Have fun!
###########
This idea was brought up by a visitor (cerberus2k) to this site a couple months ago. I didn't have time to do it. But now I think if I don't put it on my todo list, it may never be done.

Here is the idea: a subbies task system. Some people (doms, supervisors) setup some tasks for subbies, like doing some self bondage, spanking, etc.. Supervisors can specify who can respond to this task. The subbies can reply to the task, report how they accomplish the task, and preferably upload some pics, small videos or audio files. Then the supervisors can review the responses and give some comments.

The idea came out because there might be some single subbies need traning and most of them have no way of getting tasks to build them up. Here I want to get some opinions about it and see how many people are interested in it. If you have some suggestions, please don't hesitate to tell me.

There are no pre-made programs/scripts can do the exact job (please correct me if I am wrong). That means I have to do some thinking and writing from ground up. Although it looks not very hard to do, it may still take some time to build a working system. So I want your input before putting some serious work in this.

Thanks!

I'd recommend getting someone with Behavioral Science experience to build some kind of profiling system to match interests with tasks.

Who will the supervisors be? Who can they ask to perform?

Like, obviously, I would feel a little odd about asking kimberly{P} to perform some task for me, because of her {P}. I just want to be sure of the rules first.

ooohhhhhhhhh........

*listens for more*


Master's slave and soulmate,

Thank you for your replies. To answer Tourguide's questions, here is my idea about who is going to do what:

1. Everyone can be a supervisor (task starter). I believe there are quite some people are switch here. So if kimberly want to be a dommie once, it's ok, too :)

2. The supervisor (task starter) can invite other users as co-supervisors. For example, Tourguide can invite Paul. All supervisors will be able to review the task reports submitted by subs. The invited person will get an email about this new task. And only supervisors can assign new sub-tasks under the original task.

3. The task starter can assign the task to certain users (subs). These users will recieve an email about this task and they are required to do what's asked in the task. (Well, I guess if he/she won't do it, we can't do much about it, can we? So this system is only for willing participants.)

4. The task starter can set:
if all other users can respond this task and report the result, so that anyone drops by can write a task report;
if all other users can review the task reports, so that anyone drops by can review the reports.

5. All participants must be registered users. A user search function will be added so that you can get the correct username, for example it's kimberly{P} not kimberly. The search will allow you find keyword in the username and user email. No user's full email address will be exposed to public, though. If you can't find the one you are looking for, you will have a chance to invite someone to join in by sending emails.

Here is an example (hope Paul, Tourguide and kimberly won't mind): Paul may setup a task1 for kimberly only, nobody else can respond to this task. Paul may invite Tourguide as a co-supervisor. Tourguide may think of some addition to Paul's task1. So he can add a sub-task (task2) under task1. Tourguide may want to ask his girl to do this task too and won't mind anyone who want to join in. But Paul's task1 remains exclusive to kimberly.

Everything is still in my mind. So nothing is final here. If you think anything is inappropriate, or more functions should be added, please let me know.

And don't forget to vote on the poll (you don't have to be a registered user to vote). You know, together, we can make the world better (or worse) :D

wwwwooooahhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!

"1. Everyone can be a supervisor (task starter). I believe there are quite some people are switch here. So if kimberly want to be a dommie once, it's ok, too "

Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*looks at Master....thinks*

well....it was a cool idea?!

*nods*....i know Master

what kind of "task" are W/we discussing here Jinn Sir?


Master's slave and soulmate,

When do we start?

Hold your horse there, Tourguide. This is just an idea for now. I need to work on it. May take sometime.

So, kimberly asked: what kind of tasks are we talking about here? Well, that's all up to how wild your imagination is :)

"What kind of 'task' are W/we discussing here Jinn Sir?"

That would be telling.

I thought it would be advisable to weigh in with My two cents' worth at this point.

I dearly love My soulmate, and I gladly do whatever enhances O/our enjoyment of E/each O/other as a C/couple. The love and trust I feel for her are such as I have never felt for another living soul. I know she feels the same about Me.

I believe this idea has merit, and I am willing to give it a chance. I just need to read it over carefully and be certain I understand all the aspects of it; I also want to see what further comments and suggestions are made before the idea becomes operational.

*smiles* And as for kimberly being a "Dommie" once...well...that, too...I shall take into consideration.

Sincerely,

Paul{k}
Master and Soulmate of kimberly{P}

I for one think it's a splendid idea! It sort of extends the roleplay one can experience via chatrooms, messengers and email. Having a two way or more discussion and idea session with a subs Master could prove highly entertaining. The feedback, maybe as a report from the sub, especially with the possibility of some pictures of the task being attempted or after completion is a very enticing and interesting prospect.
Really glad to see Master Paul{k} threatening to unleash our combined imaginations on his soulmate Kimberley{P}!!!!!!!

"Of all things retain an open mind....."

*smiles...can almost SMELL the juices...creative or otherwise... flowing in the room*

I will say right now and upfront that I intend to be very careful about "unleashing Our combined imaginations upon kimberly."

I'm still waiting to see how the final proposals shape up before We set the ball rolling.

kimberly and I have also discussed the circumstances under which, just once, she can be a "Dommie." *smiles* I'll say no more about it for now. I'll just let the rest of You sit and wonder what the possibilities are.

Three years of being an online Dominant have made Me avoid rash or impetuous decisions. Consequences of rash decisions have a way of being long-lived and unpleasant. But this idea is exciting, and has great possibilities, and I think it will certainly enliven this site.

W/we do need more submissives here. kimberly has agreed to approach some of her friends, to see if they might like to become a part of what W/we have here.

Any more comments, insights, or ideas? *smiles*

Sincerely,

Paul{k}
Master and Soulmate of kimberly{P}

Master Paul{k},
I wasn't suggesting that you were literally going to unleash the combined imaginations of dozens of dominant males on your soulmate! Certainly no offence was intended. You'll have to excuse unbridled enthusiam from the UK! But it's an intoxicating idea for those of us who don't have a Kimberly of our own!
YN

Please believe that no offense was taken by ANYTHING that has been said here. If I HAD taken offense, I would not be participating in this thread of discussion. *smiles* I have said...and I am completely sincere...that this idea has great merit.

Letters are not the best way to communicate and discuss such ideas. I have access to a MultiCity chat room which is little used, and to which I have access as Moderator. I know the Owner would not care if W/we use it. Perhaps Those of Us Who are interested in working out the plans for this idea might profit by gathering there, at an agreed-upon time? My access is generally late in the evening, around 11 PM EST. If there are those of You Who would like to have a place to congregate and discuss, I would be happy to do so.

Please respond if You are interested. (I can think of Four Who I would think WOULD be. *smiles*) I'll pass on the addy to the chatroom as soon as I know how many of You would like to meet...IF you want to.

Sincerely,

Paul{k}
Master and Soulmate of kimberly{P}

We could just open a room on Yahoo Messenger for our little community under the same name...

I thought the idea was for us to come up with an idea, post it here, then the submissive carries out the task, posts a message and/or pics here for proof. At least that's the way I read it.

Well...Tourguide seems to know the procedure.

Tourguide, do You have a submissive whom You would like to invite here to start things rolling?


Paul{k}
Master and Soulmate of kimberly{P}

Unfortunately, none of my regular submissives subscribe to this forum. Besides, I wouldn't presume upion them to do something like this for me until I know exactly what is involved.

In my previous post, I was just reiterating what Jinn had said when he brought up the idea. I wasn't aware that a change of venue was necessary to perform the idea under those tenants.

Besides, I like the forums here. I would like to see the tasks posted here, if we ever decide what will actually take place.

Yes, it's always best to wait until One knows exactly what is involved.

Anybody else want to jump in on the topic?

Paul{k}
Master and Soulmate of kimberly{P}

:) Paul Sir and kimberly sis ((((hugs)))))

Y/you both know who i am and that i am indeed OWNED!!!!!! and well protected. **VBS**

However Master and mi Lady both maybe interested in knowing more about what is proposed.

Unfortunately at this point there is little mentioned that I can bring to them for even discussion.

Has this idea come to a slow pace or lost interst?

I too wish to see these forums come more to life. I am very slow to participate and need to take my time and feel safe and comfortable. So far so good.

Hoping to hear more...

Well, this thread seems to have petered out ....

But I thought it was a good idea the way it was first presented. Let's see if I can find it -
<<The idea came out because there might be some single subbies need traning and most of them have no way of getting tasks to build them up. Here I want to get some opinions about it and see how many people are interested in it. If you have some suggestions, please don't hesitate to tell me.>>

So, in this case, the tasks would be for single subs and unowned slaves, not people who are owned, like Kimberley. Of course, if any idea appeal to a Doms imagination, s/he is more than free to try them out ...

But I think the idea of some tasks for untrained subs is a great idea. We don't have to actually assign them to anyone; each person - dom or sub, if allowed - could think back to their earlier days, and recount some of the tasks they imposed or did when they were starting. It may end up being more of a how-to guide for some beginners, but it may also spark some new ideas amongst 'committed couples'.

New ideas are always a good thing <grins evilly>.

As an untrained, unowned subbie, I personally think that this is an utterally great idea and I am eager to learn more information.

Please, this would be a totally awesome setup!

As One of the original P/persons W/who addressed this topic, I think that write4jetc had a good idea in recasting the idea as directed only toward slaves who are not yet owned. Some of Us can put forward ideas for tasks to be performed by unowned slaves/submissives, and then they can take a stab at attempting to perform the task. I've been in the lifestyle for four years, and I have some ideas which I will be glad to share. However, before I start throwing ideas around, I want to know what O/others think of this. jeyline and write4jetc seem to like the idea. Any others??????

:D

I am relatively new to this site and these forums- but eager to participate.
Please consider me an interested submissive in training, if it please you...

Has this idea died of neglect or is it something in the works by now? i have a suggestion or two but would be a waste of time to share if this is not still being considered.

respectfully,

kym

Dear kym,

I have always been interested in seeing this idea carried out. No O/one has taken any steps to do so or shown any interest in doing so...until now. It certainly will do no harm, kym, to set forth your ideas...and then who knows what seeds will sprout to produce new fruit?

By the way, ladydragon, the pictures you posted with your note are quite sensual. How about posting one with a gag instead of a blindfold...but similar pose, etc.?

I will be interested to see what responses will be posted here.

Sincerely,

Paul{k}

Thank you for bringing this up again. I setup a non-fiction / course like program Dungeon. It has the ability of doing my original idea. But now, Tourguide and I are redoing this section and only one course there. Hopefully more contents will be added soon.

If I can do anything to be of help in bringing "subbie task" to fruition, please let Me know. My slave kimberly no longer visits this site, and has little time for online activities; so I fear she will not be a part of things. However, this IS an idea (I think) whose time has come (cum?). Let's get the ball rolling, eh, F/folks?

Sincerely,

Paul{k}:D

As someone else noted of themselves..

As an unowned subbie also, I too would be extremely interested in a system such as this.

Minx

This sounds like a good idea to me. My interpretation/take on it would be that a dom(me)/some dom(me)s would come up with a task and then any sub that wants to participate does so and comes back with photos/a report. Sounds cool to me.
