Karrin says, "OOC Chat Rules:

- Approach each topic with the mindset that each person is doing the best they can with the
knowledge they have, staff and player alike.
- Please avoid topics around current events. Nothing should be revealed in an OOC meeting that
others would prefer to find out in game ICly.
- This is not the correct forum for criticism of a specific player or a topic centered around one
player. If there are concerns about a specific player, please address that with staff privately.
- This is not the correct forum for bringing up policy violations. If there are instances of
perceived policy violations, please address that with staff privately."

HIEROPHANT claims, "Had a nice scene here and there. Sent some fun mail."

scenes"

Karrin declares, "Fun mail is fun!"

Valora exclaims, "So next week!"

Karrin states, "Ah, understandable. She'll be back tomorrow! Pretty sure."

Tatty asks, "Uhm..can anything be a topic?"

Karrin says, "I do guilt trip her heavily when she abandons me like this. (I don't.("

Valora states, "Oh no worries wasn't time sensitive or anything."

Karrin queries to Tatty, "It can. What sort of thing were you thinking?"

Tatty claims to Karrin, "I know the summer's quieter but, I'd love to know what to do for
encouraging RP or helping keep the game active."

Karrin says, "July does tend to be slower. This year is actually better than last year. Sometimes we
bring out fun things to do (a la butterflies back in December/Jan). I think you'll find that people
are *looking* for RP if they're online. So sometimes even just a quick messenger will get you a
scene."

Karrin claims, "I've also noticed a large group of players that have been staying in public and
available for impromptu scenes."

InvestSouthside says, "Messengers, notify, or even just looking at where and seeing where others are
on where and finding them are your friends to finding rp."

Karrin says, "We still also have activities going on... there was a mass yesterday."

Tatty states, "There was? Oh drat. "

Sparkles claims, "Also pboard if you want to catch someone specific"

Karrin states, "Yeah, I am pretty sure I threw it up on the discord. But there are still things
going on. And, the public RP has been really good - I've seen groups in public every single day."

Valora says, "I would also like to remind folks there is also a notify RP so if you plan to camp the
Queen's or something for the day then dropping that can let folks know to come by if they want RP."

Karrin nods.

Valora claims, "Scenes with 2 or 3 folks tend to be scenes with 7+ folks... in my experience."

Meiari states, "You can also host events on your own. Like if you wanted to do a 'come learn about
x, y, z' or do story hour, or something. Which can inspire rp if you want to get others involved in
cooking/hosting and whatnot."

Scarry trails off, "As to what to do in RP..."

Scarry says, "You can just complain about work"

Scarry claims, "Always works for me."

Meiari claims, "Complaining about your GL is always good"

Eeel says, "NOOOO"

Tatty claims, "But my GL is amazing"

Tatty laughs.

Scarry claims, "Yeah, the dumb 2nd GL, go complain about 'em."

InvestSouthside claims, ""I complain about my GL everyday"

Aymeric pontificates, "Complaining is always valid. Complain about co-workers then!"

Tatty states, "I got you. "

Karrin chuckles.

Karrin says, "Or make up some bratty patient."

Karrin claims, "That doesn't exist."

Aymeric states, "Yeah, some hypochondriac noble."

Sparkles says, "Blame auburn haired man"

Valora states, "Also complaining about the Order or committing sin/heresy is a great way to get RP
partners. :)"

Meiari declares, "True - 'This stupid auburn haired man wouldn't stop bothering me for tea, even
though I gave them five cups - and then they said they had too much tea!'"

Scarry says, "I kind of hate it how the knights keep tolling me in King's Concourse."

HIEROPHANT pontificates, "Yes!"

HIEROPHANT exclaims, "I agree! Commit sins and do heresy!"

Scarry states, "I know I need to like support the war effort, but why one gold? Why am I being
branded when I don't pay it? It's so mean."

Aymeric pontificates, "Complaining about the tolls will make the tolls increase!"

Rosethorn says, "Steal the tools, redistribute them"

Valora claims, "Beatings and tithes will improve until Piety reaches legendary."

Valora claims, "Increase not improve... though that too I guess."

Tatty says, "Gotcha"

Karrin states, "In other words, you are welcome to make stuff up, as long as it works. That's how
our quests work, and everything else. The person who "did" it doesn't have to exist, just has to
follow policy."

Tatty queries, "Quests?"

HIEROPHANT claims, "You can always blame me for things."

Sparkles has lost link.

Karrin states, "Mm hmmm, the quests that pop up when you're not engaged in RP. They will give you QP
if you complete them."

HIEROPHANT says, "Pvents"

Meiari states, "The pvents"

Karrin states, "That, yep."

Sparkles has reconnected.

Tatty states, "Oh! Never done em."

Scarry claims, "You should."

Scarry says, "They are actually helpful."

Karrin states, "It can give you some ideas when you're short on them. Some of them are ridiculous,
like that you watched someone get chased down the street by a goose."

Tatty says, "I can do that. Definitely. I guess I just worry about not being involved in what's
going on so it's boring surface level RP that turns people off"

Scarry says, "What do you mean ridiculous."

Rosethorn says, "I end up rejecting most of them because either they don't make sense for my
character imo or I just know I'm not going to be rping. But I accept others if they sound
interesting and even if I don't actually get the 'quest' done, it's still something I can talk about
later. "

Scarry muses, "I literally seen that today??"

[OOC] Aymeric: "Yeah those quests and the 300xp with so and so quests and daily RP location quests
are cool."

Scarry says, "GOD PLEASE GIVE ME SURFACE LEVEL RP"

Rosethorn laughs

Scarry says, "IF I KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE HEADER IN EVERYTHING I WILL LITERALLY EAT GLASS"

Rosethorn questions, "Speaking of RP Locales, is there like...a better way to figure out where some
of these locations are?"

Karrin claims, "Alright! So, what I'm working on this week - we had a plot that wrapped up back in
February, but left some strings because there was someone who was going to spread it ended up
getting swamped by IRL. So, I'll be working on getting something out to applicable parties to wrap
that up and answer those probably hangign questions of, "But why?" from the summoner plot."

Karrin states to Rosethorn, "You can always ask on visnet. We'll tell you some spots you can use as
midpoints if necessary. None of us mind."

Karrin states, "No place "secret" ever shows up as a locale - it's always places flagged as public
rooms."

Sparkles states, "Roster can help sometimes by showing whats nearby"

Karrin states, "If it's a store, yeah."

Karrin muses, "We can leave this open for a while for some more general questions from our new
players. How can we help you guys?"

Scarry states, "But no seriously."

Karrin says, "For all of the rest of you established people, don't forget that who cyan exists. And
if a cyan is in public, it'll list it for you."

Scarry says, "Don't feel obligated to be locked in on the header plot imo"

Karrin says to Scarry, "Yep! Absolutely. Lives are still continuing, maybe a bird poo'd on your
head."

Scarry trails off, "You'll quickly become like..."

Scarry says, "That one weird uncle who only talks about politics and gets into fights with your
parents."

Meiari questions, "Have... i become that weird uncle?"

Scarry trails off, "Who knows..."

InvestSouthside says, "Yes"

Karrin says to Meiari, "You have. Tighten your suspenders."

Aymeric says, "I've become that weird uncle IRL, I don't need to be that guy here, no thanks."

Karrin asks, "Alright! Any other things before I send you back to play with your stick horses?"

Sparkles says, "Also folks are generally happen "

Meiari adjusts suspenders and gets a pipe.

Karrin states to Sparkles, "I'll let you finish."

Sparkles states, "Also folks are generally happy to explain if you are curious"

Scarry claims, "I need to lay down. Mnwnghg"

Karrin nods.

Eeel states, "I hope you feel better scarry"

Karrin questions, "Shall we send Scarry to bed?"

Sparkles nods.

InvestSouthside claims, "Nah"

Karrin declaims, "Ok, you all have a great week! And let me know if anything comes up. I will be
distracted today, but I'll make sure to check on my screen frequently. Have fun!"

Tatty states, "Awww ok"

Karrin waves.
