The Gentlemen's Lounge

Salutations, my fellow gentlemen! I welcome you to this most illustrious establishment. On this fine day I wish to propose an idea which would in turn meet the fancy of all those who desire an intriguing and intellectually stimulating repartee. Howbeit, there are a few protocols which shall be followed whilst taking part in this (or shall I dare add our) colloquy.


First, vulgar and grotesque language must not be utilized in our indulgence of the English language. Instead, we shall prove our mastery of the tongues.

Second, the premier potable to be proffered at this most fine establishment is tea. Alcoholic poisons are to be reserved for sui generis happenings.

Third, do not take pleasure in the discord that the plebeians call "modern music." Such barbarity taints the mind.

Fourth, all posts must bring honor to this English tongue. Posts must be proper.


The first affair to be dealt with is the election of Board Trustees. Popular vote will decide nominations (all nominations must be accepted by the those nominated and the seconded by another gentlemen), and will then be voted upon. From those nominated, the three that received the majority of the opinions will join me, the Board Magistrate, on the Board of Trustees.

The Board of Trustees will rule on all decisions dealing with the lounge. These will range from member discipline to royal Lounge difficulties.

List of Board Members and Positions:

Magistrate Skirata
Powers - Executive veto, Emergency Trustee Substitution

Paradigm *jdm*
Powers - Emergency vote, Emergency Ascendance

Trustees
Powers - Voting

List of Successful Nominations:
Conrad Jalowski
Heraclius

We are now entertaining Trustee nominations.

I'd like to nominate Conrad as a trustee.

I will second Conrad's nomination.

I would like to nominate the Evony member Heraclius to the position of a board trustee.

In addition, I graciously accept your nominations.

My fine gentlemen, how are your slaves doing today?
I hope they are working hard and their backs are whipped well.

Greetings, good gentlemen. I inquire, may I join this fine gathering of intellectual minds?

You may, good sir. You may also take part nominating any individuals you feel are worthy of an executive position.

How are your slaves today Tan 90?
Have any of those soulless creatures tried escaping lately?

I would like to nominate Mr. BigNorr, if i may.
He seems of the proper personality and his mind likewise.
Thank you.

Ahh...I see this fine establishment is up and running again.

In light of this, I shall rejoin it!

...And as for the Nominations, I see that only one member has so far been successfully nominated. Therefore, I second the nomination of our esteemed friend, Heraclius.

As for myself, I shall see if anyone should choose to give me the high honor of nominating me to the Board as well...

Good evening, gentlemen. =)
How lovely. I applaud the Board Magistrate for his attempts to refine this forum.

Furthermore, I contest the nomination of Jurnis and BigNorr.

I also contest the nomination of Jurnis and BigNorr and nominate SbD

My barbarian horde will make quick work of this gentleman's lounge.

My good sir, do not ever send primitives to do a man's job.

An un-named vessel happens to be orbiting the planet. It shall make VERY short work of your primitive savages.

The Gentlemen's Lounge is more than a place. It is a concept, a way of life, a society. Your material means of ending the gentlemanly ways of these gentlemen will fail.

I would also like to nominate Baron von Goats101.

Primatives are no match for the men inside these halls.
Anyone pour a fellow mate a glass of tea?
I will greatly appreciate the one who does.

I shall do the honors, my good sir...Since the butler nor the maids seem to be around.

*Goes to get a pitcher of tea*

Mornin' Fella's... Might I ask what the bloody heck is going on? and Skir you social-ist you, would you happen to define modern music, or shall I take it that the likes of the Floyd and Chisel be accepted in this lounge? Yea and I apologize.... This is about the best I can put forward of Proper English... Must be the back blocks coming out in me... Gotta Love local Dialects...

And I forth the Contestment of Jurnis and third the contestment of BigNorr....

I nominate Jurnis for permanent maid and asskisser.

All in favor?

Reread the guidelines or security will be brought in.

His great insight to everything known, is astounding, bewildering, and invigorating, thus we-the forum peasants, should revere this, dare I say god, and show him the proper respect that he deserves. Our Overlord, will make the forums a better place for the believing, and also for the unbelieving.

Thank you for your time my fellow gentlemen,
The Awesome One.

On this fine night I would like to nominate the gallant Shep for asskisser, but also second his nomination for the Board of Trustees. I would also like to inquire as to what will happen to females that dare enter the gentlemans lounge? Will they find themselves up on the stage?

you can sample their service

an insult to another person would only be an insult if the other person took it AS such. An intended offense requires malice on the part of the person making such offense. if none can be found, then the offense rests entirely with the offended party, and not with the supposed offendor.

No, because it has been discovered I doubt even you would answer that and the fact the rest are away would help your side of this arguement.

Note: Can someone translate?

I THINK he was saying that i wasn't insulting you...

indeed it is the messenger and the reciever in question, not the message itself. cultural differences sometimes breed misunderstanding, but in those differences, we find commonality. In this case, "aussie" is comparable to "yank." thoughts?

Wise idea I must say...

GRITO YOU FOOL! It's pronounced Ozzie.. but spelt Aussie!

it is just a matter of understanding where each of you is "coming from." nes pa? In Digger's experience, an american using such slang MIGHT be considered rude, then again, it could also be considered familiar, possibly friendly. It all depends on who you're speaking to and their personal experience.

yes let's not offend the sheep. I'm only saying that what passes for appropriate varies from person to person, and with 7 billion + people in the world, there's a lot of room for misinterpretation
