During your weekend here, in sunny Geneva, I trust you will learn to enjoy this most exotic of activities.<br/><br/>"Before we go on, I must ask: Is anyone here expecting to be taught how to water ski, scuba dive, sail, wind-surf, ride a jet ski, drive a power boat or anything of that nature? Ah, there's always at least one... Well, I do hope you won't be too disappointed when I say that this centre is not, in fact, about<em>that</em>type of water sports. Let me say that you have paid good money to be here, your rooms are booked for the weekend, your flights home aren't until Monday morning, so you might as well stay and at least try what we do have to offer..."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Okay, I'll save the rest of that for the IC thread.<br/><br/>Welcome everyone.<br/><br/>Just so it is TOTALLY clear and there are no misunderstandings, we are talking about urine, pee, piss, wizz, or whatever other euphemism you care to use.<br/><br/>Students are here to learn about the joys of playing in golden water, staff are here to teach and demonstrate those pleasures.<br/><br/>As I mentioned in the interest check thread, there are several levels of water sports play.<br/><br/>At the most basic, it involves pissing in inappropriate places, either in private or in public, wetting yourself, playing with your own pee. Pissing on yourself is probably the next step up, either unclothed or clothed.<br/><br/>Urination control also comes in to water sports. A D denying a S permission to relieve her/him self, possibly until it is too late and the S can no longer hold it in, resulting in wetting. Urination control can be self inflicted too... Sitting at the computer drinking lots of liquids and deliberately not getting up to relieve yourself in spite of the increasingly painful pressure in your bladder, for example...! *Blush*<br/><br/>Being pissed on by someone else is the more usual form of sexual water sports. (Everything above could almost come under the heading of masturbation). Again, this can be naked or clothed. Commonly referred to as Golden Showers.<br/><br/>Wearing of piss-soaked clothes is another aspect, either your own or someone else's urine.<br/><br/>Mutual pissing, possibly during other sexual activity, is another common expression.<br/><br/>Two<em>sub-genres</em>are diaper play and catheterisation. The first involves adults wearing nappies (diapers to the Yanks) and pissing freely into them, whenever they get the urge. The second is a medical procedure, involving the insertion of a urethral catheter into the bladder. This effectively removes your control forcing you to piss constantly. In a D/S relationship, the D might clamp off the end of the catheter, thus taking control of when the S urinates.<br/><br/>Finally, we have the part that most people get squicked out about - pissing in the face, tasting piss, filling the mouth, and ultimately, drinking piss.<br/><br/>The last is not recommended on a regular basis, because the stuff is not exactly good for you! It contains a large amount of salt, together with poisons such as uric acid which the body is trying to get rid of, so continuously re-ingesting them can screw up your metabolism! (I know, I tried it a few times, and it made my tummy feel yuck).<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Now we've got that cleared up, on to the setting:<br/><br/>We are on the banks of beautiful lake Geneva, in Switzerland. Why? Because I think that having the centre in a neutral country like Switzerland will encourage characters to push their limits without worrying, and because I like Switzerland. Also, the age limit for drinking isn't ridiculously high in Europe!<br/><br/>The time-line, I guess I'm being ambitious here. We will start on Friday afternoon and finish on Monday morning (if anyone is still playing and the universe has not ended in the meantime...) If you don't know what I mean by that, you obviously haven't done many group games. One hour of game time can take anything up to six months of real time, depending on player posting frequencies, post lengths, post details, and how strict the GM is! I will try to keep things moving, and will skip the action forward when I feel appropriate.<br/><br/>There actually are "normal" water sports facilities - sailing boats, jet skis, kayaks, wind surf boards and the like, available for hire, but no instruction is given in their use. Sorry, but that's not why you're here. They are available for characters to use<em>after</em>the day's training sessions have finished, and this basically means in the blank periods that I will shift the time line across. In other words, you don't get to rp using them, but you do get to chat about it at breakfast the next morning...!<br/><br/>All beds in the centre have plastic sheets by default and cloth sheets are provided as well if required, one set only for the entire weekend. They are also all equipped with padded cuffs for wrists and ankles. The rooms do not have private bathrooms and there are no locks on the doors.<br/><br/>There are no urinals, and the toilets are for the passing of faeces only. The bathrooms do not have cubicles and they are unisex. All floors in the centre are tiled in cool bathroom floor tiles, except the soft room. All furniture, except in the soft room, is made of plastic and metal, and all electrical sockets are five feet up the walls, double insulated and earthed. Electrical equipment is all waterproofed.<br/><br/>Three meals are provided on Saturday and Sunday. On Friday, dinner only is provided, and on Monday, breakfast only.<br/><br/>Bottles of drinking water, still, sparkling and flavoured, are available at all times and in fact if a student is not seen to be drinking enough, they are likely to be told off. Coke, Sprite and Fanta are also available free of charge, as are tea and coffee. From 9:00pm until 1:00am there is a bar open which serves alcohol, but this is not included in the price of your weekend. Note, drinking alcohol and/or caffeinated drinks should be kept to a minimum as they can cause dehydration.<br/><br/>The entire centre is on one floor. Staff rooms are off the same corridor as student rooms, but have locks on the doors. Staff beds have cloth sheets with plastic ones available, the opposite of student beds.<br/><br/>Rooms are allocated and identified by name cards placed in holders. Students may share rooms if they wish, either with each other or with a staff member if the staff member is agreeable. Staff members are not expected to sleep with each other.<br/><br/>Will edit anything else in as and when I think of it.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Now onto the Admin-type bit.<br/><br/>Every game has to have rules of play or it becomes chaos. These are mine, for this game.<br/><br/>1) This game is in extreme due to the content ONLY. The game itself is<span class="bbc_u"><strong>100% CONSENSUAL!</strong></span>No character may force another character to do anything they do not wish to do. Student characters will be given a set of safety words, which (ironically) will be any piece of normal water sport equipment. If a student says "Surfboard" or "water ski" or something of that sort, the instructor is to stop what they are doing and enquire if the student is okay.<br/><br/>2) If mutually agreed PUBLICLY in this thread between players, two characters may go beyond the normal limits of consensual acts. However I will point out that "Non-Consensual" applies to the CHARACTER and NOT the PLAYER! Also, how far you go beyond that limit should be no further that the D ignoring the S's use of a safety word, once only, or going beyond the agreed limits of a session up to the point the S uses the safe word. All in all I would rather this did not happen, but I don't want to limit people's enjoyment.<br/><br/>3) The GM's word is law. I will not be draconian, but if I ask you to change a post it will be for a very good reason.<br/><br/>4) I have requested that people state in their character profiles whether they are okay with cross-gender characters. If a player is not, and you are cross gender, I would ask you to respect that.<br/><br/>5) The most important rule of all... HAVE FUN!<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Practical issues - assuming enough people actually post here to make it worth while:<br/><br/>I'm considering only using a single game thread, because there are not enough of us to make using more practical.<br/><br/>This means that Everyone, Without exception MUST head each post in that thread with their character name and where that character is, possibly with a brief description of what they are doing. This must be<strong>Bold</strong>, and preferably in a different colour.<br/><br/>This is standard practice for games of this type. and helps to keep the continuity together. Also if you are replying to a post that is a few posts before yours - i.e. there is one or more intervening posts, please quote the post you are responding to at the start of your post.<br/><br/>Other than this, there is no posting order. Post when you feel it is appropriate for your character to respond to something and/or when you are able. On the other hand, please try not to hog the thread. If you have posted back and forth three or four times, unless your scene is about to conclude and/or it had no baring on any other scene, I would ask you to pause posting and wait until someone else has had the chance to post!<br/><br/>Thanks<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Links to other threads:</strong><br/><br/>Interest check thread (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=120307.0)<br/>Character Thread<br/>Game thread(s) (Exact number too be decided)
