*Slaps Mordachai* we re on latreens and loos now. And Raven im the same i require at least one latreen for realisms sake.....and yes most sims have 1 toilet now. but Ar....you should probably have about 10.

Anyone got the quotes to back that up?

course, from yet another perspective: Try and find a physician after a raid, i daresay in most cases you fail to find one. I remember having to make appointments in IM a week in advance to get some stuff done by a physician, or only one out of the eight physicians in group was ever there to do any work. That kinda puts a damper on the "ok, today im playing injured" idea.

Hey I am always around after a raid. In fact, I've been known to go around and say "I'm a healer does anyone need a band-aid?" Yeah... no one seems to want one!

At the other end of the side, as a physician, I do not find doing endless amount of arrow wound and badaging to be the most appealing way to spend my RP time. While I don't mind doing caste work and really enjoy medical RPs; that is not the only type of RPs I am capable of doing.

I don't think RPing all minor injuries are necessary and becomes trite after time. Although, from time to time, dropping in at the infirmary for a wound could help with realism and help physicians (especially apprentices) gain valuable caste experience. I find the more interesting RP comes from severe and near death wounds hence my focus on surgery.

For example, I had two meter deaths in which both patients decided on near death injury with extensive surgery. One, also had grave injury which he would not realistically recover his eyes.. but none of them would accept permanent death and injury.. so we came up with an acceptable way to fit into their storyline while respecting that the character did suffer a major health setback. One even thought about getting a scar for the occasion. I find these types of RPs can greatly enhance character development and enjoy collaborating with.

So while I don't think going to the infirmary after every raid is necessary; I do think that: if you somehow get hit by a Kur and miraculously live, suffer the blue flame of the PK, or have a massive trauma including severed limbs... a trip to the infirmary might be in order.. and who knows you might actually enjoy the RP.

But at the end of the day, we all have limited time of how we want to RP and I suppose if you really can't be bothered with medical RP; don't do it. Last thing I want is to feel rushed or that I am imposing on someone else's time. As I could be off doing other things as well. So I never approach anyone for medical RPs. I figure if the person really wanted it. They can come to the infirmary or find a physician. That's why I am usually standing at or near the infirmary when I am logged and not in a middle of a scene. I did have one of those online indicators in Cyprianus and for some reason, no one ever used them.

I was on a hunt in the Old Thentis and had been drinking allot of water so I RP'd that I needed to take a leak. I looked for a latreen but could not find one so I found a bush. Well of course I rp'd it out but just as I was doing that a FW came by and greeted me.  Needless to say when I made my piss post with her there the role play turned quite funny when she turned about 100 shades of red, studdered and blinked etc.

She was in my IM's rolling laughing saying she has never seen anyone rp'd the course of nature in SL Gor and no, I was not able to give her more to see

[Blade Snowdrop]

honestly i woulda had mine equipped...if its out in rp its attached lol

Adding latrines?  Oh lordy... I don't think people are prepared for the ICA=ICC rule when it involves the infamous 'shitter'.  Who is going to clean it?  Duh!  Who is going to want to wake up with a sandal covered or boot full of IT when the slave you sent off to do that work decides to get a little payback....

could add another element of plausible RP and storylines... but I suddenly got the morbid thought of the old expression "Hurry Lassie, go get help!  Timmeh just fell down the well!" .. and it's not quite the drinking water well...

Edit:

Likewise, the issue of indestructibles is largely a matter of not following the basic rules of ICA=ICC and in the extreme sense it's very poor roleplay and outright god-moding.  People simply outright ignore the consequences of battles they engage in, so the wounds don't happen.  Or they make up some crazy excuse such as their avatar represents an NPC that gets littered with a score of arrows by the opposing side, or hacked apart by enemy warriors, but it's not them.

And it ties back to the various other discussions and debates revolving around perma-death and how everyone has a right to login to SL Gor and roleplay what is enjoyable to them, and be damned if anyone can influence that fun otherwise.  I have to largely agree to that.. it's really not my place to determine that for others.  But then, it's not their right to determine mine either, is it?  The consideration has to work both ways and if it cannot then perhaps its best if the person limits their interactions to disposable NPCs and first person shooter games with AI controlled enemies, and not a roleplay environment that requires it.
