I don't plan on any long-term pairing off because it may be nice to share things around but I'm up for an early scene or two with anyone.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I have no objections to people pairing up, but it would be much more fun to share the subbies around. Be warned though, that Hai and I have been discussing certain aspects of the technology available.... This is in extreme, after all!<br/><br/>If you want to discuss relationships, now would be a good time to start. I have no problem with new arrivals simply waiting to see, but that does require you to take an active part once the game starts, or your girl will just sit there.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=173959.msg8232309#msg8232309">Quote from: BeckyAnnn on 16-05-2013, 01:12:08</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">OK, I am seriously stupid.  When you first mentioned the ponies, Chrystal, I thought you were talking about REAL ponies and I was thinking about how they would be kept warm and imagining latex covered ponies.    8-)<br/><br/>I also see one of my questions answered above, the question being "How does a new arrival find an unclaimed cube since I am assuming they will all look exactly the same?"<br/><br/>From a the looks of the post/s above the newbie won't have to worry about that.<br/><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>New arrivals go into the communal "stable" block unless they are told to join an existing inmate. If the new arrival is a D she is welcome to try her luck at ousting an existing inmate from her cube. This will always result in a fight!<br/><br/>There are NO unoccupied cubes. When someone dies, their cube is usually taken by either the longest serving or most dominant inmate in the stable.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=173959.msg8235513#msg8235513">Quote from: BeckyAnnn on 16-05-2013, 16:09:02</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I would think that unless everything  is self cleaning that there would be at least a minimal support staff.

Most things are actually automated and self cleaning though. If something breaks, the AI detects it and summons a repair team, which usually gets there within a week.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=173959.msg8236530#msg8236530">Quote from: piece on 16-05-2013, 20:26:50</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I literally just noticed that the tag section had Harrin and Syndel comparing tails. Oh my...<br/><br/>I am curious how hygiene will be dealt with it the suits aren't removable.<br/><br/>I also figured that most of the other things, like cleaning lavatories, kitchens, and even the dispensation of food, would be far more automated than anything requiring operator input. Maybe throwing bags of nutrients into a pot for the sake of warm, bland food. It would make more sense for the Empire to provide perfectly balanced nutrition for the prisoners, without the extra expense of making it all taste wonderful.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Actually they are comparing who's tail goes in furthest...  into what I didn't say. That was, however, just for the sake of titillation and as an example. (Not to say I'm not open to the possibility).<br/><br/>The suits are smart suits. They are capable of allowing soap and hot water to pass through their structure, and then automatically drying the wearer off. This function is triggered on entering the shower block.<br/><br/>I already mentioned that food is basic blocks of frozen nutrition that can be kept frozen by leaving them in a storage compartment. They are automatically microwaved to edibility and dispensed to the inmate on a biodegradable dish, with a biodegradable spoon. If your shift exceeds quota, additional rations and/or sauces will be dispensed. If your shift is below quota, reduced size rations will be dispensed.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Ruling regarding arrival posts:<br/><br/>I will post that the shuttle lands and the inmates are ejected from it.<br/><br/>It is then down to the individual player how much or how little of what I post they choose to respond to, as long as they take their post forward from the point at which the door opens for them to step out onto the surface.<br/><br/>NOTE: None of the inmates will see each other until they get off the shuttle! So far as they know they are the only one on it.
