Tavern Guards

[Nalain Tarek]

We could use a bartender in gugrontid, Maybe some special Kran drinks, and a few others for other races.

after enduring a multi-page thread about how the bartender we placed in kada el's "KILLED RP" you will be getting no bartender any time soon.

How can it "KILL RP?" From what I've seen, there's no roleplay in Gugrontid at all.

What XilliX is talking about is when Allelia was first placed in Kada's. Many players got upset and said that it killed a chance for players to rp being the bartender. To counter that they made Gurontid bartenderless to give players the ability to run the bar as they wanted to with Kada's. Sadly it seems no one even takes the time to go to that bar, let alone run it.

It has been used for a flea market

I've seen a few RPs there. People eating and discussing things. If there were cooking implements there and a npc that trained in cooking, I would gladly go there and provide food as I was training. I RP while training in cooking just to break up the monotony. It's fun sometimes to give cooking lessons.

Well, I still see a lot of RP going on in Kada-El's and she's used in the roleplay a lot, too. I don't see a problem with putting one in Gug as well; I think it'd encourage more roleplay there (admittedly I've only used the Stone Head for RP once or twice). And cooking equipment would be nice, too.

To get back briefly to the original topic: my personal policy when someone chucks settings to start an unrealistic fight in the tavern?   Ignore 'em.

Well, more accurately I give the player a /tell to say, "Hey, do you remember that there are guards right outside, within easy earshot?" and if they don't rein their behavior in and act realistically, my policy is to either leave or rp around them.  It's not the friendliest thing I could do, but, well, I personally really don't appreciate attention hogs, and I refuse to condone their behavior by giving them rp, y'know?   Sending misbehaving players to coventry seems like the most effective way for players who do abide by the setting to actually punish this kind of thing.

And what I am saying is NO, you won't get a bartender or cooking trainer there any time soon at all. Rp it up far be it from me to "Kill RP" yet again.

Make your food elsewhere, take it to Gugrontid and go run the place.

If you add cooking tools there you'll get a whole bunch of people standing around not talking on top of all those platinum miners.

I agree....Adding cooking tools will make the tavern a place people use to level...Not encourage rp(not saying there is anything wrong with leveling). You want people to come to the tavern in Gug and Role Play as they do in Kada's (without all the fighting and violence) but giving us the ability to cook there won't necessarily promote rp. People have been rping in Hydlaa's tavern without cooking and many still do it without cooking.

Not true. Most people get too frustrated with cooking to hand around. Brado's kitchen is more often empty or close to it. Not only that, when there are more than two people there a lot of small scale rps happen there. There is more RP in the kitchen than in the rest of the tavern. Well at least when I am there. The rp is just not dramatic or earth shattering. It's mundane but even mundane rps have their place.

Oh and if you think it is a simple matter of making the food in one place and moving it to another, then you have never bothered to cook. Cooking is way more complicated than weapons crafting and it uses up way more inventory space. It is considerable harder to just pick up and move everything.

Man, how do you even manage to do small rp while cooking?  When I tried it, I ended up burning half a dozen things and turning another half dozen into gunk.    It's too distracting of a skill for cooking implements to be a good rp sparker, imho.

[Illysia]

I do it all the time. In fact, I've even managed to describe what I was doing via the game mechanics in an RP way at the same time. I prefer to RP show people how to cook instead of only doing ooc instructing. It's rather funny actually. Once you do it a lot of times, you get a feel for how long it takes for stuff to turn to gunk, burn and so on. I spend most of my IG time in the kitchen and so to RP and keep from going stir crazy I've learned to RP and cook at the same time.

It is possible if you are not power leveling your cooking by making enough food for an army
