A pleasure cruise (interest check)

[justme4386]

I had this idea after reading some old post of mine in a game called "Paradise Camp" which I greatly enjoyed.

Imagine a luxury cruise ship (something like this) that's filled with hedonistic people who got here for just one purpose: cruise in international waters where everything and everyone is allowed.

Only rules:

• No clothes allowed what so ever while aboard. There are actually small rooms right next to gangway for getting naked or dressed.
• Bending over is a "free for all" sign - no matter who does it (exception below).
• Passengers under the age of 18 must provide a signed waiver by their legal custodian before checking in.
• There are no cabin assignments. Either you find your own bunk buddy or enter the cabin lottery where anyone may get drawn to bunk with anyone
• Only consumption of provided substances is allowed with the exception of medicine. However it should be noted that soft drugs, like alcohol, grass and some sexual performance enhancing substances are available though regulated.
• Don't interfere with the operation of the ship. So no fucking against the steering wheel or stuff like that.
• Crew is off limits if they wear a red choker (which they must while on duty).
• While it's not strictly forbidden to have sex with people against their will, it's considered bad karma and might lead to retaliation...

As you can tell from these rules it's a very SLGBTI friendly cruise, actively enticing encounters between same and different gender. ;)

About the game:
I don't want to run a huge game. I am looking for three to five people who want to join.

I'd prefer post sizes of 2-3 paragraphs (100-300 words) at a rate of about 1 a week. If you can't for some reason, please let people know in the OOC, I know everyone hits a drought or real life will need attention - that's normal. We just need to talk about how we are going to handle it - like are we going to continue time for others and let that scene finish some other time, or so. I could even imagine that if someone just can't get around to finding the right words that person could just paraphrase what their character will do and another one filling in the post... kind of like consensual god-modding ;) only if comfy with it of course - but I'd not be against doing that. Of course this would have to happen in the OOC thread (not PMs) to prevent unwanted god-modding - unless there's a surprise planned for some players... then of course PM with GMs in CC are OK.

First and foremost I'd like to keep the game flowing and prevent somebody from stalling the game.

Oh and I think I don't need to mention that this is pretty damn far up on the smut scale - like an 7 to 9... ;)

Ok, that's the braindump so far. Please let me know what you think and if you have ideas of how to keep the game from failing within two month, I'd be happy to hear them. ;)



EDIT pulled up from below post so everyone interested please answer!
OK, poll time folks:
Please quickly answer the following:

• state if you would want to try "creative writing" or "regular roleplay" or "not at all, because...". The last one just being a favor to Me to know if just the scenario is crap or what... ;)
• state how often you feel comfortable to post - this is kind of the commitment you want to make at a minimum (if you post more than stated, nobody will complain).
• state if you'd want to play crew or guest and the preferred gender, maybe general age group. No specific characters yet! I'm still having some thought about those and that might have an effect on the character generation process... ;)
• state what kind of scenes you would be most interested in playing. Like Ether seems kind of hooked on the non-con, but it'd suck if she's the only one on the whole ship wanting to play NC. Likewise if the whole cruise will end up wanting bondage, someone else might have to GM it, because that's really not my cup of tea. ;)
• state if you would feel up to co-GMing. Regular tasks would be answering questions, coming up with events to entertain the guests and running these events if necessary (or at least support me when running them) and occasionally slipping into crew NPCs to support players in-game. Please note that Co-GMs will need to spend considerable time with these duties and will therefore probably spend less time playing their character - but the more co-GMs we get the more time we all have for our chars ;D.
• add anything you would like to know about the scenario and/or the game.

[MasterOfMyFate]

Interested :)

[1SAZ]

Curious and interested. Kinda interested in seeing how this plays out.

[CeruleanSerenity]

This sounds like it could be fun... I'm not sure I understand exactly how you envision the collaborative writing to play out, but I would be interested in seeing.

[justme4386]

This sounds like it could be fun... I'm not sure I understand exactly how you envision the collaborative writing to play out, but I would be interested in seeing.

I know what you mean. I feel the same way.

Here's some background on the thought. I got my paws on what's called a writer's guide to a franchise of books written by a slew of authors. To ensure they all stay more or less canonical and not mess up major iconic characters, there are certain rules clearly written out what those characters will never do, may do, will always do - combined with some background info about them that's not normally in any book yet. It's just something of a reference to writers.

Also there's stuff in there about what makes the stories unique, like the rule of "add one to reveal one" telling authors to add a secret about the particular universe if they reveal another. That way the readers always have something to marvel and speculate about - the universe will never cease to grow.... stuff like this.

So what I really would love to try is get together a group of dedicated writers and first put together and agree on some simple rules and characters that will take part in the story. There will probably have to be some kind of a red line of a story in there that we will agree on. We will then write scenes much like we are used to from regular roleplays - each playing one character in a nib and tuck kind of back and forth - but when the scene ends, you don't have to stick with that same character (unless you want to). Rather the characters go into a pool and as we further the story may get pulled back into action by any writer... but that writer will have to stick to the initial rules made up for the character - and further them on their character journey if one is defined.

Did that make it a little more understandable what I mean? Feel free to ask questions, as I really don't have a 100% set opinion on how it should work... I'm kinda brainstorming here.

If you think this is a bullcrap system, please tell me and if there is enough thinking so, I will drop this system and check for interest in playing it the regular way - one char per person and such... :)

Love,
Me

[CeruleanSerenity]

Oh, that makes more sense now, and I don't think it's a bad system. I do worry it wouldn't work well for an RP like this... it sounds like it might require tighter control over story and progression, while most freeform group RPs I have seen tend to be pretty loose about who does what, where, and when. But maybe that wouldn't be the case.

I also worry I wouldn't be comfortable using the characters of others... but that is just me, so that's not so much of a problem. I just tend to be nervous about that sort of thing, even with permission, but I wouldn't mind if other players used mine.

[Etherealgirl]

Sounds interesting. :) Especially the non-con

[justme4386]

Which would be perfectly fine to just use your characters. I think some of that apprehension might be coming from not really knowing where the other person wants to take their character or what the character may or may not do. But the idea is not to try and recreate the characters actions through second guessing but having decent guidelines to work from. I must say: I never used this system, but know it's used in professional environments where many authors work on one piece of universe.

But maybe that wouldn't be the case.

Yes, after posting this I have been thinking that really this is two posts mashed together. One about finding people to work out this "co-writing" system and to try a first example to refine the idea (or ditch it if it fails... which I half expect) and the other about the game of the hedonistic group on a luxury yacht.

However I am hesitant to play this with a larger group as I find that with three to four people every one feels more obligated to post for the others than if you have a huge group with free flowing time. Some people - like me - have a tendency to not be as harsh on themselves to cook up an answer - because there are others to entertain the rest. But once the circle of people is small enough that everyone is playing with everyone I feel the peer-pressure doing wondrous things to the steadiness of contribution.

Again, hopelessly generalized... and not meant to offend anyone or fingerpoint or anything... except towards Me... because I am guilty as charged.  :-[ *hangs head low in shame.

[Etherealgirl]

1. I'm up for just your normal roleplay.
2. I cam post multiple times a day, except hardly ever on weekends.
3. I would like to play a guest or crew. I can play 2 characters at max. Female generally.
4. Scenes I would love to play are non-con, or rough play. See my Ons and Offs. :D
5. I've never Co-GMed before, but would gladly help if I could.

[CeruleanSerenity]

1. I lean towards regular roleplay, but your creative writing idea sounds interesting, so I wouldn't say no towards that.
2. The most often I feel comfortable I could post is twice a week. Ideally I will post more often, but there are times I can't manage to write, so I can't promise daily posts.
3. I would like to play a female guest, probably around 20... but I'm fine with playing multiple characters, so age and role on the ship could change.
4. Group sex and public sex both interest me, but aren't mandatory (though the latter is pretty much a given in this setting, I think). I'm not generally into NC or heavy bondage.
5. I'm not confident in my ability to Co-GM. I'm willing to help with the RP where I can, but I don't think I would do well in a dedicated GM role.
6. Nothing comes to mind at the moment.

[whtbitch4u2own]

Interested....

[azzmeister89]

Haha this sounds like fun plus I think I have evened the male to female ratio.

[Chreestafer]

Definitely interested in this idea :)

[justme4386]

Edited the survey into the first post - so please everyone fill that out. If you don't I won't consider your interest to be genuine.

Those two who have filled out so far haven been noted and got a spot on my shortlist.  :-*

[Chreestafer]

:) working on it right now

[whtbitch4u2own]

1.   I’d have to go with regular play for this one.
2.   I’ll try and post once a week and more should time permits. So usually about at least two posts a week on average.
3.   Preferred Gender: Female. Age group: 20s to upper 30s. If playing only one character then I would pick guest. Maybe a crew member if I am going to play more than one character but it depends on how much time I have and how well this game picks up.
4.   Non-con and con both are fine with me. I am more interested in reluctant characters.
5.   I won’t have time to co-GM and also I have never so I rather not until I have proper time.
6.   Will let you know if something comes to my mind.

[King Serperior]

I could be interested, but I am not 100% sure I quite have the time if this turns out to be a fast-paced game.

OK, poll time folks:

• state if you would want to try "creative writing" or "regular roleplay" or "not at all, because...". The last one just being a favor to Me to know if just the scenario is crap or what... ;)

It depends on what you mean specifically with these options.  I would prefer I write like I would in any RP.

• state how often you feel comfortable to post - this is kind of the commitment you want to make at a minimum (if you post more than stated, nobody will complain).

I am very much a slow writer.  So, about 1-2 weeks is my usual, depending.  I have other games and RL things to do and sometimes my muse just doesn't want to function for some games over others.

• state if you'd want to play crew or guest and the preferred gender, maybe general age group. No specific characters yet! I'm still having some thought about those and that might have an effect on the character generation process... ;)

I am thinking a guest of any gender.

• state what kind of scenes you would be most interested in playing. Like Ether seems kind of hooked on the non-con, but it'd suck if she's the only one on the whole ship wanting to play NC. Likewise if the whole cruise will end up wanting bondage, someone else might have to GM it, because that's really not my cup of tea. ;)

Personally, anything is open for any character I may make except for a select few things.

Unfortunately, I am GMing a couple of games myself, so there isn't a major chance that I would be able to help GM the game. 

That said, I will keep an eye on the game for the moment.

[justme4386]

Hey King, somehow I knew you'd perk on this setting... somehow... ;)

Would love to welcome you aboard.

It depends on what you mean specifically with these options.  I would prefer I write like I would in any RP.

I explained the idea of the "co-writing" in a few posts above - but it seems kind of voted down, which I am not surprised about. However, I think I will take that idea to discuss in some other thread on another board and see if I can get some people to buy into it and try it out... ;)

[King Serperior]

Alright, well, I'll keep an eye out on what happens here.  It may turn out that I won't be able to join.  It may turn out that I can.  I'll just see who else joins in and what else is decided.

EDIT:  I just double checked my current games and I think that, as much as I would like to join, I cannot.  I fear that this would be the straw on the camels back.  :/

I do wish you all luck though.  I know you can make an awesome game, Me.   :-)

[MelisaArtemis]

Definitely interested. I have a bit of question though: If my character is on all four (out of habit or whatever)... but she's a lesbian, how does that work?

[justme4386]

well, initial idea is that if characters are on all fours so that someone can take them from behind, they are free to do so. I have thought of putting in a "color coding" to show that some may only want certain partners... but I'm not convinced it'll be cool. There are max 30 guests and it's supposed to be everyone does everyone. Depending on how many people would feel that it'd help the scenario if there was some kind of system to express wishes, I might let myself get convinced.

But in the original game that this is inspired by there was no such rule... and I must admit that I enjoyed what happened to my char because of that. *blushing*

I like the idea of color coding actually... because it makes it easier to fit with each other's O/O but that's just me (Oh the irony :'D). I'm just asking because I tend to prefer my character to do "it" with females :'D but... o well. Whatever you decide, this game seem pretty cool, either way, I'll most likely be on board :P

[justme4386]

I like the idea of color coding actually... because it makes it easier to fit with each other's O/O but that's just me (Oh the irony :'D).

You're welcome to suggest a good coding. ;)

As with the crew I was thinking about chokers. They are pretty hard to overlook.

However I had ditched that idea because I thought of the lottery system for the cabins and thought a "free-for-all" environment where you have no idea what the person sleeping in your bed might want to do would be fun. ;) However I was thinking of allowing room trading - so if you meet someone you want to actually spend the night with, you get to entice your and their roommate to switch assignments...

Coming to think of it... depending on the coding system that might still work. You find out that your roommate for the night isn't into girls, you're free to trade... or not if you really want to get some sleep (which you will need) :)

Love,
Me

[ElvenKitten]

I'm interested!

Ah. I think choker works great. Like... black for hetero, white for homo, grey if they swing both way. Its simple enough :) and it doesn't have to be a choker, it can be a bracelet or even a ribbon tie.

well... you said you're just looking for 5 people for the RP so I assume there are NPC guests too? Or is it a private cruise of 5?

[justme4386]

well... you said you're just looking for 5 people for the RP so I assume there are NPC guests too? Or is it a private cruise of 5?

Initial idea was to use a different system for playing where several people will take several characters. If I run this like a regular RP game, then I would think that more players are OK to join and maybe 2 characters a player max... depending on interest for this.

Then it makes me worry again about post speeds for people with multiple characters and consequently drop rates.  :-\

I'm starting to get more and more apprehensive about this idea, really...

[Chreestafer]

1. I'm truly open to anything, but regular rp is ok as well :)

2. My post rates tend to be a couple times ever day or two, however I understand how life can be (life really hates fun things that people do) so at least once a week.

3. Gender roles, I mainly play males, however I've always wanted to dabble in the Transgender scene.

4. I'm open to pretty much any kind of rp style, some I'm not used to or have never tried before, but I'm open to alot.

5. I do have a few of my own games going on, but if you need help I wouldn't mind a "behind the scene's" Co gm.

6. I do have one question, I'd the cruise only on open waters or will the ship be visiting port?

[MelisaArtemis]

I can help with co-GMing too if you like~ I'm probably not the best for the position though '''OTL I agree that the more people the more likely for the game to stall.... 5 is still rather few in number though.... I do admit my posting frequency can be rather slow... if I'm playing more than 3 RPs at the same time. Right now though, I'm only playing one (and this one would make 2) so I can expect to write at least in daily basis. Short ones, yes (about 1 or 2, maybe 3 paragraphs each post) but daily nonetheless :)

[justme4386]

5. I do have a few of my own games going on, but if you need help I wouldn't mind a "behind the scene's" Co gm.

Thanks for the offer, though I'm not quite sure what to understand as a "behind the scene's" Co gm.

5 is still rather few in number though....

Honestly, I don't think I have seen many games with more active players... ;) Yes, I have been part of larger games with more people, but those had a huge amount of inactive to one-time-posters in them... truly active were only a handful. But yes, the impact if one of 5 slips out is bigger I admit... I still need to settle my mind on this.

Right now though, I'm only playing one (and this one would make 2) so I can expect to write at least in daily basis. Short ones, yes (about 1 or 2, maybe 3 paragraphs each post) but daily nonetheless :)

I am a slow poster myself. I can pledge 2-3 times a week to check into E for an hour or two (don't let my current rate deceive you, I am home all day, which won't last). Considering other games I have and the extra work of GMing, I don't think I will be able to post more than 1 quality post (~300 words) a week. That's really the commitment I would be expecting from others.

I'm interested!

Would be great to have you on board again. ;) Could you be a sweetheart and answer the six questions from the first post? Just so I can get a rough idea of what I might be able to get together.

[MelisaArtemis]

Forgot to answer the question o///o

1. Both creative writing or regular RP work for me :)

2. Like I said, I can probably do 1 post every other day

3. Guest, Female, about 18 - 20 age group would be great.

4. Well... I don't really like NC though some scenes that borders NC and Vanilla would be fun like... my character VOLUNTARILY get on all four to invite the public to "play" with her. If the other party would be female would be great but males would be... okay depending on my mood ^^;

5. I can probably help with co-GMing. I has experience with it before though whether or not I'd be a good co-GM would be up for debate ^^;

6. None yet so far other than the ones we're trying to answer

[azzmeister89]

Alright answering the questions

1. I'm happy with any style we go with

2. I can probably post as much as two or three times between Monday to Friday and then same again for weekends.

3. I'll be playing a heterosexual male in his early to mid 20th

4. Again I'm fine with NC but not sure I'll be happy to play guy on guy scenes.

5. I have no experience with GM'ing so can't help you with that.

[Chreestafer]

Behind the scenes Co gm, meaning sit back and let the game unfold and I can give helpful tips or pointers if needed and all that.  And if you're gone for a few days just tell me to do something and I'll make it happen.

[justme4386]

Thanks for those of you answering... I do get a feeling that there's some interest in this, so I have started to work on a bit more detail.

6. I do have one question, I'd the cruise only on open waters or will the ship be visiting port?

Sorry, I think I missed this one before, so here's the answer:
Actually I think I will scratch the international waters from the storyline and instead strictly prohibit minors on the ship. Initial thought was that some counties in the Caribbean (where I wanted the cruise to take place) have a very strict view of sexual intercourse with minors. Therefore if we had characters aged 16-18 we'd have to stay in international waters for them to have unrestricted fun.

But I am getting more and more to the point that part of the fun will be to visit remote islands, visit ports (to take on new players and switch characters if someone feels like it), etc. Then this issue would be getting a bit in the way - so I am really thinking of prohibiting characters under 18 (under 21 need parental waiver for some countries) and for that make landfall.

In that regard here's some Call to Brainstorm for those interested in the game:
I'm looking for fun activities that can be arranged by the cruise director to make the cruise (and the game) more fun. Please submit your suggestions either below or if you think it'd be a cool as a surprise for the guests, PM me. :)
All input welcome!

[Chreestafer]

A good idea is to do maybe a group dinner, all selected at random. Tables seating like 6?

[ElvenKitten]

1. I'll go with the flow and try to match the style
2. Can likely get a post out once a week, more if the muse grabs me
3. Looking at a character in the 18-25 bracket
4. I'm ok with NC scenes if communication is made through pm etc
5. I've had limited experience with GMing but will  help any way I can to make this awesome  :D

[azzmeister89]

There could be an evening of drinking games at one point? and then throw spin the bottle and truth or dare too and you got your self a night of fun

[MelisaArtemis]

A poker night could be fun too, Talent show is another idea that might work, for something more... formal maybe throw a dance party of sort.

Thats the ones I can think off of my head. I'm not quite familiar with what sort of entertainment usually available on a cruise ^^;

[CeruleanSerenity]

Given the nature of the cruise, I was imagining events might often have a sexual twist... a casino night where participants bet their bodies rather than money, or an amateur pole dancing competition, or a dinner event where one can order sexual services from the wait staff in addition to the usual food and drink, for some examples that come to mind. And considering that the crew is often off-limits, some regular events might be arranged with most off duty, whether casual social gatherings or straight up orgies, to allow the passengers to freely interact with any crew members they have had their eyes on (and vice versa). But I'm not so familiar with cruises either...

[justme4386]

Thanks for the ideas. Please keep them coming... there's good stuff in there that I'll use.

Overall I get the impression that people prefer to play guests (don't blame you). Therefore I would think main characters will all be guests and crew maybe used as NPCs - after clearing the use with the GMs.

Also I decided (finally) that there will be no person under the age of 18 allowed. Those characters that are younger better have good fake IDs and hell of a great story reason to be there/have gotten those fake IDs.

Also if you think about making a character think about there the money is coming from. This cruise will be expensive and although I'm not making this part of the game you might want to keep in mind to need a character that can spend in the lines of USD 10,000 to USD 30,000 a week for this kind of pleasure... So just for you to have a better understanding of who your character is, you should have an idea where the money is coming from. Might be some inheritance, daddy's credit card, bank robbery ;)... really I'm not very judgmental, but the regular "saved it up from flipping burgers" will probably not come up with this kind of money. ;) We are talking filthy rich and shameless... :D

Also I have started up a world building thread for this and will get posts ready. The thread is labeled closed for now, but I will open it for suggestions once there's some meat in the posts... ;)

[MelisaArtemis]

Well... if I follow my usual character type... mine would be a wealthy princess of sort :'D Just for additional info though, where is the cruise gonna start? Nothing major, it just gonna decide what my character name gonna be XD

[justme4386]

I was going to offer a shuttle service from Lyndon Pindling International Airport in Nassau (Bahamas) to Coral Harbour Beach and from there a tender service to the ship is anchored off the shore (so no passersby are offended by the nudists on the ship) for the beginning of play. Undressing will happen in the tenders.

The rest of the route isn't really set and I am not sure if I really want to go to such length to make one. I'd rather say that if we need a larger harbor I will add it in the next day or two... ;) What do you folks think?

On board your personal effects can be stored in lockers that are centrally located and easy to get something from - as you have changing room assignments it might get a bit of a hassle to move stuff around.

[MasterOfMyFate]

I so ready to type. :D

Also, if I am take awhile to reply it is probably because I'm busy with work. I just moved to Korea and getting things squared away.

Looking forward to it. So far this is interest check only. No application for character slots.

But I think we definitely will need some more guys. :)

Depending on needs when it gets to that, I could possibly play 2 males. Have a few ideas.

Okay, after seeing the world building and reading a certain story series, I could be willing to give this a try.  Just don't expect the fastest poster in the world. 

And, for the record, I plan to play a male character.  I believe that the M-F ratio is leaning to the females?

*clapping hands excitedly* Goodie... looking forward to getting to play with you again.

But if you feel not sure about the posting speed, maybe you will want to have a look first and then join in as it's going? I have made the route very flexible to pretty much take on new guests at anytime.

Also I wouldn't worry about the ratios yet. That's for the actual recruitment. I just care for a tendency here. ;)

[King Serperior]

Same here, Me.  ;)

I'll keep my eye on everything, most assuredly. 

Well, I plan to play a male anyway.  It seems to be the best option after looking at the interested parties.

[Neo In Matrix]

Interested in playing as a submissive female. :)

New question everyone:
Would you prefer to have BDSM/NC scenes in a separate thread?

I'm currently thinking of having the following threads:

• Main thread for all parts of the ship and trips ashore
• Room thread for all 15 guest room - which allow to have the door closed (to keep the scene private)
• Brig thread for scenes either in the BDSM room or NC scenes taking place anywhere

What do you think?

[King Serperior]

I personally don't mind.  As long as it keeps things from getting overly complicated in keeping up with things, I'm fine with it.

And another request:
Could someone please take a look at the first draft for the recruitment thread and PM me with major inconsistencies/errors/loopholes/omissions discovered? Especially the sections "What that means to characters" and "Rules of the game" are relevant. The first part is fluff! :)

Known Issue: I still have to scale two images, upload them and include the links at the place where you find a placeholder comment. You won't have to tell me. :)

EDIT
One more request for the same as the 1st draft of the Character Post is ready in the world builder.

[MelisaArtemis]

Everything seem in place so far....

can we start PMing you the character sheets or is it not ready yet?

[justme4386]

I'd like to get the ship's description done before opening the threads officially, but if you are burning to send me something you may... Just be prepared to have to add section as I realize what I forgot. Even I change my mind at times.  ;)

EDIT: On second though: I have a few things on my plate that are higher priority - so you might not want get feedback for another week or two. If that's cool with you, feel free to pitch me concepts ahead of time or let me know what you are working on... or send fully fledged characters.

Also: I am opening the world building thread now - so feel free to comment in it!

Looking forward to your feedback.

[King Serperior]

Well, I'm not seeing any problems with it.  Everything looks great, Me!   ;D

[justme4386]

Recruitment Thread is up!

And therefore this thread is closed!

Looking forward to seeing you in the game.
