Shannon's Journal Discussion

[K-Train]

Shannon, for whatever it takes please do filter out family members... That'd be the only thing repulses me. You can make the program as effective as it can be but please do consider how some users still live with their family. It'd be totally gross it you have a sister, daughter, or other female siblings living with you. I know it's considered a first world problem but regardless, please still take this into consideration.

You're going to tell me that you are incapable of setting personal boundaries for yourself. That is just preposterous.

Hahaha, I'm going to be dead honest here. In the super-duper-ultra-mega low chance that a family member were to "try" you Jake, I think you'll be fine. I was curious about this scenario myself but that's not the problem bro...we're (hopefully) going to have other problems.

If this sub lives up to half the hype and expectations I think the biggest problem is going to be setting up boundaries with the following groups of people (in no particular order)


1.) Female/Male (depending on whether you're male or female or swing both both ways) platonic friends that you don't want to have sex with catching feelings: I'm sure there's a good number of us who have what I call true platonic friends. Imagine (if you're a dude) a female you've been friends with for a while (strictly platonicly, no sex) one day say "you know what, I've never noticed but damn you look good!"

2.) GF's/Wives of current male friends that suddenly discover you as attractive. Case and point: Chaosvrgn. Enough said. I'm sure there are some (myself included) that believe he shouldn't have did it but we're on the sidelines. It's a whole 'nother ball game when the individual is attractive and in your face. Shit, I think the ladies may have issues with this if they run AOSI V2 around other women's husbands.

3.) Bosses: I'll be honest man. I have a female boss that is down-to-earth and sexy as hell. I knew from the moment I saw her that if she ever asked for the D I'd give it up on the spot. Logically I know it's not exactly professional and under optimal conditions I wouldn't do it. That said, if she came on to me as aggressively as V2 is supposed to encourage her to...shit sorry man but if she's throwing it I'm catching it. But again, this may be a "problem" depending on the individual. BUT it's a problem I WANT Shannon so make it happen captain!

Of course I'm sure most guys would consider the above "problems" to be first world problems and would gladly accept the "risk" of being "too sexy"

[Aventus45]

Shannon, is there an ETA for v2?

I'm estimating 1-2 days of work to optimize those script additions. And in spite of the desires of some, there will be no more script additions. I'm going to nail these down and build this damned thing. It's already gonna be challenging enough to get it all doing what it's supposed to do.

That said, V2 is showing consistently in the models as being several times more powerful and effective than V1 is.

Understandable. Based on this journal, V2 is going to be an absolute beast of a program.

[Shannon]

Seriously, though. How hard is it to just say "That's not appropriate." and be done with it? Why is that so scary?

[Shannon]

Is it possible to have the responders think about the user anytime they get into a sexual state? Like they went to watch porn, they would also think about the user they responded to. Is this possible?

I don't know. I'm also not going to try to add that right now. But if the program does what it's already designed to do, I don't think that will be much of a problem.

[Shannon]

Can you make it so girls don't care about looking like sluts (if that was gone, holy shit that's half the battle)? Also so that the friends/people with them won't cockblock you and will actually try to get you with their friend?

That's the dis-inhibition scripting.

The second part, probably not.

[ncbeareatingman]

I agree with Shannon a thousand percent. As an Alpha Male,I've had str8 Married Men come on to me,not just that but flat out state " I want chew in the worst way", double turn off ! Nope aint gonna happen !! MY Ethic's and NOT avaialbe( str8 & Married) and IN denial on top of that ! NO Means NO. NOT appropriate!!

Buddy's wives, and any sexuality issues in general, are easy to turn down. You just use that word that seems to have eluded most modern humans. "No."

Hahaha it's not!!!

[Shannon]

Let's see it in action in the real world before we say it's a genie lamp, shall we?

[Vincent_Vega]

Sad that there won't be a public testing this time. Would be interesting to see how the results change for the guys who are journaling.

[K-Train]

Vincent brings up a good point Shannon. Are you and the other testers going to be journaling your experiences while testing or is testing going to be done in the dark?

[Shannon]

I haven't decided that yet.

[Shannon]

We'll figure it out.
