Thank you to everyone that stuck with me during the holidays. I know it’s been a rough ride, but it’s about to be a new year and that means, more time to roleplay for all of us!
As you might have noticed, the rp is currently undergoing a few changes and the goal to re-open auditions and get started again is January 1st.
Current players: If you want to make any chances to your bios, reset (full or partial) your characters, drop a character, or switch to a new one, I need to know by the 1st. If you need to go on hiatus, please let me know as soon as possible. If I haven’t already heard from you by then in some way, you will be put on warning. If you’re on board and want to make no changes, all you have to do is like this post.
Interested players: Please peruse the bios and of course, feel free to submit an audition. I won’t be accepting until the 1st, but it never hurts to get the apps in early. As I’ve gotten numerous asks about Blaine and Sam, yes they will be reopened, however not until I get their new bios posted. That will definitely be by the 1st.
I’m looking forward to this and I hope you guys are as well!
Hello everyone! Time to finally get going on Kinkmas 2015! I know I’m excited for it!
We talked about it in the group chat, so here is the official, all drawn up announcement.
A few days ago the Curator asked all the Masters to come up with a list of kinks to try out. He asked for 10-20 and for good reason. Now, all the Masters will be given the chance to cross those kinks off their lists. What are they competing for?
A crown and a dildo scepter! I highly encourage the winner to test out the scepter upon being crowned for some extra entertainment.
The winner will also receive a two night, three day trip on the cruise ship. The top two runner ups will receive a choice between a two day luxurious stay in the treehouse, with island slaves pampering them in every way, and a free two day rental.
How do we participate and hopefully win?
Each Master is encouraged to try out as many kinks as possible from now until Christmas Eve. All rentals are half price until the event is over and I am introducing hour length rentals for the purpose of completing a kink. The punishment rooms may be rented out for up to four hours at a time and any slaves desired will be delivered at the appointed time. For these rentals, they can be retroactively posted meaning if you decide that you want to do it, go right ahead. No need to wait for the form to post. The forms still must be submitted for recording purposes. Afterwards, please send in a rating form putting an emphasis on obedience and sexual skills of any slaves you tested out.
slaves, I’m sure you want to know what’s in it for you. The top performing slaves will be rewarded with rewards of their own. The top five slaves who perform the best, through number of kinks or highest ratings, will be allowed to choose from four prizes: a pillow, a blanket, a full meal, 24 hours out of the cells without being in a rental. The 24 hours will include being leashed and accompanied by a guard the entire time.
The lists are all publicly posted in the formal lounge and can be seen at any time so you can compare your progress to anyone else. You have 12 days (counting today) to get your kink on, so get started and have some fun with it. Please don’t wait until the last minute, that’s never fun.
You are allowed to add kinks at any time, however you will only receive credit for the first 20 kinks that you finish before the deadline. The winner will be the Master with the highest overall percentage of kinks completed. In the event of a tie, the person with the most creative kinks will win so be kinky and be creative!
All posts should be tagged sopevent4 and please feel free to post pictures, do paras, even link to videos if you feel that is the best representation. The only limit is your imagination.
As you get online today, please say so in the ooc and/or like this post. We’ll be holding our group chat today so I can make sure we’re all okay with some of the ideas I’ve decided to run with from the survey. It shouldn’t take long and we can easily split it up into mini groups since everyone gets online at different times.
Normal activity will also resume today. Up until now, all activity has been excused but the timer restarts today. If you go four days without posting or asking for a hiatus, you will be put on activity check with the possibility of removal. Some of these ideas are really good ones so you definitely don’t want to miss out!
If you haven’t already, please read the more personal note in the ooc blog.
Right now I’m faced with a few very tough decisions, but I know there are still a lot of people that want to continue on with the roleplay. I’m asking everyone in the roleplay that wants to continue on to fill out this survey below:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/G5PVF27
I will leave it open for a week. Hopefully by that time, everyone has filled it out and we can move forward. It will be slower than it has been, at least on the admin side, until January but if you’re willing to stick it out, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Prompts! We will now be having weekly prompts each week, not only to enliven the dash and hopefully our players, but also to help us pick out our Player of the Week! Each week, we will have two voluntary prompts for you for you all to participate with! One will be more of a multiplayer prompt while the other is more of an introspective post, usually something that other players will only get to see OOCly, such as journal posts or third person character development blurbs so we can all get to know little tidbits about people’s characters.
A new couple of prompts will be set out weekly, ideally at the same time as picking a PoTW for the previous week’s interactivity, and each prompt will be given a tag number to put the post or posts in, such as soptask1 and soptask2. Both the multiplayer and the introspective prompts can be put into the same tag. Hopefully this gets the energy pumping! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask them.
I shall have the weekly prompts posted here shortly.
And now for more on what we can do to make things funner for everyone:
Anon Round Robins: During our last several games, many people liked the post, but some people didn’t get very many anons, which has been discouraging. If you like the post, you’re supposed to do your best to send two anons to as many people on the list as possible - so if seven people like the post while you’re playing, you should ideally both send out, and receive, a dozen anons.
When you’re familiar enough with the character, people appreciate receiving plot-relevant questions (but do stick to questions based on public information, not private messages). If you’re unsure what to ask, it never hurts to make the question sexual. After all, we’re in a M/S roleplay, so it shouldn’t be too hard to get us interested in talking about sex! Alternatively, you can always press the characters for details about their past lives, preferences, or if all else fails, you can google interesting RP anons, interesting truth or dare questions, or anything else related. If the problem is that you’re running out of asks, I find it personally useful to either a) log out of tumblr and ask messages outside of an account (keep the main page’s ARR post open in a tab so you can see the people who liked it, and don’t forget to refresh now and then). Or, if you have tumblr on your mobile phone, that seems to let you send endless amount of asks even while logged on; you just have to pay extra attention to whether or not you’re making it anonymous or not.
Two additional points: Please do try to have your character attempt to be a good sport and play along as much as possible. With some characters and some questions, of course they won’t want to answer, but please remember that it’s also disheartening to players if they think they’ve sent out interesting questions, and they mostly receive vague non-answers. Secondly, remember that you can also use the anons as a jumping off point for conversations. If someone has a particularly interesting answer, in your character’s opinion, go ahead and have them respond to that character’s answer, to either ask further questions, or relate to the answer, or even criticize it (if you’re a Master/Mistress… I wouldn’t do this if I was a slave, unless you’re keen for a punishment :P )
We’re going to be going on a slave ban for the time being, as we have a disparity between slaves in the cells and Masters and Mistresses to rent them. Hopefully we can get a few more Masters or Mistresses in to help that so we can lift that ban again!
And a related note: For an indefinite time, to hopefully help boost activity somewhat, we’re going to open up a graduated character limit. If you’ve been here for 2 months and beyond, you may get a third character. I will warn you however that we will be strict on enforcing activity rules when having this many characters.
If you do have a third character, you’ll be expected not to neglect ship partners; to be able to get on all characters at least a couple times a week, ideally more; and follow through with things once you start them. So just keep that in mind, and think realistically about the time you have to spare.
Look out on Sunday or Monday for a new announcement that I hope will get all our creative juices flowing and more interaction!
Hey guys, so we’ve noticed a lot of people talking about school and finals coming up. If you need to take some time off to focus on getting everything squared away for school, don’t hesitate to let us know. This includes studying for finals, final projects, or even playing catch-up. We’re including work in this since this is retail’s busiest time of year.
If you have anything else coming up for the holidays that will take you away from the group for more than two days, visits with extended family, etc., let us know so we can make adjustments. We’re hoping to do a Christmas themed event, so the more we know, the better we can plan!
It’s Monday, so you know what that means! Time to announce our Player of the Week!
It was close this week, which made us really excited, because that makes it a really tough decision for us. That being said, for the highest level of activity this week, we’re happy to announce that Damita is our Player of the Week! Everyone give her a round of applause! Congratulations!
