guide.
The slaves do not have to be exact about it.
"5 – 6 posts is about normal for a serve and about 6 lines per posting, this is only a guide or an average so don't panic if its either a little shorter or longer " angelfire.com/vt/goreanshores/kajirainfo/serve-basics.html
Dak 20:56:52 pm CDT
do you really think on Gor slaves did NOT have to be exact???
ruby~{Randolph} 20:58:02 pm CDT
girl is well Master Bretval, thank You..are You speaking about her opinion?
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure~GS~fg 20:58:14 pm CDT
the 6 lines per posts can't really be rigid..snow types on a small pc, so what is six lines to her, may not be to others with a bigger screen...and to just put in extra words for their own sake, spoils what the girl is trying to show...her feelings
Keeper of flicka 20:58:26 pm CDT
In reality W/we are not discussing minute detail that can be backed up with endless quotions, rather I think Hunter was talking about broad brush strokes.
(As a RT Historian/Teacher I am rather over-enthusiastic with endless quotes, just ask flicka!)
~Laughing~
Keeper of flicka 20:59:01 pm CDT
Well that is what the manual says.
Bretval, Merchant 20:59:29 pm CDT
then move to Gor, Dak... and all your slaves can be perfect
flicka-slave of Keeper 21:02:17 pm CDT
And so once more we are bogged down in minutae.
Bretval, Merchant 21:03:18 pm CDT
not really ruby. just trying (and failing) to avoid this once again
Kazar~infamous pirate 21:03:32 pm CDT
same topic over and over agin ~`
Hunter {aura} 21:04:00 pm CDT
yes...round and round we go
Kazar~infamous pirate 21:04:07 pm CDT
no two serves should be exactly alike we all have personality
flicka-slave of Keeper 21:05:33 pm CDT
mistress snowrose, flicka agrees with you and her Jarl, flicka would have been banished from her creative writing course had she indulged in parabola e and useless extra words merely for the sake of padding.
Bretval, Merchant 21:06:12 pm CDT
thought your thoughts on planning ahead for future Forums were good ideas, Keeper
Keeper of flicka 21:06:19 pm CDT
If two exams are handed in the same it is called plagiarism.
If two serves are handed in the same it is called boring.
ruby~{Randolph} 21:06:52 pm CDT
lol Master Bretval...goes ahead anyway
tries to take the moral high ground
less verbal bashing, and more getting things accomplished would be insightful...the slaves have been participating on a strong level of late
Kazar~infamous pirate 21:11:13 pm CDT
Keeper exactly `` what i said lets ones personality show up in a serve
Dak 21:11:23 pm CDT
GS was anything but boring when I came to it, 13yearsago, and they were doing positions and serves on the same basics, it was just the colorful things they added that were different !
Bretval, Merchant 21:13:31 pm CDT
*LOL* other slaves also call it plagiarism but not quite as politely
flicka-slave of Keeper 21:14:59 pm CDT
~laughing~ Master Bretval, flicka thinks it is uttered as "she is stealing my serve/dance/fucking." screeched loudly and with spittle flying.
Bretval, Merchant 21:16:24 pm CDT
Make up your mind Dak .... do you want serves exactly as in the manual or do you want some then creative... stop arguing in circles
Keeper of flicka 21:16:51 pm CDT
Bretval: The first step is to have well structured plan and not complaints. Suggestions, not complaints is the answer.
I agree with you ruby.
"more getting things accomplished" is what it is about.
ruby~{Randolph} 21:17:47 pm CDT
even slaves squabbled in the books..the Free usually cared not, unless it inferred with Their pleasure and comfort
Dak 21:18:05 pm CDT
I think we had a forum on that awhile back, and I believe that is the reason GS has always had the girls doing the same basic serve but adding their own color to it, it's called creative writing !
Keeper of flicka 21:18:55 pm CDT
~Laughing RT~
I have known a 18 year old student to say and I quote:
"she is stealing my ideas fucking bitch."
Yes; there was spittle flying at the time!
flicka-slave of Keeper 21:19:01 pm CDT
Only 13 years Master Dak? ~chuckling~
flicka has been around online Gor since 1996, her maths is not up to working that out. One thing that flicka can say about GS is this, never has flicka been involved in a Gorean site where there is less tolerance of bitchiness amongst slaves than here. It is a credit to the site that nastiness and snide remarks from one slave to another are not tolerated and therefore just do not happen.
This is due to Leadership from above and matters more to flicka than any (pun intended) slavish adherence to a manual written many years ago and in urgent need of updating.
Kuurus-Assissan 21:19:02 pm CDT
slaves are slaves nothing more
ruby~{Randolph} 21:19:10 pm CDT
interfered..even..cringes to Jarl Keeper
Dak 21:21:02 pm CDT
Gor in Toroldsland?? flicka ?
Keeper of flicka 21:21:33 pm CDT
~laughing~
A very quick correction ruby.
Oh and I spoke to your Master.
I have his permission to give you a small reward later.
Bretval, Merchant 21:23:08 pm CDT
and without them nothing gets done
ruby~{Randolph} 21:24:08 pm CDT
blushes hot to Jarl Keeper ..wiggles rump over crossed heels..barely catching her breath with thought..yes, girls Jarl informed her
Hunter {aura} 21:24:10 pm CDT
Tal Captain...
if I may be bold I would say silence is not what makes a forum....the council must have thoughts on the matters that get raised a lot of late........I for one would be interested in those
and I dont mean about the manual
Keeper of flicka 21:24:40 pm CDT
Curious?
What do you mean by the remark:
"Gor in Torvaldsland?? flicka?" Dak?
Dak 21:25:42 pm CDT
Torvoldsland is considerably different then southern sites !
Kazar~infamous pirate 21:25:57 pm CDT
flicka smiles at her Lil terror squacks
OriginalSandman_Builder/ Sr. Captain of GS 21:26:00 pm CDT
You may speak your mind in Forum Hunter as all may as long is respect is offered
OriginalSandman_Builder/ Sr. Captain of GS 21:28:21 pm CDT
as for GS Im my Humble opinion we have a slave manual. I don't think anyone expects serves to be verbatim, tho they should be in the style appropriate for Port Kar
Keeper of flicka 21:28:48 pm CDT
I have noticed one or two small differences.
I trust there was no implication that the North and its Jarls and bondsmaids are in any way inferior to the good people here in the south?
Keeper of flicka 21:29:16 pm CDT
Could not agree with you more Sandman.
Kazar~infamous pirate 21:29:25 pm CDT
Sandman aye why we have slave class yes
OriginalSandman_Builder/ Sr. Captain of GS 21:30:54 pm CDT
smiling to Keeper I don't think anyone would say that Northern style serves are inferior to those in Port Kar, merely that we expect slaves here to serve as appropriate to Port Kar.. I have seen Northern style serves here and had no problem with them coming from a slave trained in that style that was privately owned
flicka-slave of Keeper 21:34:40 pm CDT
Master Dak, if provenance of this Gorean slave is what you are seeking then;
flicka's first Gorean home was Steel Dawn run by Ubar Berek Halfhand, flicka was there until she was purchased by a Jarl and removed to a Northern Hall.
Dak 21:35:29 pm CDT
I have in the past had visiting slaves serve Me in Northern style, but they were only visiting, but ones here regular should serve in the style of a Gorean Tavern !
Hunter {aura} 21:35:47 pm CDT
I speak My mind often ...and with respect I hope...perhaps too often
Keeper of flicka 21:35:59 pm CDT
That is fair and reasonable as always Sandman
Bretval, Merchant 21:36:32 pm CDT
nothing will change, Hunter... any changes require unanimity of the Captains most unlikely
flicka-slave of Keeper 21:38:28 pm CDT
Master Dak, the only Northern serves that are done in the Tavern are as fun serves at Festivals, or when a Master directs it to be done because there are too many Masters and not enough slaves present.
Like Master Sandman has said, we are in Port Karl now, and even though many slaves here look to a Jarl, all of us serve in the Southern manner.
Bretval, Merchant 21:39:35 pm CDT
well said, flicka
Dak 21:40:03 pm CDT
the point is what do you wish to change it to ?
flicka-slave of Keeper 21:40:05 pm CDT
hmm flicka knew a yummy boy once called Karl, but now of course she is in Port Kar.
Dak 21:40:55 pm CDT
ok, wen do you do a 5 post serve flicka ?
Keeper of flicka 21:42:04 pm CDT
There is an Urthen saying form a place that makes excellent wine and cheese.
"Vive la difference"
Bretval, Merchant 21:43:59 pm CDT
change to what, Dak?
Hunter {aura} 21:44:12 pm CDT
but again I would say ...an empty tavern as it is far too often is, is the problem....not which way they serve ...thats only worth worrying about when there are people ...the site will die on the vine unless the reasons its empty are decided and acted upon...without doubt in My mind
Dak 21:44:44 pm CDT
*smiles*, wasn't aware slaves were making wine here, *smiles*
OriginalSandman_Builder/ Sr. Captain of GS 21:45:23 pm CDT
looking to Hunter and what reasons are those Hunter,, folks have been talking about how to attract more here for at least 7 or 8 years
Keeper of flicka 21:46:23 pm CDT
flicka, don't answer.
As I posted before Dak:
"5 – 6 posts is about normal for a serve and about 6 lines per posting, this is only a guide or an average so don't panic if its either a little shorter or longer"
angelfire.com/vt/goreanshores/kajirainfo/serve-basics.html
Dak 21:48:07 pm CDT
for many years, the beautiful sexual, sensual serves were the attraction, since you really aren't being served a real drink, *smiles* do you think people show up here just to get a make believe drink, *smiles*
Hunter {aura} 21:48:09 pm CDT
I think we have talkled about that enough Captain...we know why...
I am talking not about new people here thats a sepertate issue and much broader...I am talking about the many that avoid going in rather than be criticised no matter what
Dak 21:48:52 pm CDT
yes, the 6 lines per post is all that guide refers to !!
maddie~anne{GS} 21:50:34 pm CDT
~frowns as she tries to catch up, thinking she has, she bites down on lips as she remains quiet by sheer force of will~
Bretval, Merchant 21:51:48 pm CDT
that's a new concern to Me Hunter... criticised by whom for what?
Keeper of flicka 21:53:24 pm CDT
No, Basic English comprehension.
A sentence consists of one group of ideas.
Because "5-6 posts is about normal" appears in the same sentence as "this is only a guide or an average so don't panic if its either a little shorter or longer" the reader should logically assume the latter statement refers to everything within the sentence.
Dak 21:54:36 pm CDT
well, it was well interpreted to Me back then !
flicka-slave of Keeper 21:55:00 pm CDT
No Master Dak, it is yet another example of the ambiguity of the Manual, one can read it as referring to 5 or 6 posts, or one can read is as referring to the number of lines, or one can read it as referring to both.
It is a good illustration of why the manual is not something that should be followed verbatim.
Hunter {aura} 21:55:27 pm CDT
its been disussed enough Bretval..its all in the forums of recent past...although I cant find where those are posted since March 23 some discussion at times in book club also
maddie~anne{GS} 21:56:06 pm CDT
~shakes her head, wondering when it became about the "average" number of lines and words and NOT about the meaning of the service, true service that a slave offers....it isn't averages and such, it is about feelings that a bared and can not be gamed/faked~
OriginalSandman_Builder/ Sr. Captain of GS 21:56:33 pm CDT
rising my time is at an end I have a long RT week ahead
flicka-slave of Keeper 21:56:34 pm CDT
Master Hunter, flicka is sorry, she is behind in posting the forums, she is remiss and will try to get the ones she has received coded and posted as soon as she can.
Keeper of flicka 21:57:45 pm CDT
Yes flicka; Splitting the sentence in two would remove all ambiguity. Although I must confess I am not here to discuss the finer points of The Queen's English.

Neither is flicka my Jarl, and surely it is time to leave?
Hunter {aura} 21:58:42 pm CDT
grins to flicka....that wasnt a rebuke to you pon My word
Keeper of flicka 21:58:52 pm CDT
I always though average was boring, I always aim for above average!
~Chuckling~
Hunter {aura} 21:59:01 pm CDT
I would suggest that this two hours would have been better spent in the tavern doing what is rarely being done
Hunter {aura} 21:59:34 pm CDT
or the bathhouse....as Keeper did suggest....*L*
flicka-slave of Keeper 22:00:22 pm CDT
Master Hunter, flicka knew that ~blowing Him a kiss~ but she must endeavour to get the forums up to date. Otherwise what is the point of them?
Keeper of flicka 22:00:52 pm CDT
Bath-House is always fun Hunter.
like I said the other day.
Keeper goes in, water comes out!
Bretval, Merchant 22:01:41 pm CDT
I quite agree with that, Hunter *g*
Hunter {aura} 22:02:07 pm CDT
well flicka girl....I think they will show a lot of frustration and beating around and around the bush...may well be better if they dont get posted...*S*
ruby~{Randolph} 22:02:20 pm CDT
that is an excellent point Master Hunter..Oones should be able to read the Forums in a timely manner
looks to the Senior Captain
Master Sandman
a girl wonders why the Forum scibes can not be posted to the corks..rather or in addition to the web pages
Dak 22:02:26 pm CDT
well, I will close the Forum, and you all can move to the tavern, *smiles*
thanks flicka, for scribing !
flicka-slave of Keeper 22:02:27 pm CDT
Master Hunter, flicka was thinking that we should post any "exciting" encounters we have in GS on the role play board. ~little wink to Jarl Keeper thinking of the "heat" the other night~
ruby~{Randolph} 22:03:28 pm CDT
oh...ooops..too late for the Senior Captain

Tank You for leading Master Dak
thank you for scribing flicka
Keeper of flicka 22:06:04 pm CDT
The delay with Forum and others is that every line must be coded into html (Hyper text Meta Language), not to mention editing out PMs and Greetings.
A very slow process.
Bretval, Merchant 22:06:09 pm CDT
thanks for scribing flicka
ruby~{Randolph} 22:06:32 pm CDT
thank You Master Dak for leading
pretty flicka..for scribing
well wishes...lifts from her kneel, to her Jarls Holdings
Keeper of flicka 22:06:54 pm CDT
Thank You for moderating Dak
as always thank you for scribing flicka.
flicka-slave of Keeper 22:07:33 pm CDT
Thank You for leading Master Dak.

~listens to her rumbling belly and the echo of her Jarls from the other end of the house~
Keeper of flicka 22:09:43 pm CDT
Time to go flicka
Time to Feed Me!
Hunter {aura} 22:10:20 pm CDT
I think ruby ...its exactly what I have been prattling on about....the apathy I spoke of is why the site and the corks are dying away...and leaving the work to too few...we all have busy lives away from here and to get things done takes teamwork
there arent enough captains around often enough oiling the machine by example...to make sure the team is on the same page...pardon the pun
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure~GS~fg 22:10:45 pm CDT
Bon appetit Jarl Keeper..and hopefully flicka will be permiitted some gruel
Dak 22:11:52 pm CDT
I wish all well, that are leaving !
