What Are You Thinking Right Now

<~~~thinks...every warrior...every citizen EVERYBODY who wears a LAURA name tag above theyre head at some stage, needs to all pull together and get Laura back on top WHERE SHE BELONGS DAMMIT!!! We need to pull new RPers in so we dont just become like an internet chat room and we need to HAVE fun. Everyone is important in Laura even the visitors! When a new person walks through the gates think of them as a possible new friend and citizen......talk to them. Even NEW TO GOR people....we were all once new and I thank the priest kings for the first person I spoke to in Gor when I first came, and he is still a great friend. We all love Laura and want her to be seen in all her glory. We are a famliy of sorts and we need to keep growin to survive. ~climbs off my invisable soap box and tucks it away until my next rant~ OHH im glad im only thinkin this!

Could not agree more, and I have 100% faith it will happen. I've already seen it happening.

That's wonderful news Arthor (and totally agree with your "signature"...)....

/me thinks Jessy reads my mind.... which is entirely scary.....

/me is now thinking after watching this Trailer again "I'm living IN The Truman Show."

/me thinks that I am going to be stuck at work today when the 4:00PM Raid pratice takes place so will miss all the fun

Thinks that standing at the gate seems to draw people too him like a magnet and needs to find a new place to stand...

And also thinks every Lauran event is put usualy just before or at at 4pm when europeans are going to bed and is sick of telling people no he cannot make it because AGAIN you have forgotten I am european like a few other citizens...


rant over

/me thinks if the European Second Sword can't make the US timezone events, he's certainly high enough ranked to put together some of his own for those on that half of the world. O.o

/me thinks that considering the nature of the blue pop ups that have reached my email account today ..... that if anyone sees Gavin standing anywhere near the handrail to the gorge at the pavillion, PULL HIM BACK

/me is very confusifyed

Nah, I'm fine. That's why I'm 1st Sword, I can handle a few men leaving. *chuckles*

We have 2 new warriors this weekend and 5 more next week. We are growing and will thrive, no worries there.

/me thinks if this damn cold does not go away I'm going to pull it out of my head, no matter how painful.

Thinks of course you can and I dont doubt it for a second

Wonders why, with all the work done there and hours spent, the wonderful roleplay provided and the time dedicated to help others IC and OOC, there is not a post already in this forum thanking/remembering/asking the people who has left recently what was wrong, what has happened, how can we change things.

Not even a note post with their names. Just we need more reds, we need blues. "As I am sure you all know, we lack of scribes in the city". Well, how is people supposed to know anything at all, if evreything is always going so fine and some want to paint things pink all the time not to face the city needs some changes?

Guess the people who really needed them are the ones who left. Who can blame them, if no one is going to miss them or just too proud to say so?

Justin, Elise, Severus, Jessy, Keiser, Rylin, Nesa, and many more I just dont know because hey, who cares about them?

I am wondering what to think when I get an IM from the kajira of a founding member of the new City of Hochburg that 22 former citizens of Laura staged a coup and took over their city council, making the founding members of that City think about coming over to us.

The kajiris network is speedy!

I tried to get something simular going with the "What happen to" topic but without any answers coming in, it really is kind of pointless to ask the questions

Sure, specially when they dont know what they are talking about.

(No offence, Muse, I dont know you at all and not talking about you)

/me thinks she misses many ... and it is not that they aren't missed but who will give the right answers over why? I don't like to speculate ... *me grins wickedly thinking about the encounter with the former naked warrior this afternoon*

I don't like to speculate either, which is why little has been said about them. I know some of them left because of drama of their own making. I know some went seeking something different. I know some left because they were burnt out and wanted a break.

When I have tried exit interviews in the past, the usual response is a long diatribe about some one person who irritated them, did things they didn't like, or otherwise made them choose to leave. Who can even say if this is the right answer? Who can tell if they are being truthful to themselves, let alone me?

Most of the people who have left I am sorry to see go. Honestly there are a couple who we are better off without.

The sad fact of SL Gor though is that people do tend to drift around quite a bit. For someone to stay in one city for a long period is rare. When I finally got fed up and moved to Laura, I had been in my old city for more than a year. There were 3 of us who had been there that long or longer left. It all starts with one person, who leaves for whatever reason. Many of the ones who were friends of that person will decide to leave simply because they did.

Are you still a citizen of Laura, Lady Jane? I thought Keiser had said he was leaving Laura and taking you with him?

/me knows she got an IM from a reliable source and as I stated I wondered at its larger meaning and context, but has no reason to doubt the bare facts.

If a group of Laurans have migrated to the new Hochburg sim... I have visited it as I have an RL friend among the founders and it was large, good-looking but empty in its early days...then it will be interesting to see that city develop, and even more interesting to see where any displaced Hochburg founders might settle with their considerable skills and resources.
