The Roissy Herald - 28th of October 2013

New Beginnings.

On the 28th of August, The Roissy Community remembered their foundation, which was 6 years ago. We announced a sim make over and a new concept for role playing at the Chateau. We also announced a party to celebrate the official opening of Roissy on the 29th of September.

On the 28th of September 2013 we presented our new rules and roles. A new application process makes it much easier now to join our Roissy Family and there are more possibilities for everyone to roleplay at the Chateau.

That same Saturday we also made a start with the renewed series of D/s workshops by Zena Zemlja, in the Garden of the Lighthouse Gallery. These are Body, Mind & Spirit workshops about the D/s dynamics and how they touch our spirit, that ran in Roissy's old days as well, back then in the Roissy University for those who remember.

On Sunday 29th September, we had a wonderful party for our 6th Anniversary. We welcomed back home one of our founders, Marian Wildcat with her Mistress Lilas Meriman. Current sim owner Slint Dezno and His Merc were present as well. Old and new members celebrated together while our DJane Nessa was spinning the tunes. And we had some awesome fireworks!

A New Miss Roissy, Ellie Siabonne, and two Misters Roissy, Ash Siabonne and MeGaByTe Pienaar, were chosen by our members to wear the Miss Roissy 2013 and Mister Roissy 2013 Title.

The updated exhibit in the ballroom 'The Jewels of Roissy' was opened, and our sim photographer Laura Demonista did a wonderful job completing the collection with great images of our current members.
She also made an exclusive image for our Community to celebrate our 6th Anniversary. It is exhibited at the entrance of the Chateau and a free gift for all Roissy members.
She recently added a wonderful image on an easel for Breast Cancer Awareness as well. This one is for sale at the entrance of the Chateau, and warmly recommended.

Last month, we welcomed back in our community: Sister of O Dara, Sister of O toy (madison), Roissy Mistress Tinuviel, Roissy Master Michael and His Subordonnée Lucy, Master Ainsworth and His Subordonnée Sacha, Sister of O Spirit, Sister of O Dawn, and Mistress Liselotte.

We welcomed new in our family: Master Abso and His Subordonnée Maria, Sister of O Ayla, Sister of O Aimee, Master Robyn, Master of Darkness (MOD), Sister of O maré, Mistress Cassaundra, Master Quinta and Sister of O Vashti, Master Abalbion and Sister Nai, Master Belair, and Master Aquiles.

We welcomed new in our staff: Master Ash Siabonne, Madame Nessa (MistressVanessaPython), and Master of Darkness (MOD) who now help us with the interviews.

--- --- ---

Where we go from here.

We want Roissy to be a place where everyone feels welcome and feels at ease to meet their friends and play with them at the Chateau. We will continue the physical make over of the sim, pathways and landscaping will be further adjusted, some builds may be replaced as well. We also have some ideas for a new market and we are working on a whole new concept for Samois, which will add new roleplay possibilities for our community.

On Thursday 31th of October from 1pm till 4pm Roissy has its Halloween Party! Winners of the Halloween Photo Contest will be announced, and there are also prizes for best Halloween avie/outfits at the party! There still is time to join the photo contest, you find the contest board on the Roissy Market. Joining is for free! Voting only is 10L. Enter with your best Halloween pic and invite your friends to come and see!

The series of D/s workshops will still be running in October and November. Later this year, other workshops will be introduced as well. Some Body, Mind & Spirit workshops with an Xmas and New Year theme, and some Story of O Workshops that ran in the old days of Roissy as well.

There is a Xmas Party scheduled on 22th of December from noon till 4pm. You may want to mark your calenders already! We are also working on regular events, like a weekly happy hour, monthly dance parties, greedy contests, trivia contests, and whatever else may come up in our deviant minds. First Happy Hours is scheduled for Sunday 3rd of November, hosted by our lovely girls Ellie and Dara.

We advice you to keep watching this space. You will be notified about all new developments and events!

New Rules, Roles and Application Process

Today Roissy presents its new Rules, Roles and Application Process. The changes intend to make it easier for you to join our Roissy Community and to give everyone more possibilities for Role Play at the Chateau.

We only kept a few RP Titles for the Chateau: Roissy Master, Roissy Mistress, Sister of O and Subordonnée. What these titles mean and what their priviliges are, you can read if you click the 'Roissy Roles' button on top of this page.

We have no visitor tag anymore, no dominant tag or soumise tag either. Everyone who had one of these tags in group has now gotten the Roissy Family tag. This has become the new 'everyone' tag and it gives you the possibility to some RP in some rooms of the Chateau.

We have no Valet or Demoiselle titles anymore either. These were the Dom/mes and subs who already were interviewed and were working on their tasks to get their Master/Mistress or Sister title. Since we have decided to not work with tasks anymore and one interview only, all prior Valets in group have been granted their Master or Mistress title, and all Demoiselles have been granted their Sister of O title as well. Congratulations for all of them are in order. Please make them feel welcome in their new community role.

Our rules are intended to encourage people visiting, meeting, interacting and roleplaying. We all login to SL to have a good time. Roissy is a place where you can find this in an adult setting, inspired by the famous erotic novel Story of O (Histoire d'O) by Pauline Réage.

All of our guidelines can be summed up in this: Use common sense, be respectful, be civil, be tolerant. And enjoy your stay! Click the 'Roissy Rules' button on top of this page to read our new Roissy Rules. 

The 'Roissy Membership' button on top of this page will tell you how to become a member. We cannot make things more easy then this, and we trust you to use these new possibities and privileges well for your own and other's enjoyment. 

Be welcome to our New Roissy 2013!

Roissy SIM Rules ~ 28th of September 2013

Welcome to Roissy!

You are visiting the first English speaking Story of O SIM in Second Life, founded 28th of August 2007, and officially opened 29th of September 2007.

Our rules are intended to encourage people visiting, meeting, interacting and roleplaying. We all login to SL to have a good time. Roissy is a place where you can find this in an adult setting, inspired by the famous erotic novel Story of O (Histoire d'O) by Pauline Réage.

All of our guidelines can be summed up in this: Use common sense, be respectful, be civil, be tolerant. And enjoy your stay!

--- --- ---

1. A Story of O themed SIM.

All behavior in RP should be within the context of the Story of O. Read the Story of O online here:
http://www.angelfire.com/in/chains/soop1a.html or buy the book at your local book store or online.

Outside the Chateau and the residential homes, you are encouraged to be fully dressed unless continuing out a current Roleplay. Submissives may be topless, as this is within the theme of the SIM. Dress according the theme of the SIM. Roissy Masters and Mistresses were from the French upper class, this being said formal classy attire is encouraged and recommended, especially when entering the Chateau. Sisters are encouraged to wear a dress of O in the IC rooms of the Chateau.

--- --- ---

2. OOC versus IC areas.

When you visit Roissy SIM, you have no obligation to RP. We welcome you to meet your friends and to have a good time Out-Of-Character (OOC) of any D/s role. We have however created a SIM for those with an appreciation for the Story of O, so we welcome you to use the In-Character (IC) areas at the Chateau for your D/s Role Play.

* IC Rooms at the Chateau:
- Library: Role Play Area for members with RP Title Only (Masters, Mistresses, Sisters and Subordonnées).
- Bedroom: Private Role Play Area for all members of the Chateau. When occupied, please do not disturb.
- Dungeon: Public Role Play Area for all members of the Chateau (TP in the back of the Foyer of the Chateau).
- Pit: Public Role Play Area for all members of the Chateau (outside the Chateau, on the left downstairs).

As a Master, Mistress or Sister you may invite members with a Roissy Family tag to meet you at the Library and invite them to Role Play.

Please appreciate the fact that it will be very difficult for people to get into "RP mood" if you keep on chatting about the weather or the latest football match. If you just feel like chatting please use the OOC-designated areas for that.

* OOC rooms at the Chateau:
- Bar
- Ballroom
Ground floor of the Chateau is meant as OOC area and available for everyone for meeting, chatting and dancing. Visitors should join the Chateau group and wear the Roissy Family tag (everyone role). Wearing this tag, they may also use the public RP areas of the Chateau (dungeon and pit) and the private RP bedroom on second floor.

Always wear your Chateau Title when in the Chateau. Use the bedroom for private RP in IM. Use the library for RP in chat, for everyone to enjoy. Please make sure you have time to play before you start a scene.

Everybody experiences BDSM style RP in his or her own way. When you watch an RP session, there is a fair chance that the RP is not in the way you would play it yourself. Please appreciate that, give everyone room to live his or her own life and fantasies on Roissy. As a community of respect and exploration we all must understand that another may find our "style of play" offensive. If this does happen, please remain respectful and work out your differences as adults. If a compromise cannot be made, taking your roleplay to private rooms may be a viable solution.

--- --- ---

3. Safe, Sane and Consensual.

* All RP on Roissy SIM is always SSC: Safe, Sane and Consensual. This means all play is has to be within people's consensual limits. And everything you do should not involve risks that are not considered to be safe and sane. Read more about SSC here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe,_sane_and_consensual

* Before starting RP, find out (OOC) if it fits the other person's agenda. It might be that he or she has to leave soon, or has other reasons to decline. Just a short OOC IM will avoid disappointment.

* We encourage submissives to put their preferences and limits in their profiles. If any RP does not feel like fun to you, say so in IM OOC. You always have the right to say no and you always have the right to stop a play.

* As a sub, we also recommend the possible use of a safeword. Using safeword will immediately stop all play and never has consequences other than being (emotionally) safe. You may have your own safeword or maybe you like to use the traffic light system. If you use your own safeword, be sure your RP partner knows what it is. Communication is the key to any good Role Play.

--- --- ---

4. SIM RP Limits.

* At Roissy we play within the SIM limits. This means first of all, according ToS (Terms of Service and Community Standards of SL), NO ageplay will be tolerated. Other than that your play needs to be within the kinks known from the Story of O. This means: NO bathroom play, NO breathplay, NO snuff/dolcett.

* In RP scenes where punishment and correction is involved, there are two general rules: the submissive should be allowed to maintain her or his dignity, and punishment may not invoke permanent body damage. Which means:
- The use of humiliation should always be consensual, and within the SIM and Story of O guidelines.
- No whips or torture equipment that, in RL, would cause permanent damage. Heavy bullwhips, knifes, axes, spears, guns etc. are not allowed.
- Punishment may not last for extended periods of time. As a rule of thumb, 30-45 minutes is the maximum. As another rule of thumb, the number of whiplashes in a session should be limited to keep with the fantasy of the realism, depending on the played force the lashes are given with.

* This is a NO-Combat SIM, which means NO weapons can be used.

* This is an "adults only" area with adult play, which means we will NOT allow child avatars.

--- --- ---

5. D/s protocol.

* How to address others.
- Visitors are addressed as Sir or Miss by Chateau submissives.
- Chateau Masters and Mistresses are addressed as Master or Mistress by Chateau submissives (individual submissives orders from their personal Master or Mistress will always be respected when it comes to addressing another Master/Mistress)
- Anne-Maries are addressed as Madam (English) or Madame (French) by Chateau submissives.
- Sisters and Subordonnées are addressed by their Display first name / forename (they also where in the Story of O, with the exception of O, and this letter has a meaning of its own).

Although addressing according the above is a part of RP, we encourage you to always address people accordingly, at OOC areas as well, or at least to use 'Sir' and 'Miss' to show your respect as a submissive to SIM Dominants.

* When to kneel.
Sisters of O are expected to kneel as a sign of respect in the IC areas of the Chateau when called to the side of a Master or Mistress, unless ordered otherwise. Submissives may otherwise recline on the pillows on the floor in the library as described in the Story of O. In the OOC rooms and outside the Chateau, there is no need to kneel for anyone. If it makes you feel comfortable to do so, you may, but no one (other than your owner) should order you to do so.

* OOC means you are allowed to act out of character. It does not mean you would not be allowed to RP. It means however you cannot expect others to be in a RP mood as well. Chances are you will rather find someone in the mood for play in one of the IC rooms. In OOC areas, meeting and chatting comes first.

* IC means you are allowed to RP. It does not mean you would not be allowed to meet and chat. It does mean you have to respect the RP of others and encourage their play by taking your chat about the weather to an OOC area or to IM. In IC areas, RP always has first priority.

--- --- ---

6. Emoting.

When emoting, always allow the other person to respond before saying anything further. Not everyone responds at the same speed, so be patient, there's no hurry, enjoy the scene as it unfolds. If you feel you need more help with this matter, please feel free to ask; there are many well qualified and experienced "Role-players" who can help.

A few suggestions:
* Start your emoting with /me followed by describing what you do in third person in present tense.
* Emote only your own actions, thoughts and feelings. Let your partner decide on where their hands are, how aroused or wet they are, and what they are thinking, feeling or saying.
* Keep your emoting to one sentence at a time with a reasonable length of maximum two lines on the screen. You are interacting, so give your partner some space to read and respond. Too many long sentences can be a turn off to read, and so can be repeated one word responses.
* Animations are secondary and are intended to only add to the experience, not replace it, what's said is the most important, vividly describe what you’re doing and what you’re feeling.
* Change an animation or pose after your partner responds. It's even better if you emote what you intend to do before you do it.
* Make an effort to let your partner know what you are doing, thinking, and feeling. Be sexy, involved and creative. Make their time worthwhile being spend with you.

--- --- ---

7. Privacy.

* Private residences (homes surrounding the perimeter) on the SIM are just that, private. You can only enter them with permission of the owner. This goes for the private home itself, but also for the private parcel the home is on. Don't walk through fences or doors without being invited. Do not ever TP to someone on a private parcel by map or radar without their prior consent.

--- --- ---

8. Miscellaneous.

* In the Chateau, you are encouraged to walk into the room and walk out again if you leave, given lag and time allows you to do so. Lag, crashes or RL emergencies may cause you to teleport or log out while in the room, but when possible we ask you to try and prevent it.

* If you crash and you are not able to get in within 15 min after your crash, people may not expect you back. In which case it probably is best to select logging in home, to prevent landing on a non-free area. You also will also want to respect the privacy of RP in the bedroom. So if you crashed there, be sure to login home if logging back in takes you more than 15 min.

* Rezzing is allowed for members of the Chateau, but ONLY for RP purpose and of course you clean up after the RP. To place something permanent, ask permission FIRST from the SIM Management.

* Some people like to be here in SL who they are in their RL. Others use this virtual world to play their fantasies. At Roissy both groups are welcome. If you only want to play with people who will voice verify for you, it might be wise to put this as a condition for RP in your profile. If you, for whatever reason, won't voice verify, it might be wise to put this as a limit in your profile. Nobody can force you to voice verify. Nobody can force you into a RP without it either. It can be part of the negotiations before you start a play. We will not voice verify anyone for you. Who you want to RP with is your own choice and responsibility.

--- --- ---

9. Roissy Management.

Roissy is managed by SIM owner Slint Dezno with the help of three estate managers. The Daily management is in the hands of Jeanette Radek and Zena Zemlja, assisted by Mercedes Lax on Slint Dezno's behalf. Staff members help the Management with the applications for the Chateau.

If someone would not behave according the rules, you may want to give them a copy of this document. Always be civil if you do not agree with another person's behavior. Try to settle any differences amicably.

If you feel the management should know about a severe misbehavior, then you may send an IM or notecard to them. But please keep in mind that the SIM management is here to have a good time too. So please solve your own personal problems, and only alert them when it is in the interest of the SIM community.

--- --- ---
 
10. Ban Policy.

* What will get you banned?

- Violations of the SL Terms of Service or Community Standards. These will also be reported to Lindenlab.

- Severe or repeated violations of the SIM rules, or purposely ignoring our guidelines to the extent that other members of the community cannot enjoy themselves anymore. Keep in mind that the SIM managers are members of the community as well.

* What will get you unbanned?

If you want your ban to be lifted, you will have to contact Slint Dezno with a request to unban you, and explain to him why you would want to come back to Roissy.

--- --- ---

With any questions, contact the Roissy Management: Slint Dezno, Mercedes Lax, Jeanette Radek, or Zena Zemlja.

Roissy, 28th of September 2013.

This role represents the dominants of Le Chateau in The Story of O, who train the Sisters of O in bondage and sexual perversion. The Masters and Mistresses have the task of initiating and leading RP.

You have the right to roleplay in all IC areas of the Chateau. You may invite anyone with a family title for play in the library as well.

When there are no Sisters available to be a Chateau host, any Master or Mistress may offer tours to new guests if they feel so inclined.

Masters and Mistresses of the Chateau act as representatives of the Chateau.

---

* Sister of O

This role represents the submissive women who serve at the Roissy Chateau.

Sisters will, within consensual limits, submit to the Roissy Masters and Mistresses.
When not serving a Roissy Master/Mistress, a sister will do her daily household tasks, which are:
- being host for the Masters, Mistresses and guests of the Chateau.
- offer the service of bringing drinks on their proper initiative.
- offer tours to new guests.
- entertain guests, Masters and Mistresses. They can dance nude or use sexually-tinged language, and they may flirt with all.

You have the right to roleplay in all IC areas of the Chateau. You may invite anyone with a family title for play in the library as well.

A sister of O is owned by the Chateau and acts as a representative of the Chateau.

SPECIAL NOTE for sisters that are owned by a Chateau Master / Mistress:
Whenever a sister is owned by a specific Master or Mistress, her role will be that the Owner sends her to the Chateau to serve. The sister will fulfill the rules submitted to her by her Owner. The Owner should be aware that, once a sister is in RP, she can't leave just like that to serve her own Master or Mistress instantly. The RP the sister is in, may not be stopped just because her Owner comes online. It is strongly advised for a sister and her Owner to discuss these things beforehand.

---

* Roissy Subordonnée

This role represents the submissives that are actually owned (or protected) by a specific Roissy Master or Roissy Mistress. Actually it is a role for submissive who wish to serve people of their own choosing. They submit to their own Dominant only, and will not engage RP with any other Dominant, unless instructed by his/her own Dominant.

Subordonnées also have the task of:
- being host for the Masters, Mistresses and guests of the SIM.
- offer the service of bringing drinks on their proper initiative.
- offer tours to new visitors of the SIM.
- entertain guests, Masters and Mistresses. They can dance nude or use sexually-tinged language, and they may flirt with all.

A Subordonnée is owned by a Chateau Master or Mistress and acts as a representative of the Chateau under the responsibility of their Owner.

A Subordonnée can also be protected by a Chateau Master or Mistress (without being owned), in which case they will also act as a representative of the Chateau under the responsibility of their Protector.

You are living on a 1024 m2 parcel with 246 m2 added for extra prims (1280 m2 all together). Next to the fully furnished home of 242 prims, this allows you 50 extra prims for own use (292 prims all together).



You will not really need the extra prims, since the home is completely furnished, with fully working lamps and even towels and bathrobes in your bathroom. You may want to save your prims for unpacking purposes, and for allowing props to rezz when using the furniture.



Your home is decorated with erotic quality art in each room. The art in the homes is sponsored by Art Galleries Body, Mind & Spirit, founder of Legal Quality Art Galleries in Second Life.



You are renting a home at a SIM which has an appreciation for the famous novel Histoire d’O (Story of O) by Pauline Réage. Therefore you will find the fully equipped Story of O Pillars in your home. The Story of O Pillars in the homes is sponsored by Domshop, your one stop shop for BDSM furniture.



Your rent for this fully furnished adult home is only 550L a week!

Go here to see the rentals or buy the landmark at Marketplace.

To start your rent, pay the rental sign outside the home. Touch the sign to join our Roissy Properties Group. Send a message (IM or notecard) to Zena Zemlja that you rented the home.

You will be granted the abilities to manage your parcel as a renter. You also will be added to the system to manage your home doors and windows.



We are working on a sim make-over of Roissy. The South-East corner of the sim, where these new furnished homes are located, is the first area where the make-over is now finished.

There are currently only 4 of these new furnished homes for rent. Be the first to rent one!

The Story of Roissy in Second Life

Today, 28th of August 2013, it has been six years since Megan Fabre and Marian Wildcat founded the first English speaking Story of O sim in Second Life: Roissy. There were attempts before from others, but they were the first to make it a huge success. A growing family community was created and soon they needed to expand. I was there when they bought the second sim and they invited me to introduce my galleries of erotic art at Roissy, which I gladly did.

O in the book and movie was a photographer too, so art and the Story of O are always related in my point of view. There is the art of photography, there is the art of submission and there is the art of Domination. The Roissy sim in Second Life combines the best of all three. A third sim was added for residential purposes. Then all of a sudden the founders had to sell all three sims. It’s hard to find someone who wants to buy three sims, but Minh Ahn saved us and became the new owner of Roissy. She developed the second sim into an art district with more galleries being added to it, and new events being introduced for the Roissy community.

Owning three sims is not an easy thing to do, so a year later she sold the sims to Joanna Coage, who again helped our Roissy community to survive. I am forever grateful for the founders to have created Roissy and for all the previous owners to keep the sim alive. After a year, Joanna saw that owning the three sims was too much of a good thing, and she sold each of them separately. Each sim got a new owner and every sim developed into separate D/s communities with each developing their own traditions.

The first and main sim was bought by Slint Dezno who now, three and a half years later, still owns it and has turned Roissy into a peaceful D/s community where all are welcome to play and live according common sense rules of respect and fun. Everyone who knows Slint Dezno also knows he is a man who knows what he wants. I will never forget the first time he and I met and we got into a big discussion right away. We soon became friends, because I like people who know what they want, and I also think it's an attribute that helps one to manage a D/s community like Roissy.

Smart men know there needs to be a strong woman too to run a place like Roissy, and Slint is smart all right, he found a true Anne-Marie de Samois in Jeanette Radek to manage the sim with him as his confidant and main right hand. Jeanette is a Domme like no other, and I am sure Roissy exists still today because of her wisdom and her guidance to the community.

Slint took control of the sim like I never saw someone do before. Yes, there were people who did not like that, but it brought the peace to the community that was needed to rebuild it. Every change of owner of the sim brought new changes, and I know some members were sad to see the old build of the Chateau go, which was a wonderful replica of the Chateau in the movie and build by the talented Deusen Marx. The new Chateau, a build by Jake Molinaro, is another replica after the description of the Chateau in the book.

Both builds, the old and the new, are dear to me, and the old one has been rebuild at one of the other sims. The current Chateau has more possibilities to have IC rooms, OOC rooms and event rooms, and is truly the center of the sim. This means that where people in the old days used to go to the Moulin to chat and to the Palais for events, the new Chateau now has all functions combined in one: chat, play and party.

In the first five years of Roissy, I was never involved in the management of the sim. I only managed my own galleries and organized some workshops and (art) events. A few months ago my dear friend Jeanette asked me to share the Anne-Marie role with her. We are currently reviewing the concept of the sim, its rules and applications, and we have started with a small make-over of the sim too. It's a process, but we think it is time for some changes to be made. Changes that I hope will bring old and new members together on a sim that we all love so much for the exact same reason: The Story of O.

So congratulations to the Roissy Community!

We will celebrate its 6th Birthday with events in September, when we will also present the new concept of the Roissy sim. You may want to mark your calender: the 28th and 29th of September will be our Celebration Time!

See you at Roissy!

28th of August 2013,

Zena Zemlja,
