@ Vin - That's quite a useful layout... though having to keep it up to date would be more work. That list is used in three places remember and right now I can update one of them then copy/paste the update to the other two. The three lists perform different functions depending on where they are (one is here, one is in the characters thread and one is in the players wanted thread where its used to show prospective players how active the game is).<br/><br/>While your idea is a good one it will add to my workload and right now I'm trying to do the opposite. This game has completely taken up ALL my time on E in the last 2 weeks and I need to be stepping back from it now and letting it run so I can play in my other games too.<br/><br/>The link data is also held in the characters bios so its duplicating information.<br/><br/>I am also confident that within a few days/posts players will become more than familiar with everyone's characters and the need for such a layout will reduce.<br/><br/>Thank you for the idea though!<br/><br/>I haven't yet decided how much I want to bring pony stuff into the game. Organising competitions and such is a lot of work because it would mean everybody would be required to write up about numerous NPC characters in the events. You can't have a gymkhana where only two ponies are on show! I will probably take the easy route and not do those things and in fact Nereza's stables and club isn't really geared to competitive events. Individuals in the club might run impromptu races in the streets and such which could easily be done but I'm not sure I'd be up for bigger organised events!<br/><br/>I am planning a scene between Nereza and Reyes in the casino now and it would be preferred if another character didn't butt in. I'd rather things were realistically paced and a stranger met her another day. We can easily time skip forwards a day or two at frequent intervals to fit in more meetings in a realistic flow of time rather than the contrived instances of everyone meeting everyone all at once (a pet peeve of mine in badly organised RPs!)<br/><br/>@ Everyone - For everyone's information I did mention that a slave is valued in line with a small-to medium sized family car. While car prices vary across the globe I'm using Britain as a basis so I would put this at around Eu15,000 to Eu20,000. Top-range models at Eu30,000. Ugly/plain/old/gross slaves are like second hand cars and can sell for as little as Eu5,000 and eventually their value drops to almost nothing! For a slave to be valued above 30k she would have to be exceptional in either beauty or skills or fame in a previous life. If a famous Free Woman such as a dancer, actress (porn actress?) or pop star ever became enslaved we'd be talking easily a six-figure price and these women would take on the stature that fine works of art do today in our world, commanding huge prices at auction due to their rarity.<br/><br/>I think for reasons of cost many men would not sell their wives and daughters so we'd see a very changed family unit demographic going on in the world. I also tend to think that (unlike the world depicted by Erenisch in the comics where every single guy was a perverted evil sadist) most men are actually decent people and the lives of most slaves within family units would be unremarkable, but with the male reasserting his authority that has been gradually eroded away in our world in the last 50 years. I think there would be a high rate of father-daughter incest where most males give up the fight of looking at their pretty daughters in a sexual way and resisting because society says its wrong. I think the amount of women being bought and sold would actually be much lower than we'd think hence the high value placed on running the risks of illegal imports such as Chrystal's character does.<br/><br/>The more I let my mind wander along various paths in such a society the more interesting and curious things I find!
