Okay, so as a result of this post here, I'm back to thinking of this idea, even though there wasn't a whole lot of interest expressed in the post at the time.

And I'm feeling remarkably enabled. Probably more than I should.

I'm tossing this out again. Anyone interested in a genderswitching (sex, technically) game? None of the idea stuff is set in stone yet, obviously. But if I feel like there are more than four or five people who might be into that sort of game, my thought was to start an OOC comm to start hashing out details re: premise, rules, participation, whatever.

There are a few things I'm sure of at this point, but not to many.

1) Genderswitching, with freedom for intersexed and unsexed characters as well. Played straight--meaning not just for the lulz, no matter how cracky the premise seems--and IC. Humor is cool! But it should be natural, in character, and from the characters.

2) Not for the porn. I'm cool with sex, provided it's IC and the players involved are over 18, but it shouldn't be the point.

3) Respectful. Considering the nature of the game idea, it's really important to me that things be civil, and the space as safe as possible.

So. Takers?

I love the idea, but I'm not sure I really count, because I'm feeling pretty burned out on organized RP at the moment; I just don't have that sort of energy these days. That said, the premise sounds very interesting and not incredibly problematic the way I've seen it… be. So. ♥ I think you've got a good thing here.

I can understand that, but I'm glad it doesn't seem too problematic since the whole idea started because it seems to go there quickly when I've seen it before.

Yay for support! It's a start.

Yeah. Honestly, I don't think the one that I'm thinking of would have if the premise hadn't been very, uh, skewed and the mods so unwilling to listen to very valid points from potential players. But your premise sounds appealing and not… gendered in the same way? I like the concept of somewhat malfunctioning machines much better than deliberate genderswap unless the game is going to be more lighthearted.

(And by lighthearted, I don't mean LOLZ U WERE TURNED INTO GIRLS/BOYS/WHATEVER, I mean… hmm. More akin to Micro's sciencey bent, where it's not terribly dark or serious but the issues can still be explored, and are.)

That makes sense to me, yeah. And I think we must have seen the same game, because the the game I saw was very disturbingly gendered, and the mods did not seem to get it. At all.

Yeah, we're definitely talking about the same one. You're already doing better by soliciting this kind of discussion, so. ♥

The idea of not inviting feedback for an idea like this is just baffling to me in general.

THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS YES, though of course I'm not sure if I'd have the time for it and... it'd depend a lot on the premise (ie: I'd prefer for characters to not have been switched all of their lives, but rather seeing how they deal with their new bits), but yesss. EVEN IF I CAN'T PLAY, THIS R´P SHOULD EXIST. :(d
