Community Events - Something For Everyone

[Saint]

Hello!

I’m fairly new to the community, but some of you have likely interacted with me in Sinder Park by now! I haven’t delved as deeply into the forums yet, so forgive me if I’m retreading old ground, but I’m curious about a few things!

Firstly, would anybody be interested in a regular host for community events scattered around the world? A new location every month to showcase some local event, holiday, or cultural norm? Or just generalized events to look forward to on a regular basis? A simple dance performance, stand-up act, festival, or other interactive game?

These events can vary in tone from SFW to NSFW, of course, as I’d want to include as much of the community as possible and cover a wide variety of interests. Give folks a reason to travel if the events that take place closer to Sinder prove fruitful.

Secondly, and quite off topic (maybe even served as a separate topic altogether, but I digress), but I would like to hear some advice from you all!

I’m a fade-to-black player when it comes to detailed explicit NSFW scenes, but it’s been difficult to outline my boundaries into a satisfying snippet, as I’m not a prude. I can write out nudity, strip teases, physical contact, descriptions that might sound borderline to my fade-to-black claims, etc. Is there a good way to word this beyond the above for players? I know OOC communication is a must here, but I’m still curious on feedback as to how I’ll be faring here on Wolfery!

My experiences so far have been a delight and folks have been plenty polite.

Welcome to the forums!

There’s definitely interest in some community events. You can find quite a few of them on the forum too. However, the key to a success with them seems to be that you need to do quite a bit of legwork in-world to drum up the interest and knowledge ahead of time since most people don’t frequent the forums or even know that they exist.

For the second part, it’d probably be helpful to anyone wandering to open it in a fold-away section in your about area, and just simply spell out the limits of the situation where you will fade. That’s what I’d be looking for as a player anyway. Up-front knowledge of the limits helps set expectations, and mismatched expectations is the part where people get upset. Most people wont be nasty about it either way here, though, as long as there’s no leading on to imply one thing and then pull the rug into a pit of another.

Other than that, your explanation there seems pretty well versed. You can only fit so much in a tag, but lots of people expand on the stuff in their about.

Thank you for the welcome and reply!

I was curious about that side of events, yes. The advertising portion. But also just the notion set events might be a continual thing, but I can see how that would be difficult if folks aren’t peeking into the forums now and again.

The second part, I kind of have tags that explain it in similar words. My problem is my boundaries are really conditional depending on player vibe, intent, and how the details actually read. I was pondering on if there was a better way to phrase it as not to turn off more folks than necessary, but I think this’ll have to do!
