LAYING DOWN THE LAW; READ THIS KAY

[cadence oliver hull]

AS SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW I AM AN UN-ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE
ADMIN / MOD TEAM. MAINLY BECAUSE LIDJA LOVES ME AND I'VE
MADE GRAPHICS FOR THE SITE. SO FLEGH.

I AM HOWEVER GOING TO SPEAK OUT JUST THIS ONCE IN A MODLY,
ADMINLY, GODDING WAY, BECAUSE I AM INDEED GOD IN EVERY WAY
POSSIBLE.

GAYNESS / BI-NESS, DON'T HATE, APPRECIATE

STOP WITH THIS BITCHING. I'M NOT NAMING PEOPLE BECAUSE THAT'S
CRUEL AND SHIT. BUT BASICALLY IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THE AMOUNT
OF GAY / BISEXUAL CHARACTERS THEN DON'T SIT AND WHINE, DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT. MAKE A STRAIGHT GUY, USE THE REQUESTS THREAD TO ADVERTISE
FOR GUESTS ASKING FOR A STRAIGHT GUY, USE CAUTION, THAT'S WHAT
THOSE THREADS ARE THERE FOR. THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE OUT THERE
THAT WILL HAPPILY MAKE YOU SOMEONE, IT'S NOT HARD TO FIND PEOPLE TO
GIVE YOU WANT YOU WANT. IF ALL ELSE FAILS? MAKE YOUR OWN FOR
EACH OTHER. DON'T USE THE GODDAMNED EXCUSE 'I CAN'T PLAY GUYZ'
THEY'RE NOT HARD TO PLAY, GO TO CAUTION AND READ THEIR
GUIDES ON CREATING AND ROLE-PLAYING GUYS. AND VOILA, YOU
HAVE YOUR OWN STRAIGHT BOY TO PLAY AROUND WITH.

I'M SAYING THIS FOR THE GOOD OF LIDJA AND FRANKIE AND BROOKE, WHO'VE
WORKED HARD ADVERTISING FOR FRESH FACES EVERY DAY / WEEK / MONTH.
DON'T SIT AND BITCH ABOUT IT IN THE C-BOX, IT'S NOT ATTRACTIVE
FOR GUESTS TO SEE AND WILL NOT MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE THEY WANT TO
JOIN IF THERE'S A FEW MEMBERS SITTING THEIR BITCHING ABOUT
OTHERS CHARACTERS. IT'S PRETTY PETTY TO BE FAIR, WHEN YOU CAN
OPEN YOUR EYES AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

APOLOGIES IF YOU THINK I'M SUDDENLY BEING A BITCH, BUT THINGS LIKE THIS
GRATE ON ME, NOBODY WAS BITCHING ABOUT IT WHEN LIDJA WAS HERE SO
WHY START WHEN YOU THINK THERE'S NO ADMINS AROUND?

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO MAKE A GUY, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HELP YOURSELF
YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO LEAVE THE BOARD, NOW I KNOW FOR A FACT
THE ADMINS DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN, SO FOR GOD SAKES DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT FOR YOUR OWN SAKES.

ONE LAST NOTE TO THINK ABOUT; NOT EVERYONE IN THE ROLEPLAY WORLD
NEEDS A FINAL. THAT CRAP DOESN'T HAPPEN IN EVERYDAY LIFE, YOU
DON'T INSTANTLY FIND YOUR SOULMATE, SOME PEOPLE NEVER DO.
SURE THIS IS ROLE-PLAY WORLD, BUT AT THE SAME TIME THIS IS A REAL
LIFE ROLE-PLAY.

PS. DON'T REPLY WITH SOME BITCHY, SARCASTIC COMMENT.
I WON'T TOLERATE PEOPLE BITCHING ABOUT A PERFECTLY VALID POINT.
PLUS I'M PMT-ING SO YEAH, STAY AWAY.

SITE WIDE PLOTS ETC

IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA FOR SOMETHING YOU THINK WOULD WORK FOR A SITE
WIDE BOARD THEN PASS IT BY AN ADMIN. SOMETIMES IDEAS JUST DON'T WORK
OUT AND PEOPLE GET BORED OF IT.

REALISTIC CRAP

IF YOU HAVE SOME AMAZING IDEA FOR YOUR CHARACTERS, RUN IT BY AN
ADMIN. FOR INSTANCE I'VE NOTICED A SHIT LOAD OF DRUG ABUSERS
SUDDENLY CROP UP ON THE SITE. NOW IF YOU FOLLOW REAL LIFE BAND
ACTIVITY IT'S PRETTY MUCH A FACT THAT IN EVERY BAND ONE MEMBER
DOES SOMETHING OF THE ILLEGAL ACTIVITY-NESS. DRUGS ARE AN EVERYDAY
OCCURANCE BUT I JUST FEEL IT'S GETTING A TAD OUT OF HAND. AS WELL WITH
ALL THE CHARACTERS THAT ABUSE ALCOHOL. IF YOUR CHARACTER IS UNDER THE
AGE OF TWENTY-ONE IN THE STATE IT'S ILLEGAL TO BUY ALCOHOL.
IT'S ILLEGAL TO BUY ALCOHOL UNDER 18 IN THE UK, BUT MOST
PLACES ASK YOU TO PRODUCE ID IF YOU LOOK UNDER 25. IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES
THE LEGAL AGE IS MOSTLY 15 - 16 TO BUY CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL.
I KNOW THIS BECAUSE WHEN I WENT BARCELONA WE WERE ALL 16 AND
COULD FREELY BUY ALCOHOL AND CIGARETTES PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE.
SAME IN VENICE. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME GRATITUDE TOWARDS THE REAL
LAWS OF THE WORLD, NOT EVERYBODY UNDER 21 IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO
WALK INTO A STORE AND BUY WHAT THEY NEED, PEOPLE NEED TO
TIGHTEN UP ON THESE RESTRICTIONS. I KNOW IT'S NO FUN BUT WHERE'S
THE FUN IN EVERYONE JUST BEING DRUNK AND SMASHED OFF THEIR TITS
ALL THE DAMN TIME?
IF SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR CHARACTER RESEARCH IT.
PREGNANCY, DRUG ABUSE AND ALCOHOL ABUSE ALL HAVE THEIR SIDE
EFFECTS. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE BEFORE YOU START
THROWING YOUR POOR CHARACTERS INTO THAT WORLD.
IF YOUR THREAD IS GOING TO CONTAIN MATURE THEMES THEN TELL US.
THE LAST THING WE WANT IS POOR GUESTS STUMBLING ACROSS AN ACTIVE,
GROSS SEX THREAD. ALSO. PLEASE RESEARCH WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS
DURING SEX. THIS IS MORE A PET PEEVE FOR ME. MOST OF THE TIME THE
TWO PEOPLE INVOLVED IN SEXUAL CONTEXT DON'T COME AT THE SAME TIME.
GO WATCH A PORNO. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT IT TAKES A LOT MORE TO GET A
GIRL OFF. FOR THOSE GAY THREADS. YOU'LL ALSO ONLY FIND A HANDFUL OF
MOVIES WHERE THE GUYS ACTUALLY COME TOGETHER. I KNOW THAT PART
IS GROSS BUT IT HAD TO BE SAID FOR MY OWN SANITY.

ONE LAST THING BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF RANTING. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN
WE CUT THE AMOUNT OF SEX IN THE IC BOX. FOR ONE IT MAKES INTERRACTING
WITH CHARACTERS HARD WHEN YOU HAVE TO READ BETWEEN LEWD COMMENTS
JUST TO MOVE YOUR OWN PLOT ALONG.
I SUGGEST MAKING A SEPERATE IC BOX FOR THAT KIND OF STUFF, JUST SO
THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO SCREW EVERYONE ALL THE TIME
CAN MOVE THEIR PLOTS ALONG IN A SAFE MANNER. FOR INSTANCE, EVEN THOUGH
I'M NEARLY 20 I DOUBT MY PARENTS WOULD APPRECIATE SEEING WHAT GOES
ON BETWEEN KIDS AND I DOUBT MOST OF YOUR PARENTS WOULD BE HAPPY
ABOUT IT EITHER, SO FOR SAFTEY REASONS, TRY AND KEEP IT TO A
MINIMUM UNTIL ANOTHER BOX IS MADE.

HERE, HAVE SOME IMPORTANT LINKS.

MAKING GOOD THREAD REPLIES. OH LOOK, HERE'S A GUIDE
ROLE-PLAYING GUYS, THE BASICS PEOPLE
GUYS INTERRACTING WITH GIRLS, JUST FYI
BEING DRUNK AND HANGOVERS. THIS APPLIES TO A LOT OF CHARACTERS HERE.


DISCUSS.

I've actually been on at random times to find some of these things going on. I end up leaving, and I'm the admin. I think that what you are pointing out is very true. I was skeptical playing guys my first time around, which was who knows how long ago. I've had 11 years of experience and I still stumble playing guys, but I am making a go wit hit. And as much as there are gay/bi people out there, you can find a lot of straight characters, they just aren't active enough. I know because I have a perfectly straight jackass of a guy, and I haven't used him in a little while. Its not because I have no muse, its because I seem to have plenty of threads I have to finish with a few of my other characters.

[cadence oliver hull]

This is not directed at anyone, this is not a personal attack.
This is stuff I've been spotting for a while now that really grates on me
and I think it needed to be said before it got too out of hand.
If you'd let me, I'd love to have a crack at a complete fresh revamp.
I have a new style of graphics that I wanna put up. Make a new IC
for people who can't be bothered to thread their sex scenes. Perhaps make some
guides up.
No offence but we really need to start enforcing the rules and if you guys will let me
i'd love to start helping out more as an admin.

[isabella marie valentine]

okay i agree with steff here folks. number one, i also think the sex
needs to not be played out in the box. the other day i was talking to someone
and i said that nobody could ever go into the box and actually have a nice
convo with other charries without having someone having sex. or drinking for
that matter. what i'm trying to pretty much say is, life isn't all about drinking
and having sex.

now i'll admit, i have almost done a few of these things. but still, i haven't
always tried to do things like that in the box. i know how people are in these
boxes. i've been to way too many sites where the box is pretty much a sex
spot. and to be honest, it gets quite boring/annoying in the box if that person's
charrie has to pretty much watch that stuff.

now, on to my gay/bi/straight guy rant. like steff said, don't complain about
how you aren't good at playing males. i wasn't good at playing males either,
but i finally got the hang of it. all you would do was get into the mindset of
a male. just like if you were on a date with a guy. get into his shoes. figure out
what he would like and what he wouldn't. it's simple. now i understand that if
you are a guy and you don't want to play a girl charrie, it's fine. but seriously
i think the girls can play both. so don't complain about it. if i can do it, so can
you okay? and to be honest here folks, not every single guy in the world is gay
or bi. so let's have some straight males on here too okay? there has to be some
sort of balance.

alright on to my own last and i hope final rant. i feel that there are those little
charries that some of us get annoyed by running around. i will not point out any
names because i am not like that. but please guys, your charries can't be
miss/mister goody-goody. that doesn't happen even in real life. don't make your
charries be that way either.

site plots as always are welcome. pass it by a mod/admin through pm or ims. oh
and one last thing. if you want a pb change, please post in the face claims for
that kind of stuff. or ask someone and an admin or mod will gladly change it for
you. thank you.

A total revamp would be great, and I think I can make a guide forum and a sex chat forum for the site too. Guides would be great because not everyone of us are part of caution. I know I aint, and If i was I so forgot my password xD.

I don't know what lidja did to get her own IC box, but I'm sure if I can fiddle around I can make it happen. So in total we will have 3 different boxes xD.

Ermmm... I don't know what else to say until something comes to my attention.

[jocelyne rae daniels]

what i'll do is make a mock up of a layout etc and let you vet it. i can sort
out copies of guides etc over this weekend and sort out a sex box lol.

.gets rubber gloves on.

[benjamin elizabeth hyland]

well i has a temp sex box out for people to get all jiggy up in xD.

[jocelyne rae daniels]

lmao.

[narcissa avis rian]

Well, I agree with what Steff said. I haven't actually seen all
that has been mentioned, but yeah, I still agree with what has
been said, especially about researching topics. There are consequences
for heavily abusing drugs and alcohol. It's just how it is. It's not hard
to research side-effects, either. I know because I have Sissy who has
some issues with drugs and alcohol. Plus, it can make things interesting
at least in my opinion. Perfect lives aren't fun. xD Anyways, I don't have
anything else to add. It seems like everything else has been covered nicely.

[lidjalu]

Do you guys know how much I love you all? Honestly I was slightly worried the state I'd see the site in once I got internet. I sort of expected it to die because I spent more time preparing for my trip then planning who would be working the site while I went off to Poland. And then when I finlly get on, I find that new problems and old problems and issues that have never been mentioned are being brought up and dealt with. It's a huge surprise, and in a good way. I'm grateful to all of you (especially Steff) for all this hard work. And wish I could actually have done more lately instead of being deprived of internet and just sleeping like all the time. (Thank you jet lag and lack of anything better to do).

Again I'm super grateful, and I love you all. <333
When I get back to Warsaw (tomorrow or thursday depending on if we go to Krakow or not) I'll see if I can set up internet and play a slightly better role in the whole revamp situation. Right now that's difficult because I'm on at my cousin's (I think) laptop for a few hours or so. Not sure, and my sister just woke up so I have to share again. Fun right?

Once more
I LOVE YOU ALL
<33

[clementine tara dalton]

I love you Steff, I really do.
I agree so much with all that you've said.
My brain is failing so that's basically my
two cents XD
