Ghyll:HANDBAG

2005-07-16T19:13:33Z

Precarious Armada:

The founding of the Housewives and Nannies' Debatory Banter Association of Ghyll, or '''HANDBAG''' as it is commonly known, can be traced to the earliest [[Folktown]] Court records, with the founding of "The Institute for Philosophical Research in PCJ" in -570 [[EC]]. IPRPCJ differed significantly from other institutes created at this time in that it was reserved solely for females, as they had threatened to nest en masse in the Folktown Court if they were not allowed some form of collective.

From the beginning, the females of HANDBAG have been meticulous record keepers, using surplus [[Perky]] secretions, or [[whifflepeke]], instead of pulp paper. It has proved surprisingly durable, although [[whifflepeke]] used for this purpose is of course completely unsuitable for mating. During the reign of [[King Harandraff the Great]] this had a unforeseen benefit, as the male inquisitors decided that records made from [[whifflepeke]] were too embarrassing to even think about, and studiously ignored their existence. This was no surprise to anyone, as the [[whifflepeke]] reflex is deeply ingrained in even the most rational adult male. Even with today's modern writing materials, [[whifflepeke]] backups of the most important documents are still kept, and the female historians of HANDBAG preserve the old documents, reproducing them as necessary.

While the records, especially when compared with the [[Folktown]] Court records, are fascinating, they are also very narrow in scope and of little interest other than to scholars of female Ghyllian history; that is, of course, until the advent of feminism and an expanding role for females in Ghyllian Society. These topics brought about an intense debate within HANDBAG over the proper role of females: whether they had a role at all, if changes in the roles of females would cause a collapse of Civilisation As We Know It, etc. The internal fights within the organisation were particularly acrimonious between the Committee for the Liberation of Females from the Shackles of Male Bondage (CLFSMB), and the Foundation For Feminine Females (FFFF), both representing the most extreme views of either side of the debate.

Relations between these two diametrically opposed groups were never cordial and soon degenerated into covert warfare when the FFFF, through a combination of scare tactics and wedge politics, gained control of HANDBAG and promptly passed laws forbidding any female from disobeying, or even contradicting, a more senior member of HANDBAG, unless ordered to by an appropriate male. Whilst this was, in itself, unbearable, it was the creation of the Agony Aunts to enforce the increasingly unpopular edicts of HANDBAG that led to the desperate, horribly violent acts of the CLFSMB revolt. The Agony Aunts were all that their name implies, and the HANDBAG records kept by the Agony Aunts of their activities are truly terrible, too terrible, in fact, to be recorded in an encylopedia of this nature. FFFF and the Agony Aunts were finally destroyed in a final, desperate struggle with CLFSMB, whose members not only attacked the Agony Aunts while they were [[nesting]], but even destroyed their eggs, the last surviving member of CLFSMB committing suicide over the ruined nest of the last FFFF member, containing the body of said member in the midst of her broken eggs. Appalled by the carnage, the surviving members of HANDBAG promptly passed a resolution vetoeing any debate on anything even remotely serious, and ruled that what members did in their own time was their own business.

The stormy events of the past now safely ''in the past'', HANDBAG mostly concerns itself with the promotion of feminine charities, through the [[Paramount Queen]] contest. All funds raised by these contests go to worthy causes, such as providing improved [[nesting]] materials, better building techniques, and the research into the reduction of domestic blindness in males, a cause adopted after requests to the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]] for help in this area went unacknowledged.

[[Perky]] secretions? What in Creators's name are you talking about? Perky is a moon, woman! Are you suggesting that Perky meteorites are suitable writing materials? That Perky aliens secrete some paste that hardens into malleable goo?! I've never heard of this [[whifflepeke]] stuff, but it shoulds like horseradish to me. --[[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]] 10:16, 16 Jul 2005 (EDT)

I had no idea that you were so ignorant of basic feminine biology, Morbus. I suggest you read the section on Ghyllian reproduction. It should alleviate ''some'' of your ignorance. Although I do agree that the abbreviation of "Perkian cycle" that is so familiar to all women would be confusing to bachelor male scholars. --[[User:Precarious Armada|Celeste Theresa Worthinghood]] 15:03, 16 Jul 2005 (EDT)

It has proved surprisingly durable, although [[whifflepeke]] used for this purpose is of course completely unsuitable for mating. During the reign of [[Harandraff]] this had a unforseen benefit, as the male inquisitors decided that records made from [[whifflepeke]] were too embarrassing to even think about, and studiously ignored their existence. This was no surprise to anyone, as the [[whifflepeke]] reflex is deeply ingrained in even the most rational adult male.
Even with today's modern writing materials, [[whifflepeke]] backups of the most important documents are still kept, and the female historians of HANDBAG preserve the old documents, reproducing them as necessary.
While the records, especially when compared with the Folktown Court records, are fascinating, they are also very narrow in scope, and little of interest, other than to scholars of female Ghyllian history, occurs, until the advent of feminism, and an expanding role for females in Ghyllian Society. This brought about an intense debate within HANDBAG over the proper role of females, whether they had a role at all, if changes in the roles of females would cause a collapse of Civilisation as We Know It, etc. The internal fights within the organisation were particularly acrimonious between the Committee for the Liberation of Females from the Shackles of Male Bondage (CLFSMB), and the Foundation For Feminine Females (FFFF), both representing the most extreme views of either side of the debate.
Relations between these two diametrically opposed groups were never cordial, and soon degenerated into covert warfare, when the FFFF, through a combination of scare tactics and wedge politics, gained control of HANDBAG and promptly passed laws forbidding any female from disobeying, or even contradicting, a more senior member of HANDBAG, unless ordered to by an appropriate male. Whilst this was, in itself, unbearable, it was the creation of the Agony Aunts to enforce the increasingly unpopular edicts of HANDBAG that led to the desperate, horribly violent acts of the CLFSMB revolt. The Agony Aunts were all that their name implies, and the HANDBAG records kept by the Agony Aunts of their activities are truly terrible, too terrible, in fact, to be recorded in an encylopedia of this nature. FFFF and the Agony Aunts were finally destroyed in a final, desperate struggle with CLFSMB, whose members not only attacked the Agony Aunts while they were nesting, but even destroyed their eggs, the last surviving member of CLFSMB committing suicide over the ruined nest of the last FFFF member, containing the body of the FFFF member, in the midst of her broken eggs. Appalled by the carnage, the surviving members of HANDBAG promptly passed a resolution vetoeing any debate on anything even remotely serious, and ruled that what members did in their own time was their own business.

== HANDBAG Today==
The stormy events of the past now safely in the past, HANDBAG mostly concerns itself with the promotion of feminine charities, through the [[Paramount Queen]] contest. All funds raised by these contests go to worthy causes, such as providing improved nesting materials, better building techniques, and the research into the reduction of domestic blindness in males, a cause adopted after requests to the Beurau of Forgotten Knowledge for help in this area went unacknowledged.

The founding of the Housewives and Nannies' Debatory Banter Association of Gyll, or HANDBAG as it is commonly known, can be traced to the earliest Folktown Court records, with the founding of "The Institute for Philosophical Research in PCJ" in -570 [[EC]]. IPRPCJ differed significantly from other institutes created at this time in that it was reserved solely for females, as they had threatened to nest en masse in the Folktown Court if they were not allowed some form of Institute.
From the beginning the females of HANDBAG have been meticulous record keepers, using surplus [[Perky]] secretions, or [[whifflepeke]], instead of pulp paper.

I like how this is shaping out: the wildlife-documentary approach to commentary vs. the very human characteristics of the "ritual" is an excellent choice of plot. Hard to get the balance right too, so I don't envy your task--especially given the point that you've just stopped at! --[[User:Sbp|Sean B. Palmer]] 14:21, 27 Oct 2004 (EDT)

Ah, well, I was trying to hold out until I could make a new entry, but, alas, it will simply languish. The wildlife-documentary approach struck me as somewhat cliched, actually, but I felt compelled to make an entry. My goal is to make it through at least the first full round without missing an entry. This subject suddenly appealed to me due to some spousal strife. Life hands me fefferberries and I make scones. --[[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 21:21, 27 Oct 2004 (EDT)

I think it would be worth mentioning that about 25% of Ghyllians are in error about who their biological fathers actually are. All of that male polygamous behavior has to wind up somewhere, after all. See [[http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/promiscuity.html this article]]. --[[User:Jcowan|John Cowan]] 13:30, 28 Oct 2004 (EDT)

I think that should be an in game comment! And, I'll have to read the article when I get home from the office. --[[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 14:23, 28 Oct 2004 (EDT)

This entry was incredible. I can't wait to tell my GF about being shot in the gibblets. --[[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]] 22:02, 29 Oct 2004 (EDT)

Given another reference to nesting and egg-laying, Ghyllians seem birdlike in their attributes. Budgerigars nest in colonies. Males will court and mate as many females as possible (involves feeding the female, as the female builds the nest and sits on the eggs, thus cannot forage). The females will accept courtship from any available male (one at a time). The Ghyllian system could work with the appearance of monogamy on the surface, but collective breeding underneath.--[[User:Precarious Armada|Celeste Theresa Worthinghood]] 10:55, 5 Jul 2005 (EDT)

Precarious Armada found a reference to this game in the blog of one of her favorite comic strips. She thinks it sound like fun, but is a little unsure as to how to proceed.

:Which comic strip? I know it was in Nodwick, but that's more a book than a strip. Anyways, ask any questions you'd like. We're a friendly bunch here. At this point, we're on turn H, which means that you'd go to [[Ghyll Phantom Index]] and look for an H phantom that has not been "dibbed" (ie. claimed) or started. Click the little # next to it, and you'll see everything that is currently related to that term. If any of it sounds of interest, you can "dib" that phantom by simply editing its page, and claiming it somehow ("MINE! MINE, ALL MINE! AHAHAH!"). From there, you write the entry, which is the whole ball of wax that makes the game the game. Also, get used to using <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>. That's just shorthand for "include my name, a link, and the current timestamp" to whatever I just said. It looks like this: --[[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]] 10:39, 5 Jul 2005 (EDT)

It was Nodwick!--[[User:Precarious Armada|Celeste Theresa Worthinghood]] 10:55, 5 Jul 2005 (EDT)
