Elliquiy Role Playing - RP, Stories, Games, Forums and Chat

Elliquiy traces its origins to the adult section of rpol.net, by far the Internet's largest and most active play by post forum at the time of this writing. Lilac was hosting two games there, both of which had surpassed ten thousand posts. These were Elven Maiden versus Human Barbarian, and Maiden and Monster. The former had gained a mild degree of infamy on the site, but for a time, all was well.

Some time around December of 2004, someone posted a player request that many people found offensive. We won't repeat the details here, but suffice to say that if the Internet had a community standard for decency, the player request probably violated it. This prompted a change in RPoL's adult policy in January of 2005, which prohibited a number of things, including games who existed almost entirely for sex and games that featured graphic sexual assault (called non-con or non-consensual sex here).

Because the wording was somewhat ambiguous, Elven Maiden vs. Human Barbarian and Maiden and Monster both stuck around for a time, while many of the more graphic and less intelligible games got deleted first. Eventually, in April of 2005, Lilac got an e-mail stating that both of her games violated the site policy, and she asked for time to move.

RPoL's administration gave her that time and more, and after some pushing I (Vekseid) was convinced to set up and host Elliquiy. The domain and hosting were purchased on April 25th, and the site was publicly launched the next day. We are still with our original host at Acceleratedweb - for small time adult sites like ours, they are awesome.

Elven Maiden versus Human Barbarian and Maiden and Monster were moved, and several other games left RPoL to join us. Elliquiy had become, for better or worse, the next player of note in the play by post arena.

Lilac and I both took a fairly hands-off approach to Elliquiy for the first two years of its run. This was proving to be not the best of methods, and so new rules were developed and enforced to help ensure that Elliquiy would be a friendlier place to be. For her part, Lilac had to leave the site for a time in September of 2007, and in March of 2008, officially stepped down from administrating the site.

You should be seeing this page along with the launch of the next version of Elliquiy, which I'm hoping to do before April of 2008 runs out. There are quite a few features that are being planned, so stay tuned.
