How will the proposed private rooms work?

248 replies

In the light of the DM stuff, I imagine MNHQ will be looking to get the private rooms sorted out quickly. So I wondered how they would run? Will it be a case of a single user opening a room and then inviting people to join them? Or will it be possible to request an invite?

How will you avoid narnia type incidents?

BadgersArse, you will be very welcome in my room of nonsense.

(Can I have some sort of reward for all my defence please? I have no idea why I am suddenly waving protective pitchforks )

(Oh, and I think people might have seen past your cunning name change...)

  1. Who cares what the Daily Mail prints?
  1. Anybody who didn't realize that everything they put in the internet is accessible to anyone with a computer should listen to their 5 year old when they come home from Reception having had an Internet Safety lesson.
  1. Private rooms are the very worst idea anyone's had since the invention of the short lived chocolate teapot.

Battlehips, can't we just concentrate on one "Gate" at once please otherwise peoples heads will start spinning around and exploding

TheChilliMooseTalksNonsense · 16/08/2009 14:31

Who is BattleHips then?

BadgersArse · 16/08/2009 14:31

flamey yes

Flamesparrow · 16/08/2009 14:32

I heard a suggestion for chocolate candles the other day (as in cake ones) - sounded great to me - choc blobs on cake as they burn!

PuppyLoves · 16/08/2009 14:32

Agree with Seeker. She is spot on.

I would also defend battlehips, if she were still here. Very low blow from the fish I feel

TheChilliMooseTalksNonsense · 16/08/2009 14:33

OIC (I think...)

Flamesparrow · 16/08/2009 14:33

Oh the candles wasn't just random gibberish - it was in relation to teapots.

seeker · 16/08/2009 14:40

Are the chocolate candles real or just an idea? I want some!

Flamesparrow · 16/08/2009 14:41

I don't know - I just caught the end of it on the radio! Makes so much more sense than wax everywhere.

Flamesparrow · 16/08/2009 14:43

can't find any googling. You'd have to freeze em really to make them melt that bit slower, but surely it would be doable?

kathyis6incheshigh · 16/08/2009 14:46

but does chocolate actually burn in the right way? And does it just evaporate nicely like wax when it burns or does it smell horrible?

JackieNo · 16/08/2009 14:50

All I've been able to find is Heston Blumenthal making white chocolate candles for his 'medieval feast' programme. Not quite the same thing (but sounds yummy). don't think you could light it, though, could you?

Flamesparrow · 16/08/2009 15:01

I've asked Meridian. she'll know , and have requested that if she doesn't know, please can she try making them to see why they don't exist

thedailyfemale · 16/08/2009 18:06

piscine room sounds like it should be a loo

seeker · 16/08/2009 18:17

As in piscina?

I quite fancy a private cubiculum myself!

chichichien · 16/08/2009 18:18

Private rooms won't work.

And that's all I've got to say about that.

chichichien · 16/08/2009 18:19

yes, it will split down the lines of communal and cubicles.

Flamesparrow · 16/08/2009 18:21

Ooh I am communal for swimming, but cubicle for shopping... what does that say about me?

thedailyfemale · 16/08/2009 18:23

I want a carrell surrounded by leather books

thedailyfemale · 16/08/2009 18:23

flame it says you're odd or have really crappy underwear

kathyis6incheshigh · 16/08/2009 18:26

ROFL. Me too Flame.
In my case it says I am more comfortable with my body than with my fashion sense.
