The title of this entry is from the Communist Manifesto. So you might well guess something is up. Yeah, well. This entry is of course all OOC: it’s from Qie, gao’s Earth twin, who really can’t be bothered with “((blah blah blah))” brackets. Not all that respectful of Gorean ways, this Qie.
So, gao’s Master left SecondLife. He was of course quite proper and correct in how he handled it. Gentle, in fact, for a Master. Well… he delegated the Dear Johns to me, and I did the best I could. Now gao has to box up the castle somehow so I can sell off the land under it. Which might almost cover the back-tier. *sigh*
And like all “moving days” the crating-up is bittersweet. The castle and grounds look pretty sad, as bits and pieces get returned to folks who might be keeping track of what becomes of what was once their stuff. To be honest, though, gao has a pretty hazy memory of where all this sh*t came from, if he ever actually knew. On the plus side, perhaps, the vast majority of it he built himself, so he can make it all full-perm before I stuff it into Rez-Faux.
Not sure yet what will become of gao. The ko’lar presumably rusted off by now–salty tears, etc. Sentimental little twerp, my twin. Maybe Brown Caste in Isle of Tabor. Maybe just a spare alt for holding group ownership, logging in only administratively. We’ll see.
About this site: gao has gotten some comments that some of the blog entries aren’t original. Well, duh! But in fact, as I look at it, it’s really not obvious what was gao’s writing and what wasn’t: some were stamped “Example” but some didn’t even get that much indication. And that sucks–sorry for any confusion about that. The history here is that gao started the site just for the use of his immediate chain, and cut-and-pasted stuff from in-world notecards here, for his brothers to be able to study when they couldn’t be in-world. Those were supposed to all get moved over to “Pages” instead of “Posts” but apparently not all of them did. So, what to do? Since I really have no idea if those notecards were as public domain as they seemed by virtue of their wide distribution, probably the right thing to do is just remove them from the site–whether they were posts or pages. So, that’s the plan. Probably by the time you read this, they’ll all be gone, leaving only gao’s own words. I’m sorely tempted to just delete the whole site, but maybe somebody can get some use from what gao wrote, or maybe someday gao will get himself ko’lar’d again and he’ll want to add to it, so… guess I’ll give him some slack for now.
Guess that’s about it. Back to disassembling a little piece of Gor.
–Qie–
a boy wishes you good luck for the future. he is happy that you decided to leave Gao’s site up.
