Coming Soon - The Meeting Place

[Ssussunriyh]

Pou has informed me that startup has been delayed yet again. Big surprise...

This reminds me of the anecdote about the Cathedral of Chalesm from Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Trilogy. The cathedral was torn down to build a refinery, but construction of the refinery had taken so long, and had to be extended so far back into the past to allow production to start on schedule (they had time travel, see...) that the Cathedral of Chalesm had now never been built in the first place! Picture postcards of the cathedral suddenly became immensely valuable.

I have told everyone that has asked me. The techs have pushed us back further due to other hitches in their schedule, and frankly I would prefer that they had the websites done before the room because otherwise it feels like "well, they have the room, so that should keep them happy for a while..."

I like the idea of a competition designing a general ID, but people would have to keep in mind that others must be able to adapt it for their character. There's no one on staff that would have time to make them for everyone, that's just fact of it.

There is no reason to have a "TMP" ID. As it's been said, The Meeting Place is just a night club. W.I.Z.O IDs are a diffeent matter to be discussed amongst ourselves seeing as we're the ones that would be using them and seeing as Adele is still the boss. As for general ID, driver's license is the usual way, or many countries have age verification cards (eg. 18+ card here where the legal drinking age is 18). Over here clubs don't have to accept university or work IDs as age verification and can turn people away. Whats it like where others are?

Fake IDs would be confiscated (heh. Might be fun to have a gallery of fake IDs sometime ), the person probably banned (IC) from the club. Fake W.I.Z.O IDs... well, you'd have to come up with a storyline and put it to Adele and myself otherwise yes, it may be considered impersonation by some.

And yes, underage drinking is illegal although I've checked the current laws on that for NY state and I think it was 16yr olds can be there so long as they're not drinking, younger children can be there only with their legal guardians. I would personally prefer not to have minors around without guardians. It would be a house call. What would you prefer?

Depends on how you set up the club.

16+ for a hip NYC club is.. er, unlikely. 18+ sure, but on weeknights. If ya aren't at least 21 on weekends for a lot of decent clubs, and week-round for some, they just won't let you in. But 18+ is the norm.

Can't sit at the bar unless yer 21, unless they've got a wristband or stamp system up front.. where you get stamped if yer legal to drink. Or illegal, though I've only seen that once and that was serious weirdness. But ya..

My only concern with allowing Fake IDs and characters that aren't able ta drink would be the promotion of underage drinking. I dunno what the site's "rating" is right now, honestly, but I think we've got enough family to us that that should be a concern worth eyeballing.

I agree with Jaya. Underage drinking should not promoted but on the other hand neither should murder and theft and that happens often enough in the other settings.

So as long as we give people the understanding that TMP will have a bit of a rougher edge , I think there should be nothing to worry about.

 

[WizO_Pounamu]

Murder, theft etc are not permited in the club itself. If it happens, it would have to happen unnoticed or suffer consequences. hehehe
But it can still happen in the setting as a whole, just like minors can exist. Cats, dogs, a hidden dragon... Just not in the nightclub, please.

So... does everyone that bothers to read these accept the club having age restrictions?
