InvestSouthside dances
Karrin queries, "How was RP this week?"
Scarry claims, "I got my plot processed! It spawned RP and future plans... AFTER easter because I'm
in Rome tomorrow."
Pippa declaims, "Good good. I think I've got my project about done!"
InvestSouthside claims, "Seemed okay was a lot focused on plots"

Scarry claims, "With the traaaaaiin"
Sparkles claims, "I'm glad folks were able to come out for the Hunting Festival, thanks for setting
that up, Temi."
Scarry claims, "Choo choo"
Brenier says, "What I got of it was good. Due to work I wasn't around a lot, but that boot is off my
neck for now."
Rambling claims, "Remember the other week when I said I might not be around? Turns out we'll just
have to expect that sort of call another 2-3 times. Every couple of weeks. So that's all...
eventually."
Brenier declares, "Yeah the Hunting Festival was a lot of fun!"
Temi exclaims, "Oh, I didn't do much on that one, mostly on you!"
Temi grins at Sparkles.
Karrin states to Rambling, "We hope it all works out for your father soon."

pooh thinking pose*"

Karrin states, "We'll give you some time to think."
Karrin claims to Temi, "You can go firstly."
Rambling states, "Thanks, I'd like to assure everyone that despite what I have to say that he's
really healthy all things considered. Shocks every doctor that handles him lol"
Karrin declares to Rambling, "That's good to hear!"
Temi finishes abruptly, "Okay! Big thing has continued to be the plot - sorry for not reminding
folks I was going to be gone last weekend, though you didn't need to hold off on plots"
Temi grins.
Valora states, "I'm glad to hear that Rambling. Fingers crossed for you and him."
Temi says, "But anyway, back diving into all of that, and hope you're enjoying the progression.
Definitely feel free to let me know if you're not seeing great ways to get involved or there's a
specific type of things you'd love to see"
Temi declares to Rambling, "Oh, good news at least!"
Temi nods at Karrin.
Karrin claims, "I'm really excited to see what you guys do with the current turn of events in the
plot."
Scarry says, "Ahem."
Meiari grumbles about this plot event getting wood shavings all over her.
Karrin claims, "As for me, I had a friend who passed quite unexpectedly in a motorcycle accident, so
admittedly I've not been in the greatest mindset. But, still around when I can be."
Karrin claims, "I did get a plot that's been outstanding for a while processed, though, and I hope
that'll also generate good RP."
Scarry declaims, "Soyuz nerushimyy respublik svobodnykh, Splotila naveki Velikaya Rus'!"
Meiari claims, "Bless you"
Sparkles states, "I'm so sorry, Karrin. Best thoughts for you and their loved ones."
Temi nods in agreement.
Temi comforts Karrin.
Temi says, "This year needs to shape up already. It's been a mean one"
Meiari claims, "It really has been and it needs to stop."
Karrin says, "Yeah, I think definitely more for their loved ones. Stings for me, but he left behind
five kiddos (three adults, and a pair of twelve year old twin girls), and a wife that adores him
very much. Standup guy."
Scarry states, "...I'm very sorry, Karrin and for his family."
Scarry claims, "He will be in my easter prayers, if that means anything to you."
Karrin claims, "It does, thank you. And it would to them, too."
Brenier says, "I am so sorry Karrin for you and his family. It's been a cruel year, yes."
Karrin declares, "Alrighty!"
Karrin questions to Meiari, "Did you remember?"
Meiari claims, "I wanna say it was about flowers, but no T_T"
Karrin claims, "Haha. Ok, if you remember, can always send us a request board."
Temi claims, "Well, flowers are nice. Smell pretty too"
Karrin questions to Sparkles, "What did you have?"
Karrin says to Temi, "They DO."
Sparkles claims, "Hi, this is your friendly neighborhood Bard with your regular reminder about
rumors. Rumors are awesome, even during a slow(er) week having little blips about goings on allows
people with less time/timezones to get some insights into whatever funny things did occur."
Scarry claims, "Gotchu"
Temi declares, "Always an excellent reminder!"
Karrin says, "They don't have to be true, either."
Scarry spreads malicious rumours about the bards.
Temi says, "I meant to add something in too. I should do that today"
Karrin states, "You could put random gossip about Aunt Gertrude running away with some hussy, and
it's totally legit."
Karrin claims, "Even if there IS no Aunt Gertrude."
Temi claims, "I mean, someone has to have an Aunt Gertrude somewhere, really"
Karrin says, "True."
Sparkles states, "Also public rooms and particularly rooms with rumormongers have nosy NPCs in them,
so in the grand scheme of life non-players could also have been the 'origin' point of stuffs."
Temi nods in agreement.
Scarry claims, "I just always feel bad when I put rumours up and people tell me how they follow them
in plots and basically 'waste' resources. "
Scarry claims, "(false rumours that is)"
Sparkles states, "It's giving folks something to discuss and talk about. So it's fueling RP, not all
RP has to end in a 'win'."
Meiari queries, "Was it really a wast of resources if it drives rp though?"
Brenier says, "Yeah that's not a waste."
Meiari claims, "I quite enjoyed dropping the rat king horror on people and fleeing scene muahaha"
Karrin states to Scarry, "Yeah, if someone is complaining about something like that, send them my
way. I'll put them back in their place. If it drives RP, it isn't a waste."
Temi claims, "Yeah, I feel a bit bad when I have to reply to something without much to play with"
Temi finishes abruptly, "But with something like that - hey, it's nice if you can tell people for
sure whether they need to worry or not"
Karrin says to Temi, "We could always just reject the ones that are like that - they get their
resources back, and we let them know that they were just false rumors to create chaos."
Karrin nods.
Sparkles says, "Or focus it back to an NPC that can get a bit of a scolding."
Sparkles waggles a finger.
Sparkles says, "I just blame the auburn-haired man for everything."
Karrin claims, "All auburn-haired men are guilty."
Eeel is idle.
Temi nods in agreement.
Scarry claims, "Lol. Alright."
Scarry states, "I think in my case it was the one about chicken theft."
Temi grins.
Karrin states to Temi, "I think if it's a false rumor, we should have the ability to make the
replies to any resulting plots as wild as humanly possible to further drive RP."
Scarry states, "That was treated so serious rofl."
Meiari trails off, "To be fair... if one is to believe heretics at least, sometimes animals are
truly under attack D:"
Temi asks of Karrin, "There is something to be said for that. Would folks rather truths or more
craziness?"
Scarry says, "What about a bit of both - if you can think of something funny or if you would like it
to be true, the admins can just decide it to be real."
Karrin claims, "I mean, if NPCs, could absolutely be 'real'."
Scarry says, "I think that would give it enough uncertainty that even the original rumour spreader
doesn't know ICly if it's real or not."
Karrin states, "Like the rats."
Temi grins.
Temi nods in agreement.
Meiari asks, "Ah... I think that may depend. Wouldn't want a multi-hour grid wide search for a ratty
monstrosity... but being told that an NPC claimed the bounty would be cool?"
Brenier states, "I enjoyed the Rat King rumor a great deal. I'm all for making something crazy into
real."
Karrin nods.
Temi says, "Alrighty, that sounds good to me. We can keep it in mind"
Karrin states, "We can certainly make it clear that it is NPC based. And we have lots of fun with
stuff, so."
Karrin says, "Ok, any other topics? I love rumors. Please add MANY rumors. For a good while, I was
adding a bunch."
Karrin says, "So people had ones to interact with. And then I got out of the habit."
Meiari trails off, "So, not what I had thought of earlier but something different: can we get a
general idea how often staff takes a peek into what was contributed to the refugees and applies the
contributions to them? I know I've tossed a few crates of things in there..."
Karrin says to Temi, "All you, I think."
Temi states, "I'll be going through and tallying them up before considering the responses to the
weekly plots"
Meiari claims, "Awesome~"
Temi states, "So I haven't yet, but likely will end of day tomorrow"
Karrin nods.
Karrin asks, "Alrighty! Any other topics, or shall I boot you all back to the grid?"
Scarry declaims, "I'll be going!!"
InvestSouthside's opportunity to accept the Personal Event has expired.
Scarry says, "I have a train to catch lol."
Temi declares, "Have fun!"
Karrin exclaims, "Bye!"
Scarry has been transferred out by Karrin. [OOC]
Karrin muses, "Ok, anybody else?"
Pippa says, "None from me"
Sparkles asks, "Ah, I have a general header question for Temi. At some moments I've waited on some
actions I guess presuming I shouldn't act before the King gives direction, but should we be more uh,
forward than that?"
Karrin nods.
Temi claims, "I'm fine with either way, really"
Trogdor queries, "Yeah, thats a good point, in one plot Z acted, and then the King ordered something
contrary -- do we get take-baksies for free when that happens or was I just lucky?"
Temi claims, "I try to offer an opportunity to adjust if something seems cut off early due to the
overall handling"
Temi says, "If I kick it back to needs input, that's often a chance to confirm or redirect"
Trogdor claims, "Cool, good to know"
Trogdor muses, "So when doing plots, its basically your intended actions based upon the current
information, but if that information changes we get a chance to either confirm or do something else?
(to say back what I think you said to make sure I understand)"
Temi states, "Yep, if reasonable, especially if it's not just the result of bad rolls. If things
get aborted due to bad luck or a failure, there may not be"
Karrin nods.
Trogdor states, "Right, if i plot that i'm going to murder the king, and i fail the roll, i don't
get to just say 'j/k'"
Karrin states, "After you submit it, too, you con't have to wait for us if you want to change it.
You can edit it, store it again, and then rethink and resubmit when you've adjusted."
Karrin states, "If you get new info that would be different from what you intend."
Karrin claims to trogdor, "Haha. No."
Temi nods in agreement with Karrin.
Sparkles claims, "Well, good to know Trogdor's plan for the week."
Meiari says, "Not the worst plan I've heard"
Karrin states, "Everyone jump on THAT train."
Karrin questions, "Alright, we ready to go back?"
Valora nods.
Karrin claims, "We love you, we appreciate you, keep playing, keep contributing. We'll do our best
to support from topside."
Meiari does dramatic fortnite dances.
Temi nods in agreement.
Temi claims, "Absolutely"
Karrin waves.
Karrin exclaims, "Have a great week!"
