The Royal House of Purrty
"Sophiae Penintae extra tui Clareant" - "Allow your inner wisdoms to shine outwardly clear"
Out of Character Comments on the House of Purrty
The House of Purrty is a new 'guild' - Not only in the sense that it yet to be created in game as a guild, but also as the term 'guild' is used very lightly; as matter of fact the House of Purrty is not actually a guild at all, but a Royal House to which people can join in their Role Play. This House has been around for a year or more already (today's date being 29 June 2006). This House is based on the role play of those who interact around Lolitra Hollinthy Purrty, who's background is that she is born a Princess in the Royal House of Purrty.
To become a 'member' of this Household one will have to Role Play your way in. Yes - Role Play, no one will be admitted without first having met in game with the various characters already connected with the House, and after a time of Role Play, may be 'invited' to some sort of employ with or connection to the House. At the point of starting an in depth Role Play with the characters one will be at some point be directed oocly towards a web site on which we post 'props' such as letters and mini-stories that aid in enhancing the in game experience of the Role Play we enjoy with gusto. After a while, one may be 'officially' offered a post within the House, and if it is then accepted, that player will again be oocly directed to another site that is solely for members of the House, (this site is still in the process of being constructed) where one will be able to see more 'private' issues being 'acted out' in the wonderful world of PlaneShift.
To enable this to be a Royal House, the castle and lands to which the House of Purrty reigns is called Castle Purrty in Printh. Printh is a land that is reachable via caverns but is not directly, in reality, part of the actual lands being created in PlaneShift, so that as the game grows and develops the land of Printh is consistant for the purposes of Role Play - This also means that it is not dependant of the Development of the place in which we play - the Mechanics of PlaneShift - which is ever growing.
The House has a Guild layout so it fits within the mechanics of the world of PlaneShift and the levels that reflect the possible stations within the House are as follows:
High Royal House of Purrty
Royal House of Purrty
Royal Court of Printh
Lower Royal Printhian
Honoured Printhian
Respected Printhian
Printhian
Supplicant Printhian
Where the High Royal House of Purrty is for the King and Queen and Princes and Princesses.
The Royal House of Purrty is for the following stations:
| Grand Duke | -- | Grand Duchess |
| Duke | -- | Duchess |
| Marquise | -- | Marchioness |
| Earl/Count | -- | Countess |
| Viscount | -- | Viscountess |
| Baron | -- | Baroness |
The Royal Court of Purrty is for the following stations:
| Lord of Court | -- | Lady of Court |
The Lower Royal Printhian is for the following stations:
| Lord of Printh | -- | Lady of Printh |
And the rest are as follows:
| Honoured Printhian | = | Honoured in Printh |
| Respected Printhian | = | Respected in Printh |
| Printhian | = | Citizen to Printh |
| Supplicant Printhian | = | Known in Printh |
Despite the above listed 'Stations' within the House of Purrty there are many roles that one can play, such as Knights, Royal and Ordinary Guards, Cooks, Maids, Rangers, Mages and so on and so forth (There are loads of things that you can find out about by Role Playing with our members) - all of which can move up the stations within the House.
(As of 29th June 06) The Current Members are:
Raouldir Paxar -- Lord Chancellor and current head of the House of Purrty
(To find out why he is - you will have to Role Play with a member)
Lolitra Hollinthy Purrty -- Princess and currently Duchess to the House of Purrty
Shauri Sut'lar -- Countess to the House of Purrty (yet to be inaugerated - a celebration soon to be Role Played)
Zinnius Zann -- Major and Gaurdor to the House of Purrty (The Gaurdor being the head tactician and governor of the guards and armys to the House of Purrty)
Cayla -- Phsyician and Lady of Printh
Bromwyth Galtox -- Prince of the House of Galtox and hopeful suiter to the hand of Lolitra Purrty.
Well now we, my wife and I hope that our 'guild' or rather 'House' is appealing to your desire to Role Play with us, irrestpective as to whether or not you wish to become part of the House of Purrty.

:thumbup:
I would like to be the first to respond and say what an exellent job. Such detail and thought has so clearly gone into this. I foresee many adventures ahead... times of light & darkness as the path reveals itself.
I cannot contain my excitment! \\o// :woot:
-
Whew! I finally made it and read through this wonderful post. Congratulations on The House Of Purrty and may you prosper.
-
Very nice Lolitra. Can't wait to see how this works into the world of Planeshift
*Goes off to find ways to manipulate this turn of events to his favour*
Oh cool, I'm connected to it...You see
(Enter overly complicated story)
So I'm the son of Shauri...and...my kid is Shauri's daughter...kinda :D
Hehe, I love complicated Roleplays :D
-
[OOC] Im new to the game (havent played yet because of the update testing but... Its good to know that there is a guild/house that isnt all (we get your lvl high) etc. But a good ole roleplaying. After the first couple of weeks i might start looking into joining a guild.
-
Thank you so far - for your interest...
Please note that claiming to be sons or daughters of already established characters - without their consent oocly, probably won't hold water... But sounds like fun to Role Play none the less. (But yes Waylander it would be interesting to see Galenar... you as your son... so to speak.)
-
Hehe... Yeah, considering Galenar's soul is in Cadoras' old body....let's just say it's complicated.
I'm probably going to start roleplaying as Galenar, I am mostly just brainstorming to think of different ways to play him.
And you and me both know it's more than a simple claim :)
Nurahk on the other hand, though it can be argued that he is Galenar, will most likely not get mixed up in the house. He is most powerful right where he is.

PROCLAMATION
(A dwarf in royal colors dressed,
shouts in a voice of brass,
whose timbre like a hammerstrike,
might pose a threat to ear and glass.)
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! One and all!
Heed the words that I now call.
A proclamation, loud and clear.
I beg of thee, to lend an ear.
If thou wouldst have adventure, thrills,
fight evil, or just spinal chills,
Apply for a position withal,
To the Royal House of Purrty!
To seek a post within the castle,
send a message through this vassal. (http://ugo.sinet.it/darkarts/index.php/RolePlay/Guilds)
Or find thee Raouldir, Shauri, Zinn,
and ask of them how to begin,
in the Royal House of Purrty!
Her Royal Highness Lolitra,
the lovely, graceful Enkidukai,
will choose to grant or to deny
petitions, if thou dost apply,
to the Royal House of Purrty!
So if thy mettle thou wouldst test,
and claim a place beside the best,
don't stand there like a brainless plinth!
Come join the staff of Castle Printh.
Serve the Royal House of Purrty!

Welcome one and all
To my tale, which, though not tall,
Shall no doubt interest those at the ball,
And maybe encore you shall call.
Today I met a lovely lady,
Dressed like princess in tale fairy,
for she indeed was verily,
A princess among us all.
Not knowing such I asked
Where one might find repast,
And, so I should not fast,
She answered graciously.
It was then she told me of her nature
And I, curtsying with pale feature,
Acknowledged her finery and culture
And implored "please don't smite me".
To which she answered verily,
"No harm done to me or thee,
For you it was not done knowingly,
And you were not ungracious."
"My thanks, my lady," I cried outloud
For I had feard drawing the crowd
To witness me aqiering deaths shroud
Upon some gibbit or other.
Finaly she did me ask
That I revisit her if I must
For dire need or sweet repast
she would deign to help me.
Acting upon this request
I did say, "Yes, yes, yes!
I whould love to be your guest.
Most gracious lady be.
And so I did take my leave then
Clucking with joy like mother hen
For none could me sad just when
My lady talked to me.
Ooc: Yes, guy playing girl, I know. I'm not an irresponsible RPer, however. My character is Phylis Demesher and She was invited to join this wonderfull guild. I am looking forwards to seeing how this might lead. Anyway, just posting here to say I am interested wholehartedly and have read the thread so far. I shall keep observing, obviously, and shall revisit the princess as soon as I can conveniently. :)
Edit: Just to clarify, the poem details my first meeting with "My Lady". :)
-
[what an absolutely devine post... thank you Phylis (aka Dark Stalion)]
[Also thank you Verrliit for the town crier.. fantastic!]
[Thank you Sangwa for your little ditty to.. encouraging.]
-
[His was better. Don't know what came over me. I just seemed to start thinking in rhyme. That's never happened before. See,t his is what house Purrty does!! it drives you to think in rhyme and speak in riddle and all sorts of havoc will ensue. Can't wait. :D]
-
Sounds real nice. I'm sure it'll help PS with in its quest for roleplayness.
And now a frail attempt at elevating myself to these previews posts' standards:
"Kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall.
Avoid such demise
By standing tall.
Keep your sight
Aimed for ambition.
Raise the tide,
Claim domination.
Know the allies
Among your foes.
Play with guile
And save your toes."
-
There are many things happening with the House of Purrty, please take the time to look at the HOUSE thread
-
Working on various alliances... a draught of it if you care to look.
The whole idea is to create a totally immersive Role Play setting, there is no expectation of alliance members to work or give ooc information at all. Basically, The Royal House of Purrty in character would palm out its training in RP terms... Guild secrets, or other ooc benifits would not be included in this charter, it is solely for RP.

I do so hate to be cynical, but... I knew it.
good names and rp'ers have been leaving lately, you weren't the only one who had the feeling :(
The only thing i'm upset about is that you're leaving and not that i weren't included in your ending story...

Very true. Although I'm sure our opinion of "good" varies.

GOING AWAY ON HOLIDAY. so
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007 ALL

We have been back for a few weeks now, and have have this to post...
Dear all
We have had to re-evaluate our recruiting methods, due to losing some great RPer's to other guilds who just recruit without any time of Pre-Roleplay. where-as we used to do at least a week of Roleplay before we would consider that person for induction as a 'Supplicant' we now use a 'buffer' method of role play between the leading characters of the House. If that person shows interest to join the House, they are directed ic to either myself or Zinn, (or Shauri if she were still in game - I have not seen her for some time which is a pitty as she is missed).
They would then have to Roleplay with them. Depending on how that RP goes... is whether or not they are then invited. If there is still a concern as to their 'motives' for joining the House, they may be set a task, even so, as a Supplicant, it does not mean that they are safe within the guild... they could at any time be dissmissed from the House, for their Conduct as a Character - or for reports of GODMODDING which is something we as Players do not tolorate.
I hope that this helps our members understand how they can introduce others to join...
Lolitra.
-
Those are smart implementations to your recruiting system. Some time ago the Empire also came to the conclusion that the trial method is the best way to effectively recruit, as it creates a sense of belonging in the soon to be members, preventing them (most times) from joinning other guilds while on their way to comprehend our guild.
Still, I don't think it'll make it too easy on you. The Empire has had difficulty in recruiting players even with this, as it seems roleplaying isn't as attractive as the hack 'n slash feel of the game. Unfortunely we have guilds recruiting potential roleplayers and turning them into brainless players.
It's been slow in the Empire, but we have got a splendid team of old and new players alike, so waiting is not a problem.
-
[Re: Inactive members:
We have several members who have been inactive for more than a month, if you wish to remain please contact Lolitra or Zinn either in game or via pm as soon as possible or membership will be revoked]
-
The world always seems darkest - just before dawn rises. Incidently, who is this dawn that she casts such a heavy shadow?
-
Roleplaying is an effort and part of the reason roleplaying guild have it hard is becuase membership also restricts roleplaying options. It's obviously realistic and so many good roleplayers will do this, but the people only moderately activeve might fight it to much of a challenge ;)
-
An effort?, really?. I only ever have to make an effort to take a break to ingest substance. Also to keep my imagination fluid I play many other rp games such as NWN2 etc...
-
All guilds are roleplaying. "guilds" that don't roleplay aren't guilds. They're just errors that'll be fixed with time.
-
I don't need to seek inspiration from other games.. I have enough in my head, or I just nick it off of my husband hehehe.
I am only doing cleaning as I prepare to move onto a new era of Role Play for The Royal House of Purrty...
-
The Nurahk era!
Sorry, I had to.
All the same, I look forward to seeing what your brilliant mind comes up with next Lolitra.
-
/me shoots Nurahk
The wannabe Emperor who would be King ;)
-
Lolitra's concern would be 'what would he do if he did..?'
80% of charm could spell out harm.

I don't want to be Emperor, trust me, I imagine it's quite the annoying job :P

Oh, but where is the fun in life if not in risk? :P
-
There is a big question I have, and that I wonder why nobody ever raised. Some time ago I started an organization idea on a Republic, but it couldn't fit with the Settings and that was clearly stated by the criticisms, as Yliakum has only one octarchic government and is isolated from what lies beyond it. I did some adaptations to the original idea to make it more believable then.
Thus, where does a monarchy of Enkidukais fit in a land ruled by Octarchs and without any contact with other lands?
http://www.planeshift.it/government.html (http://www.planeshift.it/government.html)
-
Not everything is owned by the Government. There are wild lands, and lots of stuff beyond the labyrinths where kingdoms could be settled. I'm speaking about logic thought though: considering that if there is space + people that follow + someone that call itself queen/king then you have a kingdom.
PS devs might have different ideas.
-
/me points to the "Yliakum proverbs" thread.
Printh is where a Purrty lives.
;) -- Play with us! :D

This is one thing that was taken into account when creating this House or Guild, if you read the first post you will see that the lands of PRINTH are not part of the same stalagtight, but a neighbouring one not as large.
And as LigH said I say DITTO.
:P
-
the lands of PRINTH are not part of the same stalagtight, but a neighbouring one not as large.
I don't need to answer on what was already answered regarding whether other "stalactites" or lands beyond Yliakum have any contact with it and are known by the inhabitants of Yliakum in any form beyond legends or not.
Yliakum is the entire cave with all of the different levels. As far as knowledge goes, there are no other worlds for the people living inside.
(http://www.planeshift.it/pix/yliakum_map.jpg)
Of course, if the Octarchs rule the lands in a more or less feudal fashion(with several principalities and semi-autonomous "kingdoms"), it could be a possibility. Otherwise it would be a proto-Kingdom.
-
Right. Only people wouldn't call it proto.
-
The Bronze Doors, located along the perimeter of the first level, access the Stone Labyrinths, a complex of both natural and artificial caves as ancient as the town itself. It is sure that some of them lead to places similar to Yliakum and even to the surface
I miss the days when this (http://www.planeshift.it/setting.html) was required reading. ;)
There's nothing wrong with Printh being a different stalactite.
Just that Purrty would have to have some knowledge of the Stone Labyrinths (That no official people do) and some pretty powerful guards.
-
I can assure all, that the settings and history of PRINTH are not at loggerheads with that of PlaneShift. Yes, I role play Lolitra as one who knows a 'safe' passage through the labyrinths... It also helps to explain away my sometimes long absences from Hydlaa. To try and pick faults in this is rather sad... just because one is having difficulty in fitting ones own story into the planeshift setting.
The whole story of Lolitra and her sister, and the setting of Printh was only created after considerable playing, and reading within the realms of PlaneShift - and yes, the settings page was essential reading for this.
-
My wife would like me to send out her apologies for not being able to play with her usual crowd of great RPers. She is currently in Hospital. She wishes that they allowed computers in the hospital, but alas they do not. We do not know when she will be allowed home.
Her character Lolitra, Queen of Printh, has therefore taken some time to go back to her homelands Printh, leaving her trusted Duchess, Shauri Zann and her Royal Advisor of the Guard, Guardor Marshal Zinnius Zann, along with her Ambassador, Lord Gag Harmond to attend to all matters of state pertaining to Yliakum.
Best wishes to all her other Friends - you know who you are - Sorry I don't.
Her husband.
HoodedOracle.
-
Tell her Nurahk sends his best wishes :)
Get back soon ;)
-
Best of luck, today wouldn't be soon enough for her to get well.
Hope she isn't worrying, the team she left in charge is more than capable.
-
Awww.... I hope she gets better soon. Tell her teh Master Ranger said hi :D
-
HoodedOracle,
It seems to me not that long ago Lady Lolitra told me she was feeling better. I am sorry to hear she is in the hospital. Please let us know how she is doing. I will miss her greatly until she returns. I wish you the best also. It cannot be easy for you either. My prayers are with both of you.
Leama
-
Best wishes, take care, gets lots of rest, we will be here when you get back.
-
Blessed be.
-
Best wishes to your wife, I really hope she gets well soon.
-
Thank you all for you kind comments and best wishes.
I am home now, but still not quite there. I will have to go back to hospital. PS is a place for me to escape my pains and RL worries, so I hope to see you ingame to play. Where I appreciate your care for my wellbeing and thank you for it, Please don't mull on my ailments in game as it tends to ruin my escapism.
Once more - thank you soo much for your kindness - it means a lot to me.
Lolitra
-
Having been almost directed here, and seeing there have been replies before mine, I convert what initially was to be a PM, into a public post.
When all words have been already said by those who posted before, there's the chance left to let another sing the feelings.
On a day like today:
http://www.mediafire.com/?3mn5ygpnwzh
And, if lyrics were once edited, they need to, once more, for this is not a goodbye.
"Goodbye Norma Jean" could be, maybe, changed by "Get well Jane Doe"
but others seem adequate the way they are, already:
"And they made you change your name" for it is under another name that people gets to you.
"Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did"
I don't know how to properly adequate this one, however, its meaning is true. For, the same way Nilrem lives in me, so do all the nice chars I met and, with them, their players.
And, as if the song writer was just starting to this of the roleplay, the unavoidable OOC/IC mixing:
"And I would have liked to know you.
But I was just a kid."
Nilrem.

I would like to post a huge
THANK YOU
to all those who helped me to retain the house I use for RP as my Royal House in Hydlaa...
People such as Donari, Yanlora, Miaua, Gag and many more who names have not yet been given me.
This guild house is an honour to have, and I am deeply touched at the support I received from fellow RPers for obtaining it.
I would like it to be easier to have guests - but it is only by holding a key that you can get in [unless you are lucky to be able to via the bug]. I would prefer that it is by guild membership, that way we could have you as a temporary member - or guest to enter.
Once more - thank you so much.
-
You can always have extra keys on hand to offer to guests. I'm sure anybody you invite into your house would give them back :)
That is, if you can get extra keys.
Either way,
Congratulations :)
And, on another note, it was a pleasure to see you ingame again.
-
For now, I assume we have enough keys to share and to lend.
But most of all...
I am happy that the whole thing went well. I don't know how I would have had to explain to Lolitra that her house was auctioned off for "not paying taxes" no one ever claimed.
You may know that her player is in a weak healthy state; I was really afraid that this event could hurt her and ruin her curing... Losing a good roleplayer would be by far worse than not being the first guild with an own house!
-
I don't believe anyone concerned with their health would care about something IG. But that's me and my rational thought. :P
I believe a change of the topic post should be in order, to update this information (The Guild House). I'll also point towards the member list, and possibly some other information there requiring some maintenance (since the last update was a year ago).
-
Well Lolitra is a very dedicated roleplayer and this house has been used for so long as her RP house, that it would sorta come as a blow to both her and all of her RPing. I would find myself personally angered :P
[angered for her loss and the loss of the RP we've had since I started RPing with her and her group of friends. not for if I lost a house :P]
-
It would not have been the end of the world for me to have missed out on the house, but I am deeply touched at the support. For my health is far more important that this game, but the people who play characters are fantastic in their support to me.
as to the update, I will get round to that when I have more time to put the needed professionalism to it.
-
Farren, keep in mind this is a testing version of the final game to be. All current role play being held may be discarded in the future.
A small change is all that's needed. Add that you have a house, and where is it at and then change the memberlist (if it actually needs changing.) Or wait until you can get at it more professionally. :P
-
Lolitra I am glad to see you back in game and I look forward to many more RP's with you.
Congratulations on the house, which is lovely.
As for out of game concerns you know my thoughts are always with you.
-
I won't tolerate further sympathy and kindness. No. Not on my watch.
Please use the Guild Forum more sensibly. Nothing wrong with taking things lightly, but after a while it becomes bothersome for people reading this to actually find useful information this way.
One thing I've found very odd since the beginning is the usage of the guild system for the House of Purrty. While the Guild Chat function seems to be a very valid reason for adapting to the system, I believe the ranks could better be worked on if they weren't to abide to the strict 9 Rank policy imposed.
Using the description and a symbol system only, you could divide the several hierarchic tiers within the House of Purrty in a very original way. It would also improve the emphasis on function, as the hierarchic position would be just as visible as the function the character plays.
The general story of the guild and the plot lines developed by its members are not quite of my taste, as they depend too much on foreign concepts such as Printh and spirits (Hagarath.) Still, the members within always succeed at providing an enjoyable interaction within the game's boundaries.
Unfortunately the current Game Moderation does not provide help for players to decide which paths to take on their roleplaying.
Like I've noticed in some other threads, there is the needless enforcement of Role Playing unto members. Everyone playing PlaneShift should roleplay, so you shouldn't need to recall players about that. That is similar to requesting players to actually have characters.
The Promotional Thread itself does not divide the information in a clear way, though I can't see any information lacking. Separating and highlighting certain parts would turn this Promotional Thread into a better reference to the House of Purrty's workings.
I haven't made these critiques before merely because I didn't feel like. No special reason. :P
-
Whereby I understand your 'comment' on the pleasantries posted here... I cannot stop others posting what they wish/feel.
I note your oppinion on my 'ranking' and it is not as simple as you seem to think to do it your way. The whole idea of Royalty is status, not job.
I am sorry that the story is not to your taste... I refer to Printh so as NOT to fall foul of the settings in the game... and so I have a place to retreate in character when away from the game for periods of time. Hagarath was not a spirit, it was a living curse, and many Role Players use the terminology of Spirits, Souls etc. Hagarath was made to give me and who chose to play with me an enemy to fight and defeat... that is part of my Character's history now... The orb, which is spoken of in the afforementioned Chest RP is designed about the current settings of Yliakum as best I could.
And I have noticed that some things that I started in RP have actually been made in game now... Am I to be chastised for this too?
When I started RP here, there was little to go with, so with my husband's help we studied the boundaries set and came up with a story that we thought would fit and not be affected by the development of Yliakum, and would sit alongside it allowing for fun in RP.
Unfortunately the current Game Moderation does not provide help for players to decide which paths to take on their roleplaying.
I really don't know what to say to this comment... Surely it is up to them to use their imagination?
-
I won't tolerate further sympathy and kindness. No. Not on my watch.
Please use the Guild Forum more sensibly. Nothing wrong with taking things lightly, but after a while it becomes bothersome for people reading this to actually find useful information this way.
According to the Guild forum rules we are allowed 2 threads for guild business but in the interests of brevity have decided to use the one for both information and discussion
One thing I've found very odd since the beginning is the usage of the guild system for the House of Purrty. While the Guild Chat function seems to be a very valid reason for adapting to the system, I believe the ranks could better be worked on if they weren't to abide to the strict 9 Rank policy imposed.

We already have ranks within the Official Game ranks with their own symbols as explained in the opening post so I dont quite see what you mean
The general story of the guild and the plot lines developed by its members are not quite of my taste, as they depend too much on foreign concepts such as Printh and spirits (Hagarath.)
Evil spirits and chars abound I could point to one with three souls as an example and is the concept of Printh any different from that of an Empire?
Unfortunately the current Game Moderation does not provide help for players to decide which paths to take on their roleplaying.
I fail to see what bearing Game Moderation has to a Guild thread nor to the path one chooses to take
Like I've noticed in some other threads, there is the needless enforcement of Role Playing unto members. Everyone playing PlaneShift should roleplay, so you shouldn't need to recall players about that. That is similar to requesting players to actually have characters.
(Emphasis mine) You answered your own critique, because unfortunately not everyone playing PlaneShift does roleplay so I do not see the problem with reinforcing the fact we are a Roleplay Guild
The Promotional Thread itself does not divide the information in a clear way, though I can't see any information lacking. Separating and highlighting certain parts would turn this Promotional Thread into a better reference to the House of Purrty's workings.
This thread is purely to give a taster of what the Royal House of Purrty is like, its not to give detailed information our website is for that and if anyone really wishes to gain a deeper understanding of our workings then just Roleplay with us

The whole idea of Royalty is status, not job.
In your first post you show some interest in detailing jobs as well. But you know that better than I do, I was merely considering the guild system imposition of 9 ranks something that you could go without. I certainly don't know better than you though, considering it is your guild we are talking about.
What you come up with is entirely your responsibility. As it is mine to respond to my tastes. I don't like foreign concepts and I see Hagarath (who is a character that is hardly possible to be played by players, considering its powers) and Printh (which existence is not, at least currently, expected within the game) as foreign concepts. That's my opinion, as it is your opinion that you should give complement in where you think the system lacks: namely the existence of kingdoms and magical characters of immense power.
This brings us to the last point. Game Moderation and Guilds (respectively yours, as we are on this thread.) Imagination is hardly the relevant part of the equation here, as the Game Moderators should have conscience of the reasoning behind setting. I merely referred game moderation because, as it is, neither of us is wrong or right. And I like knowing.
Whereby I understand your 'comment' on the pleasantries posted here... I cannot stop others posting what they wish/feel.
Indeed you can't. But I do have the authority to remove the excess, hence why I mentioned the incident.
EDIT TO ANSWER LANSER:
According to the Guild forum rules we are allowed 2 threads for guild business but in the interests of brevity have decided to use the one for both information and discussion
Speaking of friendship is hardly discussing or informing about guilds.
Evil spirits and chars abound I could point to one with three souls as an example and is the concept of Printh any different from that of an Empire?
The Empire has no castle. We are currently a "Proto-Empire" so to say, as we are still looking for our own lands. Nurahk is a player, not a Guild.

That's the purpose? Great.
I fail to see any relevance in the other points you made.

thanking someone and expressing friendship fro allowing them to take part in a guild roleplay is now wrong?

the proto empire is a new development, Printh is a Kingdom not just a castle and Hagarath is a Player not a guild
noun
1. a group of nations or peoples ruled over by an emperor, empress, or other powerful sovereign or government: usually a territory of greater extent than a kingdom, as the former British Empire, French Empire, Russian Empire, Byzantine Empire, or Roman Empire.
2. a government under an emperor or empress.

*sighs* Having 3 or 4 topics about it is tiring and a good reason for deletion.

The Proto-Empire is not a new development. You are just seemingly not well informed.
I understand that Printh is more than a Castle, hence why I corrected my post. My point still remains valid though.
Hagarath's story is used by a guild, not singly by a player. Nurahk's three souls thingy could as well be called schizophrenia and it didn't come as relevant in any of the Empire's story.
As I fail to see the relevance of most of your post
I'm sorry, I really don't mean to bother. I thought it would be nice to note my opinions so that you could do with them whatever you felt like. I did not ask you to acknowledge them, or to question them any further. If you didn't want me to illustrate my opinions any further, all you needed to do is ask. You still can.
I don't understand where this need to have my opinion not count stems from.
I hope this can have some use to you. That is always why I post in this forum.
EDIT: When I said "I won't tolerate further sympathy and kindness. No. Not on my watch." I did mean there were enough thank yous and hugs, but I was trying to do it in a comic way. I'm making it clear because some people have no sense of humour.
-
I think that this has gone on enough.
However I would like to clarify that Hagarath - was a played by my husband and was not all powerful as you seem to think. It was all RPed and all players had a choice of how they were effected by his 'ability' to cause illusion. Basically, you faught your own fears... and was a something that ended a long time ago, I just RP my character as still 'scarred' by that encounter. The power was definately not fantastical... there are simple ways to explain it - some could say that hypnosis was the tool.. perhaps.. some magic illusion thrown in.
EDIT
[note at this point in time - when that RP was done - the ingame mechanics and magic was very limited... with bearly 3 or four spells]
As to Printh... I could have claimed that I came from lands in Yliakum that had not yet been made, that after warring, I ruled over, but that would not have sat with the settings. With that in mind, the growth of the EMPIRE may well be against settings, as it could be seen as a threat by the Vingisme [hmm spelling] and Octarchs, and the Town and City Guard may well have been set out to 'outlaw' them to protect their ways if they were not inanimate NPC's.
EDIT
[I would like to add, that Printh is set in a vulcanic slyle setting alongside Yliakum - so that when Yliakum develops more, and becomes a lot larger - it may suffer a natural disaster.. and thus not be a problem with settings any longer, that was our plan from the start.]
As to people giving pleasantries... I am greateful for them as this thread is one of the few I care to use here, it helps me in ways I don't wish to explain.
I do appreciate your comments, but I wonder if you are saying - Empire Members should not participate in my little imaginative RP's? Which I am hoping not.. as I do so enjoy RPing with you, and your fellow members.
Oh, and I am not aware of being able to 'delete' or 'clean up' any posts made by others?... as I would possibly move them to one post incorperated as ''quotes'' to clean this all up.

Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a little breather here before this gets out of hand further.
Sangwa has a difficult task, as Guild Moderator, and that is to advice and guide all Planeshift guilds so that they can be the best. I have a character in the Dark Empire so I know Sangwa is pretty demanding in the area of Guilds. He pushes himself and his guild as far as he can .. and then pushes some more. That's why the Dark Empire as an organisation is constantly changing, improving and growing even if it's members aren't.
All I see him do here is give advice and suggest what he would do with the guild. I admit the post that started this seemed a bit bossy .. but for those who know Sangwa, they should realize he was joking. :P His advice was decent in my eyes. Maybe it would be better to split this thread up, move the roleplay posts to the in-game roleplay section of the forums and keep the guild thread tidier?
I'm not going to address the nature of the roleplay because if we start removing all stories that are going beyond the settings, we'd kill off 90% of the RP. Instead I've learned to trust on the people who do go outside the settings to keep things fun and fair for all people involved. Lolitra, I know you're an intelligent person and I know you only want to enjoy yourself and have others do the same so even though some of your things go beyond settings material, I'm not worried about it in this context. I'm certain that Sangwa knows this as well but I can also understand that he's worried about others following your example who are less interested in other players and only in having a powerful character. Unlike me, Sangwa has an official position to fill here so he can't judge by double standards without people holding it against him. :P
Now I command you two to shake hands and be friends again! :P (yes, more friendship descends over this thread ...)
-
Let me keep it recorded here that my opinions are given as critiques and hold no personal or social meaning. I have no intentions to upset anyone, much less people I esteem like Lolitra and Hokinon. Like Zan mentioned, I sometimes sound serious, but I'm never tense when writing these things.
I will not pursue my previous opinions, as you believe you have had enough of them, Lolitra. But I'll address some new business you have introduced that does not concern the Royal House of Purrty but rather the workings of Planeshift and of my own organization and its relation towards your guild.
With that in mind, the growth of the EMPIRE may well be against settings
That is a topic very evident in our structure. We have kept it a very dynamic one so that we can adapt to what the developers and moderators feel like. We figure that while we have no imperial expression (conquering, etc.) the government (and moderators) would have very little on us. Should they still have, there are obvious alternatives to keep the Imperial Guilds working while hiding the "Imperial" tag.
I do appreciate your comments, but I wonder if you are saying - Empire Members should not participate in my little imaginative RP's? Which I am hoping not.. as I do so enjoy RPing with you, and your fellow members.
My "comments" do not place me in the opposite side of the field... At least I hope they don't. I enjoy role playing with your and your fellows, and the events the Royal House of Purrty surrounds itself in are some of the most entertaining around. My opinion about your plot and guild devising has no godly status to it: it simply honestly speaks of what I think. The value it has is entirely up to you, and the use you make of it will be completely respected by my person.
I really hope you haven't been offended by this and keep playing with my members and myself. It'd be dire to sacrifice that.
Oh, and I am not aware of being able to 'delete' or 'clean up' any posts made by others?... as I would possibly move them to one post incorperated as ''quotes'' to clean this all up.
If you, or anyone else, wants their Threads cleaner... Just ask. I'll have to guarantee that no discussion is lost and that everyone's points of view remain accessible.
While Zan is right about my worries, my priority here was really helping you by sharing my opinion, like I expect people to do with my own projects.
Moderation Note: I have deleted a post that targeted me and the fact that I criticized this the way I did. This has nothing to do with the guild itself so I removed it. I will do so with every other post that will be likely to escalate into personal discussions, or that fails to contribute with anything to this thread. Anyone displeased with my moderation should report me to one of the general moderators, thank you.
-
This thread has become a mess - which was one of the valid points made recently, therefore I am intending to 'quote in order' relevant posts to explain our use of the Guild system for our RP, and Guild based Events - (which are always open to others to join in on) into new one, and have this one turned into a general 'natter about our guild' thread.
I will add that I have run my wife's Role Play about Printh (which I did help create) past the settings team - a number of them - and it would appear there is no issue as it stands.
Also the Character Hagarath - which I played some years ago - and is now deleted [though I think someone has registered the name to stop someone reviving him] and that Role Play is long since ended - though the Curse is still feared by Lolitra. I played him, and I hope he was fun for other to play along with, essentially he was only as powerful as you thought him to be, i.e. your fears are only as scary as you let them be.
Here are a couple of quotes that my wife said to Sangwa in PM he says should be posted - at first I felt best not to - but I have reconsidered.
As to the way we use the levels... it is nothing to do with what others can see is there job... for that is not what it is about, Royalty and Status, who bows to whom... is what it is all about... Etiquette and if you have noticed, Lolitra struggles with the 'lack of this' in Yliakum - it is part of her make up.
Lolitra
Sangwa,
I was very upset at it. It read to me
'you're a mess, oh and while I am here, your ideas are all faulty, this is wrong... and that is not even in the settings... oh and you godmod'
Lolitra
That is how it made her feel.
HOODEDORACLE.
(Husband)
[EDIT]
I realise I have done something not nice too - Where my wife may have felt bad about all this, Sangwa did not intend it that way.
Moderating is not an easy task - and we all make mistakes in how we word things and sometimes omit to clarify what is actually intended to be said, I omitted to add something. Sangwa is by no means a mean or uncaring person, his reasoning is actually quite sound - once you get past some of his odd humour - and on the whole I find has good points to make.
-
Thanks for posting this, as it has allowed me to notice that you've been running your plots through in-game moderation, or overall accountable opinions in the area of settings.
I still think you've misunderstood my opinions in the area of having a good Promotional Thread (topic thread) and about ranks, but I'll wait for an opportunist time to voice it better.
-
Moving the posts about the coming "Chest" plot to a new thread could possibly have been a less noisy approach ... if this board software is able to. This information may not fit well in a Guild thread... but surely in an "Ingame roleplaying events" area.
-
I wasn't bothered by the posts about the coming "Chest" plot. This is a good place to note them. Either way, you'd have to ask Neko to do that, as I can't move things from one Forum to another.
I was simply distasteful of the 3 or 4 successive posts that didn't mention activity, information or allowed basis for discussion. I didn't think they were excessive, but I thought they could had become. Hence why I intervened like I did.
But we really shouldn't discuss moderation at length in this thread. And as my post is pretty useless to this point, I'd like to think this to be an opportunist time to mention what I meant to...
This time I'll try to do it better, promised!
I'm content with the information I was given about the storyline. But I still find some structural choices confusing... Not wrong. Here they are:
While this Thread certainly contains important information throughout, it also contains a Promotional Thread topic that could be tuned up. If like Lanser said the objective is merely to give a taster, I still think it could be improved. That is because the best Promotional Threads I've seen contain a nice way of distributing information to allow for a quick reference read and contain flavour texts and images that add a very nice touch to them. While you do possess an interesting image, I believe you should try to use some of your members' imagination to come up with a nice flavour text. Maybe a piece of the Royal House of Purrty's history?
I have nothing against the way the ranks have been established. However, I believe you'd benefit from a less strict rank naming policy, one that didn't have to please the 9 ranks imposed by the system. Let's see what you have.
The House has a Guild layout so it fits within the mechanics of the world of PlaneShift and the levels that reflect the possible stations within the House are as follows:
High Royal House of Purrty
Royal House of Purrty
Royal Court of Printh
Lower Royal Printhian
Honoured Printhian
Respected Printhian
Printhian
Supplicant Printhian
Where the High Royal House of Purrty is for the King and Queen and Princes and Princesses.
The Royal House of Purrty is for the following stations:
| Grand Duke | -- | Grand Duchess |
| Duke | -- | Duchess |
| Marquise | -- | Marchioness |
| Earl/Count | -- | Countess |
| Viscount | -- | Viscountess |
| Baron | -- | Baroness |
The Royal Court of Purrty is for the following stations:
| Lord of Court | -- | Lady of Court |
The Lower Royal Printhian is for the following stations:
| Lord of Printh | -- | Lady of Printh |
And the rest are as follows:
| Honoured Printhian | = | Honoured in Printh |
| Respected Printhian | = | Respected in Printh |
| Printhian | = | Citizen to Printh |
| Supplicant Printhian | = | Known in Printh |
I think that the last ranks are not very like the first ones. They do not possess titles (like Duke, etc.) and instead seem to be like place holders that make the guild have its nine ranks (or nearly nine ranks :P). In other words, in the ranks you have "Houses" and then you have "Titles" when I think you should either opt for having simply houses (e.g. rank Honoured Printhian be named "Printhian Commoners" or something of the like [I'm not very familiar with your naming options, though I find them good.]) or simply ranks (e.g. Duke, Earl, Queen, Commoner, Earl, Page, etc.). The previous would require that you used less ranks in the guild system and the second would require more. Which is why I believe you shouldn't abide to the guild system.
This is merely my own approach at improving the Royal House of Purrty's ranking system. You'll probably be able to give a good use to my opinion, even it means not applying it.
-
Your comments are noted, but - you seem to miss the whole point. They are titles of status, titles that indicate where you are in the 'pecking' order of the Courts of Royalty. One could be a sergeant in the guard and not be a lord, or if he was honoured by the King/Queen may suddenly become a Lord... by receiving a medal or two - yet remains a sergeant, also, one may be just a scribe.. but become one of such renown, that the King/Queen might feel the bestowing of House or Courtly Responsibilities... say that of a Count or Earl, or even Duchess, which would immediately move you up that pecking order. Also, there may be a chance for Players to start a new character, born out of the family [once Lolitra has a heir] who will be straight away in the High Royal House... Though there are lesser Princes and Princesses who would only be placed in the Royal House due to their removed placing from the line of Heir to the Throne.
Royalty is not easily slipped into any pattern of 9 ranks. This - I feel is the best of a bad bunch of possibilities. If I had loads of members - and there was a way to be a member of multiple 'guilds' one would show the Status and the other sub-guilds would show their role... But I don't see this happening in the near future.
In relation to doing 'flashy' forum posts with graphics and other niceties - If I had the time, or the volume of members... well things might be different. As it stands I prefer to spend my energies playing, as that is where I draw most fun.

Moderation Note:
As the House of Purrty grew in size and history, this thread became filled with plenty of information that isn't useful as far as Guild/Organization discussion is concerned. So I've contacted Lolitra and we agreed to split the topic and create a sister thread in the In-Game Roleplay Events section, named [RP - The Royal House of Purrty - UPDATES] (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=33134.0). In this new thread you have all the information about the roleplay events and plot lines that the House of Purrty has been developing,
It should be pretty easy knowing where to post now; just be sure to use the forums orderly.
Thanks!
(PS: I've tried to make the two threads as consistent and coherent as possible. There was plenty of information and sometimes I was confused about where something would be placed, but I followed a simple logic: every side conversation that started with RP issues was included in the new roleplay thread. I only deleted 2 posts, which I couldn't find a place. They contained less than a paragrapher.)

[Lolitra is not happy that her House name has been taken into use by strangers on posters about the Hydlaa City. Has instructed her subjects and friends to deface such posters or remove them.]

[Ixala is seemingly a changed girl... showing signs of kindness to others... what is she upto - or is it for real?]
[The Mask is still in the care of Farren - now Lolitra is wanting it destroyed... strangers are asking over it... some willing to kill for it]

From: Edig Kaibu
Dear Ma'am,
I want to thank you for contacting me today. I have "read" up on some things and have a better understanding now. (I know it was ooc, but thought I'd try this and see where it goes.)
I just wanted you to know and that I appreciated your contacting me by Glyph. Please feel free to contact me again in the future if you have need of me or if you need something delivered. I run good well.
If I may enquire ask though, I am wondering what is the proper protocol to address the esteemed persons in the Royal House? When I met the Queen at the book thingy, I found myself seriously lacking in p-r-o-t-o-c-o-l.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
Yours in Service,

OOC NOTE
The Layout of the Royal House of Purrty has been updated. yeay..
If you do RP with us in our House, please take note of the 'RP SETTINGS' books dotted about the house, these will hopefully make for a richer and more fulfilling RP while you are in our Home.
We are looking to 'recruit' more to the House... if you are interested please... find one of our Royal House and start to ROLE PLAY towards it...
Please note that there are still a few things that are missing in the House - and we aim to 'replace' them as soon as we can find the players who made the originals... if you sent letters to, or made gifts for the House please contact one of the House so we can arrange a way of obtaining a replacement...
Thank you.
Lolitra

*Edig ponders what else the Royal House might be missing in case he is able to help in some small manner.*

Furniture is back (and extended) - we even had an interior architect working on some stylish room contents; books are getting copied or being rewritten... So far we are more or less fine with the progress. Now we can again concentrate on caring for current and coming friends.
Well, maybe one thing: Farren, hurry up!

25/09/09 - it has been ages since I updated this for my wife - she has been home, and has tried to play when she can - but sadly has been too weak to get out of bed for long periods - however things are looking up. This coming week she is hoping her strength will be back.

Dear all,
I am now a lot better - shame my computer is not. It will not run the new version of PS for some reason and hubs won't let me use his new awsome machine! bah. sadly I cannot convince him - and he won't sort out mine as he has more important things to worry about at the moment - like sorting out our heating! it is really cold and that is not good - only a traditional fire place - no central heating - no hot water - what did I do to deserve all this I wonder - oh well at least I am alive and loved by my hubby..heheh...
Happy Christmas to you all and a Merry New Year - I hope to be up and running soon... Soon tm. hehehe

Hey there Lolitra. Good to see you about. More than likely you will need to wait for a few more updates before your computer will run the client. It's probably just crashing out because of the client having internal issues.

Glad to hear you're doing better! Welcome back. ^^

Lolitra was attacked by Jacula [at that time she did not know who he was - but later recognised his eyes to be similar to his sister's and now presumes...]
She was saved by a member of the House Cheshire - Alamara? or Almara she is not entirely sure of her name...
A Klyros [Paaprd - icly not known] was passing and stole her crown that was broken and fell from her head - [any RP with Paaprd needs to wait til I know if he is going to RP with the crown or just smelt it and use the 10 circles I gave him oocly for it instead]
Jacobita was terrified during the attack...
Lolitra was safely seen back to the safety of the Royal Residence and its protective wards.
Lolitra is contemplating dropping the trappings of rulings imposed on her by her Royal Court back in Printh, and return to her families traditional Warrior Ways - as these are Dire and Desperate times... this saddens her as she soo loves pretty clothes and well, all things pretty... [hehe]
The attack on her was to deter her from joining the Alliance of the Enkidukai....
-
[I look forward to you (or one of your many servants/ambassadors) telling Akaiddo of this. It will most interest him. Something to point out: Jacula's eyes glow, whereas Jaida's do not.]
[Edit: also nice to see RHoP is moving to come into 'newer' setting information.]

[Edit: also nice to see RHoP is moving to come into 'newer' setting information.]
[ooc comment] There was only a small part of the 'connection' made by the eyes - for yes they are different - yet reminded her of the haunted look in Jaida's eyes when she broke the bad news to her earlier of Jacula's behaviour... the rest was through making connections with intelligence ICly gathered and sightings of similar and attacks by same described person - all 'said' to be Jacula...
[ooc comment] As to settings - it is only bringing into the public domain that which has been RP'ed for years... perhaps it was left too long to do this as so many 'think' we are not fitting within the settings given. I years ago - thought this was settled. Nothing the House does is outside settings - only that Printh is possibly not recognised officially as a place. But to be honest I don't want to go down the route of debate about settings... truly I don't.
-
[For me, the question of Printh existing lies in the details. If it's an area similar to Yliakum (large cave, crystal sun), accessible through a long trip through the stone labrynths, it's not against settings at all. If it is accessed via a portal things get hairy.]

that's still quite risky. as there is setting pretty aganist that.
-
So you're saying there is no connection (direct, not portal) between the Labyrinths and anywhere outside the stalactite? that'd be...somewhat odd.
-
[ooc comment] this is why I don't want to go into a debate... Settings once told me it was accetpable - now they say it is not. I have remained consistant in my RP for many years - now I am having to adjust it to suit. The whole settings/history/whether or not TRHoP should continue as is is already being discussed with its members - and until I have their views - I don't particularly want this thread 'littered' with the debate.
And by the way it was not a 'portal' it never has been a 'portal', I have always RP'd - the great stone bridge beyond the labrynths...
My final note on this here is - ''if you have a problem with my RP - please let me know in game and I will do my best to not to get involved in yours.''
-
[Well, I welcome this move by your guild to... "update" for lack of a better term.]
-
[ We already have enough complaints against our plot regarding the settings of PlaneShift; but when it comes to useful suggestions and solutions, the number decreases drastically. We will try to solve it during the coming months, but cooperation is highly appreciated. Those who know the status of the player behind Lolitra can imagine how important her presence in the game is for her. ]
-
[I'd be more than happy to offer any suggestions, privately, using my knowledge of Enkidukai Settings. Have done a fair bit of research on ENkidukai especially.]
-
A Klyros [Paaprd - icly not known] was passing and stole her crown that was broken and fell from her head - [any RP with Paaprd needs to wait til I know if he is going to RP with the crown or just smelt it and use the 10 circles I gave him oocly for it instead]
Paaprd allready running away with the crown, but then he heard a familiar voice of his guild friend Esorono. He realized that the theft will go public and returned the crown to the rightfull owner. He is willing to return the 10 Circles to Lolitra as he could not accomplish the quest..
-
@e3k: that was very nice of Paaprd \\o//; there's enough villains running around. House Cheshire doesn't need to chase a robber down for Q.Lolitra :P

Lolitra managed a brief visit - but whilst she was powdering her nose [had a power cut] her new suiter, who'd just announced his intentions of courtship was stabbed by the dastardly Jacula!
Lolitra fearful of her own safety remained away from the rest of the event [sadly the power cut and other commitments meant I could not get back to the game.. ].
-
Welcome back from the hospital (once again), Lolitra! -- Don't miss the news in our own forums, good suggestions about our future arrived.
-
So is there still time for suitors to marry Lolitra? I have this one menki...
-
Well, uhm ... somehow, yes ... but it is now public that Barike asked officially to court.
-
[ I am having internet difficulties at present which is why I haven't been seen. Hopefully in the next few days I will have them resolved... ]
-
[:O Kull! Now's your chance! Do it before I have MY menki get brave and snag the queen!
Kidding. xD]
-
Dear all,
Firstly I would like to thank all who have been great 'cyber friends' to my wife in the time she could play online. Sadly she will no long be able to do so as her illness has now made it impracticable to do so.
A special thanks to LigH and Zinn and Talad for the fun she has had over the years and the special place she could escape to. I cannot begin to mention all and I would have listed all in her buddy list if I knew where to find it offline.
I will be going online to 'unpack' all her belongings in the Guild house so things are not lost in her character's leaving.
Once more
A huge thank you for being a great community to her.
HoodedOracle (husband in RL)
-
It was a pleasure to have Lolitra around, with her bottomless creativity. I wish her the best that can be wished.
I also hope you get someone to take this legacy.
-
Technically - for the guild in-game - that will be me now.
Regarding creativity ... she deserves a memorial.
-
That is the end of an era. Name should be locked, and somehow incorporated into the settings.
-
A great loss of glamour, creativity and warmness for PlaneShift. :(
But what's more important: Lolitra, I wish you all the best. May you still find fullfillment and joy despite
your struggles.
We haven't met often, but I will certainly remember you.
Best,
Minks
-
I can only agree with what was said. A big loss for planeshift that she stopped to play. She has also my best wishes.
-
Barike will miss her, but I understand and wish you both the best! It was a pleasure RP'ing with you both.
-
Emmara hangs her head sadly at the loss of a good friend and rolemodel. She bends to one knee and whispers, "All hail the Queen of Printh!!"
[Lolitra, I wish you the best in RL and all the prayers to you and your family. Stay strong. It was always fun to RP with you. O--)]
[I agree with Verden that in memory of Lolitra's efforts and dedication, the character should be given a memorial in settings and the name locked. She was a long time player and supporter of the Planeshift community. Her creativity knows no bounds, and she always includes anyone in the community of PS who wanted to be in the RPs.]
May her RPing skills and player etiquette be an example to us all.
Goodbye my friend
-
Lolitra will be missed and remembered greatly by every person she met on PS.
I will always remember her. She was one of the first people I ever met when I joined PS three years ago. She is one of the few people I'll never forget.
We all on PS love you Lolitra~ I hope you well~
P.S. I do agree with the idea of locking her name. She was one of a kind.
-
<3 Lolitra!
Thanks for all the great conversations.
-
Makes me sad to read this...Lolitra is one of the most friendliest persons in PS and for sure will be missed a lot. For me it was always a pleasure to play with one of her chars. (Or when I started hiding shyly behind some trees and just watching her play ;)) The several occasions Aiwendil was invited for a tea to the Royal House were also always something special for me...and I won't forget Mimmi (aka Ixala) and her own way of talking. (and getting Aiwendil in troubles). So only the best wishes from me.
-
PS is losing a great rp'er and icon. You will be greatly missed, Lolitra. :flowers:
-
Thank you all for your words. I have, out of respect for my wife's character and creativity, made my own account so as not to post on her account. I will pass on your words of support and kindness; I am sure it will comfort her and give a lift of spirit.
I can only apologise that I will not be able to post often about her wellbeing - it is hard enough just typing this.
I have kept the logs of her gaming and hope someday to try and write a small story about her antics with her characters, Lolitra Hollinthy Purrty, Elexis Wrym and Ixala (Aka Mimmi). That may be quite some time off - so please do not hold your breath.
The past years have been made more bareable with the help of your community here at Planeshift being so fun and supportive to her creativity. The trials and tribulations, Characters that have come and gone - one and all have added to the fun she had in creating an alternate existance away from her ails.
I hope that Gag Harmond, the new leader in The Royal House of Purrty will be supported in his efforts to continue the 'guild'. My wife informs me that she thinks he will do a marvealous job as he is kind and generous and an excellent diplomat.
One day, I may take the courage to venture back to PS myself - but right now it is just a little too painful and I feel my time is best spent with my wife.
Again - Keep on with the fun and Role Play you have so lovingly created and faithfully built.
Thank you PLANE SHIFT.
-
I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to know Lolitra better and have more chances to play with her in the game. I always found the chances we did have to interact together in the game to be enjoyable and always looked forward to the next time we would meet.
I hope for the best for Lolitra and all her family and friends.
-
Aww... My computer would die on me when important info comes through. I can't really say much that hasn't been said already but I'll miss you lolitra. And I'll especially miss playing as Illy in the stonehead when Elexis would come by to help.
Take care, both of you. :flowers:
-
It was an honor being able to RP with you--and though the times were few and far between-- i cherished each interaction and they were certainly some of the most enjoyable times I have had in PS. You will be sorely missed by both myself and the PS community.
Best wishes to both Lolitra and HoodedOracle, you have my thoughts and prayers :)
-
I only had the luck to be able to interact with Loliltra a few times, and I enjoyed every minute I was able to spend playing with her. A fantastic RPer, with a unique creative personality, Planeshift will be a lesser place without her.... I agree with the others, lock the name, and integrate it with settings, she deserves a lasting memorial for her enormous contributions to this game...
~CD
-
I wish I got to see her more, will she be alright eventually?
-
She's a one-of-a-kind gal with a bountiful vocabulary and a warm heart. Strength to her and peace to her family.
-
This shows the how the family of PlaneShift really does come together when it counts the most.
Many years ago I wrote a story on the PS forums while Lolitra was ill and her husband read it to her while she was in the hospital and it made her forget her ills just for the moment and it made the story all the more worthwhile.
Lolitra taught me is was okay to use my creativity when I played and she was fun. She made her character come to life. Such a wonderful and talented person who took the time to teach me to bring my own character to life as well. It was fun to play back then and Lolitra made it even more so. Thank you you for all you did for me then. I remember in tells how you would say how hard it was to play while you were trying to do your wash and I laughed because I was doing the same thing. Such a good friend you were to me!
On a personal note I wish you Lolitra to have the strength to endure whatever is to come. I wish you and your family all the best during this most difficult time. HoodedOracle you are amazing for all the years you have stayed strong throughout. Many times I have heard Lolitra tell me of her deep love for you. I hope that you also can deal with what is to come as well as you have in the past. I hope Real Life family and friends provide a source of encouragement and peace.
Be Blessed.
Mathy.
-
I never got the chance to meet or even talk to Lolitra on any of my chars... but from what I hear she is a truly great person and I wish I could have RPed with her at some point. I, as with many other people, agree with the idea of locking the name and putting her into Settings somehow. Brainstorms on how to do that, anyone?
-
I will miss you Lolitra, even though I haven't meet you, but I have heard great things about you. I hope you'll get well soon! Remember to try adding salt into the hospital food, honestly I couldn't be bothered to start with then finally I did, and it tasted actually rather good. Just don't do it to the dessert :P
-
I had but a few brief occasions to RP with Ix and then hardly understood what she said but anyway, losing a (possible) friend is hard....
Best wishes for whatever lies ahead and never forget you have friends and fans here, people who love your humor, your passion, your plotting, ... in total: you.
I'm sure we, who remain, will give our best to honor what you have done for this community, following the bright star you've already set onto our nightly heaven.
Again, all the best
Shew
-
The role plays, although non civil I had with Lolitra was throughly my pleasure. I am honored to have been able to play with her and the community will be less without her.
My deepest respects and well wishes,
-Jacu
-
I didn't RP with Lolitra, but had TONS of fun when she played Ixala. After a while the speech pattern just seemed normal, and I always looked forward to what she had to say!
A great person and a fun player. You are certainly awesome all around!
-
It is sad to lose a legend of the game, a fantastic RPer. I enjoyed the meetings between Lolitra and Tuathanach and was glad to see someone lead by example on how to RP.
-
I had the pleasure of running into Lolitra as Ixala once or twice and was thoroughly amused with they way she player her character.
I'm very sorry to hear that she will not be able to play. She mentioned numerous times how much she enjoyed to play.
Warm regards, and God bless.
-
Best wishes to Lolitra and her family.
Make it into a quest. A real good one, about education and learning and Printhian lore, and let it start in Oja.
Or maybe Brado might have some souvenir on the wall, being proud of his services to such a wonderful person. Something like a silken handkerchief or a scarf or a bracelet.
A book in Librams & Codexes, maybe.
-
Lolitra was already able to leave small but persistent impressions of her work (Joopiner berries; Roltoks).
A book with tales about her would have my preference.
I wonder if it would be suitable to make a kind of "funeral in absence" for her char, kind of New Orleans style, marching from the Gugrontid Temple of Talad to the Burial Well... but that depends on Hoody's opinion, and a possible IC explanation of her disappearing.
-
As someone who had only a few rare occassions to RP with Lolitra, each was rich and fulfilling. My prayers are with her and her family, and her family here in PS.
-
This is very sad news. Zakrei met Lolitra a few times and she was always very kind to him. He (and OOC me ) will miss her.
All the best
Zakrei
-
My wife K [Lolitra] has been very touched by the posts I have read to her. We sat and spoke about it - and this is what she agreed to.
To close the chapter on her story, Lolitra was 'borrowing' time using elixias to stay the curse that pained her soul and her harboured sister's soul that dwelt within a necklace that she wore. It was displaced from her body in an unfortunate incident.
In an attempt to reunite her sister to her body and enable the magics that stayed the curse to work more effectively she tried to use the 'mirror of truth' alone. She was found by her staff, sat, appearing asleep, by the mirror. A peaceful look and gentle poise led the staff to try to wake her once they had managed to shut the mirror away - only to find she was no more. Mel Tolled a bell and she was lain on her bed with the singing sword in her paws, a small crown placed on her chest, in her wedding dress that she'd had made in hope. A statue of Talad at her feet to guide her passing home.
Raouldir, with no heir to her legacy, and now too old to take the mantle himself, handed the crown of Printh to Gag Harmond...
-
:'(
-
Emmara sheds a quiet tear.
[Loves and prayers to Hood, Lolitra, and their RL family. RPs with you both were amazing, memorable, and fun. Thank you for every moment.]
-
No idea what the hell is going on but I think I'm sad?
-
No idea what the hell is going on but I think I'm sad?
One of the oldest (I mean about the time she was on PS not her real age :p) and greatest RP'ers on PS are not longer playing... Many of use enjoyed rp'ing with her... We are all sad to see her go as any person would be sad to see a good friend leave in real life.
-
I too only roleplayed with Lolitra a couple of times, either as Lolitra herself or Ixala but it was always great fun and her absence will be a great loss to the game community.
Best wishes
Giroum/Kaisa
-
My thoughts and prayers go to you dear Lolitra and your family. A few times my main character had the chance to RP with you, and i will always remember your politeness and the friendly manner you always portrayed through to others. You will be missed by all who knew you, and a legend to those who never had the pleasure. I am sure many stories of you will be told around campfires in Yliakum for years to come. A tribute to you in Yliakum to mark the effect you had on so many of our lives in game should be implemented immediately in my opinion. Thank you for allowing me the pleasure of knowing you.
-
Daaaamn, she has a fiiiiine lexicon. ;D
-
please to have known you Lolitra. :)
-
Like 1000 other people have just said [hyperbole], I wish you the best and I am glad that you have made a lasting impact on the RP community of this game. I am simply sad that you weren't around too often when I was beginning to RP, and that you aren't still around IG to RP nowadays.
-
Aww. I'll miss you, Lolitra. <3
-
Well, this is a sad time indeed. I was there at the coronation and founding of RHoP.....
I knew you once many years ago, was absent for so very long and was forgotten.
I do know that you were a much loved person, and I always had the utmost respect for you, even though I do not believe in Royalty I always did know there was something special.
I've watched from afar and grew to love the richness you brought to the land, and through it, to me.
As an old friend always used to say, "May all blessing be......"

-
Thank you, Dragonis ... I wouldn't mind you repeating your kind words at a - hopefully soon coming - funeral ceremony.
And again, thanks to everyone for your condolences... Remember, only the character is gone yet.
-
Lolitra, we've been friends on and off ever since I started playing. Sure we didn't RP as much as we could have but we've had our moments. Thank you for being such an inspiration to so many people, including me. You will always have a place in my heart.

I didn't even finish that rp...
-
Mishka only heard good things about Lolitra… She'll be there on the last goodbye. Promise.
I really really wanted to RP with Lolitra. Another dream that can't be realised… *scratches a name on a long list*
>Mishka Cheshire waves
-
Ligh.
I am unable to send a PM - for some reason it is barred for me. Please refer to post on TRHoP main forums....
Whilst I am here - Thank you to all who have posted such nice things about the one I truly love. You only know of her character's persona, not the real lady. She is a diamond, a rock on which I am awed by her resolve - someone I really hope gets better... I Pray she does. It is sad she cannot at present say thank you herself - so I say it for her in much much less elaborate and illustrative words than she would, never-the-less - thanks.
HoodedOracle
-
This board requires at least 10 posts to be allowed to send PMs...
I hope we can make the IC good-bye appropriate.
-
I won't br able to make it.... :'(
-
Ah, I forgot to remove it here too ... it was postponed due to Talad's request. An alternative is being discussed.
-
Reading this makes me sad. I enjoyed the few encounters between Orgonwukh and Lolitra and I think that both players enjoyed it even though the characters disliked each other very much (Lolitra pointing at Org's rude testoterone-driven behavior and Org calling Lolitra's crown a candelabrum which must have fallen onto her head...).
My best wishes for both of you, Lolitra and HoodedOracle,
Org
-
It saddens me to know that we have a need to do this 'farewell' RP, but she deserves the best send off. LigH keep me posted. I've been away do to a virus that has destroyed my ability to use the internet from my home computer. I still wish to be a part of the RP if possible.
-
Patience, Emmara ... Gag Harmond recently started dreaming that her soul is not completely lost in the Mirror of Souls. Talad seems to protect her still. That's why the event got postponed. There is still some kind of hope, although the result might be ... surprising.
-
Venorel murmurs. "Praise Talad. In praising we give worship".

*dances anxiously in anticipation of what LigH is hiding* :)

To anyone who may still recall Lolitra Purrty. It is with sadness that I state she will no longer be able to return here. I will miss her greatly. Thank you guys for the fun you gave her.

She will be missed.

Thank you for letting us know.
The charming Queen Lolitra brightened my in-game time.

Aww. This is very sad news. Lolitra was a very kind and fun player to interact with. Take care HoodedOracle.

I didn't get to RP with Lolitra much, but I can remember her always being a shining figure in the community, and she'll be greatly missed. R.I.P.
-
I will miss her. I loved rp with Lolitra so much. She was the life in ps :)
Sending hugs
-
May she now finds her rest and her family lives in harmony forever. I wish our Lord keeps her soul stored like the most precious of the gems. I had not the chance of knowing her myself (which I sincerely regret), but from what I heard -or read- I know she was a kind woman, good friend and best roleplayer who was able to bring joy to everyone who met her.
My best wishes to HoodedOracle, whom I hope will rejoice remembering the moments he spent with Lolitra, both in happiness and sadnes, but especially in happiness. Have a full life now, friend :)
/me bows her head in respect for the soul of Queen Lolitra Purrty
EDIT: I could barely reply because everyone was posting. I guess that's a good indicator of how much she was appreciated :)
-
I didn't know her, but I thought that should be posted:

Thank you HoodedOracle for taking a moment to let us know.
Lolitra will be greatly missed by the PS community and the friends she had made here. We can't be thankful enough for the part of her that she shared with us. Lolitra was one of the few players that I had the utmost respect for. She was always spoken of in the highest esteem by many of the players that I have known. Her character will always hold the torch of excellence in example and personality. She will be missed dearly here by all those that had had the pleasure to interact with her and the time she had shared with us. May she be at peace surrounded by the love of all those that hold her dear.
Thank you again HoodedOracle for taking the time to let us know. It means a lot to many of us.
I am sorry for your loss. I hope that you and your family find some comfort and strength within the knowledge that both she and you are in the thoughts and prayers of many whose hearts she had reached out to and called friends.
-
Hood,
Prayers for the family. It was very thoughtful of you to let us know. I'm sure it wasn't easy to type your post.
The time I was able to spend RPing with both of you will be cherished forever.
Lolitra was always kind, patient, humble, and friendly. I will miss her.
Emmara pauses by the Royal House of Purrty's guildhouse and bows her head in silence.
-
Some of my most enjoyable time spent playing PS revolved directly or indirectly around Lolitra or one of her characters. She was an excellent roleplayer and more importantly a wonderful person. She will be missed and remembered fondly.
Seems only fitting to go out on an RP line so, for one final time...
*Marqsaynt sends Lolitra a wink* "Take care, Princess."
-
;_; I'll definitely miss her. She did a lot to keep me interested in the game.
-

Thanks to all who expressed their condolences. :sweatdrop:
-
Thank you HoodedOracle for letting us know.
Whenever I think of Lolitra, I think of the handful of encounters I had with her, be it in RP or in the chatroom; and I smile.
It will be a sad smile for a while now, but a smile nonetheless.
Your wife was one of the most outstanding members of this community and will certainly be remembered by many.
She made a lasting impression on people all over the world. Not many people manage to achieve this.
I wish for you that thinking of her will also make you smile. Maybe not now already, but soon again.
Minks.
-
I RPd with her, I'm sad to say, too few times, but she was most interesting to play with when I did, and her reputation preceded her.
A name which will not be soon forgotten, nor should it.
-
Thanks to Jaycol, Mishka, Aiwendll, Monala, Chays last night for sticking around the RCD and talking about Lolitra and the joy of experiences we had with Her Highness. My favorite memory of rp with her was one feast on the Temple Green, when Roled had to pull out his notebook and write down the every third word she used, since they were so amazing, unusual and embellished, neither RR nor his player knew what they meant! She was gracious, friendly, welcoming and fascinating.
Healing thoughts and energy to you Hooded Oracle, and your family. May Xioisia walk beside you in your world, and with Lolitra in hers, and bring you all peace.
RR
-
Sorry I missed any ingame activities to remember her. May she rest in peace and may we remember her always.
*Mordaan bows his head and raises his mug*
-
My deepest sympathy for the event. She has been an active part of our community and her presence will remain with us and in Yliakum forever.
-
You should solidify Printh in Yliakum's history.
-
I second this. While my relations were never good, there was always some admiration for the level of intensity of the roleplay. A good suggestion indeed Suno.
-
I just wanted to offer my condolences to all who knew Lolitra in person and otherwise.
She was an excellent lady from what i could tell with all of my many experiences with her. Her presence on this Earth will be greatly missed, and I do not doubt that her legacy will live on through the myriad of lives she touched.
Thinking of you Lolitra....
-
*Silavur trudges up to the memorial site, assured no one in this land would recognize him anymore. His clothes are ripped and dirty, and his usual copious merchant bag looks light and poor. The knees of his worn pants touch the ground and his head bows, chin to chest. Moments pass and his only motion is to touch the ground, eyes closed. The moment passes and Silavur rises. His bag remains on the ground as his back turns away from it. He paces into the mountains for the last time and can only bring himself to look back on Hydlaa just once.*
[Rest well Lolitra. If old hats like me are returning to pay our respects then I can't even imagine how many more friends you made after I left, who will all miss you. Of course Silavur has been retired for a long long time, but I think if news of this reached his ears he would make one last journey back.
To the PS community: Thank you for being a family to those who are important. I'm glad that she meant so much to you all, because I'm sure that meant you meant a lot to her as well. I made friends in this game when I needed them most. It doesn't have to be someone with an illness that can receive benefit from this type of community, but any of us. Keep that level of bonds developing in this community because they are priceless.]
-
Thank you, Easton and Silavur.
I do recognise you still. You as Survivors of Berne will know how we feel, leaving friends behind in the history...
-
Thank you all. Just... Thank you.
HoodedOracle.
Missing his beloved.

You should probably try to see it from another point ... Because I am employed, I have only little time for playing, and because I am far away from the rest of my family, it always costs me hours of travel and a tank of fuel to visit them at most once in a month. When I finally have time to play, I only catch times when the people I want to have with me are not there. You put me under pressure with your IC activities, giving me trouble I can only solve with more time to think about an appropriate reaction than I am able to spend. And then you add OOC pressure on top by pushing me with those little activities that force me into the game.
And now I am expected to enjoy that?
If I feel able to meet Seria, then to get rid of this continuing pressure of a plot I am unable to estimate the consequences of. Not because I am excited to be part of it.
Learn to respect your roleplaying partners. We are not the tools at your service, or the backdrops on your stage alone.

Apparently it was yesterday ... well. I was just as surprised as most witnesses.
Suddenly, the Octarchal Guards proclaimed to meet near the library. Seria and I were summoned to give their statements regarding the overheard rumours that there would be different opinions regarding the property of the House Purrty.
Seria claimed rightful ownership or at least compensation for this building, according to her interpretation of Imperial Law that what was once imperial property, will always be imperial property, and the house once was bought by Donari Tyndale, a member of the imperial trading company. Also she pulled the wildcard of promising to use it for social advantage, as hospital. Here she used lady Evirea as reference, obviously with little consent.
I took my time to listen to rising differences between loosely related parties before giving my arguments: Seria was bold enough to challenge the fact that Octarchal Law is the only valid in Hydlaa, in front of the present guards; and she also tried to demand an exception of the rule that no guild or related association may own more than one guild house, by trying to verbally escape through the more or less unused house of the Rangers of Yliakum. Finally I couldn't help but summarize that her only intentions are to take for vengeance.

Trying to use more people in her command to support her position, the direction suddenly changed when captain Suno Regin took his chance to confirm criminal activities of Seria. This gave the guards an unmistakable reason to arrest Seria for a coming trial and declare finally that the House Purrty will stay rightful owner of their home. A bail of 10 million tria was set; possibly not a very high hurdle in these times, yet it would require a bailer who is loyal enough to Seria. Considering how Seria used to treat her fellowship, driven by greed and delusions, I doubt many will still be available, but there is always a chance that she may disappear before the trial...

I was pretty happy that the position of House Purrty among the guilds and citizen in Hydlaa was confirmed and consolidated. A few people followed to the tavern for a little refreshment.
Some people believe to have seen a figure resembling the appearance of Donari Tyndale.

So what might I do to go about attempting to join the grand and Royal House of Purrty?
Or at least learning more about it? :whistling:
-
Possibly making an appointment ... Unfortunately I don't play members of the RHP very often anymore until there is more purpose to do so. But I would enjoy more interest in it, and will try to be more available in this case.
-
Thank you. :D That would be very helpful. :)

A resurgence of the RHOP???? Will wonders happen? They could!!! \\o//
RR
P.S. RR has always had a crush on Gag, don't know if the Ambassador ever knew that... heheheheh :whistling:

A pity we have some missing posts here too; Siteya recently left a bunch of flowers here, which have been taken to a prominent place.
-
I have a character who might be interested in joining a Royal House, as well. It would be lovely to see it active again!

Siteya is planning to include a eulogy for Queen Lolitra and for Daughter, Aerynaiya [a very good friend who has also left us IC and IRL] at the upcoming DOX/SOX event, I just wanted to post that here, for those that may wish to attend and feel free to PM me with any stories and or remembrances of Lolitra, that may be included, I did not know her as well as I had liked too and so want to honor her memory IC with the respect she deserves.
Here is the event post by Roled:
The Dermorian approaches the kiosk gingerly. He takes a beautifully calligraphed scroll from his bag and smooths it out, then tacks it up in a prominent position. Next to the notice he ties a snowbud, tied in a blue and white ribbon. The notice reads:
The Novarti Celebration of Xiosia and Community Feast
The Daughters of Xiosia (DoX) and the Sons of Xiosia (SoX) invite ye all and each to the Novarti Celebration of Xiosia followed by a breaking of fast with a Community Feast!
The Celebration be open to all, no matter which Goddess or God ye may follow. T'will include readings from The Way of Peace, chanting upon the Balance of Xiosia, reflections upon our Goddess' poetry and dancing round the Sacred Tree. The Celebration welcomes new members into DoX, notably Aleeane the Healer, as well as reflections upon Aerynaia of DoX and Queen Lolitra of the Royal House of Purrty, who have passed into the Crystal.
Following the Sacred Celebration be a Breaking of Fast with all of our Citizens of the Dome, with lush foods and libations provided by the largesse of those what can do so and bring with 'em.

Hi everyone. I managed to get back in the game recently, which is pretty cool. I'm interested to see what's happening.
