As many of you noticed, we now have a sub-room, entitled Behind Closed Doors. I intended this room to serve a dual purpose. First, it allows for open scening of characters' sexual exploits. We've long had a rule against open scening in the room. With the sub room, open scening can occur in there. The second purpose is to allow for meetings that the general populace isn't privy to. For example, meetings held in a closed Elysium, Werewolf moots held away from the public eye, clandestined planning and the like.
In keeping with these two themes, I'd like suggestions for pulldowns that are appropiate for either or both of those purposes. If you have an idea for a location, suggest it and if there's room, I'll put it in.
I also wanted to stress one rule regarding the sub-room. Due to its nature, OOC comments are not acceptable in there. You can greet people, but there's a certain amount of joking we tollerate in the main room. Since the people in the sub-room are either scening sex or serious meetings, I want to make sure that no one's spoiling the mood for them. If you're in to watch, great, but keep the jokes for the open room. Thanks

i think also of yer in there say scening and somone comes in to watch or having a meetng and somones in there to watch unless they are a direct part of the meeting or sceen that if they use the information in anyway ic there should be something handed to them in a way of crossing information .
Call me a paranoid old bird (i did run a room for 8 years and on a second room)but i have had people in the past as a room owner ask me to void rps they were not even part of . some wanted me to void rps they were involved in becuase it was found out later on opps this could cause trouble if someone reads it. because somone had read it flipped out ooc on said person and then theyre all looking to void things.
this is just my experience. it in no way reflects CBN and if need be ill bold and capatolize that so people realise i am not suggesting nor poking at anyone in particular. if i looked hard enough could probally get you the sbn scripts of such crazieness.
anyways i think we need to maintain a high level of maturity to use the sub room for whats its to be used for. if you go in the room and read back posts and use that ic against somone cause yer man may have been in there with some woman or something and you rp spys knowing and telling you .I dont think that can be done.or should be allowed.
I guess what I am trying to say is if you are not directly part of the meeting or part of the scene i will ignore the fact you know what was goin on in my scene if you were not directly in the room or if yer "spy" was not directly in the pd i am in to rp.
example in case im confusing cause i can be a lot .
Katanya and hmm lets pick someone for an instance...alex larkin that works ..decide to go into the behind closed doors room we are plotting to take over the city in a pulldown ...im gonna use juliya say gets curious seeing them in the room comes in and sees the plot and then goes running to eric .. i epect juliya to get a what for because shes not part of the plot and shes not part of the plan and she wasnt even in the same room as kat and alex.
or if juliya came in for whatever reason and seen adri and eric goin for a romp in the marital bed . shes not gonna go back to the main room and be angered or jellous with any of them nor is she gonna go back and say to say i dunno hmm anyone whom may like her .. and say oh shed in there with eric and cause problems beteen any characters.
I am a person (and i cant prove(provide scripts) it but i have been told its been done already) whom my rp has already been taken to others in other homes. and already im laughing my butt off as people have commented on things they assume is going on when there not going on and im having fun laughing my rear end off at the assumptions.
but bottom line people if your not in my pd directly in knowledge of whats going on. dont post like you know because ill be the first to provide scripting that it ooc knowledge taken ic and i will ignore yer rp of knowing that particular knowledge and i will be kind enough to say in open that you dont know that ic and have you change the rp.
What can i say i been burned and used and walked over so meny times i know alll the tricks now.
Be creative if yer gonna bring in a spy then bring them into a metting in way thoes of the meeting can interact with them . Kat and alex are meeting and plotting Juliya is behind the tree one sniffs juliya out and give chase juliya runs and maybe she gets awayu with the info maybe she doesnt but ita all in the rp of how to do it ..RP IT OUT dont just run saying oh my spy told me and have no proof of said rp cause that in itself is well just sad rp.

That's all true. The use of information your character doesn't know is the primary way to kill the fun for everyone. People get discouraged from RPing certain things or even talking freely if someone who isn't part of the scene uses that information freely. Another example of this is one-posting yourself into a conversation at an awkward juncture to prevent someone from reacting to your presence. That holds true for the main room as well. Unless your character has eerie powers or Batman ninja training, observant people generally see you coming and should have the chance to stop talking before the conversation reaches your ears.
Right now I'm more interested in getting suggestions for what PDs people would like to see in the sub-room, either for meetings or for sexual romps or both. Part of the reason I wanted this room was to prevent people having their RP disrupted by OOC and prevent an RP at a private location from disrupting the flow of RP in the main room. The other reason was to provide people with a place that they could go to open scene sex. Several of our members and/or characters are kinky enough to try sex with more than one other person at a time. Since PM is either one person or everyone, it can get tedious to try to RP that logistically. Messenger services can be used to a certain extent, but the limit on message length in most IMs create tedium of their own. Thus I decided to opt for a sub-room.
