Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rune" data-source="post: 2558338" data-attributes="member: 67">Just a couple things i'd like to comment on about this relatively debateable subject, and it has nothing to do with auto-hits and the like mind you, since nobody ever reads that any rate, and if they do. They don't learn anything. So onto the late at night deal, which seems to have grabbed some attention. I agree with Jackson, things off site are off site, and they can in no way be affected by the CoC as long as they are off site, and true certain things that can lead to such dealings may at times be edging it close to the CoC, or even completely out of line. I'll give you that. However certain nuances and subtleties are simply required. It's a hot day in the seventh sphere of hell when you'll find burly men and leather clad women sitting in a tavern discussing the latest bit of papyrus they read, or why they like to knit instead of weave. Secondly, while in a fantasy setting it is more likely to happen to find men and women sitting in a tavern enjoying a good cup of tea and discussing literature, it's not as likely as you think. Jackson makes a good point, the Cross Roads Tavern, and to a lesser extent the Emporium, are just bars, pubs, ale houses. What have you. It gets rowdy, people are drinking, which leads to more rowdy revelers. People get loud when they are drunk, and annoyance as Nevine said is all in perspective. However if  you visit a tavern, even a make-believe one to RP in and you expect it to be quiet and docile, then perhaps you should rethink and take a trip to the local monastary instead. My third and last comment has to do with bringing up things that have to do with the real world. If I know the group that is being spoken of here, and likely I do. I think it fair that I take it on my behalf to explain in medeval terms, or even mythical terms how something of that nature could be found. Yes, I know it's hard to believe, but even in such barbaric times, people still wore undergarments, now while they weren't usually regarded in terms of today (some were surprisingly, but i'll not go into details) not everybody can have the grace of knowing everything to do with underwear, so when you try to convey something you don't know about in specifics, it's simply easier to refer to it as it's known today, since then you know what you're talking about, and so does everybody else. If you have a problem with it, you can always message them and asks whats up, and i'm sure they'll explain it to you personally.Scissors did exist back in the day, of course they were cruder, and usually reserved for cutting metal, sort of like an archaic form of tin-snips, but they were around. Man wasn't so primitive that they can't even grasp the concept of a simple machine.Now, lets take a moment to study the term "hot-tub" now, believe it or not, people did take baths back in the day. Infact, hot-tubs were in use. Tub being the thing they put water into, and hot referring to the temperature of the water. Instead however of a machine providing the heat. Large rocks pulled from a fire were put into the water, and groups of rich people would relax. Granted it probably wasn't designated as a "hot tub" probably as a heated bath. Or some such thing, but they too were around.Slang is everywhere, and will always be everywhere. You will be surprised what slang was around in the time of say Shakespeare, that is still in use today. One example that largely goes unnoticed, happens to be the term "dude", heck this term was still in common use during the days of the wild west. Alright, now drinks that are flavored like candybars may be a little more difficult to explain, beyond something so blatantly simple as hot chocolate. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> However if you think about it, this is a setting based where angels, demons, wizards of mighty powers, and other weird things you will never see in true mideval fashion spring up, so whats the harm in saying this drink was conjured and it tastes like this and such. Doesn't hurt me any, and shouldn't hurt you, but as Jackson said, if it really bothers you, you can always message the person. Last, but not least, I think everybody needs to chill just a little, though thats my personal opinion. Too often these days do people take this far to seriously. Now i'm sure i'll get a ton of messages in respone dictating why we can't chill out, but hey i'm willing to take that risk to tell everybody to chill out and grab a soda an' relax a wee bit. Well thats all for now, sheesh, see how much you make me right. Rune tired now.</blockquote>
