A Gor Invite

For those looking for it, I will also be doing combat and evasion training for any interested, group sessions or more 1-1 for those wanting a bit of privacy.

All welcome. Anyone interested in training to join the Warrior caste also should look us up.

Thanks Judas but a question. Will there be actual role play or more discussion learning type interactions or would it be everyone sitting in the main hall area and being served by slaves while the Free drink and chat? My faith as I have stated in Asperiche one night has been lost. It's the role play that is lost. Not many actually rp but main sit and chat of what was "old" and used to be. I'm seeking good role play scenarios. Is this around?

Hi Shaina, I am not answering on behalf of Judas, I would just like to add that You are welcome any time to come to Asperiche and role play, I am often in and out of My Shoppe and it would be fun to have some interaction there, if this is what interests You. (PS the bakery next door to My Shoppe just happens to empty and needing some TLC ~grins ~)

What would you consider good RP scenarios to be, Shaina?

Excellent idea! What's the dress code for FW on Asperiche again? Sleeping platforms or floor mats?Public baths or in house? And the going rate for a good bed and breakfast/inn around those parts? Are FW allowed to take constitutional strolls in the city? Escorted or unescorted? What about invasion protocol? Are there places to hunker down in case of a siege? Oh...uh, I should be asking these in Asperiche, right? LOL :)

there is a website, basically is dress to impress......... as per Your caste, Veils as per Caste but must be worn inside the City Hall out of respect, always best to travel with guards (any decent FW would be without a Versace Model or two by Herside) The city has many guards and safety measures however, You never know who may be lurking in the bushes or some dude with a crossbow crawls in..........B&B, let Me see going rate is 5 copper, but for You........ one silver, errm I mean not sure cont

best to ask Judas, 10 guest rooms with a partial view of the ocean, first in best dressed or best bedded, ummm moving on, first class Gorean B&B , Private bathhouse for Free, constitutional strolls are a given the gardens are just too beautiful, strolling in the city .......generally safe as per above.......Invasion protocol and siege strategy, byo alcoholic drinks http://www.freewebs.com/asperiche/

Danke!

Thank you for the invitation, Judas. I have immensely enjoyed my time visiting Asperiche.

dern, correction *any decent FW wouldn't be without Guards

Great info, Warrior! Is that the Asperiche guide though? Completely? (As I will be representing Vendara, I dunna wanna be seen as "backwards")

Nono just probably the most complete works on FW protocol.

Thankee kindly!

Npnp 50% off all future purchases and call it even?

Oooo, the head of a Merchant! :P And no...35% including clearance.

The Asperiche guide can be found from the link I posted earlier ~ points up ~

Clearance?!?!

Hey, it happens, Warrior! (chuckles) Alright, for You, I'll make it 40%, including clearance AND first pick of new merchandise (Male clothing and accessories ONLY)

Hey Pen, You stealing one of My customers there!!

(mock gasp!) :o Moi??? I not stealing...I offering uh....variety....and um....yeah a more expansive shopping experience! (nods all emphatic-like) ys) ys)

~coughs and splutters~ dam gnats Im sure the slaves put them in the drinks~ well of course We don't have the same secret umm exclusive sources of pilfering ummm purchasing and trade yeah

Yet....er...ah...that is to say Yeah! that's right! Diversity and more Choice for the Consumer! Let's drive that Economy! Right? :D

So I wish there was a reply to the comments of the comments in this message thingy like facebook. Anyhows, to answer Shahzadi first-- I'm really contemplating speaking about renting the bakery next to your place. I really would love to see how the appetites of Asperiche is. Plus I just know I could be purchasing other items to the shop keeper next door. Oh and I'm sure I can tempt the owner with the "free" smells from my bakery in hopes to entice you....erm the owner to purchase a few items.

Secondly to Wamph -- Role play scenerios hmm, there are so many. A trip around Asperiche to learn about the city. I'm sure its not the same as it is in other cities. A tour of the main hall. Are they all set up the same? Does the kitchen look the same? A trip through the gardens, again are they all the same. Why not have homes give new people a look of what their city is via not a web site I can read, but actual role play. I guess we can all make it up then later be told it was all ....

incorrect. How about some shopping in the markets? Or using some NPC to interact with you and your guests as a way to make the life of Gor real upon word form. Or maybe some laughter, some entertainment of sorts. A scenario where it isn't just sitting, ordering a drink while slaves do all the work, the Free pat their heads and say good job then we sit and visit. After a while it gets really old. I'd like to see some storyline r/p. Watching others r/p and really enjoying themselves. cont.

I know there are parks in the city, maybe some strolling in the park. Looking at the ships, talking about them. Watching some young FM practicing some knife play. Some true life of what gor is presented in the word and creative form. I'm a visual person so I like details to be seen. Others are more the talking type. A good mix would be nice. One sided r/p isn't fun. Interaction in r/p is what brings us here. These are my suggestions on what good role play would be. A question to you...

What is your ideal role play scenerios? I know I know, twins!! :) But you are a taken man, so that's out. So what else? What else could a FM, a warrior, want from rp?

Ohhh Yesss Yesss Yessss........Illl have what She's having, ............some fun interaction role play!!

Ditto...and lots of sales, a thief chase, catch and dispatch of justice! A regatta display in the harbor! Rowing lessons...blah...blabbidee...

Me? I'd be happy seeing people actively participating in the castes they belong to right at this moment as I think that would be a good momentum starter. I think the only ones who actively are playing a caste are merchants at the moment, Pen, Shahzadi and the like.

Warriors fight/train/spar ... Phy's get to heal them ... Builders get to build arenas and training pits ... Merchants can source weaponry and armour ... Scribes can log and record ... That is just one thing .. cont

A simple fight and the impact that can have is far spread to many people. So Castes having some value and practiced would be good for me, then the same with slaves, I think a good slave house where slaves can train and learn before being sold into homes where they will be able to put those practices into use would be good, but also homes that will actually be decent too. Personally, I believe that is the right starting point, I think what you are talking about is more generic RP in terms of cont

Storylines and engaging interactions, and I think that falls off the back of what I said above. Also, I don't believe it is down to any one person to create storylines, if a storyline needs to be started than start it.

I agree Wamph. While visiting Asperiche, Shahzadi started her own endeavor of picking flowers from the garden. All it takes is one person to start something and soon others will be catching on. I think it would be a good idea for Free to do something besides sit around and get pudgy while slaves are expected to do their "thing". We should all taken an active role in getting gor started again.

I avoid carbs so I don't get pudgy!

I would be interested in learning some fighting techniques.

There's a sign up sheet.

Wamph there are others role playing their caste even the lower caste like a Baker. I always am working my caste some how even in the beginning when I enter to when I leave. I think this is important on what you said. I agree more need to do that. I see a lot of people say they are something but I never see anything happening with it. There are many warriors I have seen with claiming a caste, but not one has had a spar or fight since I came in ermm, November I believe, so 8 months now.......

I often think people claim something and don't actually do anything with it. I've not seen much role play except as you said Merchants and Bakers! Yep I will toss me in there because I have r/ped. I have seen and been part of other's role play such as scenerios that were set up by Chaldea and a few other FW. Do the FM actually r/p in Gor? I honestly see them sitting in a place and drinking and chatting. It is the FW or slaves attempting to get some r/p started. more......

I don't mean to bag on the FM, but really they need to participate also in the r/p. We like a bit of variety in the world. If not, we women would rule Gor and it would be one hellacious party, or one extremely long spa day. I enjoyed last night visiting Asperiche and r/ping some with Thiery at the entrance of the city. You all left so Penelope and myself took over Asperiche and raided the Cozy Nook Tea shop. *grins* It was fun and we created a bit of r/p among each other, hope to again.

I would post it in blogs to give people a taste of what r/p is. But alas I fail in that department of trying to figure out the blogs thing. It takes me a very long time to get that sort of posting up here when I cut and paste. I think its the Priest Kings saying something. It never posts. I'm looking forward to some r/p tomorrow with Asperiche grand opening. Should be some fun and I hope to see what Shahzadi has to offer. I sure hope there is some drama of maybe a fight breaking out *winks

A Free Man walks into a paga den. He's had a long day (patrolling the outer perimeter by tarnback or manufacturing giant cisterns for the city plumbing...or listening to a lecture on some surgical technique that He thinks is outmoded but He's not the head of Phy. Ed., so His thoughts are not considered relevant...or something) Anyway, He's tired, bummed and faces a long day of more of the same. All He wants is a couple bowls of paga, a game of bones, and that nice looking wench chained (cont'd)

to the pole in the dance pit. (And a rare bosk steak and suls special). He gets all of that, and realizes He's 8 CT short, and the Den Owner thinks He did it on purpose. An argument and fight ensues which soon engages a table of Warriors, two Blacksmiths and a Fisherman. The militia are called in and hauls everybody off before the magistrate. (Well, somebody is getting sent to the copper mines, somebody is getting impaled, and some peeps are dueling for honor) ~~~ANNNDDDD ACTION!!!!!

yay! very much looking forward to tomorrow!

that sounds like that dreadful day two outlaws raided the food place in Vendara and made off down the hill on an upturned table straight into the docks Penel...... dam that was an unfortunate day... as for those outlaws.... never found....strange that !

Yah, I think I was traumatized..... :P
