Participating in such events is also a good way to speed along your leveling, so keep an eye out for them in the 'What's Happening?' section of the message board.
As far as idle time IC goes, I always encourage new players to make as many waves as possible within the scope of their characters. Loitering around in the Inn looking broody and intense is indeed no fun, and the vulpines fucking in the corner and the dude hitting on the elf aren't often going to turn their attentions toward brooding intensity, so shake things up wherever/however you can, within the rules/the tolerance-levels of the players around you.
Try to steal that pretty elf out from under that dude, or lay claim upon a prospective slave with ninety nine levels on you... get into trouble, stir the pot, take sides, whatever. Be two-faced. You do you obviously, don't go to any extremes that don't make sense for your character, but so long as you're not afraid to lose on occassion there's always more meaningful play to be found in conflict and intrigue than in lube-tubes.
As for the slaver thing, that's simply the job with ISA. There's nothing preventing you from gathering up a stable of prospective slaves in anticipation of your license, developing your craft and such.
The violence thing is iffy given the game's subject matter, but not hard to adjust too. There are some obvious no-nos, torture-violence devoid of sexual context a major one, I.E toe-nail pulling, bone/tooth breaking out of the context of combat, mutilation, all that nasty torture-porn crap. As for violence within a sexual context, such as whipping, flogging, spanking, etc., it's basically OP's choice. Most in that regard is A-ok, part and parcel with BDSM play, but if you start going full Mel Gibson, an OP may ask you to dial it down.

But you might want to think about having your chap work in the Inn as a cover story whilst he spies out his future slaves. One of my alts does exactly that to choose her victims for crimes....
Just a random.

Nor can you work the ISA and I explained clearly over and over these facts to you. I do have the logs. You can't work the ISA until you are level 5 so we know you know the rules and laws of slavery because the ISA is such a big part of this game. So don't try saying you were told what you were NOT told at all. Also there is not NPC slave in this game.
As stated there are plenty of other jobs he can work. Sorry if this comes off as bitchy but I don't appreciate my words being twist or down right changed, when I was explaining the rules of the ISA to you.

Re the rest of it, I can understand a new player feeling frustrated but there is a reason for this. The game is at least to an extent exp based. This means it is a regulated roleplay not totally free-form. We don't have players coming in with their one day character having 'wicked ninja skills' or whatever their pathetic grasp of English leads them to claim. We don't have one day characters able to throw thunderbolts or heal stigmata. It takes time to understand all the nuances of the game. It should also be considered that many people have been playing here for five years or more and they don't want their environment polluted by a 15 year old boy acting out a wank fantasy.
Please don't take all this as being a personal attack. It is intended as a general explanation of why we restrict some things to new players and instead, make them earn them through role-playing. I'm not suggesting my overview applies to you personally, as it is intended for a wider audience who will read this thread over the next months.
