Thornwald Pharmaceutical (closed)

[Whispered Desire]

This plot began as an idea for a one on one and snowballed from there so while it could be done as a one on one with the use of several npc's, I felt it to have more potential in a small group format. I anticipate a more relaxed posting speed as many of us have one on one's that need attention as well as jobs and real life.

Thornwald Pharmaceuticals / Base plot idea

The world has changed recently, almost having returned to an era of free love and sex.  No longer is safe sex a problem, thanks to Thornwald Pharmaceuticals.

Thornwald Pharmaceuticals is not only the company that gave the world a pill that could provide safe sex for every living human being on the planet, but is a leader in the industry. 

The safe sex drug had been designed to be affordable enough for all and any of those who did not wish to be bothered with alternative and less effective methods of practicing safe sex.

This new drug has allowed the world to evolve into a world where sexual freedom is not shunned upon, but is rather instead embraced.  The world has entered a phase of sexual revolution.

Thornwald Pharmaceutical, world renowned industry leader in the advancement of sexual technologies is committed to continuing the research and development of drugs that will give the world even more of the sexual pleasure and enhancements that it craves. 

But as everyone knows, before a drug can ever be released to the public it must be tested, tried, and approved as safe. 

It is widely known across the world that the volunteer testers of these newly designed drugs get paid very handsomely (not to mention the job would seem to have fringe benefits that might be appealing to the less sexually reserved individual,) provided that they meet the requirements to be a volunteer. 

A limited group of players may work best for this, with each person perhaps taking on two characters since there will be a need for both company testers (attendants)  and the volunteers. The drugs would be tested at different stages and perhaps within different groups ranging from possible virgins to the more sexually experienced.

[TreyWalker]

Just want everyone to know I'm in and it sounds really fun.

[Nameless One]

I'd be interested, too.

[TreyWalker]

Cool. Wrk I can't speak for the lovely whispered desire but we have been pining about this. I've read your o&o and some posts and I think you'd be a good fit. Do you have any ideas about this rp?  Any side effects of testing you have imagined? Any characters you've dreamed up for the scenario.

Whispered desire and I are looking to discuss this with the people we write it with in a collaborative effort.

And not to be presumptuous, will you be playing males or females or both?

[ShadowFox89]

 Looks interesting, I'd be interested in playing a guy for a company tester and gal for volunteer.

[Whispered Desire]

Good to see such interest in this and I'll be back later after work to discuss it further.

Thanks to all for their interest. :).

As well, I will be playing one char as a virgin for the testing. My other char will be one of those who work with the volunteers providing their medicine, logging their observations and providing whatever assistance might be needed of them.  I've rarely played a male but if one is needed, I'll fill that spot.

I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on plot bunnies for this.

Edit

Everyone please remember this rp is not anticipated to move quickly or have players who are looking to speed post. 

[ShadowFox89]

 About how fast do you expect posting rates to go? My posting speed has slowed down a bit over the months, but I can do a post every day or so of two or three paragraphs.

[Whispered Desire]

Finally home and can get a few things done I want to with this but first, to answer your question Shadow.

I anticipate some of the players to only be able to possibly post once a week depending on schedules.  I know personally, I work forty plus hours a week, mentor young adults on the side, have several one on one rp's going and have that thing called real life to deal with. 

Often my own posts will come over weekends when I can take time to dedicate to writing. Sometimes on weekends I might post once a weekend and other times, several times a weekend or week.

Others who have shown interest via pm have indicated that their interest may be dependent upon posting speed so I wanted to clarify that for all who are thinking about joining. 

Something else I'd like to throw out there real quick is that there may be things others in the rp are into that don't reflect your own tastes so I ask for tolerance to the other players if any scenes such as that might arise. 

Okay, while dinner is baking I'm going to get on pulling my notes into something to share here to be pondered and discussed and will either post or edit this post accordingly.  :)

[ShadowFox89]

 It's all fine with me, I'd rather have a slow posting game where we don't lose anyone and that lasts for a while than a quick posting game that dies fast ^^'

[Whispered Desire]

Understood! Same here. I'd rather get up a decent reply than feel pressured to get up a reply. I'm sure several others might feel that way as well here at E.

Okay, here we go!

Notes for Thornwald, possible ideas and plot bunnies!!

This is a compilation of some ideas, questions and concerns that have been addressed to me via pm by interested parties.  So I thought I’d share them here so they can be discussed, or perhaps answer a question that someone else might be wondering about.

The safe sex drug has already been tried, tested, found effective and approved for the market place.  It has been available for some time now.  The companies directive at this point is to continue to develop sex enhancing and performance drugs while ensuring the safety of the user. 

Testing will need to be done and this is accomplished via volunteers.  These test subjects would range from anywhere to age, gender, ethnic groupings, to the sexually inexperienced to the well experienced. 

Approved test subjects would be provided housing where it would make the testing private, easy, as well as provide a more relaxed environment for the timid at heart.

Some of the things being discussed/considered are as follows:

Test subjects would have their own personal program attendants (thus the need for even numbers of players, male/female/test subjects/attendants) or employees of the company.  These attendants might share the same room with the test subjects, or they might have adjoining rooms with one way mirrors.  This would be for the study and evaluation purposes of their test subject as well as any other good reasons that could be come up with.  ;)

The drugs being tested could be of more than one variety with each test subject being subjected to the all of the different drugs throughout the course of the study.

Test subjects would be monitored by their attendants after the administering of the drug. 

Observations would begin immediately after the introduction of the drug into the system.

All and any ideas are welcomed to be suggested and etc.

Things to consider for possible drug development:

Loosening sexual inhibitions.

Prolonged orgasms.

Inducing multiple orgasms.

Making it impossible to control ones desires.

An arousal inducing drug that does not allow for release until a counter drug is received.


Things to be observed:

How quickly does the drug wear out?

Does the drug work differently on different types of test subjects in regard to age, ethnics, etc in regard to it intensity, effectiveness, etc?

Does the drug affect levels of desire and frustration?

Does the drug increase sperm production?

Does the drug increase semen production?

Does it enhance the orgasm?

Some possible volunteer conditions to determine their willingness and desire to participate as a test subject:

Must be healthy.

Must be willing to abide by and follow the testing rules and agendas.

Must understand that privacy will be primarily nonexistent due to observation needs.

Must agree to after the drug being administered, orgasm may not be allowed for a set amount of time as well as the actual act of intercourse for the first X amount of time. Only oral or self stimulation would be allowed at this time.

Must be able to accept that limited contact with any individual other than your attendant would be  required at times. 

For the attendants, company employees:

Must remember that at all times you are there to observe (and perhaps willingly participate in your charges activities, that is up to you) and be understanding of test subjects current situation while under the effects of the drugs.

Any involvement you may have with test subject physically or emotionally would be secondary to your actual task at hand. 

The floor is open for discussion!  Let's discuss!

[TreyWalker]

Just making sure this is still visa me and I'll post my thoughts soon.

[Whispered Desire]

I'll be waiting to hear your thoughts along with anyone else interested in this.

Since we seem to have enough interest in male chars I'll be taking on two female chars. One will be a virgin volunteer. The other a health attendant. So we still need a few female chars along with discussion and ideas. :).

[Azaco]

I am highly interested in it.. sounds like a very fun time

[Whispered Desire]

Azaco!! Glad to see you made it!  :).

Okay I'll try to pull together if we have equal sides and enough players to start.

What chars do you have in mind Azaco?   M/f or both?

[Azaco]

both. love duality and more of a challenge

[ShadowFox89]

 Do you have a sheet for us to fill out?

And how sadistic can the testers be?

[Whispered Desire]

I'm thinking very basic character sheets will work for this.

Name :

Age :  Must be at least eighteen years of age.

Description :

Profession : attendant-tester/volunteer  Attendants can also do other jobs at the company, such as drug development technicians, scientists, etc. 

Reason for becoming involved in program? :

Personality:

Sexual orientation: 

Sexual experience level: virgin, novice, well experienced??

Hmm.  Sadistic?  What do others think? I'd say they can be devious to fulfill their own needs but not to the extent of being abusive as I'm certain that would be against company policies? 

[ShadowFox89]

 Well, not bodily harm, but things like denying orgasm more than needed, etc...

[Azaco]

Sadistic to the point of no abuse.

[Whispered Desire]

Well, not bodily harm, but things like denying orgasm more than needed, etc...

As long as they aren't abused I have no problem with sadistic and devious. But never, ever rape in the story or anything against E's rules.   Torment is great. ;). Abuse, not good!!

[Azaco]

Awesome.

Would it be alright to start posting characters?

[Whispered Desire]

I think we could but I still want to get a count of who all is in, how many chars we have for each and if that numbers fairly even. It will be best to keep the male to female ratio even or at least pairings even. As well as we need one tester per volunteer.

[Azaco]

I can play both sets

[ShadowFox89]

 I planned on playing one of each.

[Whispered Desire]

Okay, so right this minute I'm taking it that we have three testers, three volunteers.  As well, four females and three males?  I will play a  male instead of a second female, if it is needed.

How many people would we like to see in this group?  I'm thinking no more than five? With each taking on two characters, making it ten characters total?


How does that sound to everyone?  And if we can't get a total of five, then do we want to make it a smaller group then?

As well, while we are tossing out plot bunnies, does anyone have ideas they would like to see brought into this? And, do we want the testers and volunteers to have to share rooms, or do we want adjoining rooms? And do we want each room to have a camera so that test subjects can be observed at all times, or do we want them to have that privacy, in their own rooms?

I'll start plotting on a first post, after I hear from everyone and get input. I'm going to say it's okay to start putting in character sheets now.

I will be playing two females, unless another male is needed. One will be a virgin volunteer, the other, an employee of the pharmaceutical company, the program manager who is an active attendant. 

And I'm thinking, that all characters should be eighteen for this since they are volunteering for sexual testing.  Thoughts? Concerns??

[Azaco]

I agree with the age limit. As well, I think one drug idea we can test is skin sensitivity, making their body more susceptible to touch, if possible.

And as for the camera's I think it should be in the bedrooms as well, to make sure they are following the rules and making sure that all results can be tested.

[Whispered Desire]

Azaco, I like that idea. That literally could be one of the very first drugs they all need to experiment with?


My first character:


Name :  Corrina "Rina" Whitson

Age : 22

Description :

Rina Whitson



Profession : Volunteer

Reason for becoming involved in program? :  She has a dream of attending the finest liberal arts college but little chance of doing so unless she can raise the money needed.  She's volunteered for many other projects to raise quick cash, although none quite like this one.  Although the subject matter of this particular volunteer program causes her a great deal of distress, the shy young woman felt she had no choice but to join as it was her last hope to raise the remaining cash she needs if she wants to attend the best college that is available.

Personality:  Although Rina is a friendly type of girl, she can also be rather shy and reserved, especially around the opposite sex as she is still a virgin. Rina also has a bit of a complex about her body, her breasts having remained on the rather small side throughout her school years, giving her a bit of an inferiority complex, especially around other women who had much larger breasts than her own.

Sexual orientation: Straight, possibly bi-curious

Sexual experience level: 100 % virgin, never having had any sexual experiences above and beyond holding hands and kissing.

[ShadowFox89]

 Wow, Rina is pretty much exactly how I was going to go with my character, right down to the hair color >.<

[Azaco]

Time for me

Name: Lilian "snowflake" Tenshi

age: 18

Description:

Profession: Volunteer

Reason for becoming involved in the program: While no stranger to playing and masturbation, she has come across a very embarrasing problem. Upon release, she squeaks, similar to a mouse. This problem has prevented her from any actual sex, though she has been known for fingering and self play. She didn't join for the money, but hoping to find a drug that will either supress the event, or make the reward worth the embarrassment.

Personality: Happy and a bit on the bubbly side, Lilian is not a shy person. Happy to the point of naive, she enjoys being around others, always there for a good laugh and a good time. Most people find her body rather pleasing, as her moderate C-cup breasts are a center of attention for most men.

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, though prefers men.

Sexual experience level: 90%. While still a virgin, she is no stranger to the touch of another, or of herself.

[Whispered Desire]

Wow, Rina is pretty much exactly how I was going to go with my character, right down to the hair color >.<

LOL.  I figured there might be several virgins or really inexperienced people created for this, which should be rather comical at times watching them fight their need to become sexually active as the drugs are given to them.

I eagerly await your character sheet.

I'll try to work on my other character soon.  In the meantime feel free to post your character sheets.


Azaco, Lilian is unique and I can't wait to see how this unfolds for her as well.


I have not heard from Trey lately and have a pm in to him.  Hopefully we will hear from him soon as well and anyone else who might be interested.

[Whispered Desire]

My second char:


Name : Kylie Jolene Carlson - Goes by Kylie, or otherwise often referred to as Jo by her friends.

Age : 29

Description :

Kylie Carlson

Profession : Drug development technician/attendant

Reason for becoming involved in program? : Despite her good looks, C.J. can be a bit of a bookworm, and she is obsessed with learning about what makes people tick and why they act the way that they do.  She’s always studying society, their usage of drugs, and how it affects them; making working as a drug development technician the perfect job for her, as well as being an active attendant in the program.

Personality: Generally speaking Kylie is outgoing and freely speaks her mind.  While somewhat attractive, her looks can be deceiving as it is a well known fact that she is being groomed by some of the head scientists at the pharmaceutical company for advancement from her current technician position into a much more advanced, if not lucrative position working more directly as a part of the scientist team for Thornwald Pharmaceuticals. 

Sexual orientation:  While Kylie would now claim to be straight, she has been known to play in the minors without ever having completely advanced to majors. 

Sexual experience level:  She’s been an attendant before, so in that regard as well as every other, she is definitely well experienced. 

[Vanetias]

I would want to try this one out. :)

[Whispered Desire]

Please go ahead and submit your character sheets. We need two more females and five males total so as soon as I see what characters will be submitted we can hopefully get this thing started!

[Azaco]

Name: Devon Coulier

Age: 27

Description:

Devon Coulier
Profession: Attendant/pharmacist

Reason for joining the program: Devon is a lover of peoples reactions. He has made a habit of studying people, watching how people react to events in many different ways, finding their reactions to be astonishing. Being able to take part in this study was a huge bonus for him, not only financially, but to be able to study peoples reactions to one of the most intimate acts in human life.

Personality: Devon is sort of an odd ball. He can become easily excitably over new things or things that interest him, to the point that he forgets about other important needs, or other people. Otherwise he is rather laid back, choosing to take things at a slow and easy pace.

Sexual orientation: Straight.

Sexual experience level: He know's his way around women, and has shared a few glorious nights with strangers of the night.

[Whispered Desire]

Also I'm going to try to post some more details and pose some more questions tonight on how to make this a fun game for all!!


EDIT:  trying to pull it all together, let's try to discuss what we want to see in this game and etc for those of you planning on being involved.


Decide on # of players.   How many players do we want to limit this too or do we need?

Decide on what drugs will be tested and the order of testing.

Things to consider for possible drug development:  Please toss any ideas you have for this out for discussion!

Loosening sexual inhibitions.

Prolonged orgasms.

Inducing multiple orgasms.

Making it impossible to control ones desires.

An arousal inducing drug that does not allow for release until a counter drug is received.

Things to be observed:

How quickly does the drug wear out?

Does the drug work differently on different types of test subjects in regard to age, ethnics, etc in regard to it intensity, effectiveness, etc?

Does the drug affect levels of desire and frustration?

Does the drug increase sperm production?

Does the drug increase semen production?

Does it enhance the orgasm?

The drugs being tested could be of more than one variety with each test subject being subjected to the all of the different drugs throughout the course of the study.   Thoughts, concerns, suggestions?


Some things to discuss/consider/and finalize.

Do we want this to be on a private Island or some remote location to limit accessibility to the outside world?

Some possible volunteer conditions to determine their willingness and desire to participate as a test subject:

Must be healthy.  Must have undergone physical exam for eligibility. 

Must be willing to abide by and follow the testing rules and agendas. What rules do we want the volunteers to have to abide by?

Test subjects would have their own personal program attendants (thus the need for even numbers of players, male/female/test subjects/attendants) or employees of the company.  These attendants would share the same studio flat with the test subjects.  Approved test subjects would be provided housing where it would make the testing private, easy, as well as provide a more relaxed environment for the timid at heart. This would be for the study and evaluation purposes of their test subject as well as any other good reasons that could be come up with. 


Test subjects would be monitored by their attendants after the administering of the drug. 

Observations would begin immediately after the introduction of the drug into the system which includes cameras in all volunteer accessible areas, bedrooms included.

All participants must remain in the test facilities for the duration of the testing process. Interaction with the outside world will be limited to phone calls and emails. Do we want to limit this availability to a centralized rec room or allow cell phones and personal computers in the actual bedrooms?

Must understand that privacy will be primarily nonexistent due to observation needs. Do we want camera’s in the room?  I think we should have camera’s in the rooms to that observation can be recorded at all times during test period.

Must agree to after the drug being administered, orgasm may not be allowed for a set amount of time as well as the actual act of intercourse for the first X amount of time. Only oral or self stimulation would be allowed at this time.  What time frame after drug being administered do we want to have volunteers abide by before allowing orgasm, and ultimately when the time comes, intercourse?

Must be able to accept that limited contact with any individual other than your attendant would be  required with the exception of other volunteers.

Extra needed items such as snacks, clothing, etc can be obtained in the supply store. 

For the attendants, company employees:  Do we need to add anything to this? Also, I think that all attendants should have some sort of health background even if not employees of Thornwald..

Must remember that at all times you are there to observe (and perhaps willingly participate in your charges activities, that is up to you).

You must be be understanding of test subjects current situation while under the effects of the drugs.

You must never be physically abusive to your test subject.

Any involvement you may have with test subject physically or emotionally would be secondary to your actual task at hand.

[Robelwell202]

After some PRIVATE conversation (Waggles eyebrows suggestively) with the GM (Or, rather, the person that originated this awesome idea), I'm announcing that I'll be committing to two male characters.

CAVIAT:   If my characters are to interact, intimately, with females, I require female players to play them.  Thanks!

[Whispered Desire]

Thanks Rob! Actually, I was hoping to get another female for this, but please remember, that your character does NOT have to be intimate with anyone if you do not wish them to be.  I suspect most people will have intimacy of sorts with others, but it is by no means a prerequisite of participation in the program.

EDIT, right now we have three male and three female characters.  We will need at least one more male and one more female before we can think of beginning.  I'll be waiting on char sheets!!

[ElvenKitten]

This seems interesting,  will get a character up once I'm on my laptop again.

[Vanetias]

Name :Shin Jin

Age :  20

Description :


Profession : Volunteer

Reason for becoming involved in program? : He came here mostly to have  a taste on what ‘real’ sex is like, also did this due to his boredroom

Personality:Friendly to everyone, amicable and sociable, his open personality is said to be reinforced by his hedonistic secrets, which was said to be defunct during his life, till now he has yet to unleash his taste for sex, until now, where a real woman is an available option for him.

Sexual orientation:  Hetero

Sexual experience level: Virigin, learnt sex from indirect material

[Whispered Desire]

Looking great so far everyone!  Can't wait to see the rest of the Character sheets.

I'm going to be fairly busy this weekend but will be checking in as often as I can.  I'd love to see us be able to start soon, and please, feel free to give input!

[lore]

Name : Rhona Gale

Age :32

Description :
PB: Julia Jones

Profession : attendant, a lead drug development technician and shareholder 

Reason for becoming involved in program?: Rhona has devoted her life to Thornwald, her work having significantly contributed to the ongoing battle to stay one step ahead of mutating viruses. Despite years of being an outspoken advocate for the company, she has developed concerns around certain strains of new drugs being developed by Thornwald, fearing that they may muddle consent. After having her objections ignored, she volunteered so as to keep a close eye on the trials.

Personality: Aloof, introverted and brilliant, Rhona is a stranger to her colleagues who know her only for her meticulous work. Often criticized for being too rigid, she takes business ethics seriously and is referred to by her lab partners as "The Law" (behind her back, of course). Beneath her distant exterior is a poetic spirit. When she returns to her empty apartment at night, she listens to classical compositions in the near dark, enjoys a glass of scotch, and contemplates. An old soul, she tends to be annoyed with anyone under the age of 25.

Sexual orientation: Hetero

Sexual experience level: Despite having the occasional lover, Rhona is out of practice and not altogether that experienced. work always came first.

[Robelwell202]

Name :Doctor Jeffry Greeves, PhD

Age :  41

Description :  Black hair, grey eyes, 225 lbs, well built but not overly muscular.   Wears glasses to read, and almost never wears a tie.

Profession :  Attendant (Clinical adviser, and research consultant.  Specializes in psychological aspects of human sexuality)

Reason for becoming involved in program? :  As a consultant for the program, he'd offered to stay around and observe the various aspects of the development of the various drugs.

Personality:  Greeves is a quiet, yet friendly sort.  He's very open about sex, as it's his profession, but he's never been forceful with anyone.  He prefers to make the 'offer' to anyone that might have an issue to discuss, but that's where it ends.  He doesn't pursue anyone at the present time.

Sexual orientation:  Hetero

Sexual experience level:  Very, very experienced.

There's my first character.



Name :  James Darren McTigue

Age :  27

Description :6', 240 lbs (Farmer build), blond hair, blue eyes.  Usually wears jeans and t-shirts.

Profession :  Farmer (corn and wheat), third generation, handed down through family.

Reason for becoming involved in program? :  James is a little skittish about sex, due to the idea that it can cause 'kids'.  However, he's terribly attracted to women, and he wants to find out what it's really like to be with one.

Personality:  Jim's a farmer-john friendly type.  He'd give the shirt off his back to anyone that asked, but around women, he's shy and a touch scared by them.

Sexual orientation:  Hetero

Sexual experience level:  Virgin (90%, due to several exhaustive self-managed hand-jobs).  Very eager to lose the rest.

[lore]

Ahaha I see James inadvertently testing Rhona's commitment to her moral principles. 

Feedback: I have no preferences on number of players, but have you thought about hoe the thread(s) are going to be organized? Would it be problematic for one paired team to post faster than the others?

do we want the testers and volunteers to have to share rooms, or do we want adjoining rooms? And do we want each room to have a camera so that test subjects can be observed at all times, or do we want them to have that privacy, in their own rooms?

Maybe a little of all the above? Thornhwald could have varied the testing conditions to track the influence the Hawthorn effect. That way people could choose if they want, or have their conditions randomized. My ideal would be: Shared room, no camera. Sara is to personally report on her findings and as such must be in the same room as her volunteer at all times.

[Vanetias]

As a suggestion, to heighten the 'mood' up, how about we get one ore more promiscuous girls?  ;)

[Whispered Desire]

Sara is to personally report on her findings and as such must be in the same room as her volunteer at all times.

I think if we do all shared rooms, then we can go no cameras.  All attendants will need to be reporting their findings, and we can just use general npc's for those purposes. 


And I agree with Vanetias.  I think no more virgins in general at this point male or female. 

Let me pull together our chars and see how many we have as we need equal sides here.  We were asking everyone to take on two characters if need be, is anyone willing to take on another character as some of us already have two?  We just need the sides to be even.

As I said before, I will have company this weekend so will only be able to work on this randomly.  I have some ideas for a beginning, and have it lain out on paper, I just need to be able to get it typed up and see what I have so far.

Please feel free to give input before we begin as I want this to be something everyone wants.

As well remember, testers and volunteers won't be strictly interacting with each other.  But, there will always be testers present, even in the common room where people can gather to socialize and etc.  People can go visit each others rooms, etc.

Since this is a small game, is there room for more than one thread?  I'm a bit new to how things are done on E as far as group games go.  Also, if we stick with one thread I'd like everyone to post at the top of their post which character they are posting as, and where they are currently located.  ie...their private room, the cafeteria, deck, common room, etc .  And I'd like to see everyone not get too far ahead, so as to keep everyone on the same day and moving into nights and the next day at the same rate of pace.  I would like everyone to be able to remain involved and not get left behind, thus why we originally said no speed posting.  Some of us simply just can not post as quickly as others due to other circumstances.

[ShadowFox89]

 I don't think I really have time for this now, getting left behind a bit on chargen and haven't been able to put anything together insofar as a character >.<

[Whispered Desire]

Hate to see you go but if you change your mind, let us know.

Okay, here's the tally. We have four volunteers, four attendants.  We have two volunteer females, two males.  We have four attendants, two male, two females.

So as of right now our numbers are even, do we want to wait for one more attendant and one more volunteer, or do we think we can make this work with eight characters?  I would like to see two more characters, one male one female, one volunteer, one attendant although again, I'm not sure we need to wait for more?  Thoughts anyone?

I like the one thread with labeled posts idea. Maybe advancing to the next day can only be done after a GM post announcing the conditions of the next trial?

Wow it's very fortunate the way the stats worked out. I am good to start whenever, but if you have your hands full and people are hoping to see a more promiscuous female, we might as well leave it open?

Two questions whenever time allows:
-Will attendants have a set of directions to follow or are they free to observe the properties of the drug as they see fit?
-In this future, how advanced is technology? I was thinking of a tool that Rhona (and any other technician who wanted in on the project) could have had a hand of developing: a band equipped with a microscopic needle and sensors that can be worn around the throat, wrist or bicep to read a litany of information: heart rate, body chemistry, body temperature ect. This data could be transferred to attendants smart devices in real time.

I think the gm announcing the change into the next day will work fine for this.  I would like to see an even balance of promiscuous and virgins, I don't think everyone should be inexperienced. 

I think the attendants will be allowed to have a fairly open observation list, as long as those listed are incorporated.  The way I'm thinking to set this up is that both attendants and volunteers will have their own bit of rules to follow or things that are required of them.  Would still like to see input on some of the questions I've previously presented.

I like your idea of having some type of band that can be worn equipped with sensors for collecting data, as part of their primary function is to make sure that all drugs introduced are safe. And having it download directly to smart devices would be wonderful.  we have wireless internet and etc, why not wireless downloading to their devices so it is real time. I like your idea very much!

As far as starting goes, what's everyone think? More people, or do we have enough?  I can start typing up an opener for this, and would like to hear other peoples suggestions for a start.  My initial idea is to have them all gathered in a centralized type conference room where they would be handed their rules and expectations, sign them and be certain to give them to their attendants since we want it all to be nice and legal.  ;)

Now to tackle the big question, pairing up the attendants to the volunteers? Other than Robwell who would like his opposites to be female writers writing females, does anyone have any expectations as far as that goes?  And, how is the best way to pair attendant with volunteer?

I'm thinking the rooms that are like studio flats will work best for this, that way the rooms are fairly open to each other, and of course separate beds will be in the rooms but other than that, there will be not one iota of privacy.  Well, other than without cameras, how do attendants know what is going on in the showers/bathrooms in as far as who is and isn't being sexually active against the rules?  >:)

*Also, I'm not sure a private island would be necessary for the testing but I'd like to keep it somewhere near the water as an incentive for volunteers to join, and as well to give them some forms of relaxation and make it appealing to them.  Thoughts on that?  I'm going for a comfortable environment for this.

Idears:

PAIRINGS: writers could PM you with their preferences, and you can do your best to sort them accordingly (with everyone under the understanding it may be impossible for everyone to get what they want). People who don`t respond could be considered neutral and randomized.

I am a fan of your open concept design :) To answer your question about shower privacy: muah haha

Bathrooms could be a semi private stall, or a small closed room with a door that doesn't lock. It would be included in the volunteer contract that they were not to engage in any sexual activity unsupervised. Should the monitoring band alert the attendant to the possibiliy that they are engaging in activity, the attendant had permission to enter the room.

I love all of these ideas actually, I had actually found some rooms, where there were tubs right beside the beds, but I think this would be awesome, that the bands would alert them if their pulse went above a certain level that they were engaging in sexual activity, and they would have to agree that it would be in their contracts, and if they didn't keep to the contract they wouldn't be paid or what-have-you...

nod nod..yep, really liking these ideas.

Does everyone want to pm me with their preferences then? But like lore said, not everyone will get the person that they'd like to be paired up with but that doesn't mean, that you can't engage in activity, be it sexual or otherwise, with people who are not paired up.  (Think Jersey Shore type scenario here, attendants don't have to be your sexual partners, they only HAVE to observe test results.)

And I'm still undecided about the sexual activity time limits after administering the drugs.  The point is to see how effective the drugs are, how quickly they work and dosage etc etc etc....

[Whispered Desire]

Okay, so right now the problem we seem to be having getting everyone matched up is going to be that we really need at least one more, preferably two more players or at least one promiscuous female since my char is virgin and Azacos is a bit on the fun side but still a virgin.  Since I'm the gm, I still want to play a virgin so  unless Azaco edits so his isn't a virgin or we can get another player or get someone to take on a second char who hasn't yet, we're either stuck until we get more chars, or someone won't end up getting their ideal match up. 

Thoughts? If I don't get input I can always just make a gm call.  But in reality, remember, just because you have an attendant for observation does not mean that volunteers can't be sexually active with other volunteers.  (Not to mention, once the virgins get a taste of what sex is really like, they may quickly turn promiscuous, which could solve the problem of equal match ups.   >:)  )

[Robelwell202]

I'm still willing to alter James' profile to make him non-virgin.  If that would add possibility to the game, I'm all for it.

[Whispered Desire]

Actually, the non virgin needs to be a female to more or less give everyone what they would like, but, with that said I have an idea and will send a pm out in that regard to the appropriate people.  This, could work.  XD

If all volunteers are wearing bands that alert the attendants to sexual activity when they are not present, its easy enough to envision a promiscuous female visiting other males rooms on their own down time.  I certainly would imagine that there would be breaks between testing, time for people to not be under the influence of the drugs at all times.  I'm sure there are ways around it if we can't get another player or character to throw into this mix.  Unless I take on a third character which I'm not opposed to doing but if I have to do three characters, some players might be waiting for posts which doesn't really seem fair to others. 

[ElvenKitten]

Got a character sheet nearly done, will post it up when I get home, going for a promiscuous character. ;D

[Whispered Desire]

Perfect, can't wait to see the sheet.  That will help even out the odds a bit and when all chars have been submitted I'll make my final determinations and see if I perhaps need to edit one of my own chars or not to fill whatever needs may be left.  With an uneven number of players, I might make Kylie a floating type attendant which will give the other attendants breaks and personal time, etc.  Things are shaping up nicely here, thanks everyone!

Re: pairings

You could always have Lilian as a "Pinch Hitter" - A volunteer who was brought to the island as a backup in case one of the others has an adverse reaction. That way she could still be posted in the communal lounge if wanted, and if a volunteer does vanish or back out from the game, we have a substitute ready to go.

[Azaco]

That sounds interesting...

I like it a lot

[Whispered Desire]

I like that idea quite a bit and I think it solves our problem. As well, I'd like to keep all further suggestions and ideas contained to this thread so we all can have input since it will affect our characters. 

As soon as Elven Kitten can get her character sheet posted, i believe we will be ready to begin with the exception of Vanetias who will be gone until Tuesday. 

As I post this, I currently have the IC ready to go and will post as soon as our last character has been posted.

I have decided to go with one thread, and would ask that all players use this format when posting

Your characters name:
Day of the week:
Current Location:

Some other key things to remember, volunteers will be provided with a monitoring band that is to be worn at all times. As well, during the introduction everyone will be given a consent form to be handed to their personal health attendant before being shown to their rooms. 

A reminder of the rules for all attendants which must be adhered to at all times.

Must remember that at all times you are there to observe (and perhaps willingly participate in your charges activities, that is up to you).

You must be be understanding of test subjects current situation while under the effects of the drugs.

You must never be physically abusive to your test subject.

Any involvement you may have with test subject physically or emotionally would be secondary to your actual task at hand. 

Monitoring devices will feed directly to hand held wireless devices that will monitor the volunteers current medical stats.  It is your responsibility to make sure that monitoring bands and devices are working at all times.

I'd like to keep all further suggestions and ideas contained to this thread so we all can have input since it will affect our characters. 

Would it be possible to have an OOC thread with all the profiles linked or posted on the first post? I've been hesitant to hash out ideas here because I've been advised not to clutter up recruitment threads with plotting in the past.

We can use this ooc for hashing out ideas and etc, as that's what I've always used the ooc's for.  As to linking, I'd love to link all of the characters in the first post of this thread, if I knew how to link to individual thread posts here on E.  I have been able to do this on other forums, but have no clue how to get an individual post to link here.  :(  I will go change the title of this to official ooc and close it to new players as well. 

Actually, scratch that, I will put up a new ooc for this, and we can all post our accepted chars there hows that sound?

[lore]

You just click the 'Re: Thornwald Pharmaceutical/attendants and volunteers needed!!' above the post you want and copy what's in the address bar.

[Whispered Desire]

Got it. I'll start compiling them now into the OOC thread which can be found  here.

Thanks so much for your help Lore!! :)
