Silver speaks and people, well really don't care.

Hello all once again,

I know it has been some time since I wrote an article, but this just seemed to jump out at me. Someone sent me this letter, and I will post it in it's entirety but I will bring forward a point at the end.

"I feel that I must say some words on behalf of the chars and muns of the isle of Gortuga. Recently in the Outlaw times a criticism of the island has occurred. Criticism can be handled but the blatant accusations of this person needs to be dealt with. Silver Espirit has accused the island of being Disney.Well lets see...pirates, buccaneers, and privateers are all words used to describe people who use force on the water to take what they want from another vessel. The use of movie pictures and sometimes the movie itself is used to begin a story line. The name of Gortuga is that just a name. It was never the intention of this group to ever bring a movie completely to Gor. This group has been trashed without anyone from the Outlaw times ever role playing with any of us. Jack of the movie never held an island. Jack of the movie never mated. Jack of the role play is just as flippant as Jack of the movie but he is also doing his best to provide for those of his island. The role play for this island was for fun. It was talked about throughout the building process and everyone with the island at the time agreed that we would play this for fun with no. repeat no back biting or mun trash talk. We as a group so far have accomplished this. Because of this story line we have been accused of bringing talking skeletons and ghosts and what not to Gor. I myself have not seen one. Again someone saying what they will because they just don't know. The real kicker to the problem is that we were asked to change our story line the names of our chars and the name of our island because someone outside the group demanded it. The mun of Jack has had another of his chars thrown out of the City of Koroba because of this story line. The char that was in Koroba has nothing to do with Gortuga island. As I see it that is clearly mun crossing. Personally I run my char as I see fit. I am having fun with this role play as I have not had in a very long time. I don't ask that you agree with all that I do but I do ask to have all the information. I have been with this story line almost from conception. I have never role played with Rencor Hawk or Silver Espirit. These two char names have accused us of having no talent for role play or no imagination. Again I have to say where are they that they can make these accusations. So far since the Outlaw times has started with the trash talk I have received nothing but praise for Gortuga and the play that has been going on. We invite those who are willing to join us to come and experience a positive role play not the petty trash talk that is going on else where.... Just remember we are pirates *grins* Tsi Pae 1st mate Plunderers Greed"


Alright see the highlighted areas. That's what I want to address. The issue of weither or not they shouldn't play within the "realm" of Gor matters very little. I am a book thumper as well, and weither or not they should be "allowed" to play with "us" is an issue to it's own. But the real disturbing issue lies with Silver's hypocrisy concening the s/l. They apparently keep to themselves and play their game, and do not force themselves on anyone. For Silver to speak so high and mightly about himself, then go and cross and axe the charrie from KoRoBa that had nothing to do with the offending s/l is indeed crossing. I know he's been around for awhile, but for a guy who is consistantly wrong about alot of things, you'd think he'd shut up and leave people alone. Maybe mighty Silver should revise the statement:

"Or you can read the OT and let Silver be your Game Master since I have the knowledge and know how."---From the OT Edition 816

The only thing you know is how to spew hate whenever the bug crawls in your rear. People for the vast majority don't read your articles for the educational value, but for the entertainment of seeing who Silver trashes this week. You are pathetic. You sit about and critique other's play while your own city is as backwards as any other. And by the way, i've seen the logs of some of the play in almighty KoRoBa, and I have to say I was unimpressed. Police youself before straying elsewhere.

I wish you well. For tomorrow is another day.

Mun of Torrin

(Also, I am accepting articles to be published in the paper. I am taking any sort of editorials on Gorean roleplay, logs of improper Gorean play, crossing, or un-Gorean characters of play)
