  1. I think I understand; likewise my invisioning is pretty hard to explain; and by the way thank you everyone who's voted and given feedback. I suppose I should say stuff... Try and respond to what is said that sort of thing. Also gotta keep in mind that some crimes don't get reported or noticed. Bombing Blackberry Falls - Yeah that's going to get noticed. But domestic abuse may not until it is reported. If you murder someone in broad daylight in the middle of say... a Crowded shopping centre or "Shopping Mall" that is definitely going to get noticed. Be that NPC (PayDay2 Heist? Shit that sounds fun!) Perhaps it would be a personal erk to see this (And this is a hypothetical situation; I'm not saying it's happened or not) but to see people pulling off a PayDay2 Heist by shooting every civilian in the face without even taking into account that someone else would definitely have seen that. - And likely freaked the fuck out. As if everyone's all like "Oh so she's dead and I'm next - Oh well. Here I come Grandma." POW. I mean it isn't so bad for the UFF; I can post their laws (largely because I have to). But obviously its impossible to cover every possible situation (Hell our REAL LIFE law makers have issues with this too!) Perhaps it'd over complicate matters and put people off, I suppose it's a personal preference, this would then give the roleplayer an impression of what NPC's and character's reactions would be if one suddenly "PULL OUT MY GUN~" in a UFF Shopping Centre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_84kR7QWN4 Southpark reference which illustrates my point. ^_^ The more I talk about the more it sounds like a personal issue. But I dunno I think really there should be a post of illegal things that might get your character into a spot of hot water. I dunno... It's definitely something to think about and I think I can say I am starting to get the hint. xP The reason I wanted to move away from using US/UK laws is because we have people who aren't from the UK/US who roleplay in there, I'm thinking more "Blackberry Laws" something that the people who roleplay in there help build up. But as I said it's too niche and probably way over analyzing it. I think Manni's post had a little more meaning in it than what (to lack a better phrase) most people have picked up on, and I think you're right, that underlying issue isn't so much as the level of detail in the Roleplay but the cause is a much bigger problem. Although I still think Blackberry should be it's own laws after all we don't want to make in the RP as shitty as real life by introducing real life countries into the equation.
  2. How ironic. Tripp scored a perfect Sniper headshot against Dragonized_Glory. "T'was a glorious head shot."
  3. Yeah... A "Sausage" xD Dragonized_Glory was Spawn Killed.
  4. Actually... It's a damn good suggestion (In my personal opinion). We currently have something similar already; but it's more "Hentai" niches rather than anything else and it's a very limited list that doesn't allow you to add your own fetishes/likes/niches too; which has always been the limitation of what we are able to do. I will have to review how to implement something like this. But I am saying right now that we're not going to outright copy them or anything like that. We wouldn't like it done to us; so we're not going to do it to other people. I reckon it's possible. But not something that can be implemented easily. For now I'd advise using the character ID (First page) to say what you will/won't do. That said both Neppy and I are re-learning how to code, how to write optimised code and Invision Power Services code. So we could probably implement it as a feature in the User Profile in the future; but it's not something we can implement this year. (And I don't know about next year) I will keep you informed if you like; of course I'd be interested in hearing what other roleplayers think of this too.
  5. Our Terms of Service clearly states "Minors in a Nude or Sexual Situation" as these are clips without context; they're actually allowed on EcchiDreams. Also it's not hosted by us; so I couldn't give a flying shark. xP I have to say that the under-C cup rule is disgusting; so by that logic you could be nailing a 45 year old lady with a flat chest... But in doing so you're a pedo. Absolutely abhorrent. Geez; regardless of her cup size - I'd HATE to think what they'd think about me (6ft 6") who is getting married to and repeatedly has sex with a female whom is 5ft 2". >_> Thanks everyone for the feedback. I am honestly surprised that no one has had an opposing opinion. I genuinely thought I was the only sane person left on the planet... Although that is a pretty insane thought right there. xD
  6. Tripp harpooned Dragonised Glory.
  7. Welcome to EcchiDreams. I assume you mean the CAPTCHA system, I am very glad you like it. It's made by a third-party (not us) and it's definitely different from "enter the words you see below" and such. I have to say it's the first time I've had feedback on it, so thanks. If you have any questions, queries or concerns don't be afraid in asking. We're always happy to help. ^_^
  8. Welcome to EcchiDreams. I look forward to seeing you around and if you have any questions, queries or concerns don't hesitate in asking them.
  9. Welcome to EcchiDreams.
  10. Fate is an odd word to Wolfie. No matter how much he came across and defied what he thought was Fate and Destiny, say being born with the Name Wolfie for an event that hasn't even happened at that point. As someone who could manipulate time; he often tested fate only to get burnt on several occasions, building a time machine in 1996 for example, an event that if he had succeeded would have changed the course of the future in an undesirable way. Every time he tested fate something pushed him back with equally as devastating consequences. It was only in 9666; the year that ended the EPSI Federation Time War upon the Vengaurd of Neptune's Soul, that he understood that he couldn't control it. The year he was born and everything the EPSI Federation held dear was destroyed, their morals, their integrity, their purity and their power. It was a year destined to be the end of the Six. The fall of the Rassai and the death of Talivana. But the birth of the most hated creatures; Wolfie and Neptune Mako'demeri. "Fate... No matter how hard you push, no matter how hard you try to avoid it. It has a nasty habit of sneaking up to you and kicking you in balls. Destiny is endless.... Fate isn't. I'm not so sure anymore... One thing I do know though; don't cross fate. Never cross fate. Karma is a bitch - Fate's Bitch. Work with Fate in-order to subvert it however... That is how I control destiny. It also means I can control who survives death... Does it make you a God controlling fate? Arguably yes; but realistically... No. I'm no better than a Doctor... Huh, I think I understand why we call the Timelord - The Doctor. You're still the universe's bitch. And if it does you favour you have to do it six favours. It's the order of things." - Wolfie Mako'demeri - The Fallen President of the Temporal Grand Council, 10666. Next word: Banana.
  11. Welcome to EcchiDreams, and we're a pretty friendly community, so I hope you can make friends here. If you have any problems; gimme a shout. ^_^
  12. The Story of Evalin Evalins story begins back into 2005 when she had a real life encounter... With a GHOST?! In 2005 Evalin brought a house far out in the countryside in Arizona to be alone away from the city life in Phoenix. She had been a receptionist before becoming the managers secretary, and now she had the money to do this and retire thanks to million dollar private deals. She was going to lead a quiet life from then on out. At first not much happened until one night she went to bed a woke up to find everything unpacked and put to exactly where she wanted it. It was amazing but worrying. Then she would find chores done for her, as well as her laundry and house keeping. Convinced her house was possessed she went online to find out more about the house. It belonged to Ghosty real name Michael Tompson who did everything for the woman he loved only to see her run off in the hands of The Dark Wolf. For weeks he hoped she would return, friends stopped visiting him after twelve years and he tidied up, and geez... Died. Evalin was heart wrenched by what she had read, and she was quoted to have saying that she understood his pain. She instantly believed in ghosts and even formed a sexual relationship with the ghost. In 2009 she appeared on Jerry Springer Episode: I'm married to a ghost and I'm pregnant...! She explained that her and ghost had sex a lot, that it was consequential. She told the audience that she was pregnant with her husbands child and the whole world laughed at her. She ended up hiding from everyone and hid with her husband. Where is she now? Who knows. In 2011 she was found in Wisconsin in a deeply remote area, to this day she has wicked kinky all over the house sex a lot. Very good picture Neppy.
  13. Wasn't sure what to even really say to this; I'm certainly glad you clarified that you weren't being sexist or "Hate gays". I'm curious actually; are you not interested in guys roleplaying with you with anything? I mean there are guys, even straight guys who roleplay "girls" for example. There's tons of women who roleplay men too and very well too. I'm not hating you or anything I'm trying to share my perspective so I can better understand yours and what you said, I'm curious like that xP I'm Tripp; thanks for registering. Welcome to EcchiDreams; got any problems "Gimme a shout". <-- Tried something new today. :D
  14. Welcome to EcchiDreams; if you have any problems, concerns or questions don't be afraid to contact us; we're always happy to help and that's what we are here for. Also thanks for registering and I look forward to seeing you around.
  15. Wish granted. He can now last as long as you'd like him to... Unfortunately; he's someone elses boyfriend :( I wish I wasn't such a jerk with this game.
  16. What I mean by "Rules of the Roleplay. Not rules within the roleplay" is perhaps we should focus more on the rules of the actual roleplay. Example; no killing other character's without the other persons permission. Simple enough. Rules within the roleplay; Murder is illegal, most civilized countries agree that Murder is wrong. (Despite getting permission, from the person.) Now rather than being enforced; it could be that someone who has a Police character starts trying to investigate what happened and such. Some people may like that. Others may just want to do and get on with their plots and fuck realism in the face. Whatever; we shouldn't dictate what their characters can and cannot do; that doesn't stretch to violating other people's rights to roleplay... I'm not good at explaining concepts... So if you still don't catch my meaning if anyone can jump in and translate for me... It'd be appreciated. ^_^
  17. Firstly I want to publicly recongise your passion and your logically-well thought out arguments and I fully encourage this kind of dialogue. Thank you for reading and responding to my thoughts on the matter. I really, really appreciate it. You're not afraid to tell someone who's in charge how it looks from your perspective and I really admire that. To answer your curious question; the thread is usually open for a month. Each example had different timings... But in this order (from my memory) it went something like this: There a debate thread, however after 29 votes for, and 0 votes against after a week the thread was closed. It was a record at the time actually. Out of the 29 votes about 14 people said they'd make a character as soon as it opened. NeppyNepNep created a character in there ready to RP with anyone who wanted to RP in there; however when the time came... No one else did. Six months later the section was considered a failure. Only 1 character in there, one post. Nothing else. Every single person who spearheaded it left by then. The Forum Administrator at the time (To make it clear here and now; not the current Forum Admin) blamed the failure on NeppyNepNep for not endorsing the section like she did with the others, and that caused a bit of an internal shitstorm between the staff (Off and On the site). In the end as Neppy kept the drama off ED, and the Forum Administrator at the time didn't, the Forum Administrator received a formal warning from NekoLust (Site Administrator at the time) to pack it in. I pointed out that if the Forum Admin was so worried at the time about endorsement, why didn't she make a character. To this day I never got a response. The Porn/No Porn debate wasn't closed early but in the end it received a 60-80% majority in-favour vote. Where as this time it received 100% against. I'm not sure what sparked that one off either. I know the same Forum Administrator was in place back then and she was in-favour of it becoming less in your face. There's also something else that we believe may have happened that was being investigated by the previous Site Administrator, which I wasn't actually told about until this year. Something that I don't even know is worth repeating. There was no debate for the One on One RPing thread. A few members pointed out a flaw in our advertising that we didn't seem to allow for One on One RPing. We felt we were shunting a whole group of RPers who didn't want to do Public RPing (That was the language used at the time) "I'm not comfortable with public roleplaying... Is there anywhere I can advertise private roleplaying?" at the time we'd respond "Yes, post a status, put it in your siggy or about me in your profile" people felt that we were hiding and brushing a segment of roleplayers away "Just because we don't conform to your idea of roleplaying." o_O you read that right. So to put that to rest we created the one on one roleplaying forum; which has been... Disappointing to say the least. The amount of people who wanted it to the amount of people who actually used it ... Yeah. All in all the time scales were put down, we were transparent about what we were doing (as we believe in transparency in that regard) I wish I could say that it was because people thought we were doing nothing but this is looking less likely. I dunno... It's easy to jump to paranoid conclusions but I don't think (or rather I hope it's not) malicious. I concede to your point that RP via EcchiText subtracts the activity of the site. So another solution must be looked at. It's possible if the section does go; that it'll return when activity picks back up. As for your points I appreciate your feedback and I've passed it onto Neppy who will look into it. Currently we're waiting for my computer, as she's very generously loaned me her laptop which we're hap-hazardly sharing (also the Tablet) until my computer is returned to me by my insurers. I will say that when EDC6.6 is released the ToS, Site Guidelines, RP, Forums, Gallery and EcchiSocial Guidlines will be completely re-written. (As most of it is based off the original 2007 documents which is 7 years old and clearly not working, too heavy handed and serious.) We also cannot ignore the fact that over 40% of our active users now use mobile/tablet devices either. So there are big changes coming all round. We're calling it; The Great EcchiReform.
  18. Stare blankly and confusingly before offering a cookie.
  19. Wish Granted and I wished for a Genie in a Lamp. At the same time your hordes of dragons do indeed save you from the confines of your prison, unfortunately you are now their... Heh. Sex Slave. Which is what they required as payment. Now this may or may not be good or bad to you but bare in mind that "Sexuality" means nothing to them, and the males will happily use your butt as they assert their dominance, the up side if you see it like that is that you'll get some fine Dragonette Pussy out of it too. Either way you're carnal fucking is posted all over the internet, the media and almost everyone's seen it. The upside to this is you gave Dragon Riding a new meaning, and Slay the Dragon? More like fucking Lay the Dragon. I wish I could sneeze a Universe out of my nose.
  20. Thank you for your feedback, I'd like to respond to your negative bits concerns before I get to the good stuff. ^_^ The adverts pay for our advertising, this month I have: Scaled it back (Removed the one from the sidebar, removed the one that loads with the gallery and the one that opens on Mobile Browsers). Leaving three squares at the bottom of every page, the one banner under a first post and that's it. Disabled Animated Adverts (Quicker page loading times as usually GIFs are larger than JPGs. That and the feedback I got was it was too distracting). Am considering consolidating those three adverts at the bottom to one easy to repay loan banner advert. (Less images -&gt; Less Loading Time -&gt; Less Advertising) It means less money for us, but at this point the positives out weigh the negatives. Especially with the Non-Hentai Adverts showing up all the darn time. I am also unhappy with the adverts and have complained numerous times about this site being a hentai site that displays non-hentai adverts. Unfortunately our Advertising Hosts can't seem to reconise the problem, and to be honest feels like a conspiracy to get less clicks from us (Thus less money we can use for our own advertising), either that or they genuinely don't believe that a hentai site, you're likely to get more clicks with relevant advertising. I am constantly on them for this, and to be honest it's something I'm very quickly becoming sick and tired of also. It's something between me and the advertiser. Infact writing this post, I see three adverts that have nothing to do with Hentai. (I see them too) Advertising could be disabled all together; however this would mean that our advertising budget would be non-existent at all. We're using the money we generate from Adverts to Advertise ourselves. Secondly; again you're absolutely right. This is a problem I'm still working very hard on solving. Infact... I've been talking about it in the staff forums for quite some time, and whilst there's been major improvements since EDC6.5 (Beta), I still agree there's room for more improvement, and I'm working on it, or as much as I can without my computer. I won't tell you to get a better internet connection as there are a number of factors that dictate how quick/slow a page loads, it's not just your particular connection speed (although that's a portion of the factor, not all of it). The site usually loads a lot of graphical content as well as the framework and everything else, not only that but it has to read from a database and translate it into readable text (Rendered). I promise you I am working on it (already), I'm not currently ready to make an announcement on it (As I said I'm still solving it) but here's a sneak peak so far. Unfortunately to make further cutbacks EDC6.6 may see the transparent PNG image at the top of the forums disappear for a lower-sized jpg image and the actual background (The clouds and stuff) being either turned down to a lower resolution or taken out completely. (Or maybe even a new default that isn't as heavy on graphics). Currently the order of skins (in terms of weight) from lowest to highest is: Mobile EcchiTheme Lite EcchiTeme Light EcchiTheme <--- Default Dark EcchiTheme The next issue is with the RPs; I believe there maybe some confusion. A location thread must pass the Roleplay Administrator or Roleplay Moderators approval; this is purely to ensure a flow, or some kind of format that as well as identifying who needs help with what and where. NeppyNepNep intended this only to "Keep the peace" as it were. As for freeform RP, there has been a lot of people (Just recently) who started suggesting this... In the past... We've had a load of people suddenly register to EcchiDreams over a period of a few weeks/months all suggesting the same thing, something that had never been suggested before, and always something extremely radical that would fundamentally change the way in which we work. As soon as these changes are implemented, the people that spearheaded the change disappear (and leave). One has to appreciate our point of view in that it looks extremely suspicious. Especially when it's a 100% of the time. To name a few examples: Saint Arc used to be a standalone RP. Before we had Thorndown Uni (Flagship) and Mercury (Yaoi) and people wanted a Yuri one. We "caved" to demand... Almost immediately everyone who said they would RP in it, didn't and everyone who spearheaded it left, abruptly (All that the same time) Same thing happened for the "Porn/No Porn" Banner. Which was recently over turned. Again; 100% of everyone who spearheaded it originally has long gone. Again; with one on one/personal roleplaying which is brand new. Was privately spearheaded by a number of members; who have (since the creation of) have gone. Time and time again, when we make radical changes the people who ask for those changes leave. From our position this looks pretty bad. It's one of the reasons why we have a zero tolerance policy on Multiple Accounts. On top of that; our RP suite is what makes us unique in our eyes. It's our specially designed format that wasn't supposed to be "More Work" it was supposed to make things easier (not necessarily when filling out, but when reading, and actually roleplaying). To be honest I personally don't want this free-form RP thread, because I don't want EcchiDreams to become "Another unoriginal RP site." [No offence to other unoriginal RP sites.] We pride ourselves in the fact we have a system, and we have a format. That said; the idea is not completely out of the question; I promised another member (Who I won't name unless s/he wants to name themselves), that we'd at least research the idea and we are. I know this might not be what you want to hear; but I don't believe in lying to our members. If this goes ahead there will be problems because of our format... One on One RPing will likely close down, instead we'll just say you'll have to put it in your profile that you do one on one RPing via EcchiText. The Scenario Suites will likely stay just like that, and will continue to be the "Flagship" of our RP section. There will likely be limits in place for the Free-Form RP, that members will most definitely not like and would argue makes the whole thing pointless in the first place. That said I do see where you're all coming from and the idea isn't completely off the table; we need to research it; make notes and once we have a full informed decision we will make a thread and run it by all members to give everyone a chance to put their thoughts and opinions in before we make a final decision. So I'm not saying no; I promise another member we'd at least do this (Think -&gt; Research -&gt; Public Debate) before we actually commit one way or the other. That said NeppyNepNep is already reforming the RP and the suggestions will be taken and put on the new "Plot/graph/thing" in our "Office". [i can't talk about what's she's doing though. It's a surprise.] Lastly; There is no delete button, you're right. If you want to delete something please report the first post in your thread and when asked to put in a comment just put something along the lines of "Please can you delete this for me". It'll be done ASAP assuming that it won't take down a lot of content from EcchiDreams. The edit button also disappears after around 10 days (I think) because of abuse that's happened in the past. (In 2009; we had a member who had made over 1,000 posts who then, after getting into a tiff with the Site Administrator at the time went and changed all his posts to XXXXXXXXXX. Childish and immature in my opinion.) It was one of the things Illogically Logical introduced that I actually did approve of (but probably not so much today, as I feel the community is mentally a lot older than it was back then). Now I've handled the negative stuff; I can enjoy the positives like a fine dessert. Thank you for your feedback on the forum structure, it's something that everyone works on keeping organised and well structured. The Arcade is a weird feature to have on a hentai site, that's for sure; but we've always had one. I'm not sure what you mean by wigs out on you though; and if there are problems with it let me know and hopefully I can tell you what's causing it or better yet, fix it. As for the RP stuff; yeah that's our format... We're kinda encouraging everyone to think about stuff; make their creations to be something that they're proud of (just like Neppy and I are about the UFFians/EPSI Federation Members)... I mean we're so proud of it; that whilst rebuilding the site we stuck an Easter Egg in the Country Selection area hence why we have weird purple crescents in our country flag. I like the reward based system; it's just a shame the Module Dev went AWOL, because it's completely broken. (Looking to have it fixed by EDC 6.6) Thanks for your insight Bubbles. I hope this satisfies you as a response. ^_^
  21. Wish granted. However... Because of my sexy new attitude (and the fact that I happen to like being a girl now for obviously sexual reasons) I decide to seek revenge and a cruel and calculated sort of way. In order to grant the wish, I lied to the Lich King and told the Royal Lich; that if he wanted to evade this then he'd have to turn you into a cute puppy. The Lich King, and I don't know how, succeeded. But like a typical English Bad Guy Naughty Girl I still turned him into a Harmless Pigeon. Like cause and effect, this had a knock on effect, a harmless pigeon meant a disease free pigeon using this those boffins' were able to genetically modify other pigeons however these pigeons were far from harmless, and decided to rule over Earth with the Lich Pigeon as it's leader. A rather strange turn of events indeed. [Not part of the game: I wish I could have come up with something better. I was awake all night and Trippettes brain is no functioning right now...] Challenge: I wish I had a wish.
  22. I know that the EPSI Federation version (Hermaphonari) is either one or the other, or both which can be controlled. In other words I had no answer for this and made up my own stuff. I never thought about asking though, so I think I will be following this topic. xP
  23. Yes, as soon as we've conducted our own tests and trained the staff to use the new system we will be updating, which will become EDC 6.6 (Which is a big version for us as you know I love my sixes.) We have full intention on upgrading to the new IPSuite when it's released and from what I understand it'll look familiar, easier to use but different. I will send you the related information to IPS4. Secondly as I've said already I am so very glad you all made it out unharmed, and relieved. I had gotten worried that you weren't on anymore and I am very, very, very glad you're okay. I think considering the circumstances it's completely understandable. IPS is looking to be released during Q2 2014; I'm looking at releasing EDC6.6 (As we all know EDC6.5 has turned out to be a flop) which should completely fundamentally change everything, and yet make the site easier to use and should finally operate much, much better on a Tablet and Mobile device, which is ultimately what the community has asked for; repeatedly. As the days draw closer there will be teasers and announcements. Surely other sites will upgrade before we do this time (We probably won't be the first) but at least when we release it we will do so when we're sure the site will work and be stable. We'll also be drastically updating and modernising the Terms of Service, and community rules as the Terms of Service currently contains stuff that shouldn't be in there and has no place of being there in this modern age. So yeah, I will be informing all members as it happens. It's likely we will be replacing the points system too, as you know the current module we are using is broken and the developer has gone AWOL. There's also a nice new feature that I've got secretly up my sleeve too that I will be introducing on this big update. But as I said I want to make sure it all works and staff at least know how to use it and help members use it, we want to make sure we can deliver a stable service and effectively; an awesome service. Which means we're not going to rush it at all.
  24. Welcome to EcchiDreams MooMoo. I know I've welcomed you in the EcchiChat system but here's my formal welcome. It's definitely good to see someone with unique tastes having no issues with their tastes being so open about it, which is exactly what we hoped people would do. I also appreciate your open minded-ness, as the saying goes "Live and let live" and "Differences make the world go round" and the like. I hope you won't be disappointed I hope you'll be hanging around for a long time to come. Thanks for registering and getting stuck in too. If that doesn't sell it to you, both Neppy and I are both from the UK too. ^_^ So like I always say (doesn't mean I don't mean it, of course) I look forward to seeing you around, and if you have any concerns, problems or questions, don't hesitate in contacting me. I'd prefer to be aware of a problem than to have people turning sour without telling me and giving me a chance to at least try and fix it. I deeply appreciate those that do. Believe me, at the time I wanted to. I really wanted to.
