Why and Farewell.
Many of you will be asking the age old question of why. I will do my best to explain what has become apparently clear to me over the last 9 months leading the most wonderful women I have ever known. Those there now, those that have passed through, and even those that left of their own accord.
The Gor I know is gone, the lack of ability to live in the now and the pleasure of a story seems to be lost. We have no one else to blame for this but ourselves. I know this, and even now I pray that one day we can resolve this and fix the mistakes we have made or 'our' gor will be gone for good.
For months now all I have heard is a stream of people giving the me the same story of rubbish, that makes little to no sense. Practically every BTB sim is now no panthers. It was impossible to be a panther, in some you could dress as a free, and try to sneak around. However with the skilled noses of most gate guards, you were just sniffed out and captured on sight. That is if you were even allowed to be in the sim at all.
Time after time, I would go to a dock, and have people IM me while I just stood there to read rules
"Panthers are not allowed here, tp out!"
"Don't come in here panthers are not allowed."
The majority were women in my box, which is interesting in itself. However, most women seem to be the sim owners now days so I would not like to suggest it was anything other than excellent sim managing of the so called rules.
In 9 months that Seka ran, only one Sim would come to rp time and time again, they are the total exclusion to what I have found over the rest of gor. That Sim was Hochburg, and they were remarkable in their stories. If you doubt it , feel free to read the blog. It did not matter if they were captured or we were, time and again the rp flowed, never any drama, or modding required, and it was good.
I am sorry that we shall leave them behind, but I know they will find their way to other bright eyed, bushy tailed panthers with high ideals and a love of story. I will give a special shout out now to Victor, Drusus, Vexing, Obsidian......and so many more but the names are eluding me. (Oh, Rashid, how could I forget you. I went head to head with you twice and won both times!) Thank you from all of us, for putting in the time, having some fun and loving the story. If I were to have any regrets about this, it would be that I loose time with you all.
As for the rest of Gor....be ashamed, your lack of participation. Your lack of interest in stories or storytelling. Is the exact reason our world dies at our feet. It will turn to bite you, and when it does, you will regret these silly choices you have made.
This cannot be Gor, this is a roleplaying game imitating a Gor for us. To cut people off from stories, is nothing more than cyber bullying. Wake up already, I beg you.
To those wonderful rpers that would come, give their all and rp on sim, thank you too. You are the true storytellers of gor. It was never about weapons or capturing or being caught. You were all magnificent. Draven, Treb and family, Bull, Daniel, Anjel, Grosvnor, True, Lance, Alfredo, Olivr, Icarus and so many more I am sure I have left some out again. Thank you also. You kept me sane, and sometimes made me insane too. I hope to see you all often, and keep out stories going even if it is in a different place, you all will have a place in my heart forever.
And finally, but never last in my eyes. My wonderful tribe of girls, who I dearly love with all I am. You were the heart of the Seka, I did all I could, and if I ever failed any of you, on any given day...I am sorry for it. You were all exceptional, and always will be. Never let anyone box you, tell you you can't or intimidate you out of your role. Thank you for being there for me, for the tribe, the sim and most of all each other.
For now its time for me to take a rest, to let my feet wander and find shade and sweet water where it flows.
