Of course! I'll go scour the Fundraising thread, and maybe the art requests forum.

I'm pretty sure different people will want different prices for their art, so that'll be a later thing.

you can also post a "we need artists!" or "hiring artists for my shop!" thread in the services forum. i spend enough time there to see threads like that around.

I forgot about that! Thanks for the tip, Red. c:

sorry for double post, but reddie has another idea!
ok so theres this guy called parry grip and he has a song called nomnomnomnomnomnomnom. maybe if we can get somebody that has hypercam, we can make some sort of gluttony music video. but be warned-song is terribly cute sounding!
and maybe people could pay to be in the video, or once we get the co-hosts chosen they could be the ones in the video and we can use it for advertising. restraint can get madder and madder in each frame and at the end restraint and all the co-hosts that are with restraint just freak out!

@Red- That sounds cute! Or we could make nomnomnom animations in gif form... and stick em in the video

Gluttony-
* Praepropere - eating too soon.
* Laute - eating too expensively
* Nimis - eating too much.
* Ardenter - eating too eagerly
* Studiose - eating too daintily
* Forente - eating wildly
*derived from the Latin gluttire meaning to gulp down or swallow
*it can be seen as either a vice or a sign of status

That's some stuff on Wikipedia for Gluttony. It's harder to find stuff for Restraint though, because there's two ways to do it- Restraint as the counter of Gluttony or Restraint as general self-control.

well alot of places im checking out say restraint is the keystone of the virtues, maybe we can put that in somewhere. heres a little extract from an article i was reading and 2 wikipedia links to full articles all about restraint and gluttony, hope it helps!
restraint
gluttony
Yael Eylat-Tanaka
The theological Seven Deadly Sins are: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride.

Opposing the Seven Deadly Sins are the Virtues: Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, Humility -- and some have added Justice as an eighth virtue.

The keystone of the virtues is restraint.

Then there is a combination of Cardinal and Theological virtues derived initially from Plato's scheme, Protagoras and adapted by St. Ambrose, Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas. The term "cardinal" comes from the Latin "cardo" or hinge; the cardinal virtues are so called because they are hinges upon which the door of moral life swings. The theological virtues are so named because the object of these virtues is the divine being (theos).

So, the Cardinal and Theological virtues are: Prudence, Justice, Restraint, Courage, Faith, Hope, Love....

...Temperance - Gluttony: Constant mindfulness of others and one's surroundings; practicing self-control, abstention, and moderation. In the act of gluttony, we give up control and mindfulness in favor of self-indulgence and pleasure-seeking. Remember that at the time this was written, food was not plentiful.

Alright, that's a definite thing of importance right there. So Restraint will be the boss apple. Kind of.
Thanks millions for finding that, Red!

your welcome, thought it might be useful info. and i notice theres lots of other words people use instead of restraint. maybe co-hosts could sometimes use the different names kind of like nicknames?
PostPosted: Sat Sep 11, 2010 1:56 pm


okay i found something that says the animals for the sins. gluttony is obviously pig, while i see that there are few links for restraint but the most repeated answer was unicorn or horse. i think this can also be incorporated in somehow.

From what Red posted above, it seems as if Gluttony's opposite is Temperance, not restraint. Restraint sounds more like the key concept of all the virtues, entirely different from Temperance and Gluttony.

Oh and, from what I know, Pride's animal is a Horse, so I going to go with Restraint/Temperance's animal being a Unicorn. (:

I know theres a background in gaia thats not very expensive for what it is and had a very nice and good looking unicorn in the background. i think the colors also match the ones you thougt up for Restraint/temperance. maybe that could be used for the R/T (im abbreviating it now cause im to lazy to type all of it) avi or maybe for one of the co-hosts avis.

hurhur, i have a post style now biggrin

Thank you guys for considering my application, but I've been accepted to the Charity & Greed room as a co-host, and I've decided to go there after much deliberation. I'll still see you guys around the ball scene though biggrin
