Let's use PG LOVE role play only to protect kids from cyber abuse.

It began with our family's shock at a NWN game site's rules encouraging covert cybering. After we tried to dicuss this on AmiaWorld forum, DMs not only banned our players but vindictively punished our son, a completely innocent bystander, causing him great mental pain and confusion. Since we can't go there any more, won't YOU please help us make Amia safe for children to play in? (Philosophical discussion is also linked.)

Honey Brewer's Romantic Adventures...

Honey Brewer got lucky as you might have expected; however, in keeping with our self-imposed PG rating, it will no longer be possible to post a link to the unedited chat log, which contain some very personal, private parts. Here's a couple of short excerpts showing where we're headed:

(Honey meets Susius, a handsome hero, who helps her in the forest, then later in town invites her for drinks, a bath and bed together.)

Honey Brewer: What do you suggest, Susius? *Looks at him expectantly* You seem familiar with the local customs more than I am...
Susius Fireshell: Well, i suggest you take a shower, and buy some new cloth by the local customs like i did. Follow me.
Honey Brewer: O.k. Lead on then...
Susius Fireshell: The baths are here. Hope you have a swim suit...?
Honey Brewer: Yes. These are baths... Hmm... No. Have you?
Susius Fireshell: No....
Honey Brewer: Well, we do have our birthday suits, ne?
Susius Fireshell: *grins* We always do.
Honey Brewer: Those usually work. *Smiles, Disrobes, and Sits in the water*
Susius Fireshell: *He takes off his cloth*
Honey Brewer: Ah. This feels nice! Well, Susius. *Grins* You look cute in your birthday suit.
Susius Fireshell: I could say the same about you *winks*.

(Later...)

Honey Brewer: Somehow, though, I could feel that your heart holds no harm for me in it... *Smiles trustfully at him*
Susius Fireshell: *He smiles back*
Honey Brewer: Let's go then?
Susius Fireshell: Let us check for rooms. Upstairs.
Honey Brewer: ok
Susius Fireshell: Locked.
Honey Brewer: It needs a key.
Susius Fireshell: *Sigh* It needs a key.
Honey Brewer: I can open some locks, but not that one.
Susius Fireshell: Skillful, are you? *he grins*.
Honey Brewer: Well, I'm a roguette. Who has the key?
Susius Fireshell: Well, let's check. Hmm... what is this? Let see, which one is mine.. Oh, here we go. *mutters* And i paid some real money to afford it...
Honey Brewer: *Locks door from inside with lever* No skill needed here. *Smiles* Oh? You paid for this room?
Susius Fireshell: Of course, they don't give anything for free!
Honey Brewer: Hmm...? Torture equipment?
Susius Fireshell: Well, this is the bath *he points* And that's some... yes... Torture equipment. I guess it's for the more creative guests.
Honey Brewer: Bath sounds nicer..
Susius Fireshell: And that's the bed.
Honey Brewer: *Disrobes, and Sits in the bath*
Susius Fireshell: *He takes his cloth off*
Honey Brewer: This water is a bit cooler... *Shivers* Warm me up?
Susius Fireshell: *he smiles* There you go, sit in here.
Honey Brewer: *Tries to Sit in his lap facing him, but finds: "This function only works for lap-enabled seats," so Sits in the water beside him*
Susius Fireshell: *he gets closer to her and puts his arm around here*
Honey Brewer: Susius? *Hugs him*
Susius Fireshell: Feeling warmer? *smiles*
Honey Brewer: *Happy smile* Yes. That's nice, Susius. I like this much better than torture...

(Then they move to the bed for off-camera, adult activities. - The kind where she says, "I want to have your baby," and tries to get impregnated by Susius.)

Flirting on social servers: Roim is not a willing slave.

The following is a short proofread excerpt from this unedited chat log:

 Roim Llefire: Which town do you prefer?
 Asha.: Your hair fits you well, but maybe a new dress is in order.... I mostly go to Almariah, but Eland is nice, too.
 Roim Llefire: Well, I haven't really tried Almariah yet. Yes. I thought I should buy a more suitable robe for fighting and nice dress for around town, too.
 Asha.: Salacious is nice to, but a bit deserted mostly.
 Roim Llefire: Really, I haven't been many places.. or had the funds for much shopping. Salacious? What's there? The name sounds, well, salacious. *Laughs*
 Asha.: *Chuckles softly* Well, it's an independent island that holds slaves and stuff... basically you're free to do whatever you wish there as long as you give no one else troubles. Nice place to bring a boyfriend, or girlfriend, of course, if you're into that.
 Roim Llefire: *Nods* Yes. I remember a shady character in the doorway, perhaps his name was "Tattoo"? Gave me some advice, for a small price, about not getting "locked up" there.
 Asha.: *Nods* But you got nothing to worry about if you're on the island. It's forbidden to take slaves by force there.
 Roim Llefire: Ah, if you take them by force, they're not "slaves" but captives?
 Asha.: Hmm... you can have slaves by force too, but for some reason a lot of people, mostly girls, want to be a slave themselves, so no reason to take them by force.
 Roim Llefire: Hmm... I saw a very strange sight in the courtyard of a temple. There was a collection of handcuffs for being locked up ... Then only freed by another... Well, to me freedom is a precious value, Asha. Not something to throw away by choice. *Nods* Don't you think so?
 Asha.: *Nods* Those are for the slaves, although they aren't much in use. Getting locked up can be exiting, you know, but I never feel the need of doing that in public, rather with someone i like to be with, and then only for a little while... Nobody is going to enslave me, nu-uh.
 Roim Llefire: Well, in my own family I had an aunt who was often chained up and beaten by her husband, so I hate that behavior. Funny thing is both were doctors! *Shakes head* 
 Asha.: *Smiles* It should be on your own choice, of course, but maybe if you try it someday, you will like it as well... Can't tell for sure until you try, no?
 Roim Llefire: *Smiles* Some feelings we have from our early childhood, isn't it? My father used to tie me up sometimes as a punishment, so that left a mark on me, too.
 Asha.: And well, I, too, don't like being beaten up. I'm more of the tickling type. *laughs*
 Roim Llefire: I'll tell you another strange story, too, Asha, if you have a moment...
 Asha.: Sure.
 Roim Llefire: *Laughs with Asha.*
 Asha.: *Looks around* Or we could sit a bit more comfortable in town.
 Roim Llefire: My own lover sometimes asks me to tie him up, but I always refuse because of the personal history I just told you about. *Grins* Sorry, for him, but some things I just won't do even to please my lover.
 Asha.: Well, you don't know what you're missing, but it's your own decision on how far you want to go, I'd say.

Perhaps next time Roim will return as more docile girl, "Honey Brewer," or a dominant guy, "Randy Tailor" and play those roles... Whatever do you think might happen then, dear readers?

Blogger Image Test




This is just a test of the new system for posting images.

This sure is cool. Too bad the images I have in this folder are so lame.

Wait a sec. There are a couple of dancing images. Let's try those.



Maybe one of the bears can dance, too? Hmm... except for the layout, that works pretty well.

Got to go now. Have a nice day. :)

More on "behavior in online games, social norms and the possibility of virutal atrocities"...

Well this seems to be a question dating back to at least 1998.  Isn't anyone else concerned about this now-a-days?

I've got to go to bed now 'cuz it's nearly five a.m., and I have to work at nine, but I'll post more tonight.
