I have been watching an learning in this room for quite sometime, and something has always puzzled me. it makes me wonder why this thing keeps on going and keeps coming up in so many way, yet it rears its ugly head and appears at great untimely manners. And I will say I try to keep quiet for one simple reason. It is the very reason I shut up listen and know my place when Ragnar, Raziel, any commanding Officer or council etc address me IC. Why is it that in all of this room that we have structure, we have clans, we have elders, and we have members, there is a chain of command in almost every aspect of the room EXCEPT when dealing with a simple slave. Why is it that on the subject of proper serving proper conduct, that everyone becomes an expert? Do we not have Coordinators that are there to handle this job? Yes we do, then why is it that we as members and roleplayers get in the way of these fine members doing there job.
Put yourself in these shoes. Your a simple candlemaker and you see an apprentice Bowyer doing something that is wrong with his clan work. In no way are you an expert, are any of you going to correct that Apprentice when its Clearly Raziels Clan? Not if you value your life.
So it boggles my mind when a slave a thrall is doing something wrong, inproper, we all spring to life and suddenly are brainiacs that know everything about slave thralls and there conduct. Sorry Taryn Im going to use you as an example... kritine, a simple slave, a new slave, wasnt all that bad, has her character fall off a wagon and die for the simple fact of Taryn is filling her pm with what a slave is supposed to do. Now Taryn knows way more than I on Slaves and the books, but try being the slave and hearing so many different ways of doing this one simple thing, So many different ways to please there Masters and Mistresses. So many ways of one moment being told to do the same task this way and the next moment different Master tells them to do it another way?
How are we creating a great enviroment in Rp for, In my opinion one of the hardest postions and characters to do.. a Slave... Familure I love lure to death but that women has taught me more gave me more websites, more information correcting me on any little thing that I may make of use so that I become a better Roleplayer in this room. They have a hard positon to do learn, they are the Customer service people of Tuchuk that have to please everyone.
Some days they may be great, some days they may screw up. But what gives us the right to think we know better that the very Slave coordination team that is teaching them, that spends there own personal hours testing the slaves and thralls so that we may have a more lifelike Roleplay enviroment? we should get the hell out of the way, let the clan members do there work and shut the hell up about anything else...We all have our places and we should know them By now.. this is the finest room on the realms for Gor pure and simple... So why is it that sometimes we forget the simple rule, its a universal rule for roleplay and I think we all maybe need to think of it a little more with Slaves Thralls and all of us..
Theres another person on the other side of that screen, So in the end try to respect that
well thats it for me..
