JEOPARDY, HAPPY AHN &BOOK READINGS?
Rollo the Ax 19:25:23 pm CDT
Welcome everybody to this weeks edition of the GS forum.... we will follow the same rules as always... everybody gets to have their say...even slaves, as long as it is done in a respectful manner.. once we start, keep the personal chit chat and greetings and such in WHISPERS so as to take some of the burden off of the scribes... anybody with a topic, question, or anything they wish to discuss, PM it to ME, and I will bring them up as time allows.. Okay ??? lets begin......
Laroona 19:25:38 pm CDT
LOL galah the bosk will moooooooo loudly enough LOL
I think I go mid/late October this year...
Jarl Thorrn 19:29:32 pm CDT
down under and at the top
both can be joyful, galah
*grins*
Rollo the Ax 19:30:31 pm CDT
LOL.. for those that don't understand galah's references... here in the place in Oz where we live, one old time politician tried to fight daylight savings by telling the people that the cows would get confused and NOT know when to get milked and that the extra sun light would fade the curtains more ... no kidding, he really did... and some numb nuts bought it and voted against it.... ??? real rocket science..... LOL...
Rollo the Ax 19:31:37 pm CDT
ubderstand ??? UNDERSTAND !!!
Jarl Thorrn 19:31:44 pm CDT
Laughs for real here at cows and curtains
Laroona 19:32:01 pm CDT
LOL Captain Rollo they did too....
but your daylight is about the same anyway....
Breanna Dar~Shay 19:33:13 pm CDT
No so much the cows, but us, trying to remember if it is the time of year to count back 1 or 2 Ahns...
OriginalSandman_Builder/Captain of GS 19:33:14 pm CDT
chuckling I was taught in Builder's School a long time ago that a Northern Politician's son had a hard time remembering pi was 3.14 ,, and actually introduced a bill in the state legislature to change it to 3 in that state
Jarl Thorrn 19:34:02 pm CDT
hints Breanna the merchant
one could sell curtains covers to those numb nuts
*grins*
Laroona 19:34:13 pm CDT
I use a world time clock reference
that makes life easier LOl
Jarl Thorrn 19:35:18 pm CDT
ok, Sandman
and has that bill been accepted?
*GRINS* one never knows with politicians .... *L*
Rollo the Ax 19:35:34 pm CDT
Our first topic or perhaps just a simple question to all .... this past week, we had a rather poor turn out to both our Jeopardy night and our Happy Ahn night... the question now seems... * Are these STILL things that folks want to keep happening... or does the Council need to come up with something different for these times ????
Breanna Dar~Shay 19:36:02 pm CDT
*grinz at Thorrn* I happen to like My Wagon curtains, all faded and such it gives them such a rustic appeal...*lol*
rhian{GS} 19:36:40 pm CDT
rhian just is not available during those times, Master Rollo *sighs*
nassy{GS} 19:36:43 pm CDT
nassy enjoys both Master Rollo just her real time has yet to settle down...
OriginalSandman_Builder/Captain of GS 19:36:49 pm CDT
I say keep them going ,, people will attend when they can,, I dont recall hearing anyone they didnt enjoy them
Jarl Thorrn 19:37:57 pm CDT
weren´t many who attended but we still had some fun
but truely missed galah´s happy ahn game *w*
Kat 19:37:58 pm CDT
I found it enjoyable the other night when I was there a few minutes *S*
Breanna Dar~Shay 19:38:03 pm CDT
It could be the time of year too Rollo, summer up in the NH is just now winding down, and people will be stuck inside soon, perhaps then the turnout will be better...
Laroona 19:38:32 pm CDT
may I suggest if they are going to remain low then maybe have less than once a hand, and maybe every 2 or 4 hands
galah{GS}fg 19:38:35 pm CDT
just a warning if we keep happy ahn, gal is runnin out of ideas for new games for happy ahn, might hafta go back and repeat some of the old ones again
Jarl Thorrn 19:38:36 pm CDT
and one or 2 slaves for serving the paga at happy ahn
*L*
Rollo the Ax 19:39:19 pm CDT
???? Well why Not Sandman ??? what does a silly thing like 2000-3000 years of mathematics matter ???? all those . points ??? LOL...LOL... sounds like the person in question would not know * pi * if it bit him on the ass anyway.... LOL...
Kristian.. speak softly, but carry a big stick 19:39:37 pm CDT
Sandman.. you wonder how some people can even live w/their stupidity.. lol..
galah{GS}fg 19:40:16 pm CDT
only problem with that Mistress Laroona is that ppl will have trouble remembering if its an on week or an off week, then even fewer show up?
Laroona 19:40:39 pm CDT
that is true galah ....
Xertog 19:41:31 pm CDT
I missed Jeopardy this week. It was the first week I have missed it. I started a new job last week and my time for GS just cut a whole lot.
Jarl Thorrn 19:41:56 pm CDT
so true galah
we can remember time change twice a year
but knowing if it is happy ahn this week or next week and ever .... hard *l*
Kristian.. speak softly, but carry a big stick 19:42:28 pm CDT
I think stupidity is a prereqisit for becoming a politician.. chuckles..
OriginalSandman_Builder/Captain of GS 19:43:55 pm CDT
congrats Xertog
in my case I am still in the busy season of my work .. it will hopefully slow down in the near future
galah{GS}fg 19:43:58 pm CDT
i gotta admit, i wasn't at either event this week, i took a week off for R&R...sometimes even a slave needs a break
Jarl Thorrn 19:44:06 pm CDT
they prove it all the time and in all time zones, Kristian
Kristian.. speak softly, but carry a big stick 19:45:11 pm CDT
LT.. lol.. they sure do..
Laroona 19:46:29 pm CDT
the change of Jeopardy was a bit hard as the instigators were not present LOL
but we managed... I think LOL
Rollo the Ax 19:47:23 pm CDT
Perhaps it is too soon to make drastic changes... all of the mentioned reasons do come into question... the time of year... seasonal changes... just plain * shit happens * .... What we all need to remember is that * on-line * is a fluid situation... each persons abilities and times restraints may well change from week to week/ month to month... plus factor in the basic pendulum theory and we need to NOT worry about short term issues and plan more for the LONG term...... Okay ??????????
Jarl Thorrn 19:47:32 pm CDT
it was GREAT Laroona
i manged to make a point *L*
Kat 19:47:36 pm CDT
It will be fun for Me learning, soft smiles..
galah{GS}fg 19:48:05 pm CDT
**wonders who the instigators are as she gives a wondering gaze from one to another**
nassy{GS} 19:48:40 pm CDT
not nassy she assures you mistress
Ulrich 19:48:45 pm CDT
We made it work for us anyway Laroona. LOL
Who knows if it was played as intended
Breanna Dar~Shay 19:49:08 pm CDT
*grinz at Rollo* here here!
Laroona 19:49:11 pm CDT
*winks at galah*
Laroona 19:49:38 pm CDT
Ulrich we sort of tried LOL....
Jarl Thorrn 19:50:18 pm CDT
for me this works, Captain
galah{GS}fg 19:50:21 pm CDT
you winked at me Mistress Laroona, does that mean your an instigator? heheheheheheeeeee eheheheheeee **cracks up**
Ulrich 19:50:23 pm CDT
This week was probably just one of those occasions where several of us had RT obligations to deal with on the same nights.
Xertog 19:50:24 pm CDT
Since we are talking about nights we have things scheduled. I am considering starting up the book discussion night again. We would work our way through the books reading about 50 pages a week and discuss it on Mondays. But I'd want to make sure there is interest in it first.
Rollo the Ax 19:50:46 pm CDT
So then... lets leave things the way they are .... for now... and we can always make changes if need be later on.......
aurora{Ulrich} 19:50:53 pm CDT
wonders what the original intent of happy ahn was?
~meaning does there have to be games at every one?
*just a thought*
Laroona 19:51:23 pm CDT
galah you never know LOL
rhian{GS} 19:51:53 pm CDT
rhian would love that, Slave Master
Laroona 19:52:16 pm CDT
a good point aurora.....
it could be just a gathering and getting to know thingy
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 19:52:34 pm CDT
shadow does Master Xertog, have interest
but not sure she could get as little as 50 pages read at this time.. *s*
Laroona 19:53:17 pm CDT
Xertog yeah please slow down on how much we need to read LOL....
Ulrich 19:53:26 pm CDT
galah to address your game ideas for happy ahn, I don't think it's absolutely necessary that we play a game at every one.
Sure an occasional meat toss or whatever could be entertaining to break things up, but I don't see anything wrong with it being a bit of a social event where Free can enjoy the ale, swap a few tales and a few tails
Xertog 19:54:15 pm CDT
We got through the first 3 books when we did it last year so if we start it up again I'd like to start with book 4 Nomads of Gor.
Laroona 19:54:17 pm CDT
Bearing in mind FW may turn up... as it is open for all... *S*
Kat 19:54:18 pm CDT
~Smiles
galah{GS}fg 19:54:23 pm CDT
guess the idea aurora was just to have something different than the everyday sitting around and having a drink...just like the taverns and pubs and bars have events going on to keep ppl coming in....and good practice for some RPing too, in a relaxed atmosphere...galah gets the feeling at times, like some ppl here find it hard to RP?
Jarl Thorrn 19:55:07 pm CDT
murmurs ..... not forgetting to toss some kajiras
*grins at the dicussion before Forum started*
Xertog 19:55:07 pm CDT
50 pages a week is too many?
Breanna Dar~Shay 19:55:14 pm CDT
*clapps and slightly bounces* NOMADS!! My favorite! *lol after all I am Tuchuk*
Rollo the Ax 19:55:14 pm CDT
Brother Xertog...... if you want to try the book nights once again, then by all means do so.... the issue of who or how many take part will always be a hit and miss issue I am afraid.... but for those that take part, the benefits will more than show themselves...... I am sure....
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 19:55:26 pm CDT
50 pages is a lot! to shadow anyway..
so Nomads? hmmm girl best get to reading to keep up
Kristian.. speak softly, but carry a big stick 19:55:32 pm CDT
Rollo the Ax.. I would be interested in how close the scrolls are to the books..
Breanna Dar~Shay 19:56:05 pm CDT
*chuckles at galah* kajira-o-kee..
Laroona 19:56:10 pm CDT
*drags out the old soapbox Moonglow left behind*
galah I agree... some are only interested in a paga and furring
that is not what Gor is about
Xertog 19:56:17 pm CDT
I some times do galah but I think the games have been fun.
Jarl Thorrn 19:56:26 pm CDT
a lot too many - when one got no book yet
vina{GS_O} 19:56:47 pm CDT
**smiles ...listening
aurora{Ulrich} 19:56:56 pm CDT
there are more and more new people coming in
~welcoming and visiting, chatting and having fun
sometimes just a talk down memory lane is fun
Breanna Dar~Shay 19:57:21 pm CDT
*smiles at Laroona* no, it isn't...but it is up to each of Us to define it..
Laroona 19:57:32 pm CDT
Xertog for some who study or are at colleges in RT
yes as they have required readings...
vina{GS_O} 19:58:54 pm CDT
this one has required readings, a ton of it,
Laroona 19:59:11 pm CDT
aurora ohh please do not get galah and a few others going down memory lane LOL
aurora{Ulrich} 19:59:24 pm CDT
games are not always r/p so to aurora those are two different things
its also a good time for slaves to get more comfortable around the Free and serve, get to know each other...it shouldnt be all about games
Xertog 19:59:40 pm CDT
Perhaps the readings could be cut back to 30 - 35 pages a week. Breanna it is my favorite out of the 24 books or Norman I have read too.
vina{GS_O} 19:59:40 pm CDT
but she is still trying to catch up on the conversation..sooooo she doesn't know what is the topic....sorry
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 19:59:49 pm CDT
or just required life.. ~laughs~
nassy{GS} 20:01:07 pm CDT
nodding nassy's life would allow 50 pages a night if she could get ahold of the book
galah{GS}fg 20:01:10 pm CDT
as we play a trivia type game on one night, gal was seeking out interactive games, but perhaps we could do other stuff too, as Mistress Dar~Shay just gave gal a great idea...how bout something once in awhile like kajira-o-kee? we take an earthen song and turn it gorean and sing it for others to enjoy during happy ahn?
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:01:51 pm CDT
*smiles at Xertog* It's so fast moving, action, mystery, it just flows so well!
Rollo the Ax 20:02:15 pm CDT
Xertog... are there still links or sites with e-books that those who do NOT have copies can use to read the books ??? there used to be some around, but then legal issues made many close down... how can ppl without books take part ???
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 20:02:48 pm CDT
why not a dance night during Happy Ahn?
not that shadow dances well but chain does..
and shadow volunteers her, if Master allows..
*winks at chain*
nassy{GS} 20:03:33 pm CDT
shudders at the thought of a dance night...
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:03:55 pm CDT
*grumbles* I used to have at least the first 10 downloaded, but I can't find them now. Ebay is a place to look, and Amazon had used copies a few years ago...
rhian{GS} 20:04:19 pm CDT
that would be good, shadow. it would give us new girls the opportunity to see a dance in action. *grins*
Laroona 20:04:20 pm CDT
that is a good idea dancing, singing
aurora{Ulrich} 20:04:30 pm CDT
laughing and pulling her chains hair!!
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 20:04:31 pm CDT
nassy those beautiful long legs, bet they could dance away.. *s*
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:04:46 pm CDT
*lets out a hoot of laughter thinking about the last dance night in GC, with Mazah throwing an Axe through the door....*
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 20:05:05 pm CDT
shadow can sing Mistress!
well shadow *thinks* she can..
nassy{GS} 20:05:35 pm CDT
no shadow nassy has no ermmmm rythem for dance..
now then errmm other things..that these long legs can do....welll errmmmm best not to mention
Laroona 20:05:54 pm CDT
Captain Rollo most of the free sites have been pulled by JN
there only way to get books and some now is through his site..
I think there are some C&P passages from the books through the site... *S*
galah{GS}fg 20:05:56 pm CDT
gal always kindda thought that getting to know each other was every other day of the week when GS isn't doing nuthin though aurora, don't wanna just have happy ahn be another just like any other night of the week? and as for having a dance night, that makes for even less talking and getting to know each other as its considered rude among most ppl to talk while a slave dances?
Rollo the Ax 20:06:35 pm CDT
LOL...LOL... Not * Raiders * which Port Kar and our home is taken from ??? LOL...LOL... BIG surprise that * Marauders * is perhaps MY favorite of the books....LOL.
Jarl Thorrn 20:06:56 pm CDT
just checked on ebay
all Gor books in german language here and that would not be good to learn the propper words, expressions and such
aurora{Ulrich} 20:07:59 pm CDT
but its not getting to know each other every other day kinda thing mistress because its difficult for people to get here at times
and happy ahn provides the perfect ambiance for that
the dance could be shorter, doesnt need to consume the whole ahn
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:08:10 pm CDT
*grinz* But imagine how You can impress Your Friends Thorrn...
Ulrich 20:08:14 pm CDT
A night of dancing sounds like fun. Like I said, we can mix it up a bit here and there.
It's happy ahn, let's be happy.
Sometimes a game, sometimes dancing, sometimes just shoot the bosk dung a bit. Who knows an occasional spar may break out.
It's happy ahn, we should relax and let it become what it becomes. Objective #1 is to get people to come.
Sure we want to improve r/p, but there are many facets to r/p.
Laroona 20:09:09 pm CDT
also the Forum room being OOC is a good place for ppl to get to know each other *S*
aurora{Ulrich} 20:09:35 pm CDT
aurora used to have a link Master Rollo
if she can find it she will forward it to her Master and the Council
Jarl Thorrn 20:09:40 pm CDT
With talking german, Breanna?
*grins*
for that special english language does better
Xertog 20:09:43 pm CDT
Rollo the free online book web sites have been shut down from what I understand since Norman is selling the books as e books.
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 20:10:21 pm CDT
well truly when shadow thought Happy Ahn up the idea was a night that others would know others were here.. top hang out and get to know each other.. not that shadow has been able to come for the last long while
Not meaning like a DANCE night but a girl could dance at a Happy Ahn as the entertainment once in a while.. just a thought
nassy{GS} 20:11:21 pm CDT
nassy would be willing to pay for e-book
Laroona 20:11:37 pm CDT
Happy Ahn was not made for one FM to hog a slave
and I have found that at the times I have been present to be rude as it detracts from the intent
Rollo the Ax 20:11:39 pm CDT
Okay...Okay... we are getting so far afield here that we are losing our way...... Xertog... if you are going to start book nights again, then by all means do so....just announce the when and where...okay ??? and for now, Jeopardy and Happy Ahn will remain as is.. with some possible slight changes... songs and such .... okay with everybody ???
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:12:25 pm CDT
I agree with Ulrich
RP gets too stuffy and serious some times, I hated it when I was in Character and Someone came and went before I could even speak.
It's nice to relax and be Bre every once in a while. Most of us are Gorean in and out of Character, once You learn it, it becomes a part of You till there is less and less RP and more of Your personality...
Laroona 20:13:22 pm CDT
Captain Rollo sounds like a plan to me *S
Ulrich 20:15:04 pm CDT
Sounds good to me Rollo.
I don't really see the discussion as a "change" to happy ahn, other than relieving the pressure of trying to think up a new game every single week. Just allowing it to be a little more fluid.
OriginalSandman_Builder/Captain of GS 20:15:50 pm CDT
Fine with me Rollo
vina{GS_O} 20:16:59 pm CDT
hmmm...is it possible that libraries would have copies of the series?
Jarl Thorrn 20:17:04 pm CDT
nods too in agreement
Rollo the Ax 20:17:21 pm CDT
That is why the Council made the Forum room an OOC chat room when not in use for official events.... forum, these book nights, etc., then it is business as usual.. other times the forum room may be used to just * hang out * and speak in an out of character manner......
aurora{Ulrich} 20:17:29 pm CDT
~soft nod as she hears Master speak~
rhian{GS} 20:17:33 pm CDT
girl hasn't found any, vina, but check used book stores.
Laroona 20:18:08 pm CDT
vina some may have... also second hand book stores...
vina{GS_O} 20:18:32 pm CDT
thanks rhian, vina will check
vina{GS_O} 20:18:43 pm CDT
yes Mistress
Laroona 20:18:44 pm CDT
hey rhian get off my skirts and reading my mind LOL LOL
rhian{GS} 20:19:49 pm CDT
*giggles*
Rollo the Ax 20:19:58 pm CDT
Ulrich.. the whole time of the Happy ahn need not be used for a game or such.... like you say... the idea is to make or keep EVERYBODY * happy *.... so just do whatever seems right......
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 20:20:09 pm CDT
not how shadow meant.. hang out
she meant in role to get know Gor
at the time we had a lot of new slaves that were afraid of the Tavern
and Happy Ahn was to encourage them to not be afraid to venture in..
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:21:10 pm CDT
*bursts into laughter at Rollos EVERYBODY* Lord Rollo to do that You're talking free flowing paga and chocolate bars.
Rollo the Ax 20:21:52 pm CDT
a library is a good place to try ... many have at least some of the books.... used book stores MAY have them, but here, they are getting rare to find it seems....
Jarl Thorrn 20:22:02 pm CDT
uurrrrgggggg ... paga with chocolate bars
*grins* @ Breanna
Laroona 20:22:14 pm CDT
Breanna you could get the drued bosk dung off your clothes and toss them at the slaves heeeeeeee
Laroona 20:22:34 pm CDT
dried even
aurora{Ulrich} 20:23:01 pm CDT
in Ontario, you are not likely to find them in libraries
or Chapters ~ Barns and Noble maybe, but ebay is the best place
vina{GS_O} 20:23:29 pm CDT
Yes Master Ulrich, this one was not aware that the books were taken offline...she use to have access to all of them
nassy{GS} 20:23:40 pm CDT
this site has the e-books..
fictionwise.com/eBooks/eBook937.htm?cache
Ulrich 20:23:56 pm CDT
Well Rollo, we've established that nothing we do will make EVERYBODY happy, but we try. lol
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:24:08 pm CDT
*lol at Laroona* I rather liked that drued bosk dung, it sounds European...
Rollo the Ax 20:24:12 pm CDT
LOL.. well, how does the old saying go ??? ** You can keep SOME of the people happy, some of the time.. but you will NEVER keep ALL or the people happy ALL of the time .... ** ???? So I say we shoot for as many HAPPY folks as we can, and call it GOOD ENOUGH !!!!!! LOL...
Laroona 20:24:58 pm CDT
nassy great that is the "official" site *S*
some of the books are being re-written too and covers have been changed
Ulrich 20:25:10 pm CDT
That's about all we can do Rollo. LOL
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:25:27 pm CDT
*lmao and whispers to Laroona* now They will call that a game, shooting Happy Folks...
Xertog 20:25:34 pm CDT
I have gotten all my books off of ebay. Most were pretty cheap. Especially the early books. Magicians use to sell for a lot on ebay. But I have not looked at the prices on e bay for a long time.
nassy{GS} 20:25:52 pm CDT
blushes thank You Mistress Laroona, girl will buy the book later tonight or tomorrow to start reading soon...
Laroona 20:25:54 pm CDT
Breanna well I was close LOL
heee maybe it could be a new type of bosk dung LOl
rhian{GS} 20:27:40 pm CDT
*raises an eyebrow* there is more than one type of bosk dung, Mistress?
Ulrich 20:28:17 pm CDT
You can also find them on amazon.com
amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=nomads+of+gor&x=0&y=0
Laroona 20:28:25 pm CDT
rhian there is now LOL
Breanna and I have made it so LOL
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:28:43 pm CDT
*g* you might just find out if you participate in Xertog's readings *winks at rhian* I wouldn't want to spoil the fun...
rhian{GS} 20:29:00 pm CDT
*giggles*
Laroona 20:29:34 pm CDT
Breanna that would have the girl searching now LOL
Jarl Thorrn 20:29:40 pm CDT
doesn´t like ebooks for fiction
can´t run a round everywhere with a laptop for reading
a book is a book is a book ... made of paper for me
*l*
rhian{GS} 20:30:55 pm CDT
girl agrees, Jarl Thorrn, but when in need....
vina{GS_O} 20:30:58 pm CDT
**smiles to Master Thorrn
Jarl Thorrn 20:31:49 pm CDT
griins @ rhian and in need
Rollo the Ax 20:31:49 pm CDT
Well it may come as no surprise to many, but due to the fact that i have been into the books since they FIRST came out.... ( yes, maybe before some of YOU were even born... LOL.. ) I have had and lost many copies... LOL.. I used to sell them Myself on ebay YEARS ago.... LOL.. and now adays just don't bother.... LOL.. LOL.. ** Looking at the rack with maybe 150-200 books in it.... LOL... LOL... the postage costs from Oz to the USA killed much of My sales.... LOL..
nassy{GS} 20:31:58 pm CDT
Jarl Thorrn at the amazon site that Master Ulrich posted You can buy the book
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:32:01 pm CDT
*grins at Laroona* The fun of reading:
1. enjoying the novel
2. finding hidden gems of wisdom
3. driving kajira nuts with "what ifs"
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:33:12 pm CDT
*chuckles* Sounds like You need a local distributor Rollo, someone in the states as sort of a silent partner...
Laroona 20:33:14 pm CDT
*sniggers with Breeanna*
of course that is why FW are sooooooooooooooooooooo mean LOL
Rollo the Ax 20:33:37 pm CDT
Anyway folks...... we have well and truly flogged these issues... lets try to cover one more.......
Jarl Thorrn 20:33:48 pm CDT
same here Rollo
i used to buy a lot on Ebay around the world but the payment for postage drove me nuts
KISSING THE SIDE OF VESSELS?
Rollo the Ax 20:35:13 pm CDT
the question came up about a kajira kissing the vessel when serving a FW... is it right or wrong ???
vina{GS_O} 20:35:45 pm CDT
hmmmm...is pondering that question...
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:36:39 pm CDT
*shrugs* depends on a room's definition of right or wrong...strictly by the books, or by the room rules?
Jarl Thorrn 20:37:08 pm CDT
knows what rhian thinks about that: Wrong
Right : kissing the FW
Laroona 20:37:52 pm CDT
I thought it was part of the serve....
as a sign of respect to the Free they serve no matter the status...
rhian{GS} 20:37:55 pm CDT
just the vessel, Jarl Thorrn *giggles*
rhian{GS} 20:38:38 pm CDT
a visiting FreeWoman found it an odd custom
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 20:39:21 pm CDT
shadow agrees with what Mistress Laroona thoughts are, its just the belly of the vessel so unsure why a slave would not?
Laroona 20:39:27 pm CDT
*looks at Thorrn*
who said kissing a FW?
it is kissing the side of the vessel
Laroona 20:41:10 pm CDT
I neeed to depart
I wish to thank Captain Rollo for moderating
I wish to thank rhian for scribing
I wish all well
((I know not permitted in forums but I wanted those acknowledged as it helps me a lot))
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:41:44 pm CDT
Can Anyone remember a passage from the books that mention it?
vina{GS_O} 20:42:37 pm CDT
Mistress Breanna, this girl can not remember of a passage, but then it has been a very long time since she has read them...
Rollo the Ax 20:44:20 pm CDT
It boils down to the simple answer... ** Our room, OUR rules, our way....* far too often, others see only a part of such a thing and condemn it off hand.... without seeing what REALLY is going on..
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:47:37 pm CDT
Just as online is a liquid environment shouldn't the room rules be also?
What I mean is, shouldn't the Elders, Council Members, Room Mods, etc review the rules and the meanings every once in a while and ponder if they still apply?
So it is mentioned in the books; does it HAVE to be that way?
So it is not mentioned; does that mean You can't do it in Your own Home?
Ulrich 20:49:12 pm CDT
Breanna it's not uncommon for us on the Council to review a rule and change it if necessary, or state that it still fits and should remain the same.
We do try to stay close to the books, but yes there are some onlineisms that we practice here
Xertog 20:50:17 pm CDT
Breanna the Council does look at the rules and change them from time to time. A lot of that comes from suggestions made at these forums. We had a person taking advantage of a loophole in our rules not that long ago and we fixed it.
FM Breanna Dar~Shay 20:52:25 pm CDT
There You go
If You feel it is ok for a kajira to kiss the outside of a vessel during a serve, then All in Your Home should respect Your rules....
galah{GS}fg 20:53:20 pm CDT
i always took the kissing the vessel as a sign of devotion for our desire to serve and be found pleasing...its not done in any way to be a sexual thing in any way so i can't see why it wouldn't be done for FW also to show her that our devotion is for all free, not just for the
{Ulrich's}shadow GS~sg 20:54:10 pm CDT
so well said mistress..
Rollo the Ax 20:54:17 pm CDT
LOL...LOL... NOBODY on the Council ever said that we were PERFECT !!! we try to keep things as close as we can to the books... but when one book contradicts another, and changes what is * normal * from one to the next, it would be impossible to make it ALL match.... so we decide what to follow and what to leave by the way side......
nassy{GS} 20:54:31 pm CDT
nodding her head in agreement with mistress
najla{GS} 20:56:20 pm CDT
~nods~ mistress very well said ~w~
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:56:28 pm CDT
*lmao* Back to shooting Happy Folks again Rollo?
There will always be Those that want to whine and gripe, because they have nothing better to do then whine and gripe
Ulrich 20:57:14 pm CDT
galah that's the way I always viewed the kissing of the vessel as well.
Well said
Jarl Thorrn 20:58:34 pm CDT
very well said to understand the kissing of the vessel
thank you galah
~s~
Rollo the Ax 20:58:47 pm CDT
Does EVERY * kiss * have to have a sexual nature ?????
Breanna Dar~Shay 20:59:12 pm CDT
I did it.
When I was part of the chain at the BK.
It was a blessing to the Mistress I served. I didn't do it to all of Them, just Those that were special to me.
nassy{GS} 20:59:18 pm CDT
no Master Rollo they don't have to be...
rhian{GS} 20:59:26 pm CDT
no, Master. it doesn't have to be
najla{GS} 20:59:46 pm CDT

hazel {GS} 21:01:59 pm CDT

rhian{GS} 21:02:43 pm CDT

vina{GS_O} 21:02:48 pm CDT
**smiles at Master Thorrn's words..
.
Rollo the Ax 21:03:36 pm CDT
then why does kissing the vessel even come into question ??? Somebody... somewhere.. did NOT do it for whatever reason, so they want to make some big fat hairy deal out of it being done HERE ???? Just tell them to kiss MY ..... oh, never mind, they would think THAT had something to do with sex also....... LOL...
Jarl Thorrn 21:04:02 pm CDT
LOL
rhian{GS} 21:05:01 pm CDT
*grins* girl will make sure to direct those to You, Master Rollo.
Breanna Dar~Shay 21:05:04 pm CDT
*doubles over in laughter* will that become part of a serve also? paying hommage to Your errr...Backside? That would be the kiss of death!
Ulrich 21:05:46 pm CDT
lmao
Breanna Dar~Shay 21:06:30 pm CDT
People come and go, when they come, they want to change everything to their game, play it for a while, give up because they loose, then leave.
You get the joy of cleaning up the mess when they are gone...
Look at GC...
Rollo the Ax 21:07:08 pm CDT
LOl.. they want to kiss MY * backside * they better wash their mouth with Lysol before hand.... LOL...LOL... LMAO....
rhian{GS} 21:07:46 pm CDT
...and drown their heads in lysol afterwards? *laughs*
OriginalSandman_Builder/Captain of GS 21:08:11 pm CDT
laughing and slapping my knee .. by the PK's
Breanna Dar~Shay 21:08:41 pm CDT
*rotflmao at rhian* perfect timing sweets
vina{GS_O} 21:10:36 pm CDT
Mistress Breanna? what is GC?
Rollo the Ax 21:11:08 pm CDT
That is it in a nut shell, Breanna.... far too many feel things should change to suit THEM, instead of them conforming to the rules and ways of a new place.... My position is that if they don't like it the WAY it is here already...... find some other place better suited to THEIR way odd doing it.... no great loss if they don't stay.......
Breanna Dar~Shay 21:12:02 pm CDT
*sighs* Gorean Chat vina
*softly* it was once a beautiful Home, it still is beautiful, just not much of a Home
vina{GS_O} 21:12:34 pm CDT
that is too sad...
Breanna Dar~Shay 21:12:49 pm CDT
*eyes twinkling* And that is Gorean Rollo!!
Rollo the Ax 21:14:03 pm CDT
LOL...LOL.. what they do after is of no concern to Me, rhian..... They may be so taken with the experience that they may NEVER want to wash their mouth again...... LOL...LOL..
Breanna Dar~Shay 21:14:16 pm CDT
*s* aye lil one
Too Many came at the same time, there were things said, promises made, and no one backed down
Some good changes, some bad
Then the glue that held it all together left.
The people...

vina{GS_O} 21:14:53 pm CDT

Breanna Dar~Shay 21:15:02 pm CDT
*sticking My tongue out* bleeeekkk...*lol*
Rollo the Ax 21:16:57 pm CDT
vina.... Gorean Chat was the home of MANY of my old time friends... it was a friendly site to GS and we often visited each other...
rhian{GS} 21:18:33 pm CDT

Breanna Dar~Shay 21:18:39 pm CDT
*smiles* We used to rotate the forums, one week at GC, then Steel Dawn
Rollo the Ax 21:18:55 pm CDT
