Suggestion on new feature: subbie task?

I like the idea, but I can see on or two problems, first I like to point out that I don't have anything against the other doms, but I can see that some one might ask a new sub to do something which might be to much for them or beyond they limits,

I think that some form of profile descript, which will allow the dom's to see that the limits and the no go areas are for each sub, before they ask them to do something.

I not shore if this has come up if so, sorry, but will all the subs who has register, will be advible to all Dom's to assigned a task too.

This project requires a good task manager program. The Dungeon section was setup for this subbie task, originally. The program is designed for online school / course / education. I think it is very suitable for the task project. It has all the elements we need: give instruction (textbook), hand out assignment, give test and score the progress, etc. Don't you think the subbie task is just like giving slaves / students a lesson and testing their progress?

I agree with Master Chris's concerns. So we do need a good guide line for masters/mistresses as proposed by Tourguide. We need responsible masters/mistresses to initiate this project.

But my comment was that a program such as Jinn described would be good for subs who already have a dom, but leaves the rest of us out in the cold. I understand Chris's reservations about the safety issue, but I don't see how allowing subs to browse assignments and select one that suits them would be dangerous. Experienced doms could post assignments and rate them beginner, intermediate, advanced--I'm sure you knowledgable folk could figure something out. Sure, there's always a possibility that an ambitious sub could choose something that's too hard for them, but the doms shouldn't be posting anything that's a danger to life, limb, and health in the first place.

That's just my opinion, and it sounds like the system's been pretty much decided upon anyway. And it could be I just missed the part on how it would work for subs who don't have a dom...if someone else caught it, could you explain it to me, please?

For my 'five penny worth' I think this is a very good idea.

Having had some experience of training women using the web to accept and examine their submissive feelings, I reckon that this is something that could bring positive benefits.

It will allow the sub to explore their own intimate emotions at a pace suitable and acceptable to them without the feeling that they must commit to someone before they get to know their limits etc. The idea of undertaking the Tasks and then submitting their reports will also enable the guides/trainers to assess their progress. It will also enable more experienced Doms/Dommes to guide the trainees as they travel down the road to developing and enhancing their submissive nature.

Very interested in assisting if asked.

I'd like it if the task system allowed the subbies to compete, would be a way both for them to challenge themselves, and for them to be grateful for the task

For instance, what I'd do is assign each task a difficult, 1-10 or something, with agreed upon standards or a judge.

Then, a subbie would submit their performance, and be judged by the community, if they agree to judging, I'd allow them to opt out if the so desire.

Then we'd rate them, and the average rating * the difficulty would give them a score

After a certain number of "points" accrued, they'd get a special icon in their posts, but they'd also become inelligible to do the easier tasks...

what do you think?

I think that because all everybody is here is typed words on a screen..something like judging would be difficult, unless pictures were taken and then posted. Otherwise, you're judging the sub on their writing ability, not necessarily on whatever the task was.

I'd have to respectfully disagree. :o

This would assume that all tasks given were physical or would have visable components to prove.

An additional factor I'd think would be that in D/s relationships, trust and honesty are inherent and permeated throughout it. To require visual proof negates the trust that should be present, and assumes dishonesty. While at the same time, I fail to understand of what benefit it would be for the submissive to entirely make up a written response to their task. If we were utilizing this system for its intention, it would be for learning and growth neither of which would be a reward for pretending.

~jazzie

Yes, I suppose you have to assume honesty. I suppose also that the people who would actually take the time to get involved in this would probably be for real.

When I posted that I guess I was thinking about the thousands of losers out there that would pose as a sub and write down their supposed experiences, but they're actually just some moron with a rampant imagination.

I agree with Jazzie, the training does not need to require physical tasks. I have found setting trainees mental and emotionally based instructions can be just as beneficial in their development as for example, requiring them to sit with clothes pegs on their nipples for a set period of time.

In addition, the trust and honesty element of the relationship, provided it is undertaken by both parties, enhances the training. A Dom/Domme can physically ensure that tasks are completed in a r/l situation, whilst the Dom/Domme in an on-line training regime relies on the honesty of the submissive, if the training is going to benefit her. She would thus be forfeiting the benefit of the training if she resorted to lies and deceit.

Subbie Tasks could be, quite literally, anything they consent to.

A subbie task could be anything from having her "Look up the reference to Azrael and report, in no less than three pages, single spaced, who he was and what he did" to having her fit as many clothespins on her tits as she possibly can.

However, we're far more likely to get girls that would rather do the former and guys that would rather have the girls do the latter. Remember, this isn't about how perverted you can be; it should be about how creative and imaginative a dominant can think to make use of a submissive.

Use your imagination and get cracking. I'll have somehting up on this in a couple of days. I just need to figure out what format this wioll work best and how.

As one of the original founders of the "Subbie Task" idea, I am pleased to see that the concept continues to draw interest and comments. I have always thought that it's an idea of considerable appeal and possibilities.

I believe that what is necessary is for a Dominant to post an idea that a submissive can carry out...either in written form or supplemented with pictures. I currently have no submissive, and I would have preferred to assign a task to one who wore My collar if I were assigning an "ice-breaking" task.

Here is a possibility. I have always found the idea of gags to be erotically stimulating, but I know that submissives do not always agree with Me.

And, of course, there are many different forms of gags. There is the penis gag and the ball gag, as well as the cloth-and-stocking gag, the scarf gag, or just plain duct tape. Is there a submissive who would be willing to try all the types of gags which I have enumerated above (plus any that I may have overlooked) and then provide a written account of her reaction to each? I believe that, for the task to be valid, it should be a submissive who finds the idea of a gag attractive, but then again maybe a sub who does not particularly care for gags could provide an equally valuable response.

I would also suggest that the submissive doing this task provide snapshots of herself wearing the various kinds of gags to accompany her written reactions to each.

I will be interested to see if there are any takers for this idea, as I am sure that there are many submissives who are well able to express their thoughts and ideas on it.

Sincerely,

Paul :)

I was working on it some more last night. Just have some patience and it'll get finished. I know it's taken 18 months or so, but another week or two won't kill anyone.

I really like this idea. If I can be of any help, Tourguide or Jinn please send me a PM.

Regards,

This sounds like a great idea. Not only will it help people, it will be certain to generate some interesting discussions.
Barton.

:whines and complains to anyone within earshot:

Not my typical behavior, I assure you. But.... hmmm... :nudges you Doms for attention:

~jazzie

I havent' had as much time to put into things lately, being a stay-at-home-dad, but I'm still trying to get it going. Hopefully, it won't take too much longer. I'll start posting updates as I get things worked out and finished.

BTW, Jazzie, I love yout new signature. I love that song for its words. It's got a really great message and I'm happy to see Alanis back and happy finally.

Sign up now!

The Subbie Task feature in the BDSM Library Dungeon is now open for sign-ups. Get registered, fill out your profile and read the rules to see how the new feature will work.

Subbie Task should be open for business on May 10, 2004 (barring natural disasters or acts of God).

According to the poll posted in this thread, there should be 37 of you from these forums signing up for the Subbie Task feature at BDSM Library Dungeon. So where are you all?

I've only got 31 sign-ups so far and only about six or seven names I can identify from the forums here.

I look forward to seeing some of you get signed up.

I'm not trying to single people out, but these are the people that are interested in the idea and, to my knowledge, have not yet signed up for the feature.

The feature officially opens on May 10, 2004. Get registered now.

I have been busy lately and haven't been keeping up with the boards as much. I'll be signing up though. :p

I have now completed the profile document and look forward to taking part in the venture. :D :D

I think it is a good idea, but I cannot sign up without first discussing it with my guy. I don't know if he'd like me to participate in this or not, and as I don't want to do anything to mess with our budding relationship... caution rules the day.

:)

Just saw your post today. On my way now, or by tonight at least.
Barton.

If you're going to sign up for Subbie Task, then now's the time to do it. The feature opens in the Dungeon on Monday, May 10. Get in now and get signed up.

Well, we have about 100 subs signed up for this thing now, but only four doms. So, where the heck is everyone? Come on over and get signed up!

TG do we have any Female Dommes signed up yet. It seems that there are more male subs than female subs.
Barton.

Well, I did want to sign up as a Domme, but my Master forbids me to delve into the "top" side.....said it would give me evil ideas and he would get tired from beating me constantly! :(

Help!! I'm not able to login at the dungeon. I login here at the forums, then go over there and it tells me I'm not logged in. When I write my username and password, it doesn't log me in. The cookies are correctly configured on my browser and I've also tried logging out on the forums and loggin in on the dungeon, but can't.

I want to participate on the subbie task feature... but I can't login! HELP please...

Thanks in advance,

You may want to pm with TG. I'am sure he can help.
Barton.

The dungeon is a seperate entity from the forums. Your user name and login from here will not work there.

Click on the Subbie Task course and then to the right on the next page, you will see a link to register.

But the link to register points to the forums registration form, and says that I'm already registered. Right above that it also states that I should use my forum username and password to login to the dungeon. I can't get to register or login anyway...

Thanks

One more thing:

It doesn't even tell me I've written an incorrect password or anything, it just returns to the login page when I press the login button with my correct data.

Thanks in advance...

You might want to give Jinn an email. He'd be able to help you better then me with this issue. His email address is webmaster@bdsmlibrary.com

Well, it's been a busy week, with 19 dominants assigning tasks and 187 participants enrolled. Things seem to be going really well. Anyone that's interested, head on over to the dungeon and get signed up.

I've tried with a new username, still no luck... HELP!! I've just sent an email and a PM to Jinn, hope he can help me.

Regards

I heartily apologize for not staying involved and participating- but I'm going to do my best to remedy that. Including answering PMs and honoring requests/orders as my Master permits it- He assures me He shall. :)

Off to the Dungeon to get caught up.

I have just discovered this wonderful site and am having a great deal of fun reading the posts.

However my real tastes lay in the world of humiliation. I adore the thought of being made to humiliate myself in public. May be a better word would be dares. The thought of playing watersport, scat or other such humiliation is erotic to the extreme.

I also have one further desire in these thoughts, and that the person to inflict these delight on me is of my own sex. I have never had the courage to pursue these thoughts, but maybe somewhere in here is a female dom, who would be willing to take me under her on line wing?


If you are out there miss, then I am yours in mind and soul

Julie
