Raz,

The room would be TRC, nothing that happened there would count when the event was over.  Suppose Taspan wanted to play as Kimba-TRC for the event, and got killed.  My character wouldn't be dead.  No different if I am playing Kimba-TRC.

Last year, I hadn't been playing a Panther, so it was fun for me to be a different one.  But now, that I am in my character, I don't need the additional burden of trying to create something different.

Interesting discussion, thank you all.

True, I think I would urge that any event be held outside of PTJ, even if it is going to be another FE with Panthers.  I can see a lot of reasons why people would be uncomfortable.  Also, I have to agree with what lure has said, if 'Medi-TRC' was killed, it would affect me, the typist, so in any event that we put on, I will create a new TRC.  Actually, I think that is the point, to try something different.  "Medi" at last years FE was my first panther, and I actually didn't expect her to survive the event, and shelved her and went back to my other character after the FE was over.  (*Hugs* It was interesting that you saw how much I loved 'Medi', and helped me change her from a TRC into a new character).  And who knows, maybe me, or others, when given a chance to r/p a TRC Gorean character without running afoul of the dualing rule might learn something, or, in any event, have a lot of fun, which is why I think Rags puts it on.

I think that we ought to try something totally different, seeing that there are a lot of dedicated and talented r/p'ers who don't want to 'Panther'.  And I can certainly understand why the men are reluctant to play with Panthers, as I recall, we totally KICKED ASS!  ;D

I think that we should discuss this more, and see if we can come up with an idea that everyone will want to try out.  Maybe a shorter period of time, 3 weeks, max, might result in some more intense r/p.  I do believe that it should involve challenges, and possible death of a TRC...that really adds to experience.  Most of our homes are safe, characters don't get killed.

Where anyone brings out anything character wise for a few nights? -grins-. It'd be interesting to see what people would bring in. Or come up with.  ;D

Anybody can get lost/stranded/abandoned in the Forest/Jungle.

That is not exactly what I was getting at. -shrug-

That is a twist on the meaning of TRC....Temporary Roleplay Character.  Temporarily Roleplayed.  Not Borrowed on a timeout...might as well simply make it normal roleplay if you are going to use your normal character.

Nothing new and exciting there.  Its just who you normally are.

Rags, what I am seeing is that we should look at something other than the FE for January.  But, we need you to be the ST, be it as a narrator, or as a r/p'er.

I'm gonna be honest here, because, as extended family, you deserve my honesty.

I don't need Raz or anybody else to tell me how to roleplay.  If it's all kind of wierd shit going on that would never happen in the room, then it's temporary roleplay, not related to my roleplay reality.  It doesn't matter if it's April Fools, or Kajuralia, or an OOC party, or a TRC event going on in a room, it's all outside Gorean roleplay.  Alot of the kiddie dumbasses on other sites might call it dualling, but they call TRC dualling anyway, and who gives a squat what they think anyway, any more?

There are two directions.  Learning or grab-ass.  Rags was all on me last year about TEACH them, and next year they'll be better.  I never participated in your FE before, because it was an embarrassment.  Raz mentioned about how if you had a Tuchuk event, how it would be same-ole same-ole boring for you.  Ok, well imagine instead that there was a Tuchuk event held by those dumbshit Karians you were complaining about.  And they asked you to participate, and they were having a load of fun doing dumbshit stuff that was all wrong for Tuchuks.  How'd you feel about that?

Panthering is about community, teamwork, the good of the Band.  It's not about girls on top for a change.  You want to have your annual grab-ass Forest event, have at.

I remember last year, the last day, Rags had Kate captured and helpless.  There was alot of potential roleplay and drama there.  Can the others rescue her?  Should they try?  Should he hightail it with his prize, or take his pleasure, or use her as bait to try and snag the whole band?  But what did y'all want to do, including Rags?  Last day is kill-day, we want to go out and committ senseless brutality on each other.  Again, have at.

You want to make a mockery of Panthering, in my opinion.  Have at.

No one was telling you how to roleplay...carefully put, it is simply saying that if you play Kimba and she dies, then its a forest event and it doesnt count and Kimba goes back.  Looks bad on you, the room and webmaze and yes Im sure someone will bring up dualing so, Im looking out for all of the above.  Well, even the player behind Kimba needs a break from Kimba.  If not, that is you and good for you.  I simply said that there is nothing new and exciting in sticking to the same routine, but if that is your choice to do so, then c'est la vie.

You did pose a question to which I will answer.  How would I feel about those Karians messing up a Tuchuk themed event they were hosting?  Easy...I wouldnt participate.

Panthering is a community and about teamwork etc, but even the community, team, band/lair, must learn from others as well, not folks learning from just them.

Teach yes, easy enough to teach. Sometimes you have to retrain as well.  Which means unlearn then teach the right way.  Then again, sometimes, you just cant teach an old dog new tricks.  They are usually set in their ways.

Now that that is out of the way...let's not digress and drag the original topic through the muck simply because opinions have been noted on ideas and then those rebuttals are even further from the original topic.

Is there enough interest to once again do the Annual Forest Event, or would you rather I think of another Event to hold?

Anyone?

and one more time... ;)

Ive tried the event myself. Wasn't my own thing, but awesome that others do like it.

I don't know bro. How about an 'everything' kind of rp. Where anyone brings out anything character wise for a few nights? -grins-. It'd be interesting to see what people would bring in. Or come up with.  ;D

~borrowing a page from Sarant~

i think part of the reason i didnt really jump in last year was because the event was almost the whole month long. procrastination kicked in...letting me think i could always join in later. i know...bad legs, right? -lol-

maybe 2 weeks this year? force folks to well errmmm...shit or get off the pot (metaphorically speaking) -coughs- besides, leaving folks wanting more is always a good thing ~cheeky grin~

and to answer a question from the original post about other ideas and such...

what do you think of say...Port Kar?? i've always wondered about being a She-Urt!!

-rawr-

 ;D

so...yeah...i would like to participate if the forest event (if it is held this year), would just need to fight the procrastination bug

and...

i've kind of wondered about the dark seedy under belly of Gor...lol...so yeah...Port Kar kind of tweeks my intrest for a TRC event

-and as Sarant and lure have done before....-

I'll be honest...  If it still goes on this year..  I probably won't be playing in it.   It is nothing against the Event.  As I already said, I think it's good.  But it's not for me.  I tried last year.  I played two nights.  I'm sorry, but it didn't speak to me like it did to others.  I liked it, but it wasn't for me.  Does that make sense? 

As for another Event..  If another comes up, I would be willing to give it a try as well.

I think that deciding on the potential interest in a FE, is deciding the nature and meaning of the term FE.

As for what the rest of Gor thinks of me, that boat has sailed.

If I'm running a lair, it's no different roleplay anyway, whether as Kimba or Kate, just easier as Kimba.

Then don't participate? -shakes head-

I'm sorry to my Brothers here. I couldn't sit in silence here any longer.

RAGNAR;
I believe part of the issue with the FE right now? Is people wanting to play, but not wanting to because of how they would be precieved. Even when trying something new, and for the first time.

With a post like this on the boards, that horribly went off topic in such a terrible way? It's really not a surprise that a Forest Event wouldn't gain much traffic this year. The Forest Event is supposed to be fun. Not throwing the book at people who are trying to 'learn'. Though now this will be viewed as people 'learning' how to play something? Is nothing more than a mockery? So help me I really do not understand that crap at all.

So instead of bluntly stating how insulted by the above I feel, and I'm certain others do as well? Perhaps it is time for a change Brother.

So I propose this idea in a positive light. Instead of continuing to drag others down.

How about holding off on a Forest Event this year. By the looks of things? It is very one sided and unfair in alot of ways. So Instead doing something different so everyone is out of their element. So one specific person or group cannot spit in the faces of another group after said event is completed?

I like lure's idea of being by a port. Or even how about several ships on the high seas? Or by the mountains..Anywhere that will not have an abundance of Panthers, or other Forest Event related characters, or Wagon Camp style Characters?

If the whole draw of this event is to do something new, or out of our elements? I think it would benefit everyone? If no one had an advantage over the other. Though -snicker-. If I had my way. We'd have an rp with every type of char under the sun, just for the shits and giggles. -winx-.

There. That is the long winded version of what I was trying to say.

Oh and if you do require help with some PD ideas, coding help etc, Brother. You know my digits, and contacts.

Interesting...a PKE instead of a FE.

That would change the meaning wouldnt it?
