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

Elliquiy's time at Accelerated Web was not a bad one. The new server is faster, more reliable, and more customizable. However, there is something you do not see in that $50/month ($60/month when I purchased it) price tag and feature list for that host. Of every shared host I have seen, they were the most security-conscious by far. It is hard to fully express just how much I learned from them.

Not just because it would take awhile, but discussing the finer details of how Elliquiy is set up always bothers me - knowledge can be used against its giver. I also have a moral objection to throwing out technical details that I am not willing to make at least a courteous attempt at explaining. I hope that, if you are curious, you do not feel that I throw out random terms that hold no meaning without explanation. I am going to do my best to explain a lot of terms here, but if I fail and you are still curious, please feel free to ask.

This does not keep me from discussing concepts, things that a technically adept attacker would know, or someone who takes the time to read the public statements I have made so far, however. That still leaves quite a lot to talk about, so I am going to begin somewhat randomly. : )

This past year, a slew of things has happened to make me wonder what I am made of. Now, the made of part goes back to my culture, race and ethnicity. For a while now, I knew I was Mexican-American, born of two Mexican parents who I soon found out their lineage was not full blooded but born in America.

From apache's log:

I get various hints at this question and I figured I would try to explain the technical details with more rigor. This has been a goal of mine for some time now, and honestly the main benefit can be expressed as 'liberation'. That is, having Elliquiy on a dedicated platform means that I have options that simply weren't available to me before.

This whole week has somehow been a rollercoaster for me. Only last week had I put in an rush on my application for SFSU, San Francisco State University, for a transfer into the psychology program and then waited anxiously for the 2008 elections. Well, it seemed this week will forever be engraved into my brain.

On Tuesday, November 4th, 2008, two great things happened:

I admittedly have little experience with role-playing forums so the reader would be wise to consider my thoughts within that context. I can expand that to say I have little experience in social online forums. Still further, I need to admit that while my social exposures are well varied, I do not thrive in them. While I may succeed at some more than others, I like to return to my solitude.

I break from talking about RPGs for a minute to go to a political topic. You have my apologies.

You are probably sick of hearing about this election. Every talking head and Blogger has weighed in and most have done have focused on the issue of race.

Something many keen investors look for, when they evaluate a business startup, is whether or not the company is a one man (or woman) show, or if they have a partner on board. The reasoning ought to be fairly obvious - if someone cannot convince their own friends that they have a good idea, or worse, has no friends, it does not reflect well on that company. Even if neither of these issues are actually present, there is still a deep concern. For one, there is no obvious person with an emotional attachment to the company who can criticize potentially hazardous decisions.

Well, I am a published writer on Fanfiction with of course fictionpress and a few others sites, now I wanted to show the E people of my writing. Hopefully, it might inspire someone but at least in my blog I can keep track of people reading and commenting (through pm's). This one is a favorite of mine and the most recent I wrote.

Recently a well known blogger wrote this:

College is expensive, outrageously.

This is a fact that all students, current and prospective must face and deal with, some with their families, some without. Its just a fact of life now, in our world. And that is a given, part of the status quo now. But let's twist it a bit, make it more complicated, like my day yesterday.

It never ceases to amuse me when someone tells me that they have always thought I was a Dominant person. I giggle when I hear someone say that they are surprised to find that I have a Master and that I identify as a submissive. I have long sat down to figure out exactly why people seem to view me has more dominant then submissive until they get to know me, and I have come up with several reasons, all revolving around perceptions.

I like a good Freeform game but it does require more work for both Player and Game Master.

A pure Freeform is the hardest of all. In my opinion it should be played only by people who are friends or long term writing partners.
Simply put the Game masters role in pure free form is sharply reduced. The players have much more control over the narrative then in most games.

So I've said I like simple games. I think I have said why I like them.
A good definition should inc;ude examples.
Example one.
Risus at it's most basic is no more then three pages.
Players define their characters by susing cliches then assign d6 dice among the cliches
for example
SwordFox 10 dice
Swashbuckler 4 -swords and other knives, swinging from chandalers and other acrobatics.

What is it about Halloween that gives me the sensation of being in love? Is it the fact that the holiday lets me eat as much chocolate as I can shovel down my throat? How about the fact that you can dress up in anything you like and no one will wonder if you escaped from the mental institution? Get to see a month's worth of horror movies on every possible channel to which I adore horror moviees?

Whatever happened to good feelings? Back when I was a child, nothing usually got me down. Bad things would happen, of course, but I would always smile and move on.

'You have an Idealistic Perception- it's wrong'
Dear Blog,

In this next part of an ongoing series, since it has been requested by popular demand that I continue further with my blogs on such relationships, I will be attempting to describe the bare bones of the lifestyle. This is the very basics of the lifestyle, not detailed as details should be worked out between a dom and a sub themselves, and not modeled after another D/s relationship no matter how successful.

Three Times And You Lose

How many times does it take to realize that something is just not going to happen? How many times do you ask someone something and get the answer that the time is “not now” before you decide to move on? Without any real explanation other than that they are busy? How long does it take before you start to feel like it’s not the issue, but you that they are ignoring?

Anyone who has been to Big Boards knows that a forum-owner's e-penis is measured by their site's postcount. Today, Elliquiy passed Adult Adventurers as the largest role playing-oriented adult forum on the web, 882,431 posts on E to 881,820 on AA.

.....I have that feeling again, the feeling of sinking, of getting lost in the darkness that wants to over take my mind. And I'm alone, all alone. Those I would turn to no longer care, and I find myself wanting to cry as I sit here, in this room alone, with the sounds of other people together surrounding me and the night air cool from the rain. Why do I have to feel this way so often?

So, my first blog for E, wow what a thought. For a long time I thought blogging here would not be something I ever did, I mean after all, I never thought I would have "adult" things to blog about. But then I realized that these blogs didn't have to be full of sex or sex talk. We all know how bad it is to assume something, only, somehow we all still do it, some less then others.

Re: Agree or Disagree? Important! Calling Masters and Mistresses
A response, I had to place in my journal

---------------------------------
I highly disagree, though with how I am as a Mistress, other people might disagree with my response to this, but hey, everyone has the right to say their two cents.

Reposted to E from another site, still works here and a bit more on what is a Mistress and the Difference:

Interesting...

Haha, well, it is a question I have gotten from a lot of people and even a few members here on E. I am not saying it is a bad thing to ask because I do have a personality that is open to both sides. Well to let it be known, I am bisexual and what is wrong about being someone on the fence about whether to be straight or lesbian?

I like simple games.
Rules light is the term often used.
Tastes in game rules and rules types vary of course . It is a matter of taste and it depends on what you are looking for in a game.
Those who want a competitive fighting game will want exact rules with an element of skill involved.

Since I started writing submissive blogs or blogs on my personal lifestyle choices I have had many pm's with questions in general. I encourage questions, as knowledge is power and I feel the understanding of lifestyles will help others not be forced to hide it, or face ridicule. This blog will be dealing with the basis of a D/s relationship, and throwing down some misconceptions that seem to have arisen.

Someone just posted something about harnessing 'zero-point energy' on the forums and I felt I needed to say something. If you want the quick of it, you can just read the title. For the more detailed explanation of why most respectable people come to that conclusion, continue reading.

So, on a random bit of curiosity, I tried to figure out how much milk a woman's breasts could produce and/or store for a given size. I have a thing about rendering girls with rather astronomical assets, and though I don't have a lactation fetish, I'm not opposed to it either. So naturally, I turned to Google, which was amazingly unhelpful about this question.

What exactly is an emotional masochist? Well, actually it’s pretty simple. Where as a masochist delights in their own physical pain, an emotional masochist delights in his own emotional pain. When an emotional masochist gets hurt and betrayed, instead of closing off s/he ends up returning for more.
