Shouting the Dojo Agenda

I still struggle on a daily basis, thinking that this appointment to the Dojo is just not my thing. I have not yet taken an opportunity to share the Dojo Agenda with anyone not already a member. I feel relieved to find an excuse when distracted with other activities that would prevent me from taking a walk to the city center to meet with the general public. Whether it is OOC or Role play I simple do not like drawing attention to myself. In an attempt to fulfill my obligations I am contemplating an alternate solution by posting an announcement in the shout channel as follows.

Pardon this interruption for a PR guild announcement. I would like to take this moment to offer my time in answering questions you might have regarding the Tennen Rishin Ryu Takemi Dojo. The Dojo invites all Character classes, races and genders equally within its member ranks. The Dojo is a place for learning, socializing, role play, group hunting and developing combat skills.

The Dojo inherited its flavor from the Japanese culture but has been adapted to fit into the society created by the PR Council. Members are expected to respect the Bushido Code while learning to apply its Virtues to everyday life in Lenn Amar. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me via Tells or check the forum under guilds.

Another week in Heroshi's life

The new leader of the Dojo, Ando was chatting with Lord Cougar and Periwinkle. Ando feels positive about preparing a proposal to make a request on behalf of the players of the server that would also be well utilized by the Dojo. He asked for the game world designers to create some new areas with some atmosphere for a DM to create a story line or adventure. The areas should be void of monsters and special effects so that it would not be contributing to lag. This is all well and good if you have captured the enthusiasm of a DM willing to dedicate time to this end but from my observations recently, there are no DMs with such time and dedication who would be up for the challenge. Ando mentioned both Xeno and Periwinkle, but my optimism is lacking as of late. In fact my optimism has been lacking in regards to a few more situations within the game server over the past week. I still have not found a comfort zone with Heroshi being in public attempting to promote the Dojo agenda. Secondly when asked if I was interested in participating in a private group session to discipline our submissive I felt very uncomfortable with the idea. And lastly this troubled girl returned to the server and reminded me how uncomfortable I felt with her way of sharing the negative details of situations she fell into. I get the idea that she is subtly looking for someone to rescue her from the mess she finds herself in. So far I managed to dodge that pitfall by reasoning with her like a father knows best attitude and a condescending tone. Anyways, within all this rambling I frequently wish to disappear into the wood work to avoid these situations but being visible is one expectation for my position in the Dojo.
