				I'd like to make two suggestions. Please could we all use images of real people and not anime/cartoons? I find the use of anime images gives such a different feel to a game; unless its an unreal setting (that is a cartoon style game) the anime images don't work for me. Sorry.<br><br>I would also like to suggest that so far since only Zorak is playing a male character that you, King, play a male too. As I said in the players wanted thread I do not think we are going to get any male-playing-male interest in this specifically because of the M/M factor and I get a special buzz out of seeing male players as male characters in M/M situations. If we have only two male players I think its fairer if they both play male characters.

				i do adore futa / hermaphrodite themes (hermaphrotism is common in my family).<br><br>I am happy to play a female or a male or a hermaphrodite. I do have what others call perverted interests though (the idea of a male dog as a member does interest me) but i am not sure i am refined enough to be everyones cup of tea for this theme (pm me otherwise though)

				oh most definitely!<br><br>I'll add that to the rules.&nbsp; <br><br>Sorry Kate the dog is out :)&nbsp; but we would love to have you play a male character if you would be willing :)&nbsp; Or even more of a twist would be a hermaphrodite who everyone thinks is a woman and the secret is revealed through the game that its otherwise *smiles*&nbsp; that could be very interesting. <br><br>

My apologies but I'm just not comfortable enough with it, especially with players who are strangers. Some people I know quite well who do it I can handle. Once again, my apologies over this, its a mental block issue of mine. Please don't criticise me over it, or tell me its not this or that...&nbsp; I've been through it all before.<br><br>We only have 5 players so far don't we? I think we need more.

				haibane, as much as I would love to have you in this game, cross gendered players are going to be welcome. <br><br>The whole emphasis is on being open minded.&nbsp; That includes cross genders, tvts, and hermaphrodites.&nbsp; I am sorry that you wouldn't feel comfortable joining us in this scenario.&nbsp; &nbsp;I am sorry you have had bad experiences in the past with cross gender players.&nbsp; I have the utmost respect for your opinion and will not judge that. <br><br>I, however, have the utmost respect and confidence in King's ability to play cross gender characters.&nbsp; I have been rping with him and know his reactions and that he is able to do it very well.&nbsp; He is the co-owner/host of the game and I support his decision to play a female character. <br><br>Not only that but I support kates decision to play either male or hermaphrodite character.&nbsp; I am all for experimentation and expanding horizons.&nbsp; again, I am sorry that you don't feel comfortable in joining us and I wish you did. <br>I will though thank you for your interest in the game and will be sorry to see you go if you feel you have to.

				I'll see. I am in a game right now where guys are playing girls and, well, lets just say that "I'm putting up with it" but its a group game where my character doesn't necessarily have to actually play a sexual scene opposite these other characters, while this game requires that I will... and I simply don't think I'm ready for that.

				Just a couple of thoughts - and maybe because I'm not certain yet exactly how this is supposed to work..<br><br>Before the "action" starts, will there be a period of time for everyone to arrive and get to know each-other?&nbsp; Like maybe, a 24 hour waiting period for all of the STD tests to clear?&nbsp; &nbsp;O:) <br><br>Also... If it's my character's turn, and he rolls the dice only for it to come up with his own name, would that require a display of masturbation?<br><br>Inquiring minds want to know...<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; - Z

				Welcome misery :)&nbsp; love your chara&nbsp; Welcome Zorak :)&nbsp; Love your chara as well <br><br>As far as the period of time for everyone to arrive, of course :)&nbsp; time for us to get used to each other and feel out the charas for people who haven't flushed them out quite a lot.&nbsp; LOL nice... (std tests)<br><br>If your chara rolls the dice and it comes up his own name, if the action is possible on himself then the action is done...if not he re-rolls the person dice :)<br><br>Can't wait for your chara Akina :)
