Do you involve yourself in whoring?

I have played many whores! (or bought many a whore.)

I avoid whores for the most part. I'm uncomfortable with it, but still roleplay accordingly.

This is pretty simple, and stems from the Whoring talk in World Discussion.

Discuss your experiences with whoring, if you used to not (at all) and now do, and so forth. What changed your mind?

I still think the best closure you get in Armageddon is just moving on to the next character.

It was just so cheap and we were on vacation.

Err ... wait do you mean whoring in game?

Yes. I don't want to know about your diseases IRL.

That strikes up an idea: Players should discuss if they've ever roleplayed a contracted disease.

The poll options don't seem quite right to me.

I've had characters who used whores virtually all the time. But I don't whore otherwise.

Sorry, I forgot the option:

Buys whores frequently, but have never played a whore.

My Bynner had a Trooper in her unit who suffered very openly from crotch rot. It was probably the most hilarious story arc I encountered in that clan. He also had a VNPC son that he beat, but that's a little off-topic.
And I vanish into the dark
And rise above my station

I've done a couple whore-likes. I generally can't stand to be anything but funny whores, though. Being sultry is just plain gross for me to roleplay.

I've never played a whore, and I probably never will - as it's just not something that interests. One of my past characters was involved in hiring whores out though, disgusting 'rinthi whores. Yay. I've also never hired a whore, though I've had a character that probably would have made use of male concubines and such virtually. I don't feel the need to RP this side of my characters lives really.

It's not that I am uncomfortable with the idea of whoring being part of the world or anything like that. I quite enjoy the added grit that the idea brings to Arm, however I personally am just more interested in other parts of the game.

I don't always act superior... but when I do it's on the forums of a text-based game

I am a whore for Arm.

Modern concepts of fair trials and justice are simply nonexistent in Zalanthas. If you are accused, you are guilty until someone important decides you might be useful. It doesn't really matter if you did it or not.

I usually stick to vNPCs.

People don't make use of male PC whores enough, but I have played a few. Mostly, they end up earning their living through other means, but don't mind taking a handful of 'sid to blow a dude.

Can you limit the cat race discussion to one thread, ale six?

I think she meant a cat-girl krathi-assassin. That way she can purr, swish her tail, burst into flames and backstab you all mid-coitus. She just probably didn't want to totally give up her uber-sweet idea!

Whatever. It doesn't really add much to the conversation at hand, however. Which is I -think- the point Flurry was making.

Ghardoan:A pitiful voice rises from the well below, "I've fallen and I can't get up..."

You're not going to rest until we have another everyone's-pissed-about-cat-people-or-pissed-about-people-pissed-about-cat-people explosion, are you?

I think flurry missed her blatant sarcasm.

Trying to escape the whining about cat people and finding it spilling into other threads rankles. That's all. No offense or derail intended.

'Lady' is a bit too much credit, I'd say.

There's a reason CRW got a twit flag.
There is no general doctrine which is not capable of eating out our morality if unchecked by the deep-seated habit of direct fellow-feeling with individual fellow-men. -George Eliot

I haven't really played very long, and haven't met any whores in the game, but I think trying to play one would be interesting.
That's the kind of wooley-headed liberal thinking that leads to being eaten.
