The Great Tree

Erik

While it's not 100% certain, it seems that Douglas Sharper will come to the Cavern once again. And I was wondering what you're thinking about that, and how do you think you will receive him?

Will you receive him as a hero or as the lost son? Or will you just wait and see... looking if he'll recognize you? Will you be upset, because he didn't contacted TGT the past years?

It seems a bit odd that he didn't pay any attention to TGT anymore, while he urged Brian Fioca to found TGT, and that TGT even continued after the closure.

So, I was wondering about your reaction... What do you think about this?

Shorah,
a curious Erik

At any moment, Douglas Sharper could be reading this as a guest. Wink

I had an interesting conversation with Vormaen last night about this very topic, although Moiety Jean bowed out declaring that it was not her cup 'o tea. Cool

Oh. Hornets nest! http://drcsite.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1713

I have no history with Doug so I'm starting with a clean slate.

But, I must say, I like the energy he casts ahead of his arrival. LOL. I think D'ni could use a dose of Sharper.

Heres to hoping that the DRC comes out and says they have no hard feelings against Shaper. Well I guess they already have. I think one of them something to this effect, like "we all make mistakes"

I just don't comprehend why so many DRC'ites hold so many hard feeling for Sharper. The main thing that comes to mind is playing up drama for dramas sake.

It's hard to say how I will react to his return but I have always had a high esteem for the fellow and even identify with him so I will probably take it well but then again.. you never know how much someone can change in 3 years...

I've never met Sharper before, so I'll have to figure out what my thoughts are about him on my own. Smile

I feel like most of the current crowd never met Sharper. I know I didn't. I'd love to though!

I'm not sure what his purpose would be though. The DRC would likely be quite hesitant before hiring him again, considering the hard feelings from last time around. Cate might do it, but he'd have to do some pretty fast talking! Unless he's coming as a visitor, and that would just be weird... Rolling Eyes

Well since I've never met Sharper myself, I think I would be a bit nervous if I happened to run across him somewhere in the cavern Smile

I would welcome him back, and just chat in general if that's what he wanted to do. If he is willing to take a few questions, I would like to know how he feels about Phil's accident and if he has learned anything while on the surface? What does he know about Cate or the DRC that he would be willing to share? Why did he finally decide to return to the cavern? Was he asked, or did he feel compelled to do so for some reason?

Just a few questions mind you Smile

Ash, I think that's a good idea - asking if he minds a couple questions. I know he'll get bombarded and quite posibly attacked the moment he steps foot into Ae'gura, but being polite about it will certainly go a long ways towards keeping things stable!

I would like to hear what Sharper has to say for himself before making any decisions. He has a few things he needs to explain, and I have no reason to trust him right off the bat.

On the other hand, I feel very strongly Sharper should be given a chance to speak on his own behalf, and that the explorers should not judge him before he has been able to do so.

I'm all for welcoming Sharper back... cautiously. Which I think he'd completely understand.

While I was not in Prologue and never met Sharper personally, I feel like I know him through chat logs and the journals in his office.
A lot changes in 3 years, and I'd be willing to start with a clean slate regarding Shaper. I'd like to know his current opinions, and how much of a role he wishes to play in the Cavern. For all we know, he may choose not to have the active role he had in the past. I used to dislike his furtive ways in the past, especially with breaking into the pub and having a spyroom, but that was the past. Now I'll look to the future.

Although I haven't talked to him in 3 years, I still consider him a friend of mine, and I'm anxious to see him again.

I personally hope he hasn't changed. He's a very driven person who shares a lot of the same ideas as me. It was those ideas that founded this group and led to the establishment of this community. I feel like we've been purposeless for some time now, and hope his return will help kick us back into gear.
