Comm Sweep

Membership of the communities has just been tidied up, and a large number of accounts have lost access. If you believe your account was removed by mistake, please comment here and let us know!

Ninja Down everyone, Ninja Down

I'm so sorry to have to do this, but I've found my CR pool narrowing more and more as my focus went places that weren't this game. I've only been holding on for a few of you, and let me tell you I adore that few, but that isn't fair to anyone else who might want to play with Juugo, and I'd rather not seem like a taunt.

Anyone who wants to contact me or stay friends is of course more than invited to do so, I'm not abandoning the internet. I loved playing here and the friendships I got out of it, so no regrets on that front. In fact, I have a musebox and I would welcome you all if you ere interested, just let me know.

For now though, I must do a thing, and wish you goodbye.

I also leave you with this message, this sign, which you will never see on an Ariel street:


Goodbye everyone, and thanks for all the kink!

Mod hiatuses continue

Greetings, Ariel!

As the next AC and apps round is almost upon us, please continue to be patient with your lone surviving mod.

We still have two of three mods on hiatus, and so we cannot be as quick as we'd like. Anything that requires a consensus will take longer than usual until we have multiple mods around to answer swiftly. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

(no subject)

Greetings, Ariel!

At the moment, two of your three head mods are on hiatus after reality decided to have a go at kicking their butts. Please be patient with us during the upcoming apps and AC round; we will be working as hard and fast as we can, but some slowness will probably be inevitable.

If you have concerns or questions you are always welcome to comment on the FAQ or Concerns posts, PM the mod account, or send us an e-mail. Please be aware there may be a short delay if anything needs a consensus of two or more mods.

Rules Clarification: Sock Accounts

tl;dr'ed out yet?

We have a rules clarification that has been brought to our attention regarding sock apps. The FAQ states that we allow sock accounts, and that will remain true, but we need to clarify that you may play in Ariel under one identity and one identity only at a time.

You may not apply under two different identities, and you may not play under two different identities.

If you wish to change identities, either publicly or privately after consulting with us, we have no issue with that and will allow it, but if we encounter a situation with a player using two identities to app or play, we reserve the right to remove the player from the game.

AC CHANGE - DECEMBER ONLY

To allow people to get through the end of the year holidays/finals/travel/weather/family/work with a little less stress, we're making a change to AC for the month of December only.

December's AC is gen only.


You will only need to turn in 10 gen comments for AC on our January 1st AC check post.

January's AC will return to our normal smut AC requirement. We'll include reminders about this change in our upcoming event info and December 1st AC check posts. Happy holidays in advance.

Note: The smut AC requirement still applies for November.

HMD meme

HMD


It's that time finally! Here's our How's My Driving? post. This sitewide meme will go up on the 20th of every month and it's encouraged that everyone post! Please post a list of your current in-game characters as a reference for other members to use for comments or critique.

Remember to keep it civil. Outright flaming will not be tolerated and we will deal with any hostile comments as soon as possible. Critique should be constructive. Offer ways a player can improve their characters, solve any problems you might have, etc. rather than just telling them they're horrible with no examples or pointers.

Likewise, this isn't a love meme. It's great to tell someone you think they're doing a good job or you love playing with them! Just give reasons for why you think they're awesome or what they're doing well. We're not discouraging positive comments. Love is great, but so is hearing why you are so you know what to keep doing.

Anon comments are enabled and IP logging is off for those who'd prefer a little anonymity, but please don't abuse this feature to be rude to other players.

If anything comes up, please visit the concerns page to let us know or contact us through any of the other various ways listed.

Test Drive Meme: The Overflow, Part Deux!


CITY OF ARIEL: THE TEST DRIVE
THE OVERFLOW, PART DEUX!


Since the last post is again fast approaching 3k comments and getting laggy for some of our players, we have decided to go ahead and stick up the overflow post, even though there's just a little over a week to game start.

Please continue your threads or start new ones here if you'd like. To make this easier on those continuing threads from the last meme, here's a handy form:



Please remember to let your thread partners know you've bumped your threads over here as well! We started the meme early to give you plenty of room to do just that.

◆◆◆◆


With the City of Ariel grand opening only a month away, we are holding our first ever test drive meme. Tag in and see how your character would settle in the game. You're a fresh face in the city, newly processed, and arriving at a bustling time. The city is expanding and you are greeted first in the re-education center by your helpful counselors and then directed out of the building to a large festival.

Be puzzled, make friends, have sex, or whatever you want! There are no restrictions on thread types played out here.
Your first awareness that something has gone wrong comes during a groggy moment of semi-lucidity when you look around yourself and find that -- instead of wherever you remember being last -- you're in a chair, in a room with a man you don't recognize. He's sitting behind a desk whistling to himself and sorting paperwork. The whole atmosphere might remind you of a high school guidance counselor's office, only with far more comfortable chairs.

When your head clears enough to speak and you ask him where you are, he smiles brightly and says, "Welcome to the City of Ariel."

You were brought to Ariel during a very special time! There's a large festival going on celebrating the new expansions to the city and everything is decked out for it. Everything is bustling and vibrant in the city today because of the celebrations. There are decorations up, food vendors set up all along the streets, kissing booths, games, and just about anything else you can imagine an event like this would have!

The people of Ariel are out and about as well, some are in vibrant costumes and others are just checking out the sights. Some of the more exhibitionist types are even having a little more fun out in public than you may be used to seeing back home.

As soon as the grogginess from your arrival passes, you are allowed to leave the re-education center and see it all for yourself. Upon exiting, you are even handed beads of various colors, several of each so you don't worry about running out.

Each color has a special meaning listed below:
pink - toys
blue - oral
yellow - watersports
green - age play
lavender - crossdressing
orange - multiples
grey - bondage
white - hands (mutual masturbation, fingering, handjob)
red - blood
black - wildcard

These are to aid you in making a connection with others. Show your interest in others and tell them exactly what you would like to do with them by sharing the beads.

If you would rather take a different approach, feel free to walk around the festival and see what (or who) catches your eye. The point is to relax and get settled in your new home.

TAG IN
- Post your character's name, canon, and preferences.
- Set up an opener in your comment or leave it blank.
- Tag around and have fun!

Please note that all CR in this meme can be carried over when the game starts between characters that are accepted into the game.

OOC Meet and Greet Post.

It was suggested to the mods that an OOC post might be helpful for players to get to know one another and maybe chat with others who are still considering whether or not to apply to the City of Ariel. We don't want to do anything too overly structured, since we want people to just have fun with this. Get to know one another. Maybe discuss kinks and story lines they'd like to try out in this game once it opens.

Feel free to just post your name and character's name to get started or, if you'd prefer something more formatted, try the form below. Enjoy!
