The Forest Event is the very reason for my existence! ;D
I haven't been all that active last year, but I have high hopes that r/t will allow for a more consistent presence this time. And I still want to catch Nkiru!
And Nkiru - I just want to capture you!
Where anyone brings out anything character wise for a few nights? -grins-. It'd be interesting to see what people would bring in. Or come up with. ;D

Anybody can get lost/stranded/abandoned in the Forest/Jungle.
Raz,
The room would be TRC, nothing that happened there would count when the event was over. Suppose Taspan wanted to play as Kimba-TRC for the event, and got killed. My character wouldn't be dead. No different if I am playing Kimba-TRC.
Last year, I hadn't been playing a Panther, so it was fun for me to be a different one. But now, that I am in my character, I don't need the additional burden of trying to create something different.
you once tried and failed to keep this one also.... but that was before and this is now..Hmmmm.... I think I caught you, and sold you to someone..... not quite sure who the buyer was anymore, it's a few years back......
That is a twist on the meaning of TRC....Temporary Roleplay Character. Temporarily Roleplayed. Not Borrowed on a timeout...might as well simply make it normal roleplay if you are going to use your normal character.
Nothing new and exciting there. Its just who you normally are.
Raz
I'm gonna be honest here, because, as extended family, you deserve my honesty.
I don't need Raz or anybody else to tell me how to roleplay. If it's all kind of wierd shit going on that would never happen in the room, then it's temporary roleplay, not related to my roleplay reality. It doesn't matter if it's April Fools, or Kajuralia, or an OOC party, or a TRC event going on in a room, it's all outside Gorean roleplay. Alot of the kiddie dumbasses on other sites might call it dualling, but they call TRC dualling anyway, and who gives a squat what they think anyway, any more?
There are two directions. Learning or grab-ass. Rags was all on me last year about TEACH them, and next year they'll be better. I never participated in your FE before, because it was an embarrassment. Raz mentioned about how if you had a Tuchuk event, how it would be same-ole same-ole boring for you. Ok, well imagine instead that there was a Tuchuk event held by those dumbshit Karians you were complaining about. And they asked you to participate, and they were having a load of fun doing dumbshit stuff that was all wrong for Tuchuks. How'd you feel about that?
Panthering is about community, teamwork, the good of the Band. It's not about girls on top for a change. You want to have your annual grab-ass Forest event, have at.
I remember last year, the last day, Rags had Kate captured and helpless. There was alot of potential roleplay and drama there. Can the others rescue her? Should they try? Should he hightail it with his prize, or take his pleasure, or use her as bait to try and snag the whole band? But what did y'all want to do, including Rags? Last day is kill-day, we want to go out and committ senseless brutality on each other. Again, have at.
You want to make a mockery of Panthering, in my opinion. Have at.
Ive tried the event myself. Wasn't my own thing, but awesome that others do like it.
I don't know bro. How about an 'everything' kind of rp. Where anyone brings out anything character wise for a few nights? -grins-. It'd be interesting to see what people would bring in. Or come up with. ;D
i think part of the reason i didnt really jump in last year was because the event was almost the whole month long. procrastination kicked in...letting me think i could always join in later. i know...bad legs, right? -lol-
maybe 2 weeks this year? force folks to well errmmm...shit or get off the pot (metaphorically speaking) -coughs- besides, leaving folks wanting more is always a good thing ~cheeky grin~
and to answer a question from the original post about other ideas and such...
what do you think of say...Port Kar?? i've always wondered about being a She-Urt!!
-rawr-
;D
I'll be honest... If it still goes on this year.. I probably won't be playing in it. It is nothing against the Event. As I already said, I think it's good. But it's not for me. I tried last year. I played two nights. I'm sorry, but it didn't speak to me like it did to others. I liked it, but it wasn't for me. Does that make sense?
As for another Event.. If another comes up, I would be willing to give it a try as well.

I think that deciding on the potential interest in a FE, is deciding the nature and meaning of the term FE.
As for what the rest of Gor thinks of me, that boat has sailed.
If I'm running a lair, it's no different roleplay anyway, whether as Kimba or Kate, just easier as Kimba.
Then don't participate? -shakes head-
Then don't participate? -shakes head-
Nothing gets by you, huh?
If it's grabass, I won't. And if it's learning, I'm doing it because Rags asked me to. There's three kind of women that can't play Panthers worth a damn. Lazy FW, coddled slaves, and bitches who can't control their temper. Nuff said.

but the Event is simply an embarrassment and the participants seem to be having a load of fun doing dumbshit stuff that was all wrong.
I wanted to add- most importantly, I -really- want to still have this event- no matter what it looks like.... wether it be FE or PKE.... or random upside down world- whatever it is, I will be there... [but not with bells on.]
-Takes bets on if Shoko can hit Rick with one of those bells she was given....so far is saying yes. lol-
In past years, there was combat rounds to determine the leadership of the Panthers in the TRC event. I liked that. It wasn't just handed over to someone because their normal character was a panther, or they were already a room leader or whatever. . It was possible for ANY person interested in the event to actually get the job.. LOL.. that was FUN!

In past years, when I wasn't playing, anybody could fight their way to the top. But unless Rags is gonna take me on for it ;), that ain't gonna happen. If I play, I mean.
And nobody thinks you are coddled, woobs.
:'(
:'(
*hugs you*
Is there enough interest to once again do the Annual Forest Event, or would you rather I think of another Event to hold?Alright, I think I got the question.
In the TRC Event, Kimba is just another panther and she has to fight her way to the top just as anyone else would.

No, under the current rules, somebody would have to beat me in combat, before the FE starts, to take over the TRC Lair. Same as I had to beat the previous leader to take over. And there is no woman on Gor (and few men) who can beat me. C'est la vie, c'est le Gor.
As for the rest, the nature of the FE, how it would work, how it might change - that is part of the original question.
And Raz, you need to pay attention to where your authority ends, and the fact that I am outside of it - and quit trying to dictate to me.
This thread is more about me than you are willing to acknowledge, and it's mostly about women taking sides. Some of your MTC women will not participate if they have to deal with me, and many the rest of them are siding with their sisters.
I'm Gramaw Panther. If I'm not the best that ever was, I'm certainly the best that's still around. Playing Forest without the best Panther would be like a Broncos Fantasy Camp without John Elway.
Part of the reason you have this event is because of how much Rags enjoyed it when he spent a month living as a Guest in my Lair. Whether y'all want to acknowledge it or not, there are numerous elements of your Home that came back to you, with Ragnar, from my Home. I owe Rags a huge debt for things he taught me, and the way he has helped me over the years. So I'm not saying that you owe me, to do it my way. I'm saying if you want a Panther in this game who can kill you, who can roleplay the Forest in a way that rises the hackles on the back of your neck - then you want to do it my way. You are not gonna learn what it is about good Forest roleplay that made Rags stay, and made Rags want to do this every year, unless you do it my way.
Rags has been on me all year about what do we want to do this year, how do we want to do it different, what do we want to keep the same. I been putting him off, because I knew I wouldn't know until it got closer to the actual time. Now I know. So Raz, don't be telling me I have no right to frame this question.
One option is we do it my way, in PTJ like I said.
The other option is you play whatever you want to play and call it whatever you want to call it, but don't delude yourselves it has anything to do with a true Forest experience. If you do something else, I might play. But if you do grab-ass Panthers, now that you know better, I'm gonna be offended and try and pretend it never happened.
Some get scared. Others get stiff. Two totally different approaches to Forest roleplay.
