As many of you know online Gor is a rather murky place at best. Normally this just serves to annoy me to a slight degree, long ago having got over the disappointment when I had come to that realization. But, today, I was surprised to see that online Gor had sunk to yet another new low. I actually thought it couldn't get any lower. Well, live and learn.
Today I got to see a freeman, by the name of Agrit, make a bald face lie regarding Phelan curing ost venom, despite the fact that a scroll had been provided making it clear that he had done so. This action was supported by using only part of the scroll provided, of course omitting the section that made the situation clear, and then only evaluated that which he cherry picked. This allowed him to make an evaluation out of context, which enabled him to prevent a revised version of the event to support his conclusion
I will present, again, part of the scroll posted. I, however, will not "forget" to include that which gave the situation context.

alli-cat-CoF-ys reaches out and and carefully and slowly starts to slide the jeweled straight pin into danicas white silks her hands trembling badly as she tries not to hurt the girl
danica-Phelan-CoF-ws looking down at the lovely pin, tears spill over and gently caress the pale skin of her cheeks. looking back to her sister, she hops off her Master's lap and takes her in a tight embrace then kisses her cheek whispering
danica-Phelan-CoF-ws : thank you sister, it means more to me than you can imagine. you are such a wonderful and beautiful sister, thank you, thank you so much
alli-cat-CoF-ys takes another deep breath to steady nerves and tries to quickly get the jeweled pin thats tipped through her hand trebles and it slips and scratches danica just barely but makes it through the fabric
danica-Phelan-CoF-ws oops, got ahead of myself
danica-Phelan-CoF-ws ahem - please see my response above *giggles*
Phelan-CoF-Phy-Adm reaches into his pocket pulling out several ring that are used for piercing other parts of the body and looks to the three girls
Phelan-CoF-Phy-Adm let me see he thinks as he looks them over
ÅŸÄđįqÅ©Ä~ÄŒôF~Ŗřş peeks to Master
alli-cat-CoF-ys blinks as she suddenly realizes that was the wrong pin that that one was tipped in ost poison she turns pale and backs away slowly
danica-Phelan-CoF-ws : hmmm, not sure what to do about ost poison
danica-Phelan-CoF-ws : any advice?
Phelan-CoF-Phy-Adm reahes into his bag pulling out the salve of the PKs
Phelan-CoF-Phy-Adm then an antidote he has been working on
alli-cat-CoF-ys : ugh let see um right theres gots to be a antidote around here somewhere
ÅŸÄđįqÅ©Ä~ÄŒôF~Ŗřş watches Master
Phelan-CoF-Phy-Adm reaches down gently appling the antidote

To ensure crystal clarity, I will repost the post that establishes the context:

That that pin was tipped in ost venom is beyond dispute. There was no subsequent post that said anything to the contrary. Phelan provided a cure regardless. It is irrelevant that Phelan himself didn't say anything about ost venom. That it was ost venom had already been established. With ost venom a scratch is enough.
I know, Agrit, that you wish this issue would go away. Making outright lies about it, that can be so easily shown to be such, is not going to accomplish that. You simply managed to accomplish diminishing your own character by the attempt.
Perhaps you can reestablish some by removing your false claim and admitting the error of it.
I wish you all well.

Just about every scenario would be flawed if one had to role-play each step of the process in detail, and if it were to be the standard just how far back would these steps need to be traced. The whole ost venomed pins thing is questionable anyway, really.
As in: I think I shall protect my safety by precisely placing on my person a mulititude of pins tipped with a venom that will slay anyone with the slightest exposure in moments. What could possibly go wrong? Oops! *thud*
It's Buzzen. Anything is possible.
Most people would have a plan and carry each step through. There is usually some sort of premeditation involved. What happens if disgruntled person x goes running through scratching people with ost tipped pins? Is this going to be accepted?
Well, if a free woman did the ost venom pin thing, and had a slave place the pins for her, it probably wouldn't be the most difficult thing to sneak one away. That would probably be best to have role-played out though.
" What happens if disgruntled person x goes running through scratching people with ost tipped pins? Is this going to be accepted? "...... How are we all still discussing this? Didn't You people see where I posted detonating the all powerful Kurii planet killer? Gor's dead and gone, blown to dust.....or, did we not all agree to the rash actions of one extremist in a solitary isolated incident ?.....waaah waaah You people don't plaaaaaaay faaaaaaaaair !! snivel snivel cry cry.....
I dismissed your destruction of the planet as the obtaining of the materials for the making of the planet killer was not role-played out in exhaustive detail.
The thing is, ost venom is one of those things that works great in the completely controlled medium of the books but is junk online. It is way too much of an easy button to work well in situations of spontaneous role-play. Due to that it would have been good for standards for the role-play of it to have been established when it was still possible for standards for online Gor role-play to be made. Sadly, that window of opportunity has been long closed.
" Sadly, that window of opportunity has been long closed. "......We all have computers so we all know what to do when Windows close without reason...REBOOT!......So then with all the folks actively commenting on blogs we clearly have a concerned following of Goreans who care about the future of Gor....The question now becomes " HOW fellow Goreans, do we collectively reboot Gor ?"
Kick out the weakest links.
Thats where all these dozens of two member homes come from, people can be ostracized but not banished from Gor. Reality wont allow it, anyone with a computer can simply go start their own Home.
Hell, Judas even started getting along better with people. Of course no one is going to mess around with him and cause trouble. Peace through intimidation.
Island ? I don't have an island ! I will have You know I preach the gospel and pronounce My Judgments from atop a shipping crate resting upon the deck of My ship, thank You very much.......
True. I guess there already is a council of 1 maybe 2 people who wants to run all of Gor for everyone. Problem solved.
LOL @ Grym, nice! and for the record, Thiery? I did mess with Judas once, I went off on Him, because I was led to believe something that in the end was false,, funny how I did also face Him, state clearly I was in the wrong, apologize, and said I accepted whatever consequence He would have as a result of things. See that is what being an adult is, maybe We make mistakes, but SOME of Us at least admit to them, and try to make it right. and since Judas and I have had no issue
apologies, Theiry* sorry typo there
well hell I give up and will put My glasses on now!
I intend to keep this Gor related blog at a higher standard that what I normally see here. If you wish to participate herein keep your posts cilvil and reasonably on target. If you wish to mock others you all have blog space of your own to do it in.
