Kiss My Knits!

REPORT: Theres some person here being sexually stupid.

‘Nuff said!

So I have what we shall discreetly refer to as “an upcoming project” and was discussing it with some other GMs.

[Jzara] Mangonels are fun!
[Zabari] you gonna use catapalts as well?
[Tvini] You gotta show me how to use mangonels, Jzara.
[Jzara] They come with instructions!
[Risek] Ooo, I bet that comment could end up on the list of Famous Last Words.
[Tvini] Yeah. It’s the GM version of “Hey, watch this.”

Ah, good times. Good times.

[Tvini] So, nadira birds. They’re sea birds. Do sea birds have down? I mean, ducks do, but do nadira?
[Smyrn] What a good question!
[Tvini] Indeed! I have someone who wants a quilt filled with nadira down.
[NewGM] I think all birds have down? Swans do, geese do, penguins do… usually it’s baby birds that are described as downy though. Hm.
[NewGM] Ur… can I point out if it’s quilted with down, you can’t tell what sort of bird it’s from unless it’s leaking feathers?
[Smyrn] …and even then, sometimes.
[Smyrn] I want to know who’s going to sit there and denude all those nadira chicks.
[Westryl] You said denude
[Tvini] This is true. But I’m just impressed they actually noticed the nadira birds.
[Smyrn] Yes, (Westryl), I said denude. It’s a word.
[Tvini] Well, as a member of team wedding, you could denude them.
[Smyrn] I have carpal tunnel. Sorry, must beg off.
[Westryl] Tattoo runs in, followed by a naked woman, as he yells, “Denude! Denude!”
[Tvini] Damn.
[Smyrn] LOL
[Smyrn] It was funny, but not THAT funny.
[Tvini] And finally, I have something I can livejournal before Tessima! Woot!

Question: If it’s January, how come the signups are for May? Do I really have to wait that long to get married? Why the big delay?

Answer: Because weddings vary so widely in complexity, we have to plan for the most complex. For instance, maybe you want 20 black hats for your items. Well, that’s fairly easy, and we can probably whip that up fairly quickly. But let’s say you want items which all have a rich RP history and writing on them in Gerenshuge and you want them to be kind of thiefly, but not thiefly as to get you thugged, and you also want runes (which we don’t do) on them and other stuff, and dammit, your buddy got something just like this five years ago, you think, so you don’t want any guff.

Well, that’s another story.

Now, let’s say you want that stuff, AND you want a massive invasion of snowbeasts wearing tutus, each with individual personalities. Now I gotta round up a bunch of GMs and coordinate schedules. It’s going to be a fun event, but still. There are a lot of variables. And we want your special day to go perfectly.

Question: But the hat thing. I just want hats. Can I get it done early?

Answer: Maybe. It still depends on the schedule, and it also depends on the complexity of the weddings ahead of you, circling around, waiting for their spot on the runway. We’ll do what we can, but don’t sign up for a wedding in May expecting to have it in February. Much as we want it to, it probably won’t happen.

Question: But… but… why can’t I have a King’s Wedding? I’ve got all kinds of cool stuff I want to do.

Answer: Because. And you should drop me a line and tell me what you want. It may be stuff we can do in a Queen’s Wedding. You don’t need a King’s Wedding just to have your dead relatives show up as ghosts at the reception, for instance.

Question: Haha. No. Seriously. I want a King’s Wedding.

Answer: I feel your pain. The last time we had a King’s Wedding, we opened up a fest ground, created a new area, made custom-scripted items for the couple, special juggling items for the guests, and on, and on. It was, indeed, super cool. It was also super GM-resource intensive. We need those GM resources elsewhere at the moment. We can do the wedding, or we can kill and maim the players in new and exciting ways.

Question: How much does a King’s Wedding cost?

Answer: Plenty. While the last King’s Wedding cost an arm and a leg, they really got an amazing amount of bang for their buck. Next time we offer one – and we have no set date as to when that might be – it’ll cost both arms and both legs. We’ve bandied around the $10,000 figure, but nothing’s set in stone.

Question: You’re kidding.

Answer: I’m a GM. I don’t kid.

Hey, Tvini! Are the rings in the Prince Package the same as in the Queen’s Package?

Yes! They have the same name-change ability, when used in conjunction with a Saemaus’ Kiss rose.

Confused as to how that name-change thing might work? Read NEWS 1 30 in the game.

Well, now that Tessima has linked to me, I feel the need to post something DR-related.

One of the top ten questions asked: Can I have a King’s Wedding?

No.

Thanks for stopping by!
