The Town of Elliquiy is a medium sized down on the coast of Oregon.  It isn't terribly far away from Portland (which is to the south)...giving the residents access to the facilities there.  Being where it is, there is plenty of rain in the summer with warm temperatures.....snow in the winter.  Life for the residents is mostly what you would expect.

Obviously there is more to the town that meets the eyes of an outside....and I'm curious if anyone would like to become a resident of our fair town. The plan is for this to be something of a free-form game....as real life would be.  Each player is responsible for their own story and how it mixes and mingles with the stories of the other residents.  Of course, there will be some ground rules in place as to the town itself and the sorts of people that live in it (normal laws still apply....we'll not have an axe murderer running around offing people).

People will have the ability to create their characters, pick a career, and pick a place to live.  They can be married or single....Heterosexual, Homosexual, Bisexual, Transexual....or any number of other things.  However, they must all be human.  No shapeshifters or aliens.  It's present day, America. 

There will be maps and listings of business....and some NPCs.  This will all be developed if and when we have a basis going for the town.

So is anyone interested in playing with me?

Glad to hear someone's interested!  Now we just need some more people and we can have a game!

Too bad that is included.. A lot of the E-personas are not human.
Interesting idea, though.

Josietta

I'd love to play something like this.

Question: Is this going to be a full on RP or a drop in play by post?

This idea has been talked about but never posted, I'd be happy to give it a shot.
If you know me personally, you know how to contact me.

Haibane

I'm interested. I also get the impression from NaughtyKitty that the town of Elliquiy is not a place where players E-Personas will be written. It strikes me as a slice of life RP, when the player will create an RP character just like they would in any other group game on E and the town name is in fact not relevant. Is that right NK?

The game sounds nice and relaxing and easy-paced, something I need at the moment. I remember Caity ran a great game a long time ago called 'Naughty Neighbourhood' which was a similar premise I think. Average people in an average setting doing average things... only with a sexy twist.

So, yup, please count me in.

You have it, exactly.  This is not about our E-Personas.....but rather, we all create characters to play whom are residents of this town. Average people with average lives......with above average sex lives. :)

I'm really glad so many people are interested!

I guess this would be whatever the players want it to be.  As I said, it's up to the individual players to figure out their own storylines....much like real life.  :)

I figure that we can put up a thread in the group section and all post a character bio there.  Then from there we all can write threads together using a tag on the title....something like [ToE] or something similar.  I'm not really looking to a GM here...so please, let's all discuss how we want this to work.

Sounds like fun :) If slow posting is not an issue, count me in!

NaughtyKitty

So.....what category shall we play in, people?  Do we need to go all the way to Extreme?  Will our citizenry be quite that naughty?

Cal1496

If it goes to a vote, I say NC lol

And I know the thing isn't even started, but anybody willing to build up a between characters let me.  Can be something as simple as our characters knew each other in high school, or even could be they are married.  Just looking to start off somewhere rather than just have a guy of mine wonder around looking for a story.

NaughtyKitty

Oh....something else that I just thought of. 

When we've got this up and running and you need a bit of weather.....just go to www.weather.com and check the weather report for Portland for that day. 

So Cal.....why NC?

Cal1496

Because while I don't know if there will be any full non-con, I'm guessing there will certainly be situations of adultery and looked down upon age relationships (40 year old man, 18 year old girl).  That and the NC section of the site is a place where you can push almost any limits without worry of suddenly getting into something totally...Well extreme.

I personally am fine with Light and interested no matter what thread it goes, it's just NC is a safe place to hedge nearly all bets.

lorcan

Hmm NC might sound like the safe bet honestly.

Is there any sort of police force in Elliquiy? Because those people....they have a rather intresting job...must walk in on some really strange things.


Discord: SouthOfHeaven#3454

NaughtyKitty

Yes....there would be a Town Sheriff....along with some Deputies. 

Someone can even be the Mayor if they want.  Town Doctor....Town Barber (Floyd?)/Salon......Pub Owner.....all sorts of things.....

id love to play the bartender at one of the bars or clubs our characters might converge at. That could be fun.

I know I might be grasping at straws since Lisabeth said bartender, but Pub Owner is something I'd be interested in.  Could be different pub, or her character works at pub rather than owning...At the same time though Lisabeth if you want that go ahead and take it.  Your hat was in first.

No big deal to me. I can have my character working for yours. And hey we'd already be set up for conversation.

I'd be interested, though don't know what sort of person I'd want to play, hmmm.  Maybe a bored housewife or a convenience store employee. 

GaGa88

I'd be interested in this, it looks fun. Just not sure what type of person I'd want to play, probably something like the proposed Sheriff's daughter though.

Haibane

Whoa. This got some interest!

Not wanting to try to replicate a past experience but in a previous game like this the GM did try to arrange events a little and steer things along when it was needed, suggesting character moves and such. Nothing too pushy, just enough guidance to keep the pot bubbling.

Can I make some suggestions please?

I think all the characters should start close to each other, certainly within the same neighbourhood, maybe on the same block. That way we can all bump into our neighbours and friends without some characters being miles away across town.

This means all characters need to be of a similar social class, simply because of the way town demographics go in our society. It could be a manual labour blue collar part of town or a clerical white collar part or a more upper class elite part. If we go for a blue collar area we could still have white collar characters who are maybe salesmen or execs passing through and staying at a motel or small boarding house etc.

So I think the first criteria for making the game seem more real is to fix a style and flavour of the neighbourhood and the characters should merge in with that in a beleivable way. The way the previous few posts are heading it looks like a blue collar area but not a run-down one. We're still on the right side of the tracks, just.

Another element I think that helps make the game glue together is to create relationships and character links that will help us focus. For example there could be a single mother living with her daughter. Across the street lives one of the town cops. The mom has the hots for the cop but the cop has the hots for her daughter and at night actually spies into her room from across the street.

Down the block is an auto repair shop. Two brothers run it one of whom is an ex-con and the cop always keeps an eye on them, trying to catch the ex-con out or trip him up. They have a young lad apprentice/pump jockey working there who is the boyfriend of the single mom's daughter... etc, etc...

So the characters get woven together into a spaghetti-ball of linked affairs and desires and sub-plots.

It takes a bit of pre-start up work but is worth the effort and is a lot more fun than A, B, C, and D living in a town and randomly bumping into each other.

The scenery of the town may need a bit of planning. Is there a beach? Some small docks? Maybe our neighbourhood consists of some houses, a corner store, an auto repair shop and a diner or pub. Perhaps there's a small motel on the beach road. A bit of geography combined with a really simple map and a few defined places of work (does our daughter do waitress work in the diner? Or serve drinks in the pub?) and so on... It is wise to limit who works where. If everyone chooses to be a pub owner or motel owner etc then everyone would each be spending their day at work and hardly meet! So limiting the workplaces to one or two to begin with might help that syndrome.

Just ideas, just tossing them out there. Feel free to disagree!

Kate

I love this idea.

Suggestions so far I like also - this could be really amazing its like second life within E.

I liked Haibane's suggestions and I do want to include some of hers with what I had in mind which what will work (in my view).

Hailbanes suggestions

- A suggestion from the gms for a character to go somehere - Love it - this ideally I think
could be like omens - giving you a sign or dreams (ideally integrated into role play).

eg a gms post could be minimal and like this:

"Skittering around on your toes while reaching for the can of corn on the supermarket shelf for some strange reason evoked a longing in you one to dance again, how long had it been ? you recall a flyer about a club opening .. why not check it out yo think to yourself (Then link to the club)"

Starting close to each other ? I like it it does help, but nothing too solid, perhaps a few hobbys
listed or social groups (sports / bars / gyms / witches coven etc) and you have to be a member of at least 2 (so implying you heard or know of another can be easy)

Living in the same hood / social class ? - I have an alternative idea... see more below

Those living close or Friends you have you being linked in your profile ? Yes .. optional but encouraged. ie many (But not all) character profiles have a hyperlink section to acquaintances / friends / enemies / anyone that evokes an emotional interest (good or bad). Those living close by
being a hyper-linked section in peoples profiles is more encouraged (and less likely to change that often)

Now here is some suggestions I have.

Each person that is on elli have different fav thread areas (Non-con/extreme/bondage/whatever)
their suburb their house is in and their character is a thread in that "location"

So there are as many suburbs in the town as therea re major areas of elli concerning role play types
(light bondage / nc / extreme.etc) The suburbs are not called that of course .. they are just threads groups in that area ..

Concerning social status or social classes... everyone's wants freedom and to be rich.

How about those that want to have wealthy characters are ones that have more conditions - rich characters effectively should always obey and gm decision or suggestions / omens. - these can also be direct in a pm - without role playing it - so a gm can say "finance this / build this in this suburb"
(effectively telling them to create a post with links etc which are relevant) and thats the end of it - rich characters who want to stay wealthy obey... ie they effectively are the "workers" for the gm making buildings (threads areas).- they don't do it - they find themselves out of luck concerning wealth / return to see their house trashed etc.

Poorer characters are under less obligation to do anything at all ... they are more free spirits



lorcan

Hmm id like that suggestion it makes things interesting and gives the players more of a hand in the world and will ultimately keep the interest brewing.

Lunarice

I'd like to join, throwing in a nurse at the medical clinic.  Working with someone on joined histories would also be welcome.

RubySlippers

I want to run the towns game store, come on this could be nest be a gamer running a character for people to in-game be gamers.  ;D

Just give me a storefront, small place to live upstairs and likely the shop will have games and other things including an internet presence and gaming space for games and tournaments. And munchies, gamers need munchies when playing Dungeons & Dragons and CCG's.

Parlabane

This sounds interesting, and I'd like to be involved somewhere, so I'll see if any interesting character ideas come to mind. I like Haibane and Kate's ideas for organisation, though.

lorcan

Hmm id like to play an old money philantropist, who runs the local fetish social club who in his spare time organizes munches and play parties at his manor.

This might get confusing and easier for threads to get lost. Isn't it easier to have it all under one "roof" and then each person can label their home thread with their preferred tag (inside the thread, not the thread name)?

Agreed.  Too many threads  can kill an RP quickly.  Posting labels would be ideal.

like what Ame posted  or something like..

Haibane

Nods. The fewer threads the better. The more people in each thread the better too. I don't mean necessarily in the same scene but in the same locale. Its easier to keep track of events that way.

For example if there is a thread called THE PUB and 4 pairs of characters are each conducting a scene in there, they all use the same thread, even though they may be in different rooms.

Also, bear in mind that if the game reaches 1000 IC posts it can apply for its own Big Group Board. When that happens ALL threads get moved into the HIGHEST RATED category, so it might be worth starting every thread under the NC banner anyway (or BON if the consensus is that NC is a bit too far fetched for a quiet township type game).

NaughtyKitty

Ok...so I know this was my idea.....but as I mentioned before, I don't want to GM this game.  I want everyone to determine their own stories.  Hence, I'm not big on the idea of anybody pointing anyone in a direction or telling them to do something.  However, I will take care of building the town, maps, maintaining the character bio thread, etc. 

As for threads....I agree with Haibane on the number of threads. I'm told the number of permanent threads is limited to 2 per player.  Anyway, I like the idea of having a Pub thread or a hospital thread or a game store thread.  Each one of these would be "owned" by the proprietor...while that person could have a "home" thread owned by the head of the house hold. 

Neighborhood:  The town itself is not a large place. I want to have different neighborhoods, each having their own characteristics.  The well off folks live in one neighborhood (perhaps on the water).  The middle class folks off in another. Etc and so forth.  Obviously the different businesses run by the characters would spread amongst the neighborhoods. The also widens the possibilities for businesses.  Ie a regular pub in one neighborhood...a wine bar/jazz club in another. 

Thoughts?

Love And Submission

Sounds great to me. Are you going to be posting character sheets soon by the way?

Hi there, very interested in this. I don't have much time right now, but happy to set up a character sheet.

I would play a youger girl, maybe in a family with parents and siblings ( any takers?) probably 17, shy nerdy, very innocent.

Would go for NC as my thoughts extend to being pushed sexually, rape even, possible incest possible age gap, ... Essentially pushed into more and more experiences , possibly not entirely non con, but often very close, and sometimes totally!

I could take one of the sibling roles. Maybe a twin? The two girls couldn't be more different, though. My character would be more outgoing, popular and not so innocent.

I was going to play a much younger and baggage free character but iv never played a character with a family and it sounds like a lot of fun. So if you guys would like i can take the role of single mom to your girls. Maybe instead of Bartender i could be working with Lunarice at her Clinic, something like that.

Yay!  Can't wait!  Totally going to have a very classic style pub.  Low lighting, comfy chairs, a kitchen which while good has a small and reliable menu.  And of course a back room for billiards and darts.

Just because I can.....and even though I don't have a character created yet, I think I'm going to go ahead and call two things in town:

1) I want to play the Mayor.  :)
2) I want to own a car repair/performance shop  (I don't think anyone mentioned that....)

Can't wait to get the game going. If you've got a character sheet (and a photo if you'd like to add one), go ahead and PM me...and I'll get the character thread started.  :)

ivygrowth

I am thinking that my housewife character will work as a part-time waitress.  If at the pub that has been previously discussed that would be nice, if not probably at some bar (the dirtier the better). 

I thought about her owning a bar, but don't see her caring enough to want to run a business.  Unless someone was interested in being her manager, while she plays waitress/bartender?  If she owned a bar it would be the seedy, biker bar type.

Kate

i agree wiht all views however in my own house I would like extreme things to be ok without annoying rules or guidelines.

How can I "be myself" though and talk of extreme things in a thread that is NC or whatever ?

Some houses "there" (in may be necessary - from the perspective of anyone using the town though they dont know - they press a link and presto thats were they are ... travel back with a link elsewhere - poof they are back in a thread that is nc.


Haibane

Extreme isn't my thing and never really has been. If the game has extreme elements I'll bow out.

Josietta

Personally I'd like to live in an apartment building near the pub. As a waitress I'm not sure my single white female could afford much more, unless she had roommates in a house.   Any ideas on this? Comments?

NaughtyKitty

Ok....so here's a compromise for the location of the threads.  As mentioned, home base will be NC.  That's where we'll have the OOC and Character threads.  From there.....each individual house and business can establish their threads in any level they like.  Ie, if I want the Mayor's office to be in Light, the Haibane wants her home in NC, and Kate wants her home thread in Extreme.....that covers all of our bases.  A place for everything and everything in it's place. 

Then, I will establish a "Locations" thread in NC that will list everyone's home and business threads.  If they are outside of NC, there will be a notation like (L) for Light...(X) for Extreme. 

This way, we can all have what we want in the game and no one has to feel uncomfortable. If a home or business is in a category you don't want to go into.....then don't go there.

There's no reason for anyone to "bow out" because of content level.  The entire point of this game is that just like anyone can live anywhere they want....anyone can play in this game however they want.

I think Josi's apartment might be a very fun place to be!

Ok people......we've got an OOC thread.

Let's move the conversation there!

Those that haven't....PM me your character sheets. And as you create your Homes or Business threads, send me the links for them so I can update the Locations Thread.

Since you'll be the first resident of the apartment building, you can name the building/complex.  However, you only need to create a thread for your apartment.

Perhaps something like this:

The Town of Elliquiy:  Josi's Apartment

The inside the first post....something like "Elliquiy Arms Apartments - Apartment 3C"

Obviously we can come up with a better name for the building....but that's what I'm thinking.

Then...I'll add that link to the Locations thread under your characters name.  Sort of like a phone book.

The issue with allowing some extreme threads is that if the game reaches 1000 posts and gets its own Big Board, all of the game content will be moved to the highest rating, so the entire game becomes extreme-rated.

Given that this is an everyday city story I am struggling to see what extreme content would be involved. Extreme only covers such subjects as watersports, scat, bestiality, very graphic violence, vore, necrophilia and the like.

Perhaps the players who want an extreme rating could say what subjects they intend to include and we may find that what people actually want to do isn't extreme at all (a common thing on E these days it seems).

i role play in extreme often - and there isnt many posts that actually have anything extreme in them. Some do - 90 percent dont.

A "Light" thread in an extreme group I dont think will offend anyone - and most do look at people ons and offs before trying to involve them in anything.

This is my point. We don't need to go in extreme if we aren't writing about extreme themes. Therefore why do so?

Love And Submission

Because  if you write in extreme then you don't have any limits (within in the rules of elliquy) as to where you can go.I put alot of my rps in NC just because It might become NC. It's not that you're going to write in Extreme or NC , it's just that that might be were the story takes you.



Personally , When I start a roleplay I have an idea of where it's going to end up but I don't set it in stone. I adust for my partner wants.

Most certainly!

All you need to do is create a character....send me the bio and then you're off to the races.  :)

goalt

Sweet. I'll get that to you in the morning! Need to figure out what sort of occupation to do...
So, hey. Back now, and ready to write. Woo!

NaughtyKitty

Hai......I would like you to participate in the game.  :)  I think it would only benefit from having you as part of it.  After reading Kate's bio, I can see why she would desire to be allowed to write in the Extreme Forum. 

I'm looking into the issue because if/when we get assigned a subforum, I don't think it would be the best idea to have the entire thing consigned to Extreme. 

But at the same time...I'm not sure that I want to limit people either. 

So...let me see what the Staff says.  :)

goalt

If it means anything, I'd rather stay away from Extreme m'self. Doesn't feel like it fits the game too well. >.>
So, hey. Back now, and ready to write. Woo!

Since this is a game of many people, isn't it simplest to keep the limits to where most are comfortable? After all, it's easier writing in a setting which does not stretch as far as your limits than in one that exceeds them...

I'm talking with the staff.....and trying to sort out how to handle this with them.

However....If it's going to create an issue, I'm leaning towards cutting out the Extreme bits (animals, bathroom stuff....cannibalism - I draw the line at anything that far out there)

Kate

hey i think it may be easier if extreme was excluded - it is offensive to many - and we do have our own section for a reason.

This is a facinating idea  and i do wish it well. I think it sensible for me to pull out - but gosh guys enjoy it really is a facinating concept :)

Just to make things clear, I fully intend to create the owner of the local pub and create a thread for it.  Advance notice it will be NC rather than extreme(sorry folks not my thing lol).

And though I do intend this, should anyone feel the need or want to do so before me go right ahead.  I am rather busy this weekend so if you get ahead no worries.

Either way, sorry to all for taking so long.  Holidays suck except the for Christmas morning...Or all those non Christian ones too.  Ya, I am that open minded lol

I have a post on the first page about giving this game a shot, was just wondering if I was still able to throw up a character?

I would like to say that this is a game based on a town...  So what the people do in 'their' own home is none of anyone's business... If what goes on in your characters home is extreme then write 'contents of this thread are extreme' or 'read at your own risk' so that those not wanting to participate in the 'bad' acts do not get involved with them.  It is not the writers fault if they offend or cause uneasiness to others, they gave fair warning.

The other side of this is that, it is a living breathing 'town' you can't just say that people have a limit to what they are sexually into.  As far as you know your real neighbor could seem like a church going loon, but really love screwing goats.  That is all I really have to say on the matter. 
If you know me personally, you know how to contact me.

Well...I'm still willing to let people construct their home threads where ever they so choose.  In fact, I've been encouraged to do just that....and worry about subforums later (when it's time for such things).  So, if people want to be extreme in their home threads....go for it. They will be labeled as such in the directory, which was the original plan.   For the rest of the players, if you're not into extreme....don't go into those people's houses. lol. 

Just remember....the concept here is that this is a medium sized town.  As SinXAzgard21 said....what people do in the privacy of their own homes is their own business.  The best part about this concept is that there is room for everyone....regardless of what kink level they're into.  Just remember that, as in real life....if you do something naughty in public, you're probably going to spend some time in the clink!   And if someone has a scene inside a business....just remember what section it's in and adhere to the rules. 

So basically....what I'm trying to say is that there is room in this town for everyone.  No one should feel like they have to "bow out" for whatever reason.  Just like you wouldn't bow out in real life.

Edit:  As I've been working on this and discussing it, I just want to remind people of something.  This is not a Role Playing game in the usual sense. There is no script, no plot arc.  What is being created is a background for us to play in.  Each of us creates our own plot arcs and story lines....as we do every day living our lives.  That is why we can't necessarily nail down which forum section this belongs in....because it can span any and all of them just as there are a myriad different people.  The town is a back drop.  What you do with your character is your business.

Haha.  I did not say that, just mentioning it. ^ ^  Though I think my character is a little... Old to be an assistant?

Don't worry any more about the extreme elements issue on my behalf. Having thought about it some more I've decided that this isn't a game for me so I'm bowing out.

Please have fun everyone!

Guys, I have put up a post in the OOC thread that I want everyone to read.  Also, this thread is only for new people to find the game.  Any OOC discussion should happen in the OOC thread.

Thank you.
