1929 Discussion

Thank you to Fraulein Simoneaux for leading a fun and informative discussion on women in 1929 and how to incorporate our knowledge of the period into our rp. Here's a copy of the discussion for those of you who couldn't make it. My apologies for not cleaning up the typos! ~ Zoe

Zoe Foodiboo: For those of you just coming in, this is Fraulein Teruumi Simoneaux.

Zoe Foodiboo: Alf!

Zoe Foodiboo: oops

Karlin Lutrova: what an OUT rage

Zoe Foodiboo: Anyway, she's our newest librarian/archivist. Please welcome her.

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): guten abend

Karlin Lutrova: /me giggle soflty " no matter, I make my own coffee at home "

Adele Kling: Welcome!

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): /me claps

Alf Korhonen: Guten Tag Alle!

Adele Kling: Hallo, Rosemary

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): /me claps

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Guten tag Alf

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Danke! I'm very excited!

Jani (Janire Coba): guten tag *smiles

Lori Miles (Lorelai Winslet): Very nice to meet you, Frl. Simoneaux

Zoe Foodiboo: We had a wonderful discussion in the library last weekend and we were so excited about it, we thought we’d expand it to include all of you.

webspelunker Ghostraven: Hello Alf!

Zoe Foodiboo: Hallo Rose!

Zoe Foodiboo: Hallo Alf!

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): Hallo Alf, Nice to see you

Karlin Lutrova: /me notices the film directoer and trys to look her best

Zoe Foodiboo: Anyway, I'll be quiet and let Frl Teruumi get the ball rolling.

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): RoseMary! Hello dear

Zoe Foodiboo: Teruumi?

Alf Korhonen: Crowded here!

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Yes, indeed. Crowded :))

Zoe Foodiboo: whispers: Does everyone have a place to sit?

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): /me clears her throat and begins composing a thought "Danke Zoe"

Alf Korhonen: May I join your table, Karlin?

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): There's one seat next to me.

Zoe Foodiboo: Someone can havve my chair...I can rez my own.

Karlin Lutrova: would be a pleasure

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): there are seats available

Alf Korhonen: Danke

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Oh no, two seats.

Zoe Foodiboo: oh okay

Karlin Lutrova: gerne Mein Herr

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): As Fraulein Zoe mentioned we had a lovely chat about women last week

Alf Korhonen: I like women too!

Zoe Foodiboo: /me giggles, "I bet you do..."

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): /me chuckles

Adele Kling: haha

Karlin Lutrova: /me coughs a giggle

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I noticed that many people not even involved with Berlin or SL in general had a very one sided view of what women were like during the 20s

Zoe Foodiboo: whispers: Hallo Fraulein, have a seat

Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): /me whispers Hello Whispy

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I think we all can agree that most likely the flapper is a reaction to WWI. and the outdated society model

Karlin Lutrova: /me nods

whispy (whispy Darkstone): hello my dear

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): /me nods

whispy (whispy Darkstone): /me looks round smiling at the people around her

Adele Kling: Yes

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): And women cut their hair, started smoking, the corset was dumped. Women started to gain a voice in the society

Jani (Janire Coba): /me nods

Zoe Foodiboo: /me smiles and smokes

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): and they had jobs, so they had 'economic power', no?

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Exactly

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): indeed

Karlin Lutrova: well I knew I was smokin' but had no idea it was public knowledge

Karlin Lutrova: my late husband thought so anyway ........

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): and then I thought we roleplay women in 1929. When we look at our RL selves we can notice a change. We are influenced by all kinds of different global and private events and happenings and it changes us as people

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): But we in SL are stuck in a way, especially here in Berlin because we replay the events of 1929 but none of us have lived during that time so we can only trust our imagination

Adele Kling: and history

Zoe Foodiboo: imagination but also rooted in our research...

Jani (Janire Coba): true

Zoe Foodiboo: yes, Adele

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): yes.

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): yes, of course

Karlin Lutrova: /me nods

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): well I guess reading about the time gives us a better idea to know what to imagine...

Adele Kling: and Jo, lol

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Jo of course!

Zoe Foodiboo: Reading....and looking at photos

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): hahaha Addie

Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): And OUR interpretation of how people felt.

Jani (Janire Coba): yes

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): and also movies

Zoe Foodiboo: Yes, how can we forget Jo. Our high priestess of the 20s

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): /me nods

whispy (whispy Darkstone): i agree i think fact fiction film all help understand and enhance rp

Karlin Lutrova: yes, and stories from relatives

Zoe Foodiboo: oh yes, good point Karlin

Karlin Lutrova: that were there I mean

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): unfortunately I do not have relatives that old… :(

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): And on that note I thought it would be great for us to meet and discuss how can we enhance our roleplay

Karlin Lutrova: yeah, gives me a sense of some reality to it

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): /me nods

Jani (Janire Coba): yes, that'd be great for me since i'm new to Berlín

Karlin Lutrova: ( oh Mutti and Vati and Ottoa are all gone )

Zoe Foodiboo: Great for me, too. I often forget myself and chatter OOC stuff at inappropriate times.

Karlin Lutrova: me also

Mab Ashdene: Are there more women in Berlin than men?

Zoe Foodiboo: Yes, still.

Karlin Lutrova: rp Berlin right?

Mab Ashdene: That makes it hard.

Zoe Foodiboo: But more men seem to stay.

Mab Ashdene: Yes

webspelunker Ghostraven: Maybe because of that little misunderstanding...

webspelunker Ghostraven: The Great War.

whispy (whispy Darkstone): from my experience there are always more female avs than male

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Have you seen Boardwalk, the series? I think that show is well in terms of research regarding our time

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): For example, I did some reading here and there and I found information that by 1928 there was a new kind of flapper evolved. She danced, smoked, drove cars but she was a lot tamer from the first flappers

Karlin Lutrova: yes, Second Life™ is a women's shopping paradise

Zoe Foodiboo: Boardwalk Empire? Yes, I love it as a resource. Well, and it's entertaining.

Mab Ashdene: There are no men playing the roles of fathers or husbands.

Adele Kling: Thats interesting.

Karlin Lutrova: simply put

Mab Ashdene: Or only a few.

Adele Kling: Its early 20s, BE

webspelunker Ghostraven: Maybe because they're all dead?

Zoe Foodiboo: Tamer in what ways, Teruummi?

Jani (Janire Coba): oh, i got addicted to 20s since i watched Boardwalk Empire *laughs

whispy (whispy Darkstone): I think a sharing of resources for rp ers is always a good idea

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): I think Web is saying a good point.

Karlin Lutrova: Mutti said thee were very few men in those years anyway too

Mab Ashdene: Without the sense of having a man around or a mother around who cares what we do it is easy to go wild an play a flapper.

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): They didn't participate in petting parties, wore a lot less makeup

webspelunker Ghostraven: TY

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Some didn't even smoke or drink alcohol

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Recently I'd found out that learning about 1910s is very important to understand 1920s Berlin.

Adele Kling: Petting parties! Haven't been invited to one in years!

webspelunker Ghostraven: They sound like nuns!

Zoe Foodiboo: How so, Herr Gustav?

Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): They were becoming more respectable and "professional"

Karlin Lutrova: good to point out Gustav

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): I guess 1920s Berlin or German, is quite similar to 1960s.

Zoe Foodiboo: Now that's an interesting analogy...

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Lots of men dead or gone. And hunger gave women to position to work in society.

whispy (whispy Darkstone): and politics

webspelunker Ghostraven: That's a good point that others have made too...

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Work in a society as a matter of course.

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Amazingly watching the movie, "Berlin Symphony"

Mab Ashdene: That is interesting.

webspelunker Ghostraven: Otto Friedrich wrote of that.

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): I think there is a lack of older women also, and we have to consider that not all the females were flappers. That was actually a minority, as I understand

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): We all notice how many women are working in office.

Zoe Foodiboo: Good point, Tequila.

Mab Ashdene: When the pimp left the brothel, the women took over the running of the place.

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): And commuting. That's veyr interesting.

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Very good point indeed

Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): Yes that is a great movie

Adele Kling: Yes, Flappers were young

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): YEs, Tequila.

Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): Has anyone watched the 13 hour "berlin Alexanderplatz"

Zoe Foodiboo: But there's a whole spectrum of women not represented in our Berlin.

Karlin Lutrova: very true , flappers where thought of as dirty by some of the echelon of high society

Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): Plaenty or rp material there

Adele Kling: I love Berlin Alexanderplatz, until the end.

webspelunker Ghostraven: Who, Zoe?

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): And not all young females were flappers...it was only the daring, bold, young females

Karlin Lutrova: /me nods

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Yes!

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): sure, i've never viewed my character as a flapper

Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): Who Zoe?

Zoe Foodiboo: Older women...yes, as Tequila said, women who weren't as bold as to become a Flapper

Adele Kling: Nor mine.

Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): /me looks puzzled and curious

Jani (Janire Coba): i'd appreciate if someone knew about some films of Berlin in the 20s ((sorry for interrupting))

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): or middleaged women

Alf Korhonen: Der Letzte Mann I think

Adele Kling: About Berlin in the 20s, or shot in the 20s?

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): apart from frau Yardley, there aren't any middleaged women in Berlin as far as i can remember

Jani (Janire Coba): both would be useful to me

Mab Ashdene: There was Babette Darkfold.

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Yes, that's true

Zoe Foodiboo: No. We had a grandma type when Bubbe was here but she's long gone.

Zoe Foodiboo: Well, and Vera's mom. But she rarely makes an appearance as well.

Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): Look up early Fritz Lang movies Janire to start with

Angello Valerian: the great gastby, chanel and stravinsky, therese...

Adele Kling: I can get you a list of films, Jani.

whispy (whispy Darkstone): i came to berlin as a young modern woman, but now have bought this alt along, as a much much older woman, out of interest to how folk react, plus as a very political, perhaps even not as sweet old lady as she looks

Jani (Janire Coba): thanks greta :)

Zoe Foodiboo: Aside from it being difficult to find older women skins and shapes, I'm not sure why I continue to be a young woman as a character in Berlin.

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I think another thing we don't have is a clear social structure

Zoe Foodiboo: Hi Claire

ClaireDeAir: hiya

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): That's very interesting, Whispy.

Angello Valerian: Guten Abend

Karlin Lutrova: oh! i just saw that 13 hour film was a television series

ClaireDeAir: How are you?

Adele Kling: Hallo Claire

ClaireDeAir: hiya

webspelunker Ghostraven: Hello Claire!

webspelunker Ghostraven: Doing fine, how're you?

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): the "social structure" such as it is, is very much based on where we live

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Oh, I think there is also a huge woman, I think she is named Lolle...?

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): and it is not clear

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): she's not huge, just curvy

ClaireDeAir: wow I have never seen this many people in here before hehehe

whispy (whispy Darkstone): could the list of films go in a group notice as i would be interested please

Angello Valerian: great idea, would be a great help

Adele Kling: Ok, I can do that whispy. Sometime this week : )

Zoe Foodiboo: I love Lolle's look.

Zoe Foodiboo: and her apartment is lovely. very realistic.

Jani (Janire Coba): oh yes, thanks for the films

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): yes it is

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): how old is Lolle supposed to be?

whispy (whispy Darkstone): i have looked for good older skins and shapes for ages now i have managed to get a look i want slightly older than i ideally wanted, but i am looking forward to developing this look

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i've always thought around late 20s early 30s

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): but i don't know

Zoe Foodiboo: I'm not sure. She's a mother so I would imagine not that old.

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): OK

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Finding a good "aged" skin is bit tough in SL....

Karlin Lutrova: oh, one good shop for older type skins is MB Skins

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): it is

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): easier for men actually

Mab Ashdene: Maybe we should all have children and age.

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Oh really? I must checked it. Thanks Karlin :)

Karlin Lutrova: femme older skins I should add

Karlin Lutrova: yes, well made age skins seem few and far between

Zoe Foodiboo: I have a question. In what ways do you behave different here in Berlin as opposed to other places in SL, as a nod to historical accuracy. Aside from your appearance, I mean?

Karlin Lutrova: most looks like they ahve mud plastered faice makes lol

ClaireDeAir: lol

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Well, modesty, language...

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i play more roles here

Adele Kling: Role-playing here is very relaxed. I try to use jargon (American) from the time.

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i even call them cartoon characters

Jani (Janire Coba): well, i used to rp in versailles, and language of course was different, and protocole was super important there

Karlin Lutrova: well, that was the acccepted values

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I come here roleplay so as I said when we spoke last week, I try to approach it as a writer

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): the way we intercat as well...it it seems to be more respectful

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): and i never use long paragraphs, mainly because i don't have the patience for it

Jani (Janire Coba): here i act like.. women arr feeling more free

Zoe Foodiboo: Yes, I agree, protocol and respect here is highly valued.

Adele Kling: Respect, proper use of titles.

Mab Ashdene: I only ever roleplay here.

Karlin Lutrova: para rpl is difficult for me also

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): and those who are NOT respectful, are doing it as part of RP

Zoe Foodiboo: I forget myself with that, sometimes, Adele.

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Me too

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): (thinking of a dark alt)

Adele Kling: For me too, Karlin. I'm not that creative.

Karlin Lutrova: rude r p can be dicely though

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): also I do not think we rp like goreans…they tend to make super long literate statements in each sentence

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): also it slows down the interaction a bit, doing long paragraphs

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): but i don't mind others doing it

whispy (whispy Darkstone): i research all my roles then use my imagination... i mainly use fantasy based on mythology but always with lots of research often to be disapointed that what the sim declares does not happen ie as in much rp,,, mostly occ chat but here i have seen much potential

Jani (Janire Coba): sometimes i just stay quiet and listen cause i'm super respectful with the rp and if i notice my english can be a bit poor, just.. listen and smile hahaha

Karlin Lutrova: yes para rp I found is hard to keep a temp o

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): true

Karlin Lutrova: so to speak

Zoe Foodiboo: Oh, don't worry about your English, Jani :)

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i think that is very common for newcomers, Jani, just checking how it works in the sim, listening and learning

Zoe Foodiboo: It's an international city after all

Jani (Janire Coba): oh yes, till i finish my english degree i must stay quiet, read and learn

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i did that as well when i was new

Jani (Janire Coba): hahah

Zoe Foodiboo: True, Rose.

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): I agree Rosemary.

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I gave this example to Herr Web yesterday. Imagine five people sitting at a table

Jani (Janire Coba): aham

Karlin Lutrova: to be , it is just talking like from a script, not reciting some novel

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): /me nods

Karlin Lutrova: to be **

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Two are fully IC, two are fully OOC and one is a newbie

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): It confuses people

Karlin Lutrova: yes, very much

Adele Kling: Yes

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I felt very confused at first as to who is who

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): indeed

Jani (Janire Coba): haha yes

Karlin Lutrova: I have been in rp sims where it was VERY strict

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): haha

Karlin Lutrova: OOC an y ou got in trouble

Jani (Janire Coba): unless they use this "(())" double.. thingies ^^

Karlin Lutrova: here, find it confusing

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): that is why i think the double paragraphs ((like this)) is good to use when OOC

Zoe Foodiboo: I agree, Rose.

Angello Valerian: indeed

Karlin Lutrova: never srue if someone is OOC or not at times

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): agreed

Zoe Foodiboo: I must remember to use them.

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): even if i think we all forget it now and then

Jani (Janire Coba): paragraphs! thanks for the word haha

Karlin Lutrova: true**

Adele Kling: Yes, Berlin is lite-RP, so far.

Karlin Lutrova: /me nods

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i don't think i would like it if it was that incredibly strict

Zoe Foodiboo: Me neither.

Adele Kling: Which is fine.

whispy (whispy Darkstone): no one can apologise for their english not being good especially if it is a second or third language, some of us who are english academics are also dyslexic and out english appears awfully :D

Karlin Lutrova: I am nver good with vague rules lol

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): me neither

Zoe Foodiboo: But too loose isn't fun either....I guess we need to find that pleasant balance...

Jani (Janire Coba): haha whispy

Karlin Lutrova: I just try to deal with it =)

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Yet rp is an area of opportunity

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I agree Zoe

Karlin Lutrova: me too!

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): agree Zoe

Karlin Lutrova: may I mention?

webspelunker Ghostraven: ((For the record I'm a Marxist in RP and RL.))

Karlin Lutrova: IM ing in the middle of RP is also confusing

Karlin Lutrova: like " is this IM roleplay ? or OOC"

Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): When I came here, I was scared to death about the roleplaying.I wasn't sure what to expect. Listening to some of the residents showed me how to be "me" but still "in character". I try to keep in character but be me also.

Zoe Foodiboo: Oh, I always consider IM to be OOC.

Karlin Lutrova: its not possible in Real Life™ at any rate

Karlin Lutrova: I am find that to be a good idea Zoe

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I let people know when IIM them IC

Jani (Janire Coba): me too , greta

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): but usually I keep IMs for OOC business

Karlin Lutrova: I unintentionally have offended some because

Karlin Lutrova: I have learned to " keep rp firends in the rp sims"

Adele Kling: I try not to IM at all while in RP. If there one thing I hate is when I enter a room and everyone is quiet, sending IMs, instead of being engaged in RP chat.

Karlin Lutrova: other wise it get's too involved

Karlin Lutrova: if that makes any sense to anyone

Mab Ashdene: I like involved.

Adele Kling: It does.

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): me too Mab

Zoe Foodiboo: oh....I'm terribly guilty of that, adele. :P

Karlin Lutrova: what happens here , stays here

Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha

Karlin Lutrova: RP wise

Adele Kling: haha

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): but i think i'm guilty of it too

Karlin Lutrova: lol, I sound like mafioso

Zoe Foodiboo: But I will try to be better from now on!

Jani (Janire Coba): i use ims to ask about any rule, or doubt, or business

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): especially since i have a husband who is very fond of IM :P

Karlin Lutrova: agrees with Janire

Adele Kling: haha, Rosemary

Zoe Foodiboo: /me wiggles her eyebrows at Rose

Karlin Lutrova: well, that is ,,, a different scenario

Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): Let's face it. Some things will not translate from the 1920's to the 21st century. We, not matter how much research we do, will not be perfect 1920's people. But we can also respect the time we are in here and act as close to the times as we can.

Zoe Foodiboo: absolutely, Greta

Jani (Janire Coba): agrees

Karlin Lutrova: to be candid, the rules do indeed say to keep , uh,,, private things in IM

Karlin Lutrova: its in the tenant rules

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): I think in order to have a better rp, we all must have our roles clear…otherwise the local chat is simply not interesting

Zoe Foodiboo: I think we all do....

Karlin Lutrova: tell your husband that lol

Zoe Foodiboo: Er, I mean they all do. Not me. I'm never naughty.

Zoe Foodiboo: lol

Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha karlin

Adele Kling: /me coughs

Karlin Lutrova: /me coughs too

Mab Ashdene: Tell us about your youth and innocence, Zoe.

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Of course, but say you walk into the Keller and it's full of people but dead silent mostly. That's because everyone is IMing

Karlin Lutrova: lol just keeping it real friends

Jani (Janire Coba): me either, the naughtiest thing i've done here is to dance with gustav at eldorado

Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha

Zoe Foodiboo: /me giggles at Mab

Jani (Janire Coba): i can't be more pure and virginal than i am already here lol

Adele Kling: I hate that Teruumi

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Oh, Jani LOL

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): me too

Karlin Lutrova: the naugtiest for me I think is muttting a milllion fire places here

Karlin Lutrova: lol

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): yes, it's like a film by Ingemar Bergman, silence everywhere

Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha karlin

Karlin Lutrova: is that bad?

Karlin Lutrova: muting,

Mab Ashdene: I will not get into my naughtiness.

Jani (Janire Coba): if i'm quiet is cause i am distracted and afk or i'm ready to learn some rp lol

Karlin Lutrova: I learned a trick

Adele Kling: ((For the newcomers, we have a Facebook page. I'm thinking thats a good place to post the film list, as that way oithers can contribute.))

Karlin Lutrova: I hide in a phone booth

Pola Solo: Hi!

Karlin Lutrova: if I dont want interaction

Zoe Foodiboo: POla!

Mab Ashdene: Darling!

Adele Kling: Hello Pola

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): Hallo Pola

Zoe Foodiboo: YOu made it!

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Pola! Hallo!

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Hi Pola

Zoe Foodiboo: Isn't this lovely? Full house!

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Hello Pola :)

Jani (Janire Coba): may i ask something?

Karlin Lutrova: gruess dich Pola =)

whispy (whispy Darkstone): ty i will look for the fb page

Adele Kling: : )

Adele Kling: your welcome

Jani (Janire Coba): should we have in our profile pics the a little description of our character?

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I do

Zoe Foodiboo: I think that's up to you....

Zoe Foodiboo: Everyone has a different take on it

Karlin Lutrova: I thought of putting that in picks

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Me too. I alos posted a Bio in FB

Karlin Lutrova: its not for everyone in Second Life™ ofcourse

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): and I keep a NC where I write up more stuff for myself

Jani (Janire Coba): i mean, so others know why we act in some way, i ont know

Zoe Foodiboo: Some prefer not to because then they can really "meet" people and get to know them the way they would in RL.

Karlin Lutrova: and putting in pics is good advert for Berlin 1929 =)

Adele Kling: I have some info. I like to learn about people by interacting with them in RP, but I give a little background.

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): some of us have created backgrounds for our characters, and i know that it helps, it's easier to understand why our characters do what they do

Karlin Lutrova: /me nods

whispy (whispy Darkstone): i like to put my chars in picks, but i like to float around listening and developing first see where i can slot in

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I keep a short blurb in my picks and then when I rp needs it I share more

Mab Ashdene: I don't really think of myself as a character.

Zoe Foodiboo: Also, there are oral history interviews you can read on Flickr. To learn more about the histories of some of the old timers.

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): good point RoseMary

Karlin Lutrova: my character is obesessed with her dead husband lol

Zoe Foodiboo: Mab, Pola, Tequila, Rose...theirs are all there.

Adele Kling: Correct, but do we have to give a full bio in our profile? For me, it kind of ruins the RP fun.

Karlin Lutrova: maybe too much

Jani (Janire Coba): i agree adele

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Agreed

Karlin Lutrova: me too, to a point

Jani (Janire Coba): i meant like... where we're from, or how i ended in berlin, idk

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): yes it's fun to find out each others background stories the "normal" way

Mab Ashdene: Pola darling, am I a character or am I myself?

Karlin Lutrova: its a good idea, so another may have material on what to ask you about

Zoe Foodiboo: Is Pola drunk?

Jani (Janire Coba): loool

Zoe Foodiboo: Why is she sleeping?

Mab Ashdene: Usually.

Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha pola

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): To me it, helps my character reacting to events if I understand where it comes from

Karlin Lutrova: thats why I meantion Otto sometimes

Zoe Foodiboo: see - rp at its finest! :P

Pola Solo: You are a version of yourself.

Mab Ashdene: Interesting.

Karlin Lutrova: to give ppl a idea from which to ask about or rp

ClaireDeAir: Even actors sometimes do a version or themselves.

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): yes Claire

Karlin Lutrova: and my ultra concertvie doting mother in Danzig

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): /me nods

Karlin Lutrova: well yes, "method acting"

Mab Ashdene: I mention grandfather and the mountains sometimes.

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): In a way we are acting

Jani (Janire Coba): hahahaha

Pola Solo: /me giggles.

Jani (Janire Coba): yes mab

Karlin Lutrova: like Dustin Hoffman said his was techique

Jani (Janire Coba): you made me laugh a lot yesterday, you funny woman

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Exceot that the script is being written while we do that

Karlin Lutrova: in his early years of cineama I

Karlin Lutrova: should say

whispy (whispy Darkstone): improvisation is how i think of rp,,,, something i love

Karlin Lutrova: has to be improv!

Karlin Lutrova: I totally agree

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): yes!

ClaireDeAir: I love to do improv

Karlin Lutrova: it's not like we are professional actorls

ClaireDeAir: it is a lot of fun.

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): hahah Karlin

Adele Kling: thats for sure

Karlin Lutrova: let alone that face its hit an miss when any of us are here

whispy (whispy Darkstone): which is where the place and lose rules set the scene along with brief character background

Karlin Lutrova: =)

Mab Ashdene: Pola and I practice our routines at home before showing up at the Eldo.

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): since i use some alts showing different personalities, i often curse the fact that i'm on as the wrong character, since i may for instance in a discussion know the perfect thing for one of my alts to say, but the problem is that i am not online as the right person

Mab Ashdene: We are no good at improv.

Karlin Lutrova: its not a complaint, more a observation, but its hard to know what to plan in rp

Zoe Foodiboo: Sure you are! Your interview was hysterical.

Karlin Lutrova: even from one week to the next

Karlin Lutrova: if that makes sense to anyone ?

Jani (Janire Coba): alts? for rp?

Pola Solo: We improvise reluctantly, and grumble a lot.

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): yes it does

Jani (Janire Coba): i'd go insane

Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha

Jani (Janire Coba): this is my one and only avi

ClaireDeAir: I am an musician and I do some acting, myself.

Karlin Lutrova: just saying, thats why improv is really the only choice

Karlin Lutrova: not a bad thing mind you =)

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): I only use this avi also

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): me too

Karlin Lutrova: same here I should say this set up and outfits

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): and it proves to be tiring sometimes

Karlin Lutrova: thoug, I do like to go bout sometimes

Zoe Foodiboo: I use my grandpa on occasion. I'm not good at being an old man tho.

Adele Kling: haha

Karlin Lutrova: just today someone asked me about this rp sim

Karlin Lutrova: I was n a sneaker sshop

Jani (Janire Coba): if you all use alts i wont find a husband, in case is any of you, mean women

Karlin Lutrova: anyway, she might come

Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): But I mean, even if having cear roles in the city, sometimes rp simply does not happen…Like Morgie has all those stores, and Addie have the photo studio. How many of you had visited her studios to rp a portrait?

Karlin Lutrova: what if I brought Otto back from the dea d?

Karlin Lutrova: in an lat Oo

Karlin Lutrova: alt lol

Adele Kling: Yeah, how many?

Adele Kling: /me laughs

Zoe Foodiboo: Well, I did ask Adele and we talked, but we're rarely on at the same time.

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i haven't, but i will :)

Karlin Lutrova: that would be quite a gossip topic at least in the Keller

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Very good point

Jani (Janire Coba): the thing is... Morganic is too quiet, and i don't dare to speak to him :$

Zoe Foodiboo: there goes the sun

Karlin Lutrova: not too far fetched really

Jani (Janire Coba): he scares me

Adele Kling: Morganic is often afk, hard to RP with him.

Karlin Lutrova: tea leave reading, and all that was the rage

Zoe Foodiboo: He scares you? aw. He's the sweetest man....

Zoe Foodiboo: and so funny

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): but i think Elvina stole some developer fluid from you, Adele

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): I have seen a lot of people taking on roles such as workers in the places, and rp simply does not happenɽ

Adele Kling: But you can hang out at his shops, they are fun.

Jani (Janire Coba): haha i dont know him, maybe that's why

Karlin Lutrova: naaah, its that card board cheef that creeps me out

Adele Kling: Og gawd, hope she doesn't drink it.

Karlin Lutrova: he keeps staring at me !

Jani (Janire Coba): hahahahahha

Karlin Lutrova: the pervert , don't yu know

Zoe Foodiboo: Morgy's such a dear.

Adele Kling: He is

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): Morganic's really not that much into RP, as far as i know, he's into building and organizing

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): hahaha Karlin...Hope Honoria doesn't hear you saying that

Adele Kling: Yes, Rosemary.

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): he's like everybody's brother :)

Karlin Lutrova: he has a heart

Karlin Lutrova: I can tell even behind the screen =)

Zoe Foodiboo: True, he doesn't rp much. But he's very knowledgeable about the period. He's a good resource and fun to talk to.

Jani (Janire Coba): hey, jo

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): yes agree

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): yes

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): ah missed it, blasted

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Guten Abend Frau Jo

Zoe Foodiboo: Hallo Frau Jo

Zoe Foodiboo: Well, we're still talking.

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Hallo Frau Jo

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): /me waves to Frau Jo

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): No, you're just in time to continue

Karlin Lutrova: the comment on the mr cardboard was not a relfection on that adorable man

Zoe Foodiboo: There's a couple of seats.

Mab Ashdene: Just in time for gossip.

Jani (Janire Coba): i said maybe he scares me cause i dont know him

Karlin Lutrova: uhoh, that Frau Yardley is here

Angello Valerian: Guten Abend Fray Jo

Karlin Lutrova: everone look busy !

webspelunker Ghostraven: Hello Frau Jo!

Alf Korhonen: I still looking at the girls! :)

Jani (Janire Coba): but he stays there, quiet, with his moustache, and scares me :$

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Anyone would be able to make a little synthesis for Frau Jo? I do not think we have met any agreements, have we?

Karlin Lutrova: lol greetings Jo !

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): Morganic is friendly and has a lot of knowledge of the time, i've learnt lots from him

Zoe Foodiboo: hahaha, Alf

Alf Korhonen: They are so cute!

Karlin Lutrova: synthesis?

Zoe Foodiboo: Well, no, but many interesting perspectives were shared.

Karlin Lutrova: what do you mean Tequila =)

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): she means a quick sum up

Zoe Foodiboo: I think we agreed we want more old people. and fat people. er, curvy.

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): forget about it

Karlin Lutrova: oh , I'm sorry , dont mind me

Karlin Lutrova: I think that was about language

Pola Solo: Hallo Frau Jo.

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): and more rp

Karlin Lutrova: sorry :(

Mab Ashdene: Shall I go fat and old?

Zoe Foodiboo: oh yes, brackets

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): oh, and that not everyone has to be a flapper

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): we will soon

webspelunker Ghostraven: speak for yourselves!

Karlin Lutrova: what if I do undead like the Nosforatu film in berlin at that time

Jani (Janire Coba): in rl indeed rosemary haha

Karlin Lutrova: wasn't the Jack the Ripper story orginated from Berlin?

whispy (whispy Darkstone): if you all go fat and old i will have to go back to the younger av i arrived with lol

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): in sl too but it takes some time :D

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): and we spoke about developing backgrounds for our characters

Jani (Janire Coba): i miss some policemen bothering people

Jani (Janire Coba): to be honest

Jani (Janire Coba): lol

Karlin Lutrova: Jac des Messer?

Karlin Lutrova: or some thing

Karlin Lutrova: I recalll that 3 penny oper tune

Jani (Janire Coba): like: your skirt is short! you havent paid your rent! or... your car is there in the middle or nowhere

Jani (Janire Coba): i dont know

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): I think we need a criminal organization, lol

Jani (Janire Coba): just bothering

Jani (Janire Coba): lol

Jani (Janire Coba): oh yessss

Jani (Janire Coba): criminals in berlin

webspelunker Ghostraven: It would help!

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): Vera started one last autumn, but then it all ended

Karlin Lutrova: may I ask?

Zoe Foodiboo: we had one, didn't we?

Zoe Foodiboo: Mo's gone

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): why did it end?

Karlin Lutrova: where tere even usch a thing a women as polizeii?

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Mo was attacking my door the other day

Zoe Foodiboo: I think cause Vera left.

Karlin Lutrova: in those years?

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): he's back apparentky

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): vera vanished, she does that sometimes

Karlin Lutrova: there **

Zoe Foodiboo: He was? I never see him anymore....

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): and yes there were female members of the kriminal polizei

ClaireDeAir: /camto offf

Karlin Lutrova: I am sorry, but its very difficult to type when every letter appears 2 seconds later sorry for errors

Jani (Janire Coba): were there criminal women?

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): of course

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): of course

Adele Kling: Always!

Karlin Lutrova: I wonder , if my rp can go in taht direction Jo

ClaireDeAir: /camto off

Karlin Lutrova: I need to research that

Zoe Foodiboo: I don't see why not.

whispy (whispy Darkstone): i arrived as a young preformer,,, but realised that perhaps there are many of them with the flappers,,,, so bought in granny to explore less filled rp groups etc

Angello Valerian: there is a kind of army ... At least two military who can protect us haha

Mab Ashdene: I broke into the cafe earlier.

Karlin Lutrova: awesome , then I can scold men for rude behavior

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Criminal women is a must have…they help a lot as they are less suspicious of things

Karlin Lutrova: lo l jk

Jani (Janire Coba): haha yes

Telephone: whispers: Thank you! Click the telephone to place your call

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): there always have been and always will be ciminal women

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): yes

Jani (Janire Coba): we need criminals, murderers, kidnappers, and policemen

Karlin Lutrova: you mean polizei yes Jo?

Mab Ashdene: But surely not VERY criminal women.

Alf Korhonen: Hei isä! Se Alf poikasi!

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): /me looks at Pola

Karlin Lutrova: or do you mean women that did crime

Jani (Janire Coba): it's just a suggestions, lol ,and idea

Zoe Foodiboo: We have policemen

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): kriminal polizei is a division of the police

webspelunker Ghostraven: Female Party members were considered criminals by some.

Jani (Janire Coba): but zoe are they active rpers?

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): Elvina is quite harmless as a criminal

Zoe Foodiboo: Alf, are you alright?

Alf Korhonen: "Muistatko minut! Miten äiti?"

Karlin Lutrova: interestint, I must research that Jo

Jani (Janire Coba): (idk, just asking since i'm new to here)

Zoe Foodiboo: I think they are, Jani. I ran one over a couple of weeks ago.

Mab Ashdene: Pola, are we criminals?

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): its not much walking on the streets but more doing work at police stations and dealing with prisoners

Alf Korhonen: Sorryv talking to dad in Vienna! Line is bad

Karlin Lutrova: ah, desk work

Pola Solo: We are sort of demimonde, I think

Karlin Lutrova: actually makes sense

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Yes, the police that checks the political events is different than criminal police, no?

Alf Korhonen: "Onko sinulla aikaa käydä Berliini pian!"

webspelunker Ghostraven: Typically!

Zoe Foodiboo: oh, sim police vs rp police you mean?

ClaireDeAir: How do you become a police officer here?

Jani (Janire Coba): or maybe sudenly.... someone with a gun threating people at der keller

Karlin Lutrova: I really must read more than I am if I expect to be in character at all

Jani (Janire Coba): lol

Mab Ashdene: Is auctioning underage boys criminal?

Jani (Janire Coba): that'd be funny

Alf Korhonen: "On lopetettava nyt, koska se on kallista soittaa!"

webspelunker Ghostraven: I have some knowledge of these matters.

whispy (whispy Darkstone): women political activists from the sufferagettes to communists and anarchist did political actions to get noticed then as now

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): people are invited to join the police

ClaireDeAir: ok

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): So, criminal police could be easily rp'ed without interfering with Dantiz

ClaireDeAir: great

Karlin Lutrova: uh, Berlin was wild and progressive but not THAT much

Alf Korhonen: "Terveys äiti katsottuna Voi pian!"

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): criminal police?

Alf Korhonen: "Hyvästi isä!"

Karlin Lutrova: good pont Tequila

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): problem is that in berlin police has real powers and are sim maanagers

ClaireDeAir: a bod cop

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): so we cant make anyone a cop

ClaireDeAir: bad*

Alf Korhonen: Dam line!

Jani (Janire Coba): oh

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): the second you have a badge people assume you're a manager

Karlin Lutrova: maybe rp polizei could interefere with actually Sim security

Jani (Janire Coba): but we can make anyone a criminal with a gun

Karlin Lutrova: never thought of that

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): yes, we would need to separate the groups

Jani (Janire Coba): attacking your der keller

Alf Korhonen: Back!

Jani (Janire Coba): and scaring women

Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha

Mab Ashdene: I once got locked up for pulling a gun.

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): so who would be considered as a good cop in Berlin?

Mab Ashdene: But I didn't mean to shoot it!

Karlin Lutrova: shame on you !

Zoe Foodiboo: it's fun getting arrested

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): it is!

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): i know we have one or two corrupt cops

Alf Korhonen: Shoot and kill

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Yes, police forces have divisions as far as I understand…some place investigate protests and political crimes, while the criminal police would be on charge of investigating murderers, no? then there is the drug police…if I am right….

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): but most take their job seriously, if only they could be online more

Karlin Lutrova: so man y directions to do with that idea lol

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): any kind of hapenning is fun to take part in

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): some of our cops even have rl law experience :)

Alf Korhonen: My mother was still ill but my father might come next week to Berlin! Depends on mothers health

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): the major RP event in Berlin is getting closer and closer

webspelunker Ghostraven: Or they could be NSA!

Karlin Lutrova: is it ok to bring up the subject of , the politics that was more and more of what Berlinweould be?

Karlin Lutrova: I know its a deliccate subject but

Karlin Lutrova: I enjoy referranes to actual events

Karlin Lutrova: at the time

Karlin Lutrova: Jo?

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): you can discus nazism all you want, just stay away from being a proper antisemite

Karlin Lutrova: well yes ofcourse not that

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): the second we start tp suspect being all excited about jolly nazism is more than just roleplay, you're at trouble

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): the newspapers help us find things to talk about too

Zoe Foodiboo: whispers: Hallo Ludwig!

Ludwig Caesar (Ludwig2005 Resident): huh.....

Karlin Lutrova: but well, maybe its too complicated to try an incorporate that element

Karlin Lutrova: most of it at the time was in Bavaria anyway

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): And you can always be with or against nazism, no? In RL not every German citizen would be in agreement with it

Jani (Janire Coba): uhm... i wouldnt be comfortable talking about nazism

Jani (Janire Coba): so i'd be quiet again lol

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): then don't

Karlin Lutrova: was that ok to bring up? I just really like to know any guiddelines about that

Karlin Lutrova: me either, not in a supporting way at all

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): we're not making mandatory rules, just discussing possibilities

Zoe Foodiboo: sharing ideas

Jani (Janire Coba): yep

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i find that it happens that we talk about nazis, but that we often just regard them as silly bavarians

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): berlin was a "red" city and mostly anti nazi, even in 1933 the nazis didnt get half the votes

Karlin Lutrova: my character does not support the Reds either btw

Jani (Janire Coba): oh, then alright

Mab Ashdene: I like men in uniform.

Jani (Janire Coba): i can talk about them as silly bavarians

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): but now and then I do let slip that I agree with the nazis on art and the decadence of society, then again socialists agreed with that as well

Jani (Janire Coba): problem sorted ^^

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): and communists

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): or as bumpkins, the way city folk often view people in the countryside

Karlin Lutrova: I agree with Jo

Angello Valerian: i'd prefer a kind of Berlin mafia, than a lot of politicians around us hahah

Jani (Janire Coba): mafia

Jani (Janire Coba): yes!

Karlin Lutrova: some of their values may ahve made sense

Karlin Lutrova: but thats all really imo

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i remember there were some maffia RP starting some years ago

whispy (whispy Darkstone): hitler was a very charismatic character good speaker just like mussilini, they woed the public or some were just not comfortable with politics more liked fun others took politics very seriously

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): stupid modern art and architecture

Karlin Lutrova: unfortunately true Whispy

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): but it may have been more based on Italy than Germany

Karlin Lutrova: very persuasive

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): I hope people see the movie M and get excited about creating a Berlin based underworld

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): prostitutes, thieves, beggars

Karlin Lutrova: Hind Site is perfect sit so, ppl didnt know

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): like in that movie, not like al capone

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): I read a book that is called 'the wet fish' and it is very interesting, involving some Russian gold that is leading to several murders, but the book is not translated to English for some weird reason

Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): that would give so much dimension to the town

Karlin Lutrova: isi t just tittled " M"?

webspelunker Ghostraven: Those are small potatoes....

Alf Korhonen: I can just say it is a great movie and if you have not seen it! you should!

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): M is really an interesting movie indeed.

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): Yes, M, 1931, one of the best movies ever

Karlin Lutrova: oh,it was a romaticiised crimenal?

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): a classic

webspelunker Ghostraven: Organized crime is about extortion, blackmail, fencing, and the like!

Alf Korhonen: it is with sound as well!

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): there is also a magazine about RL crime at the newspaper kiosk here

Zoe Foodiboo: Maybe it'll play again at the Babylon

Karlin Lutrova: fun

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): and I try to put in as many crime stories into the newspaper as I can, but just don't have enough time to write one every day

Karlin Lutrova: btw, are those magazines here readable as a HUD kindd of thing?

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): No, but I am thinking about making one with turnable pages

Karlin Lutrova: Ive only bought posted art on the city walls and suck

Karlin Lutrova: such

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): you suck walls?

Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): oh right

Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Oh great!

Karlin Lutrova: well, it was nice knowing you Alf

Mab Ashdene: Pola, you are not the criminal underground.

Zoe Foodiboo: Frau Jo!

Zoe Foodiboo: my goodness.

Jani (Janire Coba): just.... too sincere maybe

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): May I participate in that one? I love shopping...The fashion police arrests Alf!

Jani (Janire Coba): but right

Alf Korhonen: Yw Karlin

Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): be nice to Alf!

Karlin Lutrova: actually true, I mention that too with good intention Alf
