OPEN HUNT! 9/21/12

Yes Yes Yes! That's right darlings! Friday night is Open Hunt! Get your bows out of storage, check your strings, re-feather your arrows! We're back on down at The Village!

Now that The Village is back on the grid it's time to get back to the schedule, and back in the game. If you've never been to Open Hunt, well here's how it works. Preds, can become prey, and prey can become preds. It's kind of a topsy turvey type time, and it only lasts a night. But it is well worth the adventure. And there has been an update to it. It's now 48 hours long!

What does OPEN HUNT MEAN?

THE VILLAGE Slave Hunt™ is strictly gender oriented, dominant Men hunt submissive woman.

Twice a month we change that rule and open the strict gender themed roleplay, so: Everybody entering the sim between  the days and times of FRIDAY 6:30 PM SLT (Second Life Time) AND SUNDAY 6.30 PM SLT  (thats right... 48 hours) agrees to CHOOSE  to be prey OR predator. Just that simple!   *Stay in your current Group!! * Only your meter title needs to be changed!!  ☺

Example: do you play usually as a predator and want to be a prey? Do you usually play as a prey and want to be a Predator? Then follow these instructions during "Open Hunt weekend" and identify yourself by putting your preference into your meter title:

1. Choose the role you want to play. EVERYONE MUST add your choice to your meter title! Click THE VILLAGE Slave Hunt™ Meter Hud, choose "Set title", wait for the local chat to state " THE VILLAGE: The next line you say will become your title", then type into local chat ONE of these three titles:::

        A.  Prey, Men only
        B.  Non gender specific Prey (female prey ... male or female can hunt me)
        C.  Predator
       
**Reminder... we will never force anyone to play!  Example: If you are a male and don't want to run as a Prey... just put "Predator" for your meter title.*
       
2. CLOTHES FOR MEN: same rules as usual - be classy and wear some decent clothes, gorean clothes style is always a good choice.

3. CLOTHES FOR WOMAN : Panther clothes, silks, camisk, or naked.

4. TITLE CHANGES  in OOC or Safe Zone areas ONLY at any time as long as your meter is at 100% health. There will be No changing in the middle of a hunt.

5. WEAPONS: BOW OR ROCKS only (no guns - during open hunt, girls can use bows as well)

6. If there is a dispute you will bring it to the Guard, or kindly solve the issue as an adult between the two of you.

I Always Wanted To Do This...

Some of my fondest memories are of what we did up on that hill. Dance Party anyone? Thank you Rudi for sending this image our way, it brightened my day like you would never know.

I want to send out a hearty thank you to all of those that have sent me snapshots of The Village. I have been a bit busier than usual, and have full intentions of putting them into a musical slideshow. But In order to do that I need to convert them to the right file types. Between then and now though I will also try to post some of them into the blog in single shots or maybe in strings If I get courageous enough. Just be patient with me, it's a wee bit of work.

Still Missing The Village

It's been  a little over a month now. Many of us have been trying to find a location to call home. But none of us are having an easy time of it. Sure, there's some people who are arguing 'it's just a game, it shouldn't be bothering me so much' but  they're wrong. Why?

Well, some of us invested a lot of time getting to know the lay of the land (and yes you can take that both ways if you want). We worked at getting to know people, and came to feel as though the sim was our home. Which if you think about it, considering the amount of time many of us spent there it really was. Home is not only where you hang your coat and hat, it's where your heart feels fullest. Many of us felt that way there.

The sense of community was awesome. Maybe more so for us prey than for the preds. But I know I miss the fun banter and joking that used to happen in prey chat. There never really is anything that's as much fun as picking on the guards in prey chat. I mean really? Who didn't love poking at the guys in the girl infested waters of chat?

The Village's Last Day by Taboo (Vixenn Moonshadow)

In any case at this moment in time, I'm still looking for a place that still has the same kind of heart and sense of community. It isn't really as easy as some may have thought it would be. But maybe I'm spoiled. Maybe I just want too much. Or maybe... just maybe, I'm not going to find a place like The Village again.

But... there is one thing....we will always have the memories that we made on the sim. The friendships (some of them) aren't going anywhere. And I do know... that on the grid, there are still pods of us hoping and praying for a miracle.

not quite home yet,

Who's Hunting Now?

 

Just thought some of y'all could use a little pick me up. This video is sure to get you ready for your hunting this weekend, or running if that's what you choose to do.

Theory of a Deadman : The Bitch Came Back

I like her so much better when she's down on her knees

'Cause when she's in my face that's when I'm starting to see

That all my friends are laughing thinking that we belong

Well she's so fuckin' stupid that she's singing along

The trouble with girls is they're all the same

Forget the diamonds and pearls they just want a ring

Before you know it you're like a dog on a leash
Well you can try and change the world but you won't change me

Sim Review : Tank & Spank

Tank & Spank is a BDSM role play and capture sim. Tank&Spank is a term derived from old days of Taverns and huge tankards of Ale served by wenches and the joy men took in spanking those wenches. The idea of the sim is BDSM and D/s set in a rural medieval period. A time where men were strong and honor bound and those bound only by their own laws. The women were protected by some and ravaged by others.

The rules are very basic and a quick read. Women are wenches and men are Rogues. Mythical creatures can suddenly appear, and Honor and chivalry may clash in resulting duals. There would be a lot of lawlessness going on in this environment, and with this kind of role play the sim leaves peeps with all kinds of opportunities to grow in character. Wenches beware, the meter defaults at a full RP option, which means you are game to any Rogue that fancies you. But at Tank & Spank you can draw you bow on Him too! Any era weapon is game here, for men and for women.

 Wenches were often ruff and tough in those days. So be it here. There are areas of interest throughout the sim such as a dungeon, a Tavern, an ancient ruins and a ooc safe zone as well. Each area is equipped. RLV  users can find equipment about the sim that allow more control of those captives. Lets mention too the terrain is designed to allow any chase to take effort..

As for you Rogues, your skill with your weapon may be tested, but be assure, it is Men that will be the only winners in these capture games. Rogues take hold of their wenches with bindings and what happens next is your call. The stocks? make them serve you an Ale in a Tankard?...maybe take them to the ancient ruins and find out what spells are conjured.

The meter, built by the same maker of the Village meter with modifications that make role play easier without excessive interference of any staff. This meter features modes you can set that can be seen with just a sweep of you camera in any direction. Full RP= full capture and sexual play. Capture only=Just here for the chase, no rp. No Sexual RP= capture and roleplay with sexual restrictions honored.

One from the Past

 

This image was sent in by someone who was going through some of her older images. It's from a sim she visited back in 2007, though she isn't sure what the name of the location is. She only was able to provide a date because of the date of the image creation. For those that may have trouble reading the content of the image, it's a list of how to satisfy a lady.

Ten Commandments of a Ladies Pleasure

1.  Thou shalt observe the details of her desire.
2.  Thou shalt stimulate her senses.
3. Thou shalt compliment her meaningfully and often.
4. Thou shalt encourage her to show and tell how she likes to be touched.
5.  Thou shalt listen to her attentively.
6. Thou shalt make her laugh.
7. Thou shalt present her with gifts.
8. Thou shalt exude both confidence and vulnerability.
9. Thou shalt have foreplay.
10. Thou shalt discover what her dreams are made of.

Missing SZ

I have a tendency to read a few script excerpts now and then. And I found a rather interesting bit recently that made me smile. It made me think of a lot of good times. I bet some of you can agree that there was a lot of fun in just sitting by the fire in SZ snuggled up and chatting away in im. Sitting there for everyone to see while wandering in your own private events.



It was a social hub, but it was also a place to be playful and fun. I'm going to miss the nice comfy corners there, and the tavern windows where you could curl up with someone amongst the piles of pillows. There were plenty of little hidden corners to talk and snuggle and just enjoy each others company.

Tom: Doesn't mean anything to you anymore to sit in my lap, huh?
Gerry: No.
Tom: Or if I kiss you there?
Gerry: Stop it, no.
Tom: Or Here.
Gerry: It's nothing.
Tom: Or here.
Gerry: You know I'm ticklish.
Tom: Why's your breath coming fast?
Gerry: Because you're squeezing me!
Tom: Doesn't mean anything to you anymore, huh?
Gerry: Almost nothing.
Tom: Almost nothing, huh?

The Village Castle and More

Fire sent in some snapshots from a few locations on the Village sim. The first three you're going to see include one of her standing on the castle roof. The other two are similar in their content but they give you a glimpse over the rooftops and into the courtyard below. Many of you may have spent a lot of time running over the rooftops or down these corridors. So it is very pleasing to see them again.




Another shot shows her standing in front of the safe zone. In the background you can see the half sunken ship that hovered above one of the four entrances into the water chase.



The last shot shows the village buildings that were walled in. At the very far center The Onyx Ring Tavern can be seen, the windmill to the left in the picture. In the very left you can see a sliver of the building that called itself the wizards house when the doors were clicked. But it's the rooftops of the buildings in the picture that again, like the rooftops in the castle, were bounced over and around and through during the chase.



These pictures were sent in by Fire Stoanes.

Remember, you're more than welcome to send in images (you can even write and let me know who and what they are if you'd like, otherwise I'm going to be writing what I see and recognize in the pictures.) Naming the pictures helps in this as well since I will know who's in the pictures then. You can send them to Tiamet Resident or l0lafinizi Resident in world, or they can be emailed to thesasspack (at) gmail (dot) com.

Thank you for visiting! ~Tiamet~

The Village Burned

Saturday we saw the Village burn into SL oblivion and history. It is a tragedy, but we will never really lose the Village completely. I say this because we were all part of it. Which means even though the space itself is gone, we are not. There will always be a little bit of the Village left as long as someone remembers it.

 Some were able to watch the flames. But all discussed what was to come. What would be the next chapter. Things are rarely the same when brought back, and change is something that we all need to accept. That doesn't mean that we should desire change for the sake of change. But we can accept it and learn from the past as it is.

But we won't forget. We made friends here, we learned new things here. And what matters most is the memories we take away with us. So don't despair, it is never fully gone as along as we remember.

 

Tongue In Cheek Stuff

We all know that all village prey have a huge amount of SASS in one way or another...that's what makes us so damn irresistible! A good playful sense of humour is always present in the village...sometimes the quick witted jokes that pass between the pred & prey during social times has me in stitches...I myself have a very odd sense of humour, i think its part of being from the UK...some get me, some don't...but THIS post really made me laugh that i fell across in PoniEE's profile...she was kind enough to allow us to blog it & share with you guys, her take on dealing with preds! Enjoy ;)

(This is meant to be a JOKE, funny haha)

Hot to avoid a Predator:

1. Don't wear an AO, nobody wants a noob.

2. Wear something on your face so they cant see how good looking you really are.

3. Carry sharp objects, it means you are too dangerous for them.

4. Don't wear a cape of any kind, we are trying to hide your awesomeness, not make it shine like a rainbow.

5. Play dead often. Predators only want Fresh ass.

6. Respond to his RP with song lyrics or random facts, They don't like when you are smarter than they are.

7. Learn how to use your rock, and use it well. Men hate when you are a better aim then them.

8. Give them a time frame to capture you, if they can't do it in that amount of time ask them if they would rather submit to you.

9. Capture and Bind them first. Take them somewhere public and laugh hysterically at them and run away. 

10. If any of these don't work for you, hang out with Me and learn these tricks first hand.
