World of Warcraft®

Recently I've come up with a rather grand idea but it involves not one, but both of the taverns in the Mage Quarter. So I was wondering if anyone in particular has laid claim to them recently or is using them regularly?

Alright, loser.

(Long time, no see ;D)

To my knowledge they're vacant, or at the least very rarely put to use by the same people. I've seen roleplayers hang around both of them however, so regardless of ownership, they're far from forgotten in RP.

I can't comment on the Lamb, but I've had Thalmon hang about in the Recluse most days for a while now, and he's encountered about 1 person, so I say go for it!

Everyone likes grand ideas.

We usually hang out in the Blue Recluse whenever we're in the city. We would definately welcome regular bar service by other players, if that's what you have in mind!

Well we had a test run on the Saturday night and it was very successful.

However since my break from Sunday there appears to be a guild called <Blue Recluse Tavern> so I'm slightly confused about how to continue here...

Well I suppose regardless I can at least see how a Lamb night works too.

Nice to see you've got some interest in a tavern or two again Ryle, might liven them up a bit and give some variety outside of the Pig.

Hi there,

My IRL Friend recently started the Blue Recluse Tavern. Character named Eniah if you were interested in speaking to him regarding your project?

:)

Of note, running a tavern night inside a tavern without needing to re-name or have "new ownership" of said taverns means that there would rarely be any conflict, instead there would simply be a rotation of staff throughout the week(s). Simply be sure to let each other know when your crew can play staff, and you should be fine. It work(ed) with the Broken Keel, with Gazlowe retaining ownership and Wiley continuing to be the Inkeeper, but a transient staff working the place under them.

Hello there Ryle! Keep in mind that the Slaughtered Lamb belongs to the warlock community. It's merely a cover up for what hides beneath, and should in my oppinion not be owned by anyone that is not directly connected to that place.

It would to start with never be for sale, and you cannot disregard the fact that the basement is full if warlocks and demons, and that people will walk up and down your basement to see them.

I would personally hate to see it turned into a tavern full of drunken Stormwegians, because so far it's remained quite peacefull and is a grand spot for the locks to actually be able to RP within the walls of Stormwind.

Leta just say that it has worked well to serve as to what it is.

Ah well I was intending to keep the Lamb as sort of the tavern for the shadiest types. A place to hide away from prying eyes etc.

And as for the Warlocks in the basement I was going to help them in the sense that I'd keep their upstairs relatively normal looking as to disuade attention to their activities down there. I think it would be fitting what with the Club having the two sides to it's own operations.

And as for people running down there... Well they do that anyway. Hell, IC I imagine most people know what goes on down there but chooses to ignore it not wishing to stir up trouble. I remember a number of different occasions where things have been going on in the crypts beneath and the majority simply scowled or rolled their eyes at the warlocks, or something to that like. It's a game related thing that you cannot change, so people seem to work around it anyway.

The grand scheme of things I was going to have the Pig be the general rowdy tavern that the average Joe goes to (although I'd have nothing to do with it, as it practically runs itself these days), the Recluse be the upper class establishment where the elite meet to ea-.. Eh drink. Even going to far to include a doorman and dress code. And the Lamb being what I mentioned above.

"E'll be expectin' me first bribe on friday, ye fancyhatter."

Good to see you folks back, or atleast proof that you still exist.

Hello again! And sure, as long as you do not forget about what that tavern is truly for.

And what i meant about the running down the basement was not ppl actually running up and down, but warlocks that IC'ly comes to do so, and this being something you will have to "ignore" and accept. IC'ly.

Actually! I just got an idea. I realize thay one cannot controll every person that claims to own access to the basement ( and gor some reason every second deathknight seem to think he does) but it would actually be pretty cool if you would concider a doorman at the basement door, that only gives access to locks. Could help us perhaps to atleast keep the downstairs as clean as possible.

Anyway, as above posters has already mentioned, it's good to see the Club back in action, even tho i am still hesitant about using the Lamb.

For us to be back we would have to have left. It is when you don't see us that you should fear us the most.

Edit: I mean please visit our taverns, we'll be very friendly.

o/ Can feel them tears coming.

This is ludicrously exciting.

Hello there Ryle! Keep in mind that the Slaughtered Lamb belongs to the warlock community.

Whoever's running the tavern will at least have to know what's going on downstairs however the tavern itself doesn't necessarily need to 'belong' to the warlock community. In fact it might make for some interesting RP if a seperate but criminal group owns the upstairs as it'd lead to underground political alliances (both sides could use the other) and can lead to some interesting conflicts when the two disagree.

This. While a few more people would be welcome there's the fact that the Lamb is one of the places where Warlocks can roleplay their class in relative safety.

but it would actually be pretty cool if you would concider a doorman at the basement door, that only gives access to locks.

The problem with this is that having a doorman just seems to make people more likely to attempt to pass them. It's actually easier to have no doorman to make people less likely to try that.

My opinion on the concept as a whole:
I'm not sure if there are any 'lock guilds left other than the EL personally but if either the EL or another guild were to work with the LBC on this it'd be able to florsh I feel. Also the cover for people going down the stairs should be a 'VIP' area kind of thing.

Aye, you're most likely right about the doorman idea.

But yes - seeing that Ryle is respecting the fact that the tavern is what it is, then I am more then willing to work something out with the LBC.

LBC keeps order upstairs, and we make sure the secret of downstairs remains a secret; this way both our "businesses" will be secured, and done so with proper communication.

Ill contact you either on the AA if you have an account there Ryle, or in the game in two or so weeks. I hope this interests you as well.

Thanks for your oppinion Carees - and why are you guildless? *wink*

I'd strongly urge you to reconsider using the Slaughtered Lamb, largely due to the reasons Ashkaar has already outlined. It's something of a meeting ground for many warlock role-players wishing to remain discreet and I cannot help but point to the - sadly now removed - warlock quest which had a noble murdered for snooping around the area.

This can be evidenced here: http://www.wowpedia.org/Quest:A_Noble_Brew

All in all, I'd suggest using the Shady Lady instead. It boasts a similar sinister atmosphere without stepping on the toes of warlock role-players, who are already few and far between as it stands.

After all, it wouldn't make much sense for us to prance into the cathedral just because game mechanics allow us to. I can only hope our own territory won't be invaded in turn, since it'd only bring up a lot of awkward immersion issues when people start asking why they can't go downstairs - or worse yet going down there and then screaming about warlocks being present.
