to be a bit more on the relaxed and <del>smutty</del> casual side.  It's not intended to be something to be stressed about, but rather, like for your characters, a place to unwind, relax, and write something to your heart's content with like-minded individuals.<br/><br/>Set in the Caribbean, this group is centered around the guests and workers of a hedonistic resort.  It's geared towards those that need to get away from the mundanity and stresses that often come with life.  It's a place where the guests can come, relax, and be their true selves before going back to the real world beyond the island life.<br/><br/>Writers can play up to two characters, and can be guests or workers.  A small approval process is required, just to ensure cohesion, but with it's relaxed pace, there's nothing stringent about the process.  There are a few things to keep in mind, however, when creating a character...</span><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">All characters must be over eighteen.  This is non-negotiable, and is in place for the comfort of all writers who might be interested.</span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">With the above, it should be noted that all guests and employees must be eighteen years or older, whether they're characters or background NPCs.</span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">If your character is an employee, they are expected to undergo a background check.  Prior incidents as minors may be forgiven on a case-by-case basis, but will be reviewed.</span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">The safety and comfort of the guests is paramount.  Any guest or employee found to be trying to intimidate, force themselves upon, coeirce, etc. will immediately be banished from the resort (and by extension, the game as well).</span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">While this is a hedonistic resort, the laws of the local government applies.  This means rape, bestiality, and the like are not allowed.  </span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">When thinking of characters, think of the real world and it's societal norms.  Please try to stay away from incestuous character pairings, or if you do, please keep it private from the public.</span></li></ul><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Resort

Standard Guest Rooms are single rooms, and are found in the main building of the room.  These are generally popular among those trying to save a little bit of money in their travels.  The Deluxe Suites are a little more luxurious, and a little more pricey than the Standard Guest Rooms.  These are the sizes of small apartments, and offer wide decks.  Beyond the main building are the Cabanas, that are, while a little pricey, offer quite a bit more privacy.  The Standard Cabanas are one bedroom and smaller, and the Deluxe Rooms are larger.  Each cabana comes with it's own outdoor hot tub.<br/><br/>Employees have the option of staying in one of the small residences near the front of the resort.  These are generally no-frills, but come with a kitchen.  Employees can double up with roommates/significant others, or opt for a little more privacy.<br/><br/>In terms of dining, there are a few options.  The Lanai is a pool bar that is popular among the guests, and often provides entertainment on most nights in the form of live music and the occasional stand-up comic.  New Day Cafe is a small, open-air breakfast bar located right on the beach.  The Blue Lagoon is a popular restaurant offering a variety of foods at decent prices, while the Sunset Lounge is the epitome of fine dining on the island.<br/><br/>There are plenty of ways to pass the time and unwind at the resort.  An expansive beach, with white sands and turquoise waters are the natural attraction at the resort, while a few minutes walk along the beach brings a private lagoon that's popular among the nudists of the resort.  Alternatively, the Lagoon Pool is open every day and every night.  The Ocean Spa is open 7-7 every day, offering massages, yoga, as well as a sauna beneath the establishment.</span><br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Character Sheet

style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Where is the group going to be placed on Elliquiy?</strong><br/>Bondage Human Small Groups.  This is to provide ample room for writers to explore and write to their heart's content.<br/><br/><strong>Where is the group set in the story?</strong><br/>A small island in the Caribbean that's privately owned.<br/><br/><strong>How do my characters get to the island?</strong><br/>Characters can get to the island in a few ways.  The island is equipped with it's own private airstrip and heliport for those who wish to fly in directly to the island.  Otherwise, the majority of guests and supplies arrive via ferry from the main island that's purposefully vague because I haven't figured out what big island yet.<br/><br/><strong>You mentioned something about clothing optional?</strong><br/>There are places in the resort that are clothing optional.  The beach, the pool, the pool bar, the spa, etc.  Those public places are clothing optional.  Places like the restaurants require some sort of clothing for the comfort and satisfaction of the patrons.<br/><br/><strong>What jobs are available at the resort?</strong><br/>Administrative jobs would take place in, say, the lobby and deal with mostly checking in guests, concierge work, office work, etc.  Security is always looking for people to help patrol the beaches (i.e. life guards) and roaming the resort to ensure safety and comfort of guests.  Hospitality deals with the cleaning and maintaining of rooms, restaurants, etc, while Food Services help to prepare and serve guests food at the various establishments.  Specialty Services deals with the services provided to guests (i.e. spa treatments, yoga, etc.).  Finally, the Technical Crew deals with the maintaining of utilities and the like.</span><br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions</strong></span></span></div><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">1.  <strong>Real life comes first!</strong>  I never want you to feel pressured to have a post in on a certain time schedule.  This is, after all, a casual and relaxed group.  Post what you want when you can.<br/>2.  <strong>Please use the correct tags/warnings when it comes to post heading.</strong>  I'm more than alright if you want to have fun with them, jokes and whatnot.  I do it all the time myself.  For the sake of those who may be squeamish with certain kinks, however, please make note of kinks and content.<br/>3.  <strong>Don't force people to post.</strong>  As stated previously, this group is supposed to be relaxed and enjoyable.  Have a little bit of patience.  <br/>4.  <strong>Leave the drama at the door.</strong>  If you can't handle being in a group with someone, or have issues with someone, then it might be for the best that you not join.  I will not outright deny people for such matters.<br/>5.  <strong>Time is fluid in this game</strong>, so don't feel the pressure to try and keep yourself to one scene.<br/>6.  <strong>Please be respectful of others.</strong>  Don't godmod.  It's rude and impolite.  <br/>7.  <strong>Face Claims are strongly recommended and should be respected.</strong>  Pending face claims will be held for ten days after a claim is made.  After the ten day window, if no sheet has been submitted, or a PM sent to GM(s) asking for an extension, the pending claim will be removed and opened back up.</span><br/>
