==Cleaned Up Log==
Scrimge says, "So, I don't have a huge amount on the
agenda tonight."
Scrimge says, "But I would like to announce one
upcoming event Platinum only event."
Scrimge asks, "How about a small auction, on New Year's
Eve here in my office?"
Scrimge says, "I'm in the process of coming up with a
list for approvals, and to get into QC."
Scrimge says, "But, I wanted to ask for ideas you'd all
like to see at said auction."
Vanwen says, "Will it be a token type auction or
a..."
Scrimge says, "Silvers was the plan."
Scrimge says, "I'm not opposed to a token system
perhaps, but I wasn't indending it to rival Ebon Gate auctions or
anything."
Speaking to Scrimge, Vorks asks, "Are you going to post
a thread on the forums?  We can toss some
ideas there?"
Anatae says, "Or reddit."
Caprolkian says, "No reddit. We have a forums."
Scrimge says, "I can certainly do that if you
like."
Vaein says, "Yeah, I wish we could get away from the
reddit stuff."
Retser says, "Limit 1 win from each."
Vaein says, "Twitter too."
Caprolkian says, "It might be antiquated, but it's at
least Simu."
Fjalar says, "I'd prefer the token system to a raffle
if there's a choice."
Fjalar says, "Tokens were fun."
Scrimge says, "I tend to announce my merchants on
twitter a few minutes earlier than in game, just saying."
Lyradie says, "Please start at least cross-posting the
Reddit to the official Plat boards. I don't Reddit."
Vaein says, "Yeah thats what needs to stop."
Caprolkian says, "Yes, we're aware. And it's a horrible
policy."
Scrimge asks, "The twitter stuff?"
Scrimge peers quizzically at Caprolkian.
Vaein says, "Yes."
Caprolkian says, "Yes. Any social media."
Speaking quietly to Scrimge, Talryssa says, "I dislike
this policy. The twitter or reddit stuff."
Scrimge says, "Cheerful group tonight."
Anatae says, "I can find reddit but I won't post on
it."
Talryssa quietly says, "And I feel it requires anyone
to use outside sources in order to not lose an advantage."
Caprolkian says, "You are making OOC choices have IC
benefits."
Scrimge says, "The forums are just as OOC as reddit or
twitter, and I'm all for any kind of social media that promotes the game.  That's why I'm a big advocate for that stuff."
Anatae says, "I'm sure we appreciate trying to spread
GS love other places, just more familiar with the boards and too much stuff to
check when twitter and such are added."
Vaein says, "Even if that is the case, there is no
reason to announce on Twitter BEFORE doing it in game. You don't even do it at
the same time. It is a straight benefit to following your personal twitter
feed."
Caprolkian says, "Except the forums are this games,
policed by this game, and under this game's policy. Much of the storyline in
prime is done on the forums."
Scrimge says, "And everyone has access to those avenues
as well, so it doesn't give anyone an unfair advantage."
Lyradie says, "We're just saying, we don't want to have
to go to three different places to see what you're saying about the game we
subscribe to. The forums come with our subscription, that's all."
Caprolkian says, "If it didn't give people an
advantage, you wouldn't tell us that it's advantagious to follow you."
Fjalar says, "I think the biggest thing is don't use
those things at the expense of not posting on the boards or in game."
Lyradie says, "Cross-posting's fine. Once-posting on
Reddit's weird."
Scrimge says, "I don't think I've posted any merchant
info on reddit yet though."
Fjalar says, "Some of the concern comes from when you
posted that you were doing work at EG on Reddit and not on the boards or
anything."
Fjalar says, "You did, during EG."
Scrimge says, "Anyhow, we're getting off topic."
Scrimge says, "Social media isn't going to go
away."
Scrimge says, "Sorry."
Scrimge says, "However."
Caprolkian says, "Your choice to use it could."
Caprolkian asks, "Or is "Sorry" your official
answer?"
Lyradie says, "No, but this is an OOC concern for our
OOC meeting, so it's on topic."
Talryssa quietly says, "Yes, you're right, social media
isn't going to go away."
Talryssa quietly says, "But..."
Scrimge says, "I'd love to hear what you guys are
interested in for the upcoming auction, and feedback on how it's distributed is
good too."
Talryssa quietly says, "Why do twitter or reddit users
get special advantage over non-users? Do both."
Philnia asks, "Is this a mass auction?"
Talryssa quietly says, "Announce in game at the same
time."
Caprolkian asks, "That's great, but about the other
subject several people were talking about?"
Vanwen says, "Fusion orbs for my bow."
Scrimge says, "Do keep in mind, I've never once
merchanted in Plat yet where I didn't get to work for everyone who showed
up."
Speaking to Vanwen, Fjalar says, "Excellent
suggestion.  Fusion orbs with decent
enhancives like those found in the treaure feeder for a time would be
great."
Fjalar says, "Orbs without restrictions and whatnot
too."
Caprolkian says, "But there is no reason to have an
advantage for following your personal twitter or reddit feed."
Talryssa quietly says, "Okay, that's a valid
point."
Speaking to Caprolkian, Scrimge says, "I disagree with
you entirely.  Let's let it go at
that."
Caprolkian says, "And your word is law."
Vaein says, "I agree with Cap, and disagree with you
entirely, Scrimge."
Speaking to Vaein, Caprolkian says, "We are just
customers, what do we know."
Caprolkian says, "Well, if 'Go screw yourself' is going
to be your offical answer, I've got what I needed."
Caprolkian says, "Thanks."
Caprolkian just left.
Scrimge gets a blank look on his face.
Jani softly says, "Umm. 
Maybe this discussion could be a fruitful and friendly one on the
official boards?  I find it interesting
that we're being asked for auction ideas."
Lyradie says, "I agree with Vaein and Cap. I subscribe
to GS. I shouldn't also have to subscribe to Reddit and Twitter. Although I do
have a Twitter account."
Scrimge says, "Well then, I hope nobody else felt like
I said that to them."
Dandi says, "And that's how you lose a customer for
good."
Scrimge says, "I'm answering honestly here, not trying
to argue."
Vaein says, "You just tried to sweep away a valid
concern some of us have."
Speaking to Vaein, Scrimge says, "That's not what I was
trying to do at all, I hear you guys loud and clear."
Speaking to Scrimge, Vorks asks, "You ok with us taking
the social media topic to a forum post?"
Scrimge says, "Just because I don't agree doesn't mean
I'm not listening and willing to adapt in some ways."
Speaking to Vorks, Scrimge says, "Sure, as long as it's
constructive."
Lyradie says, "You pretty much said move along now, off
topic. So, alrighty."
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Miaya asks, "So what's this
"auction going to cost?"
Vanwen says, "It doesn't have to go away I'd
think."
Vanwen says, "It just should not be the only
method."
Scrimge says, "I'm not going to stop using Twitter and
Reddit to promote Gemstone IV.  If that's
what you guys are asking."
Scrimge says, "So, let's move on."
Zakken says, "I think everyone is fine with promoting,
but not so fine with in game events being announced there before in game.  I think thats the only real concern."
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Miaya asks, "May I make a
suggestion?"
Scrimge says, "Certainly."
Vaein says, "I don't understand how you cannot see that
announcing stuff OUT OF GAME ON YOUR PERSONAL FEED, before you even give the
people currently PLAYING the game a chance isn't wrong."
Speaking to Scrimge, Vorks asks, "Auction: Can you give
us an idea of what range of items?  Are
we going very high end to low end?  Or
staying more middle focused?"
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Miaya says, "Why don't you
say all you wish to say we can all shut up and then address what you have
said."
Scrimge says, "I'm not against giving people a heads up
on the officials as well.  I think I've
tweeted a total of 1-2 events a minute or two before they were announced in
game or on the forums.  And nothing has
ever been announced on reddit beforehand."
Speaking to Miaya, Scrimge asks, "Because that's what I
keep you around for?"
Lyradie says, "Auction item idea: That enhancive hiding
pin."
Speaking softly to Lyradie, Miaya says, "Maybe we could
have that for our 15 year anniversery."
Scrimge says, "Yes, auction items.  I'd like to have a small amount of nicer
items, and mostly middle tier stuff.  GM
Haliste also may allow us to auction off the title to a property."
Scrimge says, "I was hoping for some excitment on the
auction thinger, I loved them as a player."
Scrimge says, "But I do understand the concerns,
certainly."
Fjalar says, "Definitely low on funds after all the
events this year."
Dandi says, "Its hard to be excited about auctions when
the bulk of things get purchased by a couple people."
Speaking to Scrimge, Vorks asks, "Any chance we'll get
certificates for 'servces'?  Or only
straight up items?"
Scrimge says, "So, I head weapon-splitter, armor
concealors..."
Speaking quietly to Scrimge, Talryssa says, "I'm sure
there are some people who like auctions, but... well, Dandi kind of said it. I
don't want to spoil that though for people who can afford it."
Vanwen says, "Pre approved verbs."
Lyradie says, "Enhancive hiding pin."
Fjalar says, "Almost all auctions have been a limit of
one purchase, so that's not really accurate Dandi."
Scrimge says, "Yes, I'm all for putting some limits in
place, so that the loot gets shared."
Speaking quietly to Scrimge, Talryssa says, "However, I
like that you're willing to do a 1 per thing. That would be great."
Speaking to Dandi, Vorks says, "Only one win a person
at auctions, so everyone gets something."
Zakken says, "Well, one per would only work if there is
enough items for everyone to win one."
Vaein says, "I think as long as there are enough items
for everyone and tokens it'll go over really well."
Talryssa quietly says, "Might I suggest too, that we
have a pre-list too, on what's bein gauctioned, so that we don't have any sour
at their 1 win when something they could have wanted more comes along."
Speaking to Scrimge, Mirrami asks, "How about language
translators?"
Lyradie says, "What kind of mid-level type mid-level
are you looking at though? It may be hard to wrest any cash out of the deep
pockets with mid-level stuff."
Scrimge says, "I'll open for questions here in a bit
guys, I know some of you have concerns."
Scrimge says, "Okay, well.  I've heard some good feedback on the
auction.  I'll try to plan accordingly
and keep it as fair as we can."
Fjalar asks, "Are you looking for mostly scripted items
or weapons/armor too?"
Scrimge says, "It isn't going to be to the scale of EG
though, that's not the plan.  I just wanted
us to have something fun that Prime didn't get."
Lyradie asks, "So Scrimge, how is our anniversary gift
coming along? Or will it now be 16 spaces for our 16 year anniversary?"
Speaking to Scrimge, Zakken says, "I'd really like to
see more neat items that add to RP, but is not all about mechanics."
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Jani says, "Perhaps a few
profession-specific items?  Some sort of
fancy lockpicking stuff, the massive hammer of doom, an animated cauldron, a
fancy runestaff."
Scrimge says, "Folks, let's hold any questions to the
end, and we can take turns.  I can't keep
trying to keep up with the chatter and answer effectively too."
Scrimge says, "Okay, next topic."
Scrimge asks, "I want to get your feedback on the
traditional Platinum events.  What ones
you enjoy, and what ones you'd like to see replaced or updated.  Or perhaps simply done away with?"
Dandi exclaims, "I like all events I don't have to pay
for!"
Scrimge says, "Such as...the Sweetheart festival that
was run last February, for one."
Fjalar asks, "Can you be more specific about
'traditional plat events'?"
Speaking to Wyrom, Scrimge says, "Hey, it's the boss
man."
Talryssa quietly says, "I'd like the sweetheart gala to
be a yearly event for the Carnival."
Fjalar says, "It's ok.. could use some sprucing up in
my opinion."
Scrimge adds, "Or. 
Events that once were traditional, and dissapeared over the years.  Stuff like that."
Fjalar says, "Winterfest."
Fjalar says, "Was absolutely awesome for a free
event."
Talryssa quietly says, "Also, 2012 we had a Plat
Carnival, in Lower Trollfang."
Scrimge says, "Winterfest."
Hulp says, "Well, I been in Plat before, and it a real
sacrifice for me to spend the extra $$ at this time to play at this level,
there was no way I could do EB this year..."
Fjalar says, "Some decent enhancives sold, the magic
cheeses and a merchant that let you swap out the restrictions on the enhancives
from there."
Speaking to Scrimge, Vorks says, "Big fan of the
highman games, or something very similar. 
Get the manly festivals in there too."
Speaking to Wyrom, Halgur says, "I liked the butterfly
festival back when."
Scrimge says, "K, I'm writing these down as you mention
them."
Vanwen says, "I really enjoyed the FWI festival this
year."
Dandi exclaims, "The tree fest was really fun!"
Fjalar says, "Had high hopes that Winterfest would be a
regular event with some rotating stock."
Dandi says, "I really enjoyed the tree sprites, they
made me extra happy."
Speaking to Scrimge, Glurph exclaims, "Conquest wheel..
I don't care if we don't have enough people.. I yearn for the wheel!"
Vaein says, "Tree sprite fest was excellent."
Vanwen says, "Honestly, I enjoyed the gnomefest in
Prime too. I'd like to see some of the mentor events replicated here."
Scrimge says, "Good suggestion."
Jornaal says, "But one thing I liked years ago... the
players ran a festival."
Vanwen says, "I think that the nature of mentor events
lend themselves well to the plat enviroment."
Vanwen says, "They are short ish."
Miaya softly says, "What would be nice is/are festivals
that we can go to that we do not have to pay for that would be plat
exclusive."
Vanwen says, "One day or a weekend."
Scrimge says, "Good question, we should."
Philnia exclaims, "Make EG free!"
Dandi says, "I don't mind some paid events, but I do
feel like paid events are gettting on the heavy side."
Fjalar says, "Make GS subs cheaper."
Zakken says, "EG is a lot of work for the GMs, I
understand it having a cost.  But I still
feel plat should be getting more attention for the price we pay."
Miaya softly says, "I would love to see things happen
like when I first joined plat."
Speaking to Scrimge, Fjalar says, "I know a good
one.  Plat summer spectacular."
Miaya softly says, "Even silly stuff that happened to
me like getting sent to the scatter at level 5."
Scrimge says, "The reason I wanted your feedback on
this is because I'm trying to plan for the upcoming stuff in 2015, and wanted
to be sure we were giving you guys events you enjoyed."
Scrimge says, "So, this has definitely been
helpful."
Fjalar says, "Really would like to see a much bigger
push with the plat summer trials and lots of activity and raffles and whatnot
to attract new players."
Jani softly says, "I'd give up half the festivals for
more stories."
Glurph says, "Oh, the feeder frenzy back in 2010 was
one of the big reasons I stuck around Plat after coming back. Really enjoyed
that one."
Scrimge says, "There are definitely some stories going
on right now."
Fjalar says, "The EG taffy thing and other things that
led up to EG were a ton of fun too."
Cassae says, "I'd give up every single merchant, for rp
that is not all kittens and rainbows that the less bouncy characters could
partake in."
Speaking to Cassae, Fjalar says, "The bandits today
were trying to recruit some of us to their side today."
Miaya softly says, "We have a lot of good equipment in
game we want more stories like this bandit thing it's been a blast."
Vaein says, "I agree that lately the bandit activity
has been the highlight of plat."
Fjalar says, "NPCs that are more than just merchants or
one-offs for stories."
Scrimge says, "Well, you guys may not know it, but
you're already experiencing the beginning chapter of the storyline I've had
planned."
Scrimge says, "It's been running slowly over the
summer, and has been delayed more than I would have liked to do family stuff on
my end.  But, it's still going
strong."
Scrimge says, "Retser has been a big help in keeping it
going strong too."
Fjalar says, "I'd love to see more NPCs in plat on the
order of the Baron Hochstib's, Grisholm Stone, Elithian Cross, etc."
Scrimge says, "So, keep your eyes peeled, there's been
some hints of what's going on posted on the forums from other players."
Scrimge says, "However, once we wrap up a chapter, I'd
be glad to post an OOC wrap-up, like Kenstrom does on the forums for us."
Scrimge says, "Well, thus far, the bandits have been
recruiting, but some players have noticed there seems to be more behind their
efforts to recruit."
Scrimge says, "And most recently, with the clerics
arguing in front of the temple, a crack appeared in the stone that holds the
Griffin Sword."
Speaking to Scrimge, Cassae asks, "May I say/ask
something?"
Scrimge says, "Plat has a seperate history line, so it
makes it interesting.  But, let's just
say I plan to tie into the other history a bit as well.  I've got some very neat feedback from a few
of you on ideas to pull from."
Speaking to Cassae, Scrimge says, "Sure."
Speaking to Scrimge, Cassae says, "Its no secret that
Cassae has wanted the landing to burn to the ground for years.  She is vocal about it.  Sorry Taly."
Speaking to Scrimge, Cassae says, "But all the bandit
stuff happens in the walls of the landing. 
And she won't step inside them. 
So could you folks if you want her company find a way to reach out to
her?  Would love rp for us darker folks
anything.  I don't need a whole fish just
a fin or a spine."
Scrimge says, "I'll keep it in mind."
Cassae says, "And I know I am not the only one craving
a fish tail."
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Miaya says, "She is right
there are chars that will not step foot in the landing and ALL the storylines
and invasions happen here."
Scrimge says, "Let's just say that this summer so far,
there has been a very dark recruiter, recruiting very dark players, for very
dark things."
Scrimge says, "Quoting Retser there."
Fjalar says, "I'd like to see you as guru, take
ownership of plat and really make a mark on the history of plat."
Fjalar says, "Less of the shell of prime events, and
more stuff that is unique and shapes plat in it's own way."
Speaking to Scrimge, Cassae says, "We are willing to
work, but you got to toss us a life line. 
Plenty of places close to the landing that is not INSIDE it to gather us
too."
Dandi asks, "More time for the mayor campaigns this
year, with maybe even a debate?"
Scrimge says, "Keep in mind, some town Guru's still
want to run their own stuff here in Plat too. 
Such as Valryka with Illistim."
Scrimge says, "And Icemule with Marstreforn."
Fjalar asks, "I'm more curious if the GM's feel that
the Mayor stuff is working or if they think it needs tweaking or
anything?"
Scrimge says, "So, I try to keep my stories out of
those towns for the most part, so as not to overlap too much with them."
Cassae says, "You can meet in the Landing area without
being in the Landing."
Zakken says, "Speaking purely for me, since I seem to
be alone in this.  I love Icemule, I
spend a lot of time there on alts who are not Zakken.  I'd love to see more happenings there."
Fjalar says, "And the Mayor herself."
Anatae says, "The last thing I saw in Mule just fizzled
out."
Scrimge says, "I've only been watching the Mayor stuff
over the summer, but it seems to be a positive aspect to the game that I
like."
Scrimge says, "I'm not opposed to adapting it a bit
going forward though, depending on feedback from Taly and others."
Dandi says, "But Mayor is fun, I think she takes her
job seriously and we've all enjoyed her as such for the rp it gives."
Lyradie asks, "Can we bring up the Plat anniversary
gift elephant now?"
Fjalar says, "My personal feeling is that it hinders
the RP you guys can do with a player in the role vs an NPC like Grisholm
Stone.  I've always thought a player run
town council person or something would be a better fit."
[Scrimge's Office]
A tall bay window draped in thin, dark linen curtains serves
as a backdrop to this expansive room. 
Twining sage vines adorned in wild sunset-hued gladiolus blooms, frame
the window and creep out from behind the curtains, spreading across the back wall
and up toward an elaborate eahnor chandelier hanging from the peak of the domed
ceiling.  A wide black walnut bookcase
rests against one of the brocaded walls. 
A leather chair sits behind a black walnut desk.  You also see the Rienji disk, the Dandi disk,
the Glurph disk, the Vorks disk, the Anatae disk, the claw-marked Vanwen disk,
a half-circle soft leather lounge and a smoky glass serving cart with some
stuff on it.

Fjalar who is sitting, Jubliant Jani who is sitting, Vorks, The
Sylvan-in-Disguise Anatae who is sitting, GameMaster Scrimge, Voluptuous Vanwen
who is sitting
Speaking to Fjalar, Lyradie says, "They can do mayors
of other towns. There are a few towns."
Dandi exclaims, "Maybe other towns should have mayors
too? then we can have our own UN!"
Speaking to Zakken, Scrimge says, "I like Icemule too,
and I'm not opposed to spreading the love all over the game.  But the only towns under my wings right now
are the Landing, Teras, Zul and RR.  The
rest of the Gurus have opted to continue to work with Platinum.  So."
Scrimge says, "If you post in those threads on the
forums, let them know you'd like some love."
Anatae exclaims, "Yes, lets all go to Zul!"
Vanwen asks, "Speaking of RR, when will the launcher be
arriving?"
Scrimge says, "Oh, don't you worry."
Scrimge says, "There's some cool stuff in Zul I plan to
use."
Speaking to Scrimge, Fjalar says, "What does that mean
in regards to things like Clan Leader Griva ad Prince Eregrek on Teras."
Talryssa quietly asks, "If we're still discussing
mayors, could I mention somethings from the hot seat?"
Scrimge says, "Okay, let's slow the roll on the
questions a second and do the 1st grade raising hands thing.  Otherwise I'm gonna get lost in the
questions.  Let's see... Lyradie."
Scrimge points at Lyradie.
Scrimge asks, "What was your question about elephants?"
Lyradie asks, "Can we bring up the Plat anniversary
gift elephant now?"
Lyradie asks, "RSN? Can we exchange that for the
enhancive hiding pin?"
Scrimge says, "I admit I don't know a thing about the
anniversary gift stuff.  I'll throw a
bone at Wyrom and see what the deal was. 
The go from there.  I'm making a
note of it now."
Scrimge says, "It's now on my follow-up list of
doom."
Fjalar says, "15 extra spaces in every town's
locker."
Fjalar says, "He posted in the announcement folder a
while back."
Lyradie says, "It was supposedly announced at
Simucon."
The scent of death and decay wafts by as GameMaster Wyrom
shambles in.
Wyrom says, "It's still coming."
GameMaster Wyrom shambles away, leaving no trace of his
whereabouts.
Scrimge says, "Hrm... apparently Wyrom says he's poking
our Devs about that.  It was supposed to
be 15 extra locker spaces."
Scrimge asks, "Okay, hands?"
Cassae raises her hand.
Fjalar raises his hand.
Scrimge says, "Cassae, then Fjalar."
Miaya raises her hand.
Scrimge says, "Cassae, Fjalar then Miaya..."
Speaking to Scrimge, Cassae says, "Just clarification
when some of say we won't step into the landing (except for ooc meetings) we
literally mean the town.  All the land
around it is fair game.  Abandonned Inn,
caravansary, graveyards etc. And promise all I am going to rattle on about it
this meeting."
Talryssa raises her hand.
Speaking to Cassae, Scrimge says, "I understand, sorry
you weren't able to be at the Cleric thing. 
Unfortunately, the location was a bit needed to tie the 319 spell
release into the current storyline this time around."
Scrimge says, "But I do hear you."
Scrimge exclaims, "Fjalar!"
Speaking to Scrimge, Fjalar asks, "When you say that
you have certain towns, what does that mean as far as NPC's like Prince Eregrek,
Clan Leader Griva, etc etc?"
Fjalar asks, "Will plat be getting new town leaders
NPCs for those towns, or are there any plans to revive existing NPC's and do
more with them?"
Speaking to Fjalar, Scrimge says, "It means in regard
to general storylines happening in those towns/regions."
Scrimge says, "So it als involves their leaders,
yes."
Fjalar asks, "The existing ones, or a chance to do
something storyline wise to create new NPC's for the current staff to make
their own?"
Scrimge says, "As far as new leaders, it's
situational."
Fjalar says, "It's been years since most of them have
been seen in plat, that's why I ask."
Scrimge says, "And yes, there's a chance to do new
NPCs, certainly."
Scrimge says, "Okay and Miaya."
Miaya softly says, "Okay I have two things."
Miaya softly asks, "What about the plat and prime point
conversion?"
Miaya softly says, "When will that happen."
Scrimge says, "Ah, yes. 
I asked about that as well."
Miaya softly says, "It's been talked about and promised
and talked about and promised and we are still waiting."
Scrimge says, "So, I asked Wyrom about that, since he's
the big man on campus now."
Miaya softly says, "The second thing I know I have
bitched plenty tonight so some positive feedback now from me."
Miaya recites softly:
"I have given
my bitching now let me give you the pluses, the Gm that has been interacting
with familiars and  companions bravo,
it's been a blast to see and interact with. 
The GM's that have been interacting with the new victims em I mean
players that have joined like Chakar great job I applaud you for that.  The player and the rest of us that knew about
it or heard about it thought it was great. I already commented on the bandits
but I again will reiterate we LOVE this kind of stuff, it's the reason most of
us are still here"
Scrimge says, "The point conversion was still being
tested still last we heard, and he planned to follow up with Dev on its
status."
Scrimge says, "So, there's not really much to report as
far as point conversion goes, unfortunately."
Scrimge says, "I do plan to keep you updated as I learn
more though."
Scrimge says, "And, I love you guys too."
Scrimge says, "That's why I'm here, regardless of the
tough love you guys show me sometimes."
Miaya softly says, "Well thanks to those of you that
have been playing around with us it has really been enjoyable even if it is for
short periods."
Scrimge says, "I do take the feedback to heart."
Scrimge says, "Let's see..."
Scrimge exclaims, "The Mayor raised her hand!"
Scrimge points at Talryssa.
Talryssa quietly says, "From the hot seat, in regards
to mayors...."
Talryssa quietly says, "It seems to be a really
lukewarm thing, for several reasons."
Talryssa quietly says, "One of them, being the
players."
Talryssa quietly says, "Several times I've tried to
spark up Mayoral RP, get people involved in stuff, and it was met with
disinterest."
Dandi says, "It's true. People seem to hate landing
therefore they don't want to help make it better."
Talryssa quietly says, "But... there's also somethings
that might could come from the GMs. I know there might be some who claim
favoritism and all, but when a CHARACTER comes into the Landing and threatens
it in front of the mayor."
Talryssa quietly says, "The mayor SHOULD have some sort
of ability to take action."
Talryssa quietly says, "If there is something that
neads to be improved, the mayor should be able to turn things in that
direction."
Talryssa quietly says, "For instance."
Speaking to Talryssa, Cassae says, "Y Valid point.  Now I have never done that it town, but
Cassae would expect connsequnce if she did."
Talryssa quietly says, "Today's story, with the dead
bodies, I'd lvoe to do something that would be a benefit to the families of
those who lost people."
Lyradie says, "I agree. At least call a guard over. It
only makes sense if the title is given, the RP makes little sense without
it."
Talryssa quietly asks, "But... how does that even
happen, that I can get other peoplve involved and isn't just behind the scenes
stuff?"
Speaking to Talryssa, Fjalar says, "Or you know...put a
hinge on the damned gate so it can close during an invasion."
Mythrak says, "The Mayor should be able to turn off
town justice. Then the friendly 
neighbourhood sorcerer can just explode whoever said
"boo"."
Cassae says, "I agree that would be a nice perk of
office."
Talryssa quietly says, "That's an idea, but it leaves
open some vast opoortunity for favoritism."
Scrimge says, "Well, I do agree that being the Mayor
should have certain privleges and powers. 
I'm not against exploring those options."
Scrimge says, "True, but they did vote you into office
as players."
Miaya softly says, "Oh, and when we have these mini
invasions and what not the mayor should be able to pardon someone that murdered
someone accidently."
Scrimge agrees with Miaya.
Scrimge says, "From an IC perspective, Taly should be
able to banish or pardon people with her office."
Talryssa quietly says, "Yes."
Talryssa quietly says, "Of course, I think it should
have limitiers."
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Miaya says, "I don't think
players would abuse something like that, it just makes sense and if they do
then you take their ability to do these things away and call for a
re-election."
Talryssa quietly says, "Send an email to you, Scrimge,
and let you review it."
Speaking to Talryssa, Cassae says, "A banish for a day
would hurt no one."
Scrimge says, "So, what I'm willing to do for now,
you're always welcome to e-mail myself and Hivala, and you know. RP it up like
you're writting to the Council of the Landing who serves under you."
Scrimge says, "That way if you have something you want
changed or done as Mayor, one of us can get it happening in some degree IC to
make the office a bit more 'real'."
Scrimge asks, "And make it less... luke-warm?"
Fjalar asks, "So...if bandits are assualting the
landing, she could say...hire some mercenaries to defend it?"
Speaking to Talryssa, Scrimge says, "Yeah, we just have
to strike a balance as well though."
Scrimge says, "But I'm not opposed to bouncing ideas
around off of Wyrom."
Scrimge says, "And Tamuz."
Scrimge asks, "Okay, any other hands?"
Scrimge glances around the room.
Chakar raises his hand.
Scrimge points at Chakar.
Scrimge cocks his head at Chakar.
Chakar asks, "So, obviously I'm new to Plat, returning
after quite a while..been reading up on Clerics since I've been back and I've
heard about Orisons...is there any news to be had about that?"
Speaking to Chakar, Lyradie says, "That's probably
something to ask on the cleric boards."
Speaking to Chakar, Lyradie says, "Scrimge doesn't
really have anything to do with clerics."
Chakar nods at Lyradie.
Scrimge says, "Orisons."
Scrimge says, "No... not really."
Scrimge says, "That'd fall under the Dev field, which
is this mysterious world beyond my control and knowledge."
Chakar nods at Scrimge.
Speaking to Chakar, Scrimge says, "So, your best bet is
to post on the forums under the cleric folder, and Estild is the guy who would
know."
Scrimge says, "He's the Dev GM over Cleric mechanics,
who just released spell 319."
Scrimge says, "RSN = Regional Support Network in my
line of work, so I always found it amusing 2x."
Lyradie raises her hand.
Speaking to Lyradie, Scrimge says, "Shoot."
Lyradie says, "Just one last plea for a summer or
spring trials humongous push. We're dying out here. Attrition is harsh."
Miaya innocently says, "So what happened to the whore
house for Rivers rest."
Scrimge nods at Lyradie.
Sot says, "Double what Lyradie said, lets get the
population up."
Scrimge says, "We did trials this last spring, but
yeah, I definitely plan to keep that up, and hopefully we can time it with a
good free festival."
Scrimge says, "Or something fun."
Scrimge recites:
"Okay, meeting
adjourned you crazy people!"   
==Full Log==
Scrimge says, "So, I don't have a huge amount on the agenda tonight."
Mirrami gives Jornaal a friendly hug.
Mirrami grins at Vaein.
Vanwen smiles.
Jornaal pours himself a snifter of dark cherry brandy.
Miaya pours herself a shot of well aged whiskey.
Mirrami squints at Jornaal.
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.
Mythrak says, "I agree. People whose names start with R rock."
Glurph ponders.
Anatae waves her hand in a dismissive gesture.
(Mythrak might have another character. Maybe.)
Jornaal grins at Mirrami.
Scrimge says, "But I would like to announce one upcoming event Platinum only event."
Miaya takes a drink from her well aged whiskey.
Lines of worry smooth, and she visibly relaxes.
Mirrami mutters something about brandy.
Mirrami plops down to the ground in a sitting position.
Scrimge pauses for dramatic effect.
Talryssa quietly says, "You have my attention."
Scrimge snickers.
Vanwen tilts her head toward Scrimge, examining him intently as the tip of one ear twitches briefly.
Jornaal offers Mirrami a snifter of dark cherry brandy.
Anatae leans forward.
Miaya carefully pours a little bit of liquid from her well aged whiskey into the very dark coffee.
Miaya takes a drink from her very dark coffee.
Mirrami vigorously shakes her head at Jornaal.
Mirrami declines Jornaal's offer.
Miaya takes a drink from her very dark coffee.
She emits a deep, contented sigh.
Aulis flings himself at Keios, but he misses by a wide margin.
Philnia takes a drink from her well aged whiskey.
Lines of worry smooth, and she visibly relaxes.
Keios squints at Aulis.
Vanwen smiles.
Scrimge asks, "How about a small auction, on New Year's Eve here in my office?"
Mirrami pinches Philnia!
Dandi's dragonfly saewehna, which is set against her forehead, dims and then suddenly brightens again as silver sparks swirl within the gem.
Scrimge flashes a wide grin.
Philnia stares at Mirrami.
Aulis snuggles up to Keios, resting his head on her shoulder.
Keios leans on Aulis.
Fjalar glances over at Scrimge and winces.
Miaya raises an eyebrow in Scrimge's direction.
Vorks turns to Scrimge and cheers!
Anatae ponders.
Speaking to Aulis, Keios says, "You're going to make Liia jealous."
Miaya takes a drink from her very dark coffee.
She emits a deep, contented sigh.
Mirrami says, "Didn't see you there."
Speaking to Scrimge, Aulis exclaims, "I bid 2 silvers!"
Mirrami leans softly against Philnia.
>l kei
The pink mistvein ruby on Anatae's forehead dims, then suddenly brightens in a luminous plume of tiny silver and pale pink sparks that radiate out from her eyes in a feather-like pattern.
You see GameMaster Keios the Android.
She appears to be a KEI-OS Model 000001.
She is petite and appears to be young and untried.  She has emotionless crystalline blue optics for eyes and is covered in a pale flesh-toned metallic skin.  She has knee length, icy blue hair flowing from under a heavy metal visor in perfectly straight silken strands.  She has an unnaturally symmetrical face, a sculpted pointed nose and a small status monitor inset in the nape of her neck.  A small trickle of bluish red blood trails from a small wound in her temple where a data cable has been forcibly entered into a subdermal uplink.  The cable appears to snake out of existence after a few feet.
She has a small black barcode stenciled onto her upper left arm.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a heavy metal visor that partially obscures her eyes, a flowing backless tunic made of transparent white silk over a low-cut articulated white cuirass attached to an intricately detailed throat guard, and some high-heeled white boots clasped at ankle, mid-thigh, and upper-thigh with cinched metal cording.
Vaein glances at Keios.
Anatae says, "But I'm busy getting new year kisses then."
Speaking to Fjalar, Scrimge says, "Don't hurt yourself there..."
Zakken says, "Only if the bids are 1 coin at a time..and the max bid is say...5000 coins."
Scrimge grins.
Zakken chuckles.
Speaking to Scrimge, Vorks exclaims, "I've always wanted your office!"
>wav kei
You wave to Keios.
Speaking to Mirrami, Philnia says, "First day back."
Keios nods to you in greeting.
Fjalar says, "On a completely unrelated note, I'm giving new year's kisses then."
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Miaya says, "What kind of auction."
Speaking to Scrimge, Glurph says, "You'll need a tiny auctioneer to see me bidding from the gutter."
Sot says, "I'm always up for an auction."
Retser snickers at Fjalar.
Scrimge begins chuckling at Fjalar!
Mirrami grins at Philnia.
Anatae chuckles.
Philnia puckers her lips.
Jornaal chuckles.
Vanwen says, "I haven't recovered from EG enough to think about it."
Lyradie says, "Auctions are a little cutthroat for a New Year's Eve celebration. Meaning, I'll cut someone."
Talryssa quietly says, "Personally, I don't get excited about auctions."
Scrimge says, "I'm in the process of coming up with a list for approvals, and to get into QC."
Talryssa quietly says, "Cause... folks have deep pockets."
Talryssa quietly says, "I don't."
Talryssa grins.
Cassae becomes solid again.
Dandi agrees with Talryssa.
Fjalar asks, "Mayor's office up for sale?"
Zakken agrees with Talryssa.
Scrimge says, "But, I wanted to ask for ideas you'd all like to see at said auction."
The silvery luminescence fades from around Vaein.
Lyradie grins at Fjalar.
Speaking to Talryssa, Glurph exclaims, "Accept more bribes!"
Speaking quietly to Fjalar, Talryssa asks, "Maybe. What's the offer?"
Speaking to Talryssa, Aulis says, "Sauli is going to bid on that office..."
Scrimge says, "Not promising anything, but yes."
Zakken says, "I doubt I'd even show up for an auction if it's using silvers."
The bright luminescence fades from around Vaein.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around Vaein.
Fjalar asks, "Token or silvers?"
Vanwen says, "Will it be a token type auction or a..."
Scrimge says, "Silvers was the plan."
Anatae says, "Unlimited flask."
The glowing specks of energy surrounding Vaein suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
Speaking to Scrimge, Keios asks, "I suppose putting Wyrom up for auction again is off the table?"
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.
Speaking softly to Talryssa, Miaya says, "Only one has deep pockets and if he is here  Scrimage can just hand it all over to him."
Aulis grins at Keios.
Vaein seems a bit less imposing.
Jornaal leans on Keios, giving her a companionable grin.
Anatae takes a drink from her oak-aged red icewine.
Scrimge says, "I'm not opposed to a token system perhaps, but I wasn't indending it to rival Ebon Gate auctions or anything."
Speaking to Keios, Jornaal asks, "Will you be up for auction?"
Philnia asks, "Bidding on people?"
Philnia chuckles.
Scrimge chuckles.
 * Frengle returns home from a hard day of adventuring.
 * Frengle returns home from a hard day of adventuring.
Anatae says, "That could get pricey."
Speaking to Keios, Fjalar says, "I don't see why it would be, 15 minute alter sessions have been done before."
Anatae tickles Philnia into laughing.
Scrimge says, "Wyrom's only worth 10mil in Prime."
Scrimge waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.
Scrimge grins wryly.
Sot laughs!
Speaking to Jornaal, Keios says, "I am not programmed to be auctioned."
Lyradie says, "Honestly, a silver auction would leave half of th eplayers with a pretty bad taste in their mouths for the neew year."
Mythrak says, "It's like the service auction, but you get a GM for a day."
Zakken says, "Well, the have nots will want tokens, the haves will want silvers.  So you're going to get both answers."
Miaya softly exclaims, "He's worth more in plat!"
Keios grins at Scrimge.
Speaking to Anatae, Philnia says, "I'd not get bid on, Vaein's your big money maker, go with him."
Fjalar says, "Especially with silvers recharging right around the corner."
Anatae laughs!
Lyradie says, "And my keyboard is acting up."
Lyradie gibbers incoherently.
Anatae says, "So true."
Glurph removes a perfect maoral-hilted eonake short-sword from in his brown woolen coat.
Anatae agrees with Philnia.
Vanwen grins.
Glurph offers Vaein a perfect maoral-hilted eonake short-sword.
Vaein accepts Glurph's eonake short-sword.
Vaein put a perfect maoral-hilted eonake short-sword in his black leather longcoat.
Scrimge raises an eyebrow.
Glurph hoots.
Anatae says, "The bank would empty for a day of dragging him around."
Speaking to Philnia, Jornaal says, "I'd big 100k on you."
Jornaal nods at Philnia.
Tanderick becomes solid again.
Vanwen rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Fjalar says, "I'd love to get a splitting weapon."
Speaking to Scrimge, Vorks asks, "Are you going to post a thread on the forums?  We can toss some ideas there?"
Fjalar says, "Spent entirely too much trying to win one at the EG games."
Anatae says, "Or reddit."
Glurph ponders.
Speaking sarcastically to Jornaal, Philnia says, "Oh my heart flutters."
Caprolkian appears to have sobered up.
Caprolkian says, "No reddit. We have a forums."
Retser says, "How about, Half Auction, Half Raffle."
Scrimge says, "I can certainly do that if you like."
Vaein says, "Yeah, I wish we could get away from the reddit stuff."
Retser says, "Limit 1 win from each."
Talryssa's deep azure blazestar, which is set against her forehead, dims and then suddenly brightens again as silver sparks swirl within the gem.
Dandi agrees with Caprolkian.
Vaein says, "Twitter too."
Lyradie nods in agreement at Vaein.
Vorks points at Retser.
Caprolkian says, "It might be antiquated, but it's at least Simu."
Anatae chuckles.
Vorks gruffly says, "Smart guy."
Fjalar says, "I'd prefer the token system to a raffle if there's a choice."
Anatae says, "We like oldschool."
Fjalar says, "Tokens were fun."
Scrimge says, "I tend to announce my merchants on twitter a few minutes earlier than in game, just saying."
Scrimge coughs.
Lyradie says, "Please start at least cross-posting the Reddit to the official Plat boards. I don't Reddit."
Vaein says, "Yeah thats what needs to stop."
Caprolkian says, "Yes, we're aware. And it's a horrible policy."
Speaking to Jornaal, Mirrami says, "100k?  Too steep for my blood."
Jornaal begins chuckling at Mirrami!
>'::fjal With legal pot spreading, there's a lot of tokin' systems these days.
Speaking to Fjalar, you say, "With legal pot spreading, there's a lot of tokin' systems these days."
Speaking sarcastically to Mirrami, Philnia says, "Love you too dear."
The dragonfly saewehna on Dandi's forehead dims drastically as a cloud of darkness roils deep within the gem.  After a moment, it fades, returning to its normal state.
Scrimge asks, "The twitter stuff?"
Scrimge peers quizzically at Caprolkian.
Vaein says, "Yes."
Caprolkian says, "Yes. Any social media."
Speaking quietly to Scrimge, Talryssa says, "I dislike this policy. The twitter or reddit stuff."
Talryssa quietly says, "I don't use either of those."
Mirrami giggles at Philnia.
Speaking to Philnia, Mirrami says, "What?  I'm broke."
Anatae's ghostly mara tattoo shifts about restlessly.
Scrimge chuckles.
Deep blue motes swirl away from Miaya and fade.
Scrimge says, "Cheerful group tonight."
Anatae says, "I can find reddit but I won't post on it."
Anatae shrugs.
Talryssa quietly says, "And I feel it requires anyone to use outside sources in order to not lose an advantage."
Anatae takes a drink from her oak-aged red icewine.
Caprolkian says, "You are making OOC choices have IC benefits."
Rienji asks, "What is reddit?"
Speaking quietly to Scrimge, Talryssa says, "Just personal feelings."
Lyradie says, "If any of us were new-school we'd be playing graphical games."
Speaking to Mirrami, Philnia says, "You have me, therefore you are not broken. You are enriched beyond belief."
Lyradie ducks her head.
Mirrami beams happily at Philnia!
Anatae begins chuckling at Lyradie!
Tanderick points at Lyradie.
Philnia takes a drink from her well aged whiskey.
Miaya softly says, "I think the cheerfulness comes from us wondering what else or what is next that we will have to pay for."
Speaking to Rienji, Fjalar says, "It's where all those naked celebrity pictures were leaked."
Caprolkian nods at Miaya.
Rienji says, "Ah."
Speaking to Rienji, Fjalar says, "At least that's what Scrimge told me."
Scrimge says, "The forums are just as OOC as reddit or twitter, and I'm all for any kind of social media that promotes the game.  That's why I'm a big advocate for that stuff."
Speaking to Fjalar, Retser exclaims, "I know that place!"
Speaking to Fjalar, Rienji says, "Guess the wife blocked those."
Anatae says, "I'm sure we appreciate trying to spread GS love other places, just more familiar with the boards and too much stuff to check when twitter and such are added."
Vaein says, "Even if that is the case, there is no reason to announce on Twitter BEFORE doing it in game. You don't even do it at the same time. It is a straight benefit to following your personal twitter feed."
Caprolkian says, "Except the forums are this games, policed by this game, and under this game's policy. Much of the storyline in prime is done on the forums."
Scrimge says, "And everyone has access to those avenues as well, so it doesn't give anyone an unfair advantage."
Philnia works her fingers under her woven circlet and scratches her head.
Vanwen says, "I am a big fan of using the calendar myself."
Vanwen says, "I like days not hours of notice."
Lyradie says, "We're just saying, we don't want to have to go to three different places to see what you're saying about the game we subscribe to. The forums come with our subscription, that's all."
Vanwen chuckles.
Caprolkian says, "If it didn't give people an advantage, you wouldn't tell us that it's advantagious to follow you."
Vaein nods at Caprolkian.
Fjalar says, "I think the biggest thing is don't use those things at the expense of not posting on the boards or in game."
Lyradie says, "Cross-posting's fine. Once-posting on Reddit's weird."
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.
Philnia says, "Oh...."
Sot says, "Twitter is a little more real-time which is I think why it is used. Forums is a little low-tech."
Philnia says, "Social media sucks and should die in a fire."
Scrimge says, "I don't think I've posted any merchant info on reddit yet though."
Dandi says, "I personally work in Social Media, and I really don't want to have to use it for my games as well."
Scrimge shrugs.
Fjalar says, "Some of the concern comes from when you posted that you were doing work at EG on Reddit and not on the boards or anything."
Mirrami frowns at Philnia.
Fjalar says, "You did, during EG."
Speaking to Philnia, Mythrak says, "Ahh. I knew I liked you for a reason."
Vaein nods at Fjalar.
Mythrak nods at Philnia.
Anatae pours herself a chalice of oak-aged red icewine.
Mirrami tries to pinch Philnia, but she leans away just in time.
Scrimge says, "Anyhow, we're getting off topic."
Fjalar nods at Scrimge.
Anatae takes a drink from her oak-aged red icewine.
Anatae looks rather relaxed.
Scrimge says, "Social media isn't going to go away."
Scrimge says, "Sorry."
Speaking to Mirrami, Philnia says, "Facebook and twitter."
Scrimge says, "However."
Talryssa just left.
Caprolkian says, "Your choice to use it could."
The dim aura fades from around Dandi.
Vaein gets a blank look on his face.
Caprolkian asks, "Or is "Sorry" your official answer?"
Lyradie says, "No, but this is an OOC concern for our OOC meeting, so it's on topic."
Lyradie shrugs.
Mayor Talryssa just arrived.
Talryssa quietly says, "Sorry."
Rienji's scorpion tattoo suddenly emerges from underneath his black leather backpack and wanders over to his finger before settling down.
Talryssa quietly says, "Yes, you're right, social media isn't going to go away."
Talryssa quietly says, "But..."
Scrimge says, "I'd love to hear what you guys are interested in for the upcoming auction, and feedback on how it's distributed is good too."
Vanwen rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Talryssa quietly says, "Why do twitter or reddit users get special advantage over non-users? Do both."
Fjalar grunts gleefully, rubbing his hands together!
Vanwen asks, "You know what I need?"
Retser smooches Keios on the cheek.
Philnia asks, "Is this a mass auction?"
Talryssa quietly says, "Announce in game at the same time."
Dandi says, "Not interested. No money."
Vanwen peers quizzically at Scrimge.
Dandi folds her arms over her chest.
Anatae asks, "Fun RP items?"
Caprolkian asks, "That's great, but about the other subject several people were talking about?"
The deep blue glow leaves Vaein.
The light blue glow leaves Vaein.
Vanwen says, "Fusion orbs for my bow."
Vanwen grumbles.
Vanwen says, "It's empty."
Scrimge says, "Do keep in mind, I've never once merchanted in Plat yet where I didn't get to work for everyone who showed up."
Speaking to Vanwen, Fjalar says, "Excellent suggestion.  Fusion orbs with decent enhancives like those found in the treaure feeder for a time would be great."
Caprolkian says, "You're right. Yet."
Speaking softly to Vanwen, Miaya says, "Check the shops bunch in there."
Vaein seems to lose some internal strength.
Fjalar says, "Orbs without restrictions and whatnot too."
Talryssa nods.
Caprolkian says, "But there is no reason to have an advantage for following your personal twitter or reddit feed."
Talryssa quietly says, "Okay, that's a valid point."
Speaking to Caprolkian, Scrimge says, "I disagree with you entirely.  Let's let it go at that."
Caprolkian nods.
Scrimge smiles.
 * Hulp joins the adventure.
 * Hulp joins the adventure.
Caprolkian says, "And your word is law."
Speaking to Miaya, Lyradie says, "High prices."
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.
Vaein says, "I agree with Cap, and disagree with you entirely, Scrimge."
Speaking to Vaein, Caprolkian says, "We are just customers, what do we know."
Caprolkian says, "Well, if 'Go screw yourself' is going to be your offical answer, I've got what I needed."
Caprolkian says, "Thanks."
Caprolkian just left.
 * Caprolkian returns home from a hard day of adventuring.
 * Caprolkian returns home from a hard day of adventuring.
Scrimge gets a blank look on his face.
Fjalar stares off into space.
Jani softly says, "Umm.  Maybe this discussion could be a fruitful and friendly one on the official boards?  I find it interesting that we're being asked for auction ideas."
Lyradie says, "I agree with Vaein and Cap. I subscribe to GS. I shouldn't also have to subscribe to Reddit and Twitter. Although I do have a Twitter account."
Philnia raises an eyebrow.
Lyradie shrugs.
Scrimge says, "Well then, I hope nobody else felt like I said that to them."
Dandi says, "And that's how you lose a customer for good."
Fjalar says, "Nope."
Dandi folds her arms over her chest.
Vaein shakes his head.
Vorks looks over at Scrimge and shakes his head.
Scrimge says, "I'm answering honestly here, not trying to argue."
Vaein says, "You just tried to sweep away a valid concern some of us have."
Anatae takes a drink from her oak-aged red icewine.
Anatae looks rather relaxed.
Speaking to Vaein, Scrimge says, "That's not what I was trying to do at all, I hear you guys loud and clear."
Speaking to Scrimge, Vorks asks, "You ok with us taking the social media topic to a forum post?"
Scrimge says, "Just because I don't agree doesn't mean I'm not listening and willing to adapt in some ways."
Dandi raises her hand.
Speaking to Vorks, Scrimge says, "Sure, as long as it's constructive."
Dandi asks, "You just stated it wasn't going away however?"
Speaking quietly to Scrimge, Talryssa says, "I'm glad to hear you say that. I didn't think you felt that way based on your response. Definitely good to hear."
Lyradie says, "You pretty much said move along now, off topic. So, alrighty."
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Miaya asks, "So what's this "auction going to cost?"
Vorks nods at Scrimge.
Dandi says, "So it didn't feel like you weren't going adapt in anyway."
Vanwen says, "It doesn't have to go away I'd think."
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.
Vanwen says, "It just should not be the only method."
Scrimge says, "I'm not going to stop using Twitter and Reddit to promote Gemstone IV.  If that's what you guys are asking."
Scrimge says, "So, let's move on."
Dandi says, "It doesn't have to, but the statement felt like there was no adaptation happening."
Lyradie shakes her head.
A delicate silver filigree pattern swirls briefly within a cabochon of deep azure blazestar set against Talryssa's forehead.
Zakken says, "I think everyone is fine with promoting, but not so fine with in game events being announced there before in game.  I think thats the only real concern."
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Miaya asks, "May I make a suggestion?"
Anatae agrees with Zakken.
Hulp [quiet]: "Hulp be hunting barn wraiths near Mule south gate."
Jani takes a drink from her well aged whiskey.
She emits a deep, contented sigh.
Scrimge says, "Certainly."
Vaein says, "I don't understand how you cannot see that announcing stuff OUT OF GAME ON YOUR PERSONAL FEED, before you even give the people currently PLAYING the game a chance isn't wrong."
Speaking to Scrimge, Vorks asks, "Auction: Can you give us an idea of what range of items?  Are we going very high end to low end?  Or staying more middle focused?"
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Miaya says, "Why don't you say all you wish to say we can all shut up and then address what you have said."
Scrimge says, "I'm not against giving people a heads up on the officials as well.  I think I've tweeted a total of 1-2 events a minute or two before they were announced in game or on the forums.  And nothing has ever been announced on reddit beforehand."
Anatae's ghostly mara tattoo seems to survey the area for a time before rolling its eyes.
Scrimge begins chuckling at Miaya!
Speaking to Miaya, Scrimge asks, "Because that's what I keep you around for?"
Scrimge grins.
Philnia scratches her nose.
Lyradie says, "Auction item idea: That enhancive hiding pin."
Miaya leans softly against Halgur.
Anatae chuckles.
Retser leans on Halgur, giving him a companionable grin.
Speaking to Lyradie, Aulis exclaims, "I'll take nine ofthem!"
Zakken chuckles.
Speaking softly to Lyradie, Miaya says, "Maybe we could have that for our 15 year anniversery."
Speaking to Aulis, Lyradie says, "I'll outbid you."
Lyradie sticks her tongue out at Aulis, and lets out with a loud, "Thbtbtbtbt" from her lips!
Anatae asks, "Are race changes doable?"
Lyradie nods at Miaya.
Scrimge says, "Yes, auction items.  I'd like to have a small amount of nicer items, and mostly middle tier stuff.  GM Haliste also may allow us to auction off the title to a property."
Lyradie says, "That too."
Mirrami frowns at Anatae.
Scrimge says, "I was hoping for some excitment on the auction thinger, I loved them as a player."
Anatae flashes a quick grin.
Scrimge chuckles.
Vorks nods at Scrimge.
Fjalar nods at Scrimge.
Speaking to Mirrami, Anatae says, "To have someone become sylvan."
The powerful look leaves Jornaal.
Scrimge says, "But I do understand the concerns, certainly."
Zakken says, "Acutions I have a chance of being a part of, sure I love those."
Zakken chuckles.
Zakken says, "But if it's silver based, I"m right out."
Anatae says, "The timing is a bit iffy for alot of people to be honest."
Zakken shrugs.
Philnia peers quizzically at Anatae.
Lyradie appears to be checking her pockets for something, but finds them empty.
Fjalar says, "Definitely low on funds after all the events this year."
Speaking to Anatae, Mirrami says, "Ooooh.  Well that makes a lot more sense.  Who wouldn't wanna be sylvan."
Vanwen says, "I want a pin that works like armor concealors but without the restrictions of armor concealors."
Anatae agrees with Mirrami.
Vanwen rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Sot says, "I was hoping we'd get an auction.  Haven't been to one in years."
Zakken says, "Plus, I'm pretty sure I work new years night."
Fjalar nods at Anatae.
Speaking to Mirrami, Philnia asks, "Me?"
Dandi says, "Its hard to be excited about auctions when the bulk of things get purchased by a couple people."
Rienji says, "Disk changy thing would be something I would likes."
Speaking to Scrimge, Glurph says, "I'm excited. I got distracted thinking about ideas."
Anatae pinches Philnia!
Mirrami pinches Philnia!
Philnia says, "Ow."
Speaking to Scrimge, Vorks asks, "Any chance we'll get certificates for 'servces'?  Or only straight up items?"
Zakken says, "Yep I do."
Dandi says, "If say they was a limit to what you could bid on, then it might be more fun."
Zakken sighs.
Rienji says, "Those at Ebon gate were nice, like to see more of them."
Hulp just arrived.
Scrimge says, "So, I head weapon-splitter, armor concealors..."
Speaking quietly to Scrimge, Talryssa says, "I'm sure there are some people who like auctions, but... well, Dandi kind of said it. I don't want to spoil that though for people who can afford it."
Vanwen says, "Pre approved verbs."
Dandi says, "Cause then I'd feel like I have a chance at something."
Hulp put a silver-sheened transport ticket in her cloth knapsack.
Lyradie says, "Enhancive hiding pin."
Fjalar says, "Almost all auctions have been a limit of one purchase, so that's not really accurate Dandi."
Scrimge nods at Dandi.
Hulp slings a lacquered grey orase buckler over her shoulder.
Dandi says, "I've never seen a limit here."
Scrimge says, "Yes, I'm all for putting some limits in place, so that the loot gets shared."
Philnia pouts at Anatae.
Philnia pouts at Mirrami.
Anatae flashes a quick grin.
Mirrami rubs Philnia tenderly.
Aulis exclaims, "Share ALL THE LEWT!"
Speaking quietly to Scrimge, Talryssa says, "However, I like that you're willing to do a 1 per thing. That would be great."
Talryssa grins at Aulis.
Scrimge says, "PHAT LEWT."
Speaking to Dandi, Vorks says, "Only one win a person at auctions, so everyone gets something."
Lyradie nods in agreement at Talryssa.
Scrimge nods at Talryssa.
Vorks gruffly says, "Usually*."
Fjalar nods at Vorks.
Scrimge says, "Of coruse."
Rienji's scorpion tattoo seems to grow increasingly more restless as it mills about.  Finally, it gathers itself and wanders over to his head before settling down.
Dandi agrees with Vorks.
Scrimge says, "Course."
Dandi says, "Then that would be fine."
Talryssa's deep azure blazestar pulses against her forehead, sending silver and dark azure sparks dancing around her lashes.
Zakken says, "Well, one per would only work if there is enough items for everyone to win one."
Zakken chuckles.
Vaein says, "I think as long as there are enough items for everyone and tokens it'll go over really well."
Dandi says, "Also true."
Anatae nods.
Tanderick points at Vaein.
Scrimge grins.
Speaking to Zakken, Jornaal says, "There has been in the past."
Tanderick says, "What Vaein said."
Hulp says, "Make fewer iron boxies."
Dandi says, "I'd go for fluff, so no one really has to worry about that."
Hulp ducks her head.
Talryssa quietly says, "Might I suggest too, that we have a pre-list too, on what's bein gauctioned, so that we don't have any sour at their 1 win when something they could have wanted more comes along."
Vanwen says, "Enhansive orbs would be great."
Anatae says, "I've seen players be very generous at auctions."
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.
Speaking to Vaein, Philnia says, "I don't do auctions."
Fjalar says, "It's been that way even at the one auction I've seen with fewer items than people attending...still could only buy one item."
Scrimge nods at Talryssa.
Anatae says, "Would be suprised how cheap I got my disk knowledge enhancive."
Speaking to Scrimge, Mirrami asks, "How about language translators?"
Speaking quietly to Dandi, Talryssa says, "You need 2 fluffs though, because one would make you to oheavy one one side and ... well.. You weeble and you wobble but you don't fall down."
Hulp sits down.
Dandi hugs Talryssa, who wraps her in a warm embrace.
Lyradie says, "What kind of mid-level type mid-level are you looking at though? It may be hard to wrest any cash out of the deep pockets with mid-level stuff."
Cassae curls her lip at Dandi, her face contorting in a disdainful smirk.
Miaya recites softly:
    "You know all this talk of auctions and new years is all fine and dandy and I for one very much the little storyline that has been happening with bandits but there are some serious questions many of us have as to what why and how much it's going to cost a group of subscribers that have been loyal and have asked repeatedly about things yet we never get answers or the answers we get is we are working on it....4 years later we are still waiting"
Hulp pours herself a chalice of oak-aged red icewine.
Rienji seems to lose some dexterity.
The air about Rienji stops shimmering.
Mirrami says, "I want more people to understand sylvan.  I may be biased."
The smell of the sea and the soft call of gulls can be heard as Jornaal chants softly.
Jornaal gestures.
The magic fizzles ineffectually.
Mirrami ducks her head.
Jani pours herself a shot of well aged whiskey.
Anatae takes a drink from her oak-aged red icewine.

Vanwen grins at Mirrami.
Anatae nods in agreement at Mirrami.
Vorks grins at Mirrami.
Speaking to Mirrami, Rienji says, "Ye biased."
Speaking softly to Zakken, Jani says, "I was right to sit by the whiskey."
Talryssa grins at Jornaal.
Speaking to Mirrami, Aulis says, "We're going to auction off pretty female sylvan translators."
Speaking to Mirrami, Philnia says, "Honestly, we're not the powerhouse we used to be."
Zakken begins chuckling at Jani!
Dandi beams happily at Cassae!
Glurph nods at Philnia.
Jani takes a drink from her well aged whiskey.
She emits a deep, contented sigh.
Speaking to Philnia, Glurph exclaims, "Never again!"
Scrimge says, "I'll open for questions here in a bit guys, I know some of you have concerns."
Speaking to Jani, Zakken asks, "Need me to hold one for you too?"
Glurph raises his fist defiantly.
Zakken grins at Jani.
Speaking quietly to Aulis, Talryssa exclaims, "I didn't know Caithris was for auction!"
Hulp takes a drink from her oak-aged red icewine.
Hulp looks rather relaxed.
Mythrak says, "Yeah, who cares about Sylphs anymore? There's so 2011."
Miaya softly says, "Perhaps I am wrong but seems what many ooc discussions have been about."
Speaking to Aulis, Mirrami says, "I'll take three."
Speaking to Glurph, Philnia says, "Keep telling yourself that."
Jani pours herself a shot of well aged whiskey.
Jani offers Zakken a shot of well aged whiskey.
Anatae rubs Philnia tenderly.

Hulp takes a drink from her oak-aged red icewine.
Hulp looks rather relaxed.
Scrimge says, "Okay, well.  I've heard some good feedback on the auction.  I'll try to plan accordingly and keep it as fair as we can."
Zakken nods at Scrimge.
Speaking softly to Zakken, Jani says, "Drink it.  This will all be so much better."
Fjalar asks, "Are you looking for mostly scripted items or weapons/armor too?"
Zakken glances at Jani.
Hulp takes a drink from her oak-aged red icewine.
Hulp looks rather relaxed.
Fjalar removes a veniom-edged toy gnome smith bank from in his miner's backpack.
Scrimge says, "It isn't going to be to the scale of EG though, that's not the plan.  I just wanted us to have something fun that Prime didn't get."
Jornaal nods at Talryssa.
Scrimge flashes a wide grin.
Dandi stares at Fjalar.
Fjalar says, "Could always do another toy bank."
Vanwen says, "A Naela gown."
Speaking to Jani, Zakken asks, "I work with things that can explode constantly.  Are you really sure you want me drunk?"

Vanwen says, "I've always thought those were nice."
Dandi roars at Fjalar!
Vanwen rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Dandi folds her arms over her chest.
Lyradie asks, "So Scrimge, how is our anniversary gift coming along? Or will it now be 16 spaces for our 16 year anniversary?"
Lyradie chuckles.
Fjalar says, "Not as useful as I'd hoped, kind of slow putting the silvers in before you can send them to a bank."
Vanwen grins.
Speaking to Scrimge, Zakken says, "I'd really like to see more neat items that add to RP, but is not all about mechanics."
Zakken removes a rhimar-edged carving knife from in his steel-plated case.
Zakken shows Scrimge his carving knife.
Zakken says, "Like this."
Zakken nods at Scrimge.
Talryssa quietly says, "I agree, and I think a large percent of people do as well."
Zakken put a rhimar-edged carving knife in his steel-plated case.
Speaking to Fjalar, Dandi exclaims, "That doesn't matter. Its. A. TOY!"
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Jani says, "Perhaps a few profession-specific items?  Some sort of fancy lockpicking stuff, the massive hammer of doom, an animated cauldron, a fancy runestaff."
Dandi roars at Fjalar!
Talryssa quietly says, "That we need more RP stuff/personalization stuff."
Jani shrugs.
Speaking to Talryssa, Keios says, "Quite frankly, I'm surprised you haven't asked for puppies yet."
Speaking to Dandi, Philnia asks, "Even going to be playing in 2 days?"
Philnia chuckles.
Speaking to Jani, Anatae says, "Infusing runes."
Jani nods at Anatae.
Dandi nods at Philnia.
Mirrami disgustedly says, "We don't need any puppies."
Dandi says, "I'm still here."
Speaking quietly to Keios, Talryssa says, "I'm waiting till their defenses are down."
Lyradie asks, "Guys, auction item suggests are really easy to post on the boards. Mind if we move along a little?"
Fjalar asks, "Pet squirrel?"
A starburst of silver and dark azure sparks erupts from the deep azure blazestar that is on Talryssa's forehead.
Dandi says, "It's my friend who left."
Speaking softly to Halgur, Miaya says, "I want a tiera for Bluepin."
Scrimge says, "Folks, let's hold any questions to the end, and we can take turns.  I can't keep trying to keep up with the chatter and answer effectively too."
Talryssa quietly exclaims, "Squirrel!"
Hulp exclaims, "A gnome device that transmutes iron into wood weight!"
Scrimge says, "Okay, next topic."
Dandi peers quizzically at Philnia.
Speaking to Dandi, Philnia says, "Really? Heard you were owning  alliance."
Anatae says, "Thats why you have to mute us to get stuff done."

Hulp hiccups!
Scrimge asks, "I want to get your feedback on the traditional Platinum events.  What ones you enjoy, and what ones you'd like to see replaced or updated.  Or perhaps simply done away with?"
Dandi giggles.
Dandi's dragonfly saewehna pulses against her forehead, giving off a faint rainbow glow.
Miaya's eyes glaze over as she stares, unfocused, into the distance.
Anatae asks, "Like?"
Hulp sighs.
Dandi exclaims, "I like all events I don't have to pay for!"
Aulis flings himself against Wyrom, bounces off of him, and giggles madly!
Dandi lets out a cheer!
Jani takes a drink from her well aged whiskey.
Scrimge says, "Such as...the Sweetheart festival that was run last February, for one."
Fjalar asks, "Can you be more specific about 'traditional plat events'?"
Wyrom grins wryly.
Anatae says, "Oh thats fun if people go."
Wyrom touches one finger to his lips.
A shower of dancing pale pink and silver sparks flare up from Anatae's pink mistvein ruby.
Keios leans softly against Wyrom.

 * Retser drops dead at your feet!
Retser screams and falls to the ground grasping his mangled right leg!
Talryssa quietly says, "I'd like the sweetheart gala to be a yearly event for the Carnival."
 * Retser just bit the dust!
 * Retser just bit the dust!
Fjalar says, "It's ok.. could use some sprucing up in my opinion."
Vanwen blinks.
Talryssa cackles!
Vanwen glances at Retser.
Lyradie says, "Knew that was coing."
Keios adopts an agreeable expression.
Scrimge adds, "Or.  Events that once were traditional, and dissapeared over the years.  Stuff like that."
Lyradie says, "Coming."
Speaking to Retser, Aulis exclaims, "You gotta wait until the Sweetheart Festival for that!"
Lyradie shakes her head at Retser and clucks her tongue.
Fjalar says, "Winterfest."
Scrimge chuckles.
Speaking to Retser, Halgur asks, "See what happens when you play with Grimswarm?"
Anatae nods in agreement at Fjalar.
Fjalar says, "Was absolutely awesome for a free event."
The tingling sensation and sense of security leaves Vaein.
Speaking to Halgur, Retser exclaims, "Curses!"
Talryssa quietly says, "Also, 2012 we had a Plat Carnival, in Lower Trollfang."
Scrimge says, "Winterfest."
Speaking to Retser, Keios says, "He didn't mean it, he's just missing Brinret to explode."
Scrimge ponders.
Hulp says, "Well, I been in Plat before, and it a real sacrifice for me to spend the extra $$ at this time to play at this level, there was no way I could do EB this year..."
Talryssa quietly says, "That was a fun event."
Dandi exclaims, "Winterfest was fun, I liked the ornaments!"
Wyrom says, "Fjalar really means the Dragonfly Festival was his favorite."
Dandi says, "And the games."
Fjalar says, "Some decent enhancives sold, the magic cheeses and a merchant that let you swap out the restrictions on the enhancives from there."
Wyrom grins at Fjalar.
Speaking to Scrimge, Vorks says, "Big fan of the highman games, or something very similar.  Get the manly festivals in there too."
Fjalar says, "From giant only to dwarf...or one weapon type to a similar one."
Dandi giggles at Keios.
Speaking to Wyrom, Halgur says, "I liked the butterfly festival back when."
Dandi asks, "Only a few more days right?"
Scrimge says, "K, I'm writing these down as you mention them."
Dandi peers quizzically at Keios.
Speaking to Wyrom, Retser says, "Is it me? I'll change."
Keios cocks her head at Dandi.
Vanwen says, "I really enjoyed the FWI festival this year."
Hulp says, "Just wish there had been a little something for the others like me who could not attend, some mini invasion or something."
Dandi exclaims, "The tree fest was really fun!"

Dandi says, "I really enjoyed the tree sprites, they made me extra happy."
Anatae says, "One of my favs in a while."
Scrimge grins.
Jornaal's storm elemental tattoo suddenly emerges from underneath his black feathered wings and glides over to his finger before settling down.
Mirrami says, "I think I missed the tree sprite one."
Philnia says, "Tree sprites...."
Tanderick leans back.
Philnia rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Speaking to Scrimge, Glurph exclaims, "Conquest wheel.. I don't care if we don't have enough people.. I yearn for the wheel!"
Mirrami scratches her head.
Vaein says, "Tree sprite fest was excellent."
Vanwen says, "Honestly, I enjoyed the gnomefest in Prime too. I'd like to see some of the mentor events replicated here."
Anatae rubs Mirrami tenderly.
Jornaal says, "It wasn't really a festival."
Fjalar says, "Dice game."
Dandi asks, "Gnomefest?"
Scrimge nods at Vanwen.
Zakken says, "Dandi really wants a verb to dance like the tree sprites.  I heard her say it."
Scrimge says, "Good suggestion."
Dandi's entire body droops dejectedly as her lips tremble downwards.
Speaking to Mirrami, Philnia says, "Four winds i think."
Dandi nods at Zakken.
Dandi asks, "There's events we don't get?"
Jornaal says, "But one thing I liked years ago... the players ran a festival."
Hulp grins at Dandi.
Anatae nods at Dandi.
Dandi exclaims, "I'd like the events we don't get!"
Mirrami shrugs at Philnia.
Vanwen says, "I think that the nature of mentor events lend themselves well to the plat enviroment."
Dandi exclaims, "Why don't we get them?!"
Philnia shrugs.
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.
Dandi peers quizzically at Scrimge.
Vanwen says, "They are short ish."
Miaya softly says, "What would be nice is/are festivals that we can go to that we do not have to pay for that would be plat exclusive."
Vanwen says, "One day or a weekend."
Speaking to Glurph, Wyrom says, "The pays are mostly based on what's on the table.  So it doesn't really do well."
Speaking to Dandi, Anatae says, "We don't have enough gnomes."
Scrimge says, "Good question, we should."
Miaya softly says, "Something that might even draw more people to plat."
Dandi exclaims, "I'll be a gnome for a day!"
Dandi exclaims, "I love gnomes!"
Philnia exclaims, "Make EG free!"
Hulp agrees with Anatae.
Scrimge chuckles.
Mirrami smirks at Philnia.
Speaking to Dandi, Tanderick exclaims, "Gnandi!"
Miaya softly says, "We have had 5 or 6 new people join recently."
Dandi says, "I don't mind some paid events, but I do feel like paid events are gettting on the heavy side."
Philnia says, "Or I'll make a sign and hit you with it."
Fjalar says, "Make GS subs cheaper."
Speaking to Miaya, Halgur says, "I would suggest stories more than merchants personally."
Dandi turns to Tanderick and cheers!
Anatae agrees with Dandi.
Zakken says, "EG is a lot of work for the GMs, I understand it having a cost.  But I still feel plat should be getting more attention for the price we pay."
>agree halg
You agree with Halgur.
Miaya softly says, "I would love to see things happen like when I first joined plat."
Speaking to Wyrom, Glurph exclaims, "I know... Hmm. Tweak treasure gen to 11 for the month leading up to it, so people go big!"
Zakken says, "Just a humble opinion of course."
Aulis exclaims, "Sauli's Storytelling Spectacular!"
Miaya agrees with Halgur.
Aulis ponders.
Anatae wrinkles her nose.
Speaking to Wyrom, Glurph says, "I'll bet big regardless."
Scrimge nods.
Dandi turns to Aulis and cheers!
Speaking to Scrimge, Fjalar says, "I know a good one.  Plat summer spectacular."
Speaking to Zakken, Halgur says, "Humble doesn't fit any of us."
Dandi exclaims, "Saulis sizzling Storytelling Spectacular!"
Miaya softly says, "Even silly stuff that happened to me like getting sent to the scatter at level 5."
Mirrami nods at Fjalar.
Speaking to Fjalar, Keios says, "That wasn't alliterative enough."
Dandi nods enthusiastically at Aulis!
Anatae says, "I can't even use Sauli, damn puppy roasting."
Quiet mumbling is coming from the direction of Dandi's sunny yellow cape.
The dragonfly saewehna on Dandi's forehead flickers softly, causing rainbow flames to briefly flare within her eyes.
Mirrami says, "When the trials happen."
Anatae wrinkles her nose.
Aulis turns to Dandi and cheers!
Scrimge says, "The reason I wanted your feedback on this is because I'm trying to plan for the upcoming stuff in 2015, and wanted to be sure we were giving you guys events you enjoyed."
Miaya softly says, "The new cleric that gm interaction was great."
Miaya glances at Wyrom.
Scrimge says, "So, this has definitely been helpful."
Fjalar says, "Really would like to see a much bigger push with the plat summer trials and lots of activity and raffles and whatnot to attract new players."
Speaking to Anatae, Philnia says, "Burm him."
A rose-cut pale pink mistvein ruby with silvery inclusions on Anatae's forehead flares into pale pink flames, causing the air around Anatae to waver.
Jani softly says, "I'd give up half the festivals for more stories."
Anatae agrees with Philnia.
Sot just left.
 * Sot has disconnected.
 * Sot has disconnected.
Glurph says, "Oh, the feeder frenzy back in 2010 was one of the big reasons I stuck around Plat after coming back. Really enjoyed that one."
 * Sot joins the adventure.
 * Sot joins the adventure.
Fjalar nods at Glurph.
Scrimge ponders.
Sot just arrived.
Scrimge nods at Fjalar.
Scrimge nods at Glurph.
Miaya softly says, "You know I was telling one of the gms recently."
Sot turns towards Wyrom and renders a sharp hand salute.
Glurph says, "Nothing earth-shattering. Just alterations and scripted stuff mostly."
Anatae says, "Stories would be good."
Retser says, "Kippie died of old age shortly after, the end."
Speaking in Elven, Cassae says, "I'd give up every single merchant, for rp that is not all kittens and rainbows that the less bouncy characters could partake in."
Scrimge says, "There are definitely some stories going on right now."
Scrimge grins.
Fjalar says, "The EG taffy thing and other things that led up to EG were a ton of fun too."
Cassae says, "I'd give up every single merchant, for rp that is not all kittens and rainbows that the less bouncy characters could partake in."
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.
Vanwen smiles.
Retser says, "Cassae would not tolerate such an action."
Sot asks, "How about piles of flaming bodies?"
Speaking to Cassae, Philnia asks, "Eat the kitties, shoot hte rainbows?"
Retser says, "Woe is me."
Sot chuckles.
Scrimge looks thoughtfully at Cassae.
Speaking to Cassae, Fjalar says, "The bandits today were trying to recruit some of us to their side today."
Zakken says, "Like plat needs more grumpy people running around."
Vanwen grins at Sot.
Zakken snorts!
Cassae grins at Scrimge.
Vanwen exclaims, "I got hit by one!"
Miaya softly says, "We have a lot of good equipment in game we want more stories like this bandit thing it's been a blast."
Vanwen shudders.
Sot laughs at Vanwen!
Sot says, "Me too."
Speaking to Fjalar, Dandi exclaims, "They tried to get Shilarra the first time when she killed Dainslef!"
>'::phil Maybe she can work out something with Sauli and roasted puppies.
Speaking to Philnia, you say, "Maybe she can work out something with Sauli and roasted puppies."
Dandi snickers.
Cassae says, "It is true."
Cassae nods at Scrimge.
Vaein says, "I agree that lately the bandit activity has been the highlight of plat."
Speaking to Miaya, Zakken says, "Not everyone has full sets of good equipment."
Zakken just nudged Miaya.
Scrimge nods in agreement.
Miaya nods in agreement at Vaein.
The white light leaves Dandi.
The very powerful look leaves Dandi.
Dandi says, "I'm enjoying storyline, I really want more interaction."
Anatae says, "We can probably be better about sharing stories we do happen into."
Fjalar says, "NPCs that are more than just merchants or one-offs for stories."
Philnia looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs.
Scrimge says, "Well, you guys may not know it, but you're already experiencing the beginning chapter of the storyline I've had planned."
Speaking to Dandi, Anatae says, "Say you want more roltons, we all know it."
Zakken asks, "Dandi still needs to get married to Jiddie.  When is that story happening?"
Anatae leans softly against Dandi.
Speaking to Scrimge, Cassae says, "But I will beat that dying vermin when it is question time."
Dandi says, "Its no secret we aren't beloved. But it would be nice to feel at least somewhat wanted."
>raise eye scrim
Dandi snickers at Zakken.
You arch one eyebrow at Scrimge in an expression of sardonic amusement.
Scrimge says, "It's been running slowly over the summer, and has been delayed more than I would have liked to do family stuff on my end.  But, it's still going strong."
Dandi exclaims, "More roltons!"
Scrimge points at Retser.
Vaein gets a blank look on his face.
Speaking to Zakken, Retser exclaims, "Farain is still trying to be a homewrecker, thats the story!"
Scrimge says, "Retser has been a big help in keeping it going strong too."
Dandi adopts an agreeable expression.
Dandi rubs her curled fake moustache.
Sot says, "Retser rocks."
Fjalar says, "I'd love to see more NPCs in plat on the order of the Baron Hochstib's, Grisholm Stone, Elithian Cross, etc."
Scrimge says, "So, keep your eyes peeled, there's been some hints of what's going on posted on the forums from other players."
Speaking to Dandi, Philnia says, "Forgot to cackle."
 * Athias joins the adventure.
 * Athias joins the adventure.
Dandi agrees with Sot.
Miaya softly says, "What you the gms collectivly need to ask what is it these players are yearning for what are they bitching about what do they want."
Cassae nods at Fjalar.
Vanwen rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Vaein asks, "Story since this summer?"
Anatae takes a drink from her oak-aged red icewine.
Anatae looks rather relaxed.
Athias just arrived.
Scrimge says, "However, once we wrap up a chapter, I'd be glad to post an OOC wrap-up, like Kenstrom does on the forums for us."
Vaein asks, "Could you tell us about it?"
Anatae waves to Athias.
Athias waves to Anatae.
Anatae says, "I'm curious what it is."
Scrimge ponders.
Miaya softly says, "Speaking of Kenstrom."
Vaein says, "A story that no one knows about."
Vaein shrugs his shoulders, lifting his wings slightly.
Anatae says, "Unless it's the bandits."
Miaya softly says, "Why not post storyline updates like him."
Anatae's ghostly mara tattoo glances around in ennui as it shuffles around in place.
Hulp stretches to scratch her back, trying to reach that pesky itch.
Scrimge says, "Well, thus far, the bandits have been recruiting, but some players have noticed there seems to be more behind their efforts to recruit."
The air about Vanwen stops shimmering.
Tanderick scratches himself idly.
Scrimge says, "And most recently, with the clerics arguing in front of the temple, a crack appeared in the stone that holds the Griffin Sword."
Cassae raises her hand.
Anatae asks, "Oh, was that related?"
Vanwen blinks.
Fjalar asks, "Nhix stuff?"
Scrimge grins.
Miaya's dragon's tear emerald pulses against her forehead, sending silver and verdant sparks dancing around her lashes.
Anatae blushes a nice shade of rosy pink.
Miaya softly says, "A sword that should never even been in plat."
Halgur scratches his ear.
Vaein nods at Miaya.
Philnia shakes her head at Anatae and clucks her tongue.
Scrimge cryptically asks, "Maaaaaaybeeeee?"
Sot asks, "Never?"
Miaya nods at Sot.
Fjalar raises an eyebrow in Miaya's direction.
Vanwen furrows her brow.
Glurph furrows his brow.
Sot says, "Plat's history starts where it broke off prime."
Sot says, "So it inherits it all."
Speaking to Miaya, Glurph says, "GSS 1 and 2 didn't happen here. Until a GM decides to break it, it belongs."
Sot says, "Otherwise we'd have nothing."
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.
Scrimge points at Glurph.
Vanwen rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Speaking to Scrimge, Cassae asks, "May I say/ask something?"
Speaking softly to Glurph, Miaya says, "I suppose but it really has no history in plat."
Jornaal's storm elemental tattoo seems to survey the area for a time before rolling its eyes.
Vanwen asks, "Does anyone remember the fortuneers in Prime?"
Speaking to Miaya, Glurph says, "You won't hear me argue with that one."
Glurph grins at Miaya.
Philnia says, "I heard gs 2 sucked."
Vanwen says, "It stikes me as a good sort of Plat event."
Scrimge says, "Plat has a seperate history line, so it makes it interesting.  But, let's just say I plan to tie into the other history a bit as well.  I've got some very neat feedback from a few of you on ideas to pull from."
The very powerful look leaves Mirrami.
The white light leaves Mirrami.
Speaking to Cassae, Scrimge says, "Sure."
The dim aura fades from around Mirrami.
Rienji's scorpion tattoo seems to grow increasingly more restless as it mills about.  Finally, it gathers itself and disappears behind the pewter silk shirt covering his chest.
Hulp pours herself a glass of fruity rum punch.
Hulp takes a drink from her fruity rum punch.

A tall bay window draped in thin, dark linen curtains serves as a backdrop to this expansive room.  Twining sage vines adorned in wild sunset-hued gladiolus blooms, frame the window and creep out from behind the curtains, spreading across the back wall and up toward an elaborate eahnor chandelier hanging from the peak of the domed ceiling.  A wide black walnut bookcase rests against one of the brocaded walls.  A leather chair sits behind a black walnut desk.  You also see the Rienji disk, the Dandi disk, the Glurph disk, a jubilant tree spirit that is flying around, the Vorks disk, the Anatae disk, the claw-marked Vanwen disk, a half-circle soft leather lounge and a smoky glass serving cart with some stuff on it.

Obvious exits: out
Hulp hiccups!
Speaking to Scrimge, Cassae says, "Its no secret that Cassae has wanted the landing to burn to the ground for years.  She is vocal about it.  Sorry Taly."
Miaya glances at Fjalar.
Scrimge grins at Cassae.
Lyradie whispers an arcane phrase and her eyes flash a brilliant crystal green.
Lyradie gestures.
The magic fizzles ineffectually.
Sot smirks at Jornaal.

Anatae pours herself a chalice of oak-aged red icewine.
Lyradie stands up.
Quiet mumbling is coming from the direction of Dandi's sunny yellow cape.
Jornaal begins chuckling at Sot!
Lyradie just went out.
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.
Hulp takes a drink from her fruity rum punch.
A jubilant tree spirit hurriedly flits out of sight.
Lovely Lyradie just arrived.
Lyradie sits down.
Hulp takes a drink from her fruity rum punch.
Hulp looks rather relaxed.
A rose-cut pale pink mistvein ruby with silvery inclusions on Anatae's forehead glimmers in the ambient light, swirling with liquid flecks of silver, gold, and pale pink.

Hulp looks quite relaxed.
Retser grins at Scrimge.
Philnia blinks.
Philnia smirks at Anatae.
Vanwen grins.
Speaking to Scrimge, Cassae says, "But all the bandit stuff happens in the walls of the landing.  And she won't step inside them.  So could you folks if you want her company find a way to reach out to her?  Would love rp for us darker folks anything.  I don't need a whole fish just a fin or a spine."
Talryssa just left.
Anatae leans softly against Philnia.
Scrimge nods at Cassae.
Scrimge says, "I'll keep it in mind."
Scrimge grins.
Fjalar raises his hand.
Cassae says, "And I know I am not the only one craving a fish tail."
Speaking in Sylvankind to Anatae, Philnia exclaims, "Faker!"
Speaking to Scrimge, Cassae says, "Thanks."
Anatae snickers.
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Miaya says, "She is right there are chars that will not step foot in the landing and ALL the storylines and invasions happen here."
Scrimge says, "Let's just say that this summer so far, there has been a very dark recruiter, recruiting very dark players, for very dark things."
Mayor Talryssa just arrived.
Anatae says, "Not all."
Scrimge says, "Quoting Retser there."
Talryssa mutters stupid.
Scrimge grins.
Mirrami grins at Anatae.
Talryssa mutters webbrowser.
Vaein raises an eyebrow.
Fjalar says, "I'd like to see you as guru, take ownership of plat and really make a mark on the history of plat."
Scrimge pokes Retser in the ribs.
Retser grins at Scrimge.
Miaya glances at Retser.
Scrimge nods at Fjalar.
Halgur says, "For a lot of people, they age out of the Landing and it is just a pain to come back."
Speaking softly to Retser, Miaya exclaims, "No kidnaping me!"
Hulp says, "It...it was snowing a couple of nights ago in Icemule and I was hoping it was a prelude to something..."
Retser wiggles his eyebrows.
Hulp blinks.
Talryssa just left.
Lyradie says, "Actually, Shilarra and I had our first encounters with them outside the gates and in Solhaven, but not many joined us. (not many logged in that day)"
Fjalar says, "Less of the shell of prime events, and more stuff that is unique and shapes plat in it's own way."
Vanwen glances at Halgur.
Vanwen exclaims, "You have portals!"
The dim aura fades from around Hulp.
Speaking to Fjalar, Scrimge says, "I share you opinion on that one."
Lyradie says, "Fun tho."
Speaking to Scrimge, Cassae says, "We are willing to work, but you got to toss us a life line.  Plenty of places close to the landing that is not INSIDE it to gather us too."
Cassae shrugs.
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.
Cassae says, "My 3cents."
Dandi asks, "More time for the mayor campaigns this year, with maybe even a debate?"
Dandi asks, "If anyone actually looking forward to trying to be mayor?"
Anatae wrinkles her nose.
Dandi hums happily to herself.
Dandi points at her vaalorn star.
Dandi nods enthusiastically!
Tanderick grins at Retser.
Philnia peers quizzically at Anatae.
Scrimge says, "Keep in mind, some town Guru's still want to run their own stuff here in Plat too.  Such as Valryka with Illistim."
Scrimge says, "And Icemule with Marstreforn."
Tanderick deftly removes the veil iron maul from his harness.
Tanderick shows Retser his veil iron maul.
Tanderick carefully straps his maul to his harness.  It rattles against the claidhmore strapped to it, and he carefully adjusts them.
Retser nods.
Philnia chuckles.
Retser grins at Tanderick.
Fjalar asks, "I'm more curious if the GM's feel that the Mayor stuff is working or if they think it needs tweaking or anything?"
Dandi shows Tanderick her vaalorn star.
Scrimge says, "So, I try to keep my stories out of those towns for the most part, so as not to overlap too much with them."
Cassae says, "You can meet in the Landing area without being in the Landing."
Zakken says, "Speaking purely for me, since I seem to be alone in this.  I love Icemule, I spend a lot of time there on alts who are not Zakken.  I'd love to see more happenings there."
Hulp agrees with Cassae.
Anatae chuckles.
Fjalar says, "And the Mayor herself."
Tanderick leans softly against Dandi.
Zakken shrugs.
Philnia shrugs at Anatae.
Speaking to Anatae, Philnia says, "Worth it."
Jani nods at Zakken.
Dandi says, "She's sadly having to work right now."
Anatae says, "The last thing I saw in Mule just fizzled out."
Scrimge says, "I've only been watching the Mayor stuff over the summer, but it seems to be a positive aspect to the game that I like."
Lyradie nods in agreement.
Speaking to Anatae, Philnia asks, "That troll thing?"
Anatae nods at Philnia.
Dandi's dragonfly saewehna pulses against her forehead, sending silver and rainbow sparks dancing around her lashes.
Lyradie raises her hand.
Scrimge says, "I'm not opposed to adapting it a bit going forward though, depending on feedback from Taly and others."
Dandi says, "But Mayor is fun, I think she takes her job seriously and we've all enjoyed her as such for the rp it gives."
Lyradie asks, "Can we bring up the Plat anniversary gift elephant now?"
Fjalar says, "My personal feeling is that it hinders the RP you guys can do with a player in the role vs an NPC like Grisholm Stone.  I've always thought a player run town council person or something would be a better fit."
Raising her arms slightly, Hulp arches her back and gently lets her head rock back.
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.

Obvious exits: out
Speaking to Fjalar, Lyradie says, "They can do mayors of other towns. There are a few towns."
Lyradie shrugs.
Dandi exclaims, "Maybe other towns should have mayors too? then we can have our own UN!"
Speaking to Zakken, Scrimge says, "I like Icemule too, and I'm not opposed to spreading the love all over the game.  But the only towns under my wings right now are the Landing, Teras, Zul and RR.  The rest of the Gurus have opted to continue to work with Platinum.  So."
Dandi nods enthusiastically at Lyradie!
Scrimge says, "If you post in those threads on the forums, let them know you'd like some love."
Scrimge grins.
Anatae exclaims, "Yes, lets all go to Zul!"
Scrimge grins at Anatae.
Cassae raises her hand.
Vanwen asks, "Speaking of RR, when will the launcher be arriving?"
Scrimge says, "Oh, don't you worry."
Philnia says, "Zul smells."
Dandi exclaims, "I'll totally be the mayor of a giant VOLCANO!"
Scrimge says, "There's some cool stuff in Zul I plan to use."
Vanwen says, "I hear it rivals blood eagle riding."
Scrimge hums a seemingly random tune.
Dandi rubs her curled fake moustache.
Dandi cackles deep in her throat, her voice rising in chilling laughter.
Mayor Talryssa just arrived.
Hulp says, "Much easier for gnome to hunt undead in Mule, they not locked behind big heavy gates."
 * Chakar joins the adventure.
 * Chakar joins the adventure.
Speaking to Scrimge, Fjalar says, "What does that mean in regards to things like Clan Leader Griva ad Prince Eregrek on Teras."
Dandi pokes Talryssa in the ribs.
Vorks gruffly says, "I like Zul, its just so lonely or I'd be there more."
Dandi exclaims, "We were talking about you!"
Dandi nods enthusiastically at Talryssa!
Hulp stares off into space.
Talryssa quietly says, "I didn't do it."
Anatae says, "Teras is at least warm."
Jornaal's storm elemental tattoo appears bored with its surroundings.
Talryssa quietly says, "It was Miaya."
Vanwen grins at Anatae.
Speaking to Anatae, Philnia says, "All the soot though."
Talryssa quietly asks, "If we're still discussing mayors, could I mention somethings from the hot seat?"
Scrimge says, "Okay, let's slow the roll on the questions a second and do the 1st grade raising hands thing.  Otherwise I'm gonna get lost in the questions.  Let's see... Lyradie."
Scrimge points at Lyradie.
Anatae laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.
Scrimge asks, "What was your question about elephants?"
There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the necklace worn by Sot.
Scrimge begins to twitch.
Lyradie asks, "Can we bring up the Plat anniversary gift elephant now?"
Scrimge chuckles.
Lyradie chuckles.
Chakar just came trudging in.
Sot turns to Chakar and cheers!
Lyradie asks, "RSN? Can we exchange that for the enhancive hiding pin?"
Chakar nods at Sot.
Speaking to Lyradie, Glurph says, "Oh, you weren't told? I'm your gift."
Retser praises Glurph.
Lyradie makes a rude suggestion to Glurph and gets a firm punch for it.
Glurph frowns at Lyradie.
Philnia snaps her fingers.
Lyradie wiggles her eyebrows at Glurph.
Miaya giggles.
Speaking to Lyradie, Mirrami says, "Never look a gift elephant in the mouth."
Philnia says, "Oh right..."
Hulp cackles at Glurph!
Speaking quietly to Lyradie, Talryssa says, "We should have gotten a gift receipt."
Keios gives Lyradie an elephant.
Speaking to Mirrami, Philnia asks, "Hey you, you missed our anniversery, what'd you get me?"
Speaking dryly to Glurph, Fjalar says, "She was expecting a larger package."
Glurph scoffs at Talryssa.
Lyradie beams happily at Keios!
Speaking to Mirrami, Aulis says, "Eating a whole elephant is a pretty big bite."
Glurph glances at Fjalar and bursts into tears!
Scrimge says, "I admit I don't know a thing about the anniversary gift stuff.  I'll throw a bone at Wyrom and see what the deal was.  The go from there.  I'm making a note of it now."
Chakar pours himself a shot of well aged whiskey.
Halgur seems slightly different.
Retser exclaims, "Don't throw a bone at him, he'll blow you up!"
Chakar whistles tunelessly to himself.
Lyradie smiles happily as she hugs her pale, over-used elephant.
Halgur seems hesitant, looking unsure of himself.
Chakar licks his well aged whiskey.
Scrimge says, "It's now on my follow-up list of doom."

Lyradie says, "Then yeah, he posted RSN."
Chakar sniffs at Dandi.
Lyradie says, "How long ago was Simucon? Not RSago."
The scent of death and decay wafts by as GameMaster Wyrom shambles in.
Wyrom says, "It's still coming."
Wyrom nods.
Lyradie waves to Wyrom.
GameMaster Wyrom shambles away, leaving no trace of his whereabouts.
Scrimge says, "Hrm... apparently Wyrom says he's poking our Devs about that.  It was supposed to be 15 extra locker spaces."
Scrimge nods.
Lyradie starts chortling.
Speaking to Anatae, Philnia exclaims, "Be mine!"
Scrimge says, "Hah."
Scrimge says, "There you go."

Fjalar says, "He forgot the ponies."
Cassae raises her hand.
Fjalar raises his hand.
Hulp says, "15 extra lockers...."
Glurph nods at Fjalar.
Lyradie asks, "But, can we exchange that for an enhancive-hiding pin!?"
Anatae bites her lip.
Scrimge says, "Cassae, then Fjalar."
Hulp twiddles her thumbs.
Lyradie asks, "Not an elephant?"
Lyradie stares at Keios.
For no reason at all Lyradie suddenly lurches forward into the dirt.

Dandi offers Keios a sugar-glazed cupcake frosted with bacon demons.
Speaking to Keios, Scrimge says, "DOOM."
Keios blinks.
Speaking to Scrimge, Cassae says, "Just clarification when some of say we won't step into the landing (except for ooc meetings) we literally mean the town.  All the land around it is fair game.  Abandonned Inn, caravansary, graveyards etc. And promise all I am going to rattle on about it this meeting."
Talryssa raises her hand.
Keios says, "Err."
Keios declines Dandi's offer.
Dandi giggles.
Speaking to Dandi, Keios says, "It would corrode my circuitry."
Scrimge nods at Cassae.
Cassae winks at Scrimge.
Hulp appears less confident.
Anatae stands up.
Cassae says, "Done and thanks."
Dandi nods at Keios.
Speaking to Cassae, Scrimge says, "I understand, sorry you weren't able to be at the Cleric thing.  Unfortunately, the location was a bit needed to tie the 319 spell release into the current storyline this time around."
Scrimge says, "But I do hear you."
Scrimge nods at Cassae.

Fjalar asks, "Will plat be getting new town leaders NPCs for those towns, or are there any plans to revive existing NPC's and do more with them?"
Speaking to Fjalar, Scrimge says, "It means in regard to general storylines happening in those towns/regions."
Scrimge says, "So it als involves their leaders, yes."
Magical Miaya just went out.
Jornaal chants an esoteric incantation as small sparks surround his hands.
Jornaal gently rests his hand on Keios's shoulder.

Scrimge says, "Also..."
Vorks returns to normal color.
Huckster Hulp just crawled out.
Scrimge says, "Typing too fast, it seems."
Fjalar asks, "The existing ones, or a chance to do something storyline wise to create new NPC's for the current staff to make their own?"
Zakken ponders.
A white glow rushes away from Halgur.
Scrimge says, "As far as new leaders, it's situational."
Scrimge chuckles.
Fjalar says, "It's been years since most of them have been seen in plat, that's why I ask."
Scrimge says, "And yes, there's a chance to do new NPCs, certainly."
Dandi abruptly kicks at the Dandi disk!
Scrimge nods at Fjalar.
Speaking to Retser, Zakken asks, "Have you guys made sure to upgrade Keios to the most recent version of DOS?"
Zakken cocks his head at Retser.
Retser says, "Nope."
Zakken frowns.
Huckster Hulp just arrived.
Hulp sits down.
Retser says, "She will be DOS forever, I like her that way."
Fjalar prods a curved glossy rolaren longsword with an acid-etched fuller with the tip of his finger.
Dandi agrees with Retser.
Jornaal's storm elemental tattoo glances around in ennui as it shuffles around in place.
Dandi says, "Classic."
Fjalar takes a drink from his dark cherry brandy.
Speaking to Zakken, Aulis exclaims, "We're keeping her Linux-based because she's such a lynx!"
Aulis nods sagely.
Speaking to Retser, Zakken says, "Damage avoidence systems are very important you know."
Dandi giggles.
Retser says, "I terminaly emulate into her."
Scrimge says, "Okay and Miaya."
Jornaal says, "I think we should upgrade Keios to GLaDos."
Jornaal nods.
Lyradie gawks at Retser.
Anatae waves.
Anatae gives Philnia a lingering kiss on the cheek.
Scrimge smiles at Anatae.
Keios glances at the deliciously delectable Dandi disk dangling dozens of donuts.

Dandi glances at the deliciously delectable Dandi disk dangling dozens of donuts as if it really needs a hug.
Miaya softly asks, "What about the plat and prime point conversion?"
Miaya softly says, "When will that happen."
Scrimge says, "Ah, yes.  I asked about that as well."
Talryssa quietly says, "Did I miss the topic about mayors? Sorry."
Cassae looks over at Talryssa and shakes her head.
Miaya softly says, "It's been talked about and promised and talked about and promised and we are still waiting."
Talryssa quietly says, "Work keeps distracting me."
Vanwen stands up.
Vanwen stretches.
Talryssa raises her hand.
Scrimge says, "So, I asked Wyrom about that, since he's the big man on campus now."
Hulp stands up.
Vanwen says, "Sorry to leave before this is over. Hopefully someone will post a log."
Huckster Hulp just went out.
Speaking to Jornaal, Athias asks, "So we can tear her to pieces?"
You notice Vanwen moving stealthily out.

 * Vanwen returns home from a hard day of adventuring.
 * Vanwen returns home from a hard day of adventuring.
A subtle light fades from Halgur's eyes.
Miaya recites softly:
    "I have given my bitching now let me give you the pluses, the Gm that has been interacting with familiars and  companions bravo, it's been a blast to see and interact with.  The GM's that have been interacting with the new victims em I mean players that have joined like Chakar great job I applaud you for that.  The player and the rest of us that knew about it or heard about it thought it was great. I already commented on the bandits but I again will reiterate we LOVE this kind of stuff, it's the reason most of us are still here"
An ethereal golden collection bowl drifts out of Halgur, then vanishes.
The powerful look leaves Mirrami.

Fjalar becomes solid again.
Aulis nods sagely.
Scrimge says, "So, there's not really much to report as far as point conversion goes, unfortunately."
Speaking to Aulis, Glurph says, "Perv."
Miaya nods at Scrimge.
Scrimge says, "I do plan to keep you updated as I learn more though."

Speaking to Keios, Fjalar says, "01101000 01101111 01110111 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01100100 01101111 01101001 01101110 01100111."

 * Hulp returns home from a hard day of adventuring.
Cassae snickers at Retser.
Dandi says, "It's true. People seem to hate landing therefore they don't want to help make it better."
Dandi grumbles.
Talryssa quietly says, "But... there's also somethings that might could come from the GMs. I know there might be some who claim favoritism and all, but when a CHARACTER comes into the Landing and threatens it in front of the mayor."
Chakar scowls.
Talryssa quietly says, "The mayor SHOULD have some sort of ability to take action."
Chakar nods at Talryssa.
Speaking to Fjalar, Athias says, "She's doing just fine."

Jornaal hugs Sherlise.
Sherlise waves to Jornaal.
Talryssa quietly asks, "But... how does that even happen, that I can get other peoplve involved and isn't just behind the scenes stuff?"
Retser exclaims, "Who would burn bodies!"
Retser gasps.
Scrimge chuckles.
Lyradie raises an eyebrow in Retser's direction.
Speaking to Talryssa, Fjalar says, "Or you know...put a hinge on the damned gate so it can close during an invasion."
Miaya just kicked Retser!
Mythrak says, "The Mayor should be able to turn off town justice. Then the friendly  neighbourhood sorcerer can just explode whoever said "boo"."
Mythrak adopts an agreeable expression.
Speaking to Mythrak, Aulis says, "That's a rumor, sorcerers really aren't friendly."
Cassae says, "I agree that would be a nice perk of office."
Talryssa quietly says, "That's an idea, but it leaves open some vast opoortunity for favoritism."
Fjalar says, "And for god's sake, fix the PEER with the North Gate."
Scrimge says, "Well, I do agree that being the Mayor should have certain privleges and powers.  I'm not against exploring those options."
Scrimge ponders.
Philnia pokes Mirrami in the ribs.
The dull golden nimbus fades from around Mirrami.
Fjalar says, "Can PEER inside town, but not OUT the gate."
Scrimge says, "True, but they did vote you into office as players."
Scrimge grins.
Miaya softly says, "Oh, and when we have these mini invasions and what not the mayor should be able to pardon someone that murdered someone accidently."
Speaking to Mythrak, Jornaal says, "Why do that? could just dump a bunch of water into the park and I can cast cone of lightning."

The misty halo fades from Mirrami.
Speaking quietly to Miaya, Talryssa says, "That's a good idea."
Scrimge says, "From an IC perspective, Taly should be able to banish or pardon people with her office."
Jornaal's storm elemental tattoo seems to grow increasingly more restless as it mills about.  Finally, it gathers itself and disappears behind the suede rucksack covering his back.
Talryssa quietly says, "Yes."
Cassae nods.
Fjalar says, "It's very odd that you can peer out the gate to see what sorts of invasion creatures lay in wait."
Talryssa quietly says, "Of course, I think it should have limitiers."
Jornaal nods.
Speaking to Talryssa, Glurph says, "Let me know as soon as you come up with a price structure for those pardons."
Fjalar says, "Can't."
Glurph winks at Talryssa.
Speaking softly to Scrimge, Miaya says, "I don't think players would abuse something like that, it just makes sense and if they do then you take their ability to do these things away and call for a re-election."
Halgur says, "Might actually be worth it..."
Cassae says, "Even if just for a day."
Lyradie nods in agreement at Fjalar.
Talryssa quietly says, "Send an email to you, Scrimge, and let you review it."
Halgur ponders.
Lyradie nods in agreement at Miaya.
Halgur says, "No, Mayor is never worth it."
Speaking to Talryssa, Cassae says, "A banish for a day would hurt no one."

Retser exclaims, "SHERLISE!"
Retser hurls himself at Sherlise!
Retser flies a bit wide and lands in a heap on the ground.
Sherlise asks, "Come appeal your crimes?"
Scrimge says, "So, what I'm willing to do for now, you're always welcome to e-mail myself and Hivala, and you know. RP it up like you're writting to the Council of the Landing who serves under you."
Sherlise hugs Retser.

Keios picks up a dark black t-shirt that reads I COULD BE LEVELING.
Fjalar walks over to the lounge and settles down.
Scrimge says, "That way if you have something you want changed or done as Mayor, one of us can get it happening in some degree IC to make the office a bit more 'real'."
Scrimge nods at Talryssa.
