Ok peoples, I set up a "What would you like to do at the Stonehead?" Poll (http://stoneheadps.freeforums.org/what-would-you-like-to-do-at-the-stonehead-t121.html) on the Stonehead forum to get a feel for what it is people would be inclined to go there for. Please take the time to weigh in as this information is very important. The Stonehead is there for the community and if the community doesn't care then things go down hill from there... a lot of things actually. :(
Note: Sorry but that particular forum provider doesn't allow for unregistered guests to do anything but look (It's completely out of my hands). In order vote in the poll or comment in the thread you need to have an account with the forum.

The dramatic roleplay sounds fun :devil:
-
I'd say center more personal RPs there. The Stonehead in a way is very much a non-urban pub, sort of in Gugrontid, a wayside along the road to Bronze Doors. So give it that medieval rural tavern feel I think. I have yet to have a good in-character stop-by for a drink (though Akaiddo rarely drinks alcohol) so yeah....
Just a few ideas.
-
have schmex with a hooker, of course.
-
I voted
Order food and/or drinks and socialize
Come for an event (Concert, poetry reading, etc...)
Hold a party at the Stonehead
I enjoy sitting and doing casual RP there and the pie and emeralds are delicious!!!! All of the parties and things held there have turned out wonderfully. I also love the fact that the stonehead staff greet you when you walk in the door and dont care if you suck at RP as long as you try.
-
Well, at least I know the RP of the tavern is, so far, well suited to what people want out of it.
-
A fist brawl would be nice when unruly patrons come about. :devil:

Im pretty sure Illysia would smack you with that spoon of hers and Elady would have your head..........but it would be oooh so funny ;D
-
*Waves her Platinum Spoon of Doom(tm) menacingly at people thinking about brawling in her tavern*
Just try it....
*she looks over at Lilura*
Dun eat mah spoon.... :thumbdown:
-
i vote for loop lady pekerly death.

Vote disqualified... :thumbdown:

I'm confident that sort of customer service would draw plenty of patrons... :devil:
-
what disqualified? it was funny the last time! :P
-
What? You even think about touching Lady Peckerly? Why you.....[censure]
-
Have you considered doing events where the player is put under the spotlight ?
For example:
Comedy night - give players who sign up and audition in advance a chance to do some standup comedy. Obviously the signing up and auditioning would be just as much a part of the rp.
A roast - get someone up there amd give a select goup os ps comedians a change to hurl an insult at them.
Singles night, Ladies night
For that matter, a swinger's night. Come with a date and leave with someone else. Return in the morning to get your partner back. Smirk and giggle about the experience.
- a lot could be rp'd here... Some characters might take offence or feel awkward.
It could be turned down a notch if that's a little too spicy.
Perhaps do something with the hydlaa draw if euras is still into it ?
Perhaps think about what sort of things they do in popular bars and try to adapt it to the game.
Poker night ?
Wet t-shirt contest
*shrugs*

Yeah, well the Den tried that... There aren't that many Comedians in hydlaa. However, if you get Marqsaynt back around he could probably write it all himself and someone else deliver... Goodness knows he can crack people up.

same problem as above.

XD one, the Stonehead is not a bar, it's more a family friendly restaurant kind of deal. TWo, if I for some reason I had doubted your were a guy Rig, this proves conclusively you are... A wet t-shirt contest?!? :P
@Bajazag: Oh it's not that easy to misbehave. Illy runs a tight ship and guard get a handbook outlining what they can and can't do. ;)
Thank you all for posting. :D It is good to know some people still care.
-
bars are family-friendly til 10 pm actually. if you're under 18, you get kicked out the pub then. maybe the stonehead would do better with this sort of schedule.
-
Except, whose 10pm would that go by?
Also, for a family friendly establishment, perhaps a puppet show for those that want to dust off their child characters? ;D
Or....
Story night, possibly a weekly/monthly thing, with different themes each time.
Pet show, if that many animals would be allowed in the SH.
Drop-in class on some skill, perhaps.
Marketplace, maybe the usual, or maybe for roleplay goods (like a craft show or something)
Drink n' draw, for the grownups (a bunch of artists get together, get drunk, and draw things)
-
there's only one 10 pm per day in yliakum, candy....
-
Yeah, but the hours in game-time are so short, it can take an "hour" just to write a few minutes worth of actions, and in a game where they tell us time stands still, as it's always the same year. So really, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to say an hour passes in Yliakum every ten minutes in real life or whatever the rate is.
-
how long do you take to type?
-
No matter how long Candy takes to type, an hour ingame will only ever fit ten minutes of action. And that's optimal.
-
Different times are judged by different people. The Yliakum "hour" is not our "hour". They have the same name, but they are different lengths of time. In that sense one Yliakum "hour" is equivalent to our ten "minutes".
-
Illysia coming on more often :(

i don't see how this is a problem

Thank you. :)

No problem, but Ardoin is anxious to see you again

Back to the topic of what do we want to do at the Stonehead? How about a PARTY?!
Roled's typist is as bad at telling time as RR himself apparently. I messed up! My humble apologies to the the players from 'east' of me timezones, I put a 02:00 Xiosia and @ 03:30 GMT Illysia welcome back party times on the Hydlaa bulletin board on SATURDAY not thinking about my Saturday night is your SUNDAY morning. Please pardon my inability to read the three world clocks I consulted when making that post.
/me slaps his forehead with his palm and turns redder than his warrior's topknot...
So for north/ south Americans Saturday night, that's TONIGHT, and for Europeans and farther easterners SUNDAY MORNING there is a welcome back party for Illysia at the Stonehead, just after a Xiosia dance and revelry at the Garden.
Thanks to the Lady Solita who has helped me: that's
Solita tells you: 02:00 UCT; 04:00 CEST (Berlin); 22:00 EDT (NY); 12:00 AEDT (East Austr.); 06:00 MSD (Moscow)
(02:57:16) [Tell] You tell Solita: Thanks so I did have the time right 02:00 UCT but didn't have the date right, because my Saturday night at 7 pm is your Sunday morning at 4 am right?
(02:57:22) [Tell] Solita tells you: From Europe to Australia towards east it is already the 16th May.
(02:58:01) [Tell] Solita tells you: UTC is 16th may too.
(02:59:50) [Tell] You tell Solita: yes so my mistake was not in the hour/ time but in the date. So when I posted on the forum I was thinking Sat night to me but didn't realize it would be Sunday morning to Europe,,,, OK I see my mistake now, thanks Solita. Sorry!!
Please join us in the Garden and then at the Stonehead! Thanks for your forgiveness...

sunday morning? you really think anyone's going to be playing sunday morning?
-
Well Sarras it's a better time for RR and for Illysia and some of the others we rp with a lot... so I know it's not good for europeans so much and I am sorry about that...
But for world wide insomniacs, welcome !

This one does sometimes. And people that are staying home sick and should be sleeping. But for the most part, yeah, Sunday mornings aren't the greatest time for an event...I find most events are usually held in the morning or afternoon for us North Americans.
-
I'm usually online all Sunday, and I do live in North America, but I have been excommunicated from the church... I have to say it is the most active day of the week, morning, afternoon, and night.
-
catholic? ;D :ban:
-
We had a party at the Stonehead. Thank you for coming back Illysia and thank you Solita and Elady and Heolion for the pies!
That was a fun thing to do at the Stonehead! Now what are you going to do? :thumbup:

This agnostic would too. ;)
My character was finally told about Stonehead, IC, today when asking if there was a Tavern that sold wine. Once directions were given, my character set off for a visit. Unfortunately no one was there; yet some thoughtful person had left out a refreshing red drink that made the trip worthwhile. It was the colour of wine anyway. :)

I will buy the Stonehead Tavern! maybe :innocent:

Choose two you most want.
A) Parties
B) Singles nights
C) Weddings
D) Funerals
E) Wider selection of prostitutes
F) Greasier food
G) Better and diverse entertainment
-
@irishman: I see C and D to be the two things that inevitably happen there someday, and the two that I'm guessing will never happen are E and G. :P
-
Athiests might :\
It's Atheists, Eso ;D
A suggestion apart from normal getting together with friends:
A game quiz (easily done, one can make up questions on the spot even)
that's just my 2 circles
