December 2020, will be like no other, Christmas, Hanukkah, will not be the same, how can it be folks, Covid-19 is upon us all, as we all await the vaccines, being shipped starting today. We all know the sadness of the numbers of the infected and those who have died to date, sadly we can’t change it or them. People made up their own minds on whether to wear masks and social distance or to listen to Donald J. Trump and not do so. Sadly. what he does not understand is because of his example and lack of cooperation, in fighting the Covid-19 virus, so many have died. The Hospitals are filled with Covid-19 patients of all colors, races and ages. It’s sad time for me, for I can not comprehend how an American President can not give guidance and set an example for all in a pandemic. Please folks, wear your masks as needed in and outdoors, and stay 6 feet apart, Don’t do parties or events that include more than those in your immediate home. Anything less, is just plain wrong and against humanity as a whole.

That said, The Holiday Season has arrived, and the Christmas Season is upon us all. Lights will go up, cards will go out, friends will call one another and so will families. Zoom, Facebook, and other messaging services will be busy and get used this year and we should all do it that way. We should be thankful the ones who have the internet and these services available to us. It at least lets us talk to those we love face to face, on a Holiday we all believe in.

I want to Wish all a Happy Holiday Season/ Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah, season too. We should be Thankful for being Alive and still here! so Please, Take it Careful, wear your Mask, and stay distanced and remember as President Elect Joe Biden and his Vice President Elect Harris say, we all are in this together and Help is on The Way. Vaccines are coming folks, hang in there and lets all survive.

I would imagine many in Second Life, enjoy the program, for the music, the entertainment and people to talk to, and some enjoy building left and right too and selling their lil pixel objects to all. The thing about Second Life is the possibilities it provides for all who enter it.

As December of 2020 moves along, soon for me it will be be fourteen years in Second Life as one of its users. I have met many different people of both sexes. Each is an individual I can tell you that and they all range in age, location, nationalities and color, which makes it interesting to talk to and interact with people a world away. I must admit, Second Life is great for just chatting and conversations too, it can be a fun place, it can be educational in more ways than one also. But, it also holds dangers, for those new to it, or those who may be gullible, succeptiable to others worlds or ways, the vulnerable and unexperienced in many ways end up being used by others. The danger is that people start cults in Second Life and those cults control minds and people to such an extent that no matter what they will blindly follow the cult leaders making them. These individuals are sycophants folks.

It’s one thing to believe in a lifestyle or way to do things and enjoy it, it is another to end up under the sway and control of these cult leaders, who to me, are equal to Jim Jones, Charles Manson, who were mass murderers and cult leaders responsible for numerous deaths.

Everyday in the world we run across these kind of people, they have charisma and a way of talking, or promise things no one else will, take Donald J. Trump for one, he has a following that makes no sense, and is one of the most destructive men in history, when it comes to Second life, these types of leaders come in all forms. Now, I personally have lived the D/s BDSM Lifestyle in Real life, what is sad is to see people inventing, creating sims in Second Life for the purpose of their own self pleasure period. They claim to be Teaching or Educating others, they aren’t really. Ratzu Darkstone is one of these cult Leaders hiding in Second Life and using it for his own personal pleasure. What are they doing? Preying on innocent succeptiable, damaged women who are submissive and using them for their own purposes. That leads us to the Predators of Second Life who do this all the time. before I go further let me say this, I have been to many of these sims, and seen how they operate, the one thing they use is to tell these submissive women they are going to protect them. So the submissive women believe they have found a protector and they stick in the sim. It’s a hook, is all, and these submissive women, need someone to be there, they are lonely, damaged, either emotionally, or mentally, some are even disabled individuals, who hide behind closed doors at home, hiding from their husbands, to feel like they belong. Sadly, sitting at a computer hidden away in a room in your house and shutting yourself out from the world, so you can listen to someone who calls himself a Master/ Dominant and have cybersex with them or be cyberly spanked, bound or used is not the way to go and will destroy your real life. It will affect your marriage and family and friends who care about you as you withdraw and hide behind the monitor of your computer for these purposes.

Why does Ratzu Darkstone a lawyer who resides in Austin, Texas do what he does? Why pay hundreds a month to maintain and run a sim in Second Life, if he is not getting something out of it? Every submissive he initiates into his Chateau, he gets his jollies off on, as he does so, is all. He sits in his little throne after he accepts the girl, and whips her as he sends her to a table to be gang banged by five men at once in front of 20 to 30 people watching all of this. It’s a sad sight to watch, but I give it to him, he set up a program to break down these submissive women, to break their spirits, and remold them in the image he wants them to be. They all come out of his Chateau, answering questions the exact same way, acting exactly the same, like robots. they have lost any individuality in my opinion. It’s sad to see really.

Anyway, let me show you something about how Austin Island is run by Ratzu Darkstone. As a member as I said before when I was there I was told, all the submissives want to be told to kneel, I didn’t go along with that, for I believed a woman, submissive or not, will only kneel for who they respect and care about, not strangers. Anyway the dispute I had with Ratzu Darkstone and his ways and sim is now well known to many who read this blog, or have read those in the past. So what happened since my departure from Austin Island forced by Ratzu.

1. The blogs I wrote became well read, exposing Ratzu Darkstone and his sim Austin Island for it’s faults and ways.
2. His membership decreased and he is having trouble finding applicants for his little sim as well as mentors for his mentees.
3. His Program was exposed and put out publicly by me for all to see, right down to his training assignments.
4. Ratzu Darkstone decided to stalk me to a sim and copy my profile information and try to report me to Second Life for harassment. I countered by filing complaints on him and his sim in return.
5. Other D/s BDSM sim owners banned me as soon as they read the blogs, out of fear I may do the same to them, which I wouldn’t. But that’s ok they are protecting their own asses, I get it. Fear goes deep.
6. Due to the loss of members and applicants, Ratzu must now adjust, so he put out a request for help from his members. Here is that request:

Greetings Masters and girls –

The last meetings of this year are scheduled soon. Girls will meet with Master Ratzu on Friday December 4 and Masters will meet on Friday December 11.

Master Ratzu’s topics will be:
1. review of the new rules and over arching principles
2. with fewer applicants at the moment, how do we engage members who have no mentees
3. discuss ways to improve the rate of new applicants

Master Ratzu would like to know of other things you’d like to discuss. Do you have questions and discussion topics?

Please send your topics to me 🙂

Yours in service …… Jen

Now, he also redid the rules of his little sim: He approved the new rules on October 18th, 2020

Austin Rules and Principles 18OCT2020

I. AUSTIN PRINCIPLES – The overarching principles of the Austin-Island Sim are:

1. treat people with respect and tolerance;
2. be trustworthy, act with integrity and authenticity;
3. be responsible and accountable consistent with our creeds, rules, and traditions;
   *4. develop and demonstrate- resilience, grit, and perseverance.
   *5. demonstrate flexibility & coachability- listen to the community, grateful that someone cares enough about you to push you, vulnerable enough to know you’re not perfect, be open to honest feedback, willing to make changes.
4. have fun and let others have fun.

II. AUSTIN ISLAND RULES

1. This is a male dominance over female submissive culture therefore each Austin visitor, applicant, person in training and member of any Austin group should welcome, respect and embrace this power dynamic between the sexes.
2. Everyone is expected to demonstrate respect, tolerance and especially class while on the sim! Please wear group tags while on the sim.
3. English is the official language of the sim.
4. There is no official sim dress code except those posted in the public areas and also in the Chateau but we expect everyone to show class in speech, appearance and demeanor.
5. Girls- make your limits obvious in your picks and/or profile unless there is a very good reason and then be sure to make them available. All girls are equal and called upon to solve any disputes among themselves in the spirit of love and respect. All Masters are expected to pay attention to any girl they interact with and if any form of distress appears, take appropriate action to alleviate the distress.
6. There is no OOC where these rules may be ignored. The story allows much casual conversation about many things, but girls must respect and honor masters and dominants everywhere in the sim at all times.
7. No girls are obliged to come from outside the sim when called.
8. All training, mentoring and other interactions under the Austin Group Rules must take part on the Austin Island sim. Austin Island is where interaction should take place except under rare circumstances.
9. It is not permitted for Masters (including Masters, Valets, Dom-Os, TyroMasters, Cafe-O members and guests) to ask a girl who does not wear his collar (including applicants, guests, sub-o, girl in study and girl in training) to leave the sim with him or meet him outside the sim for in an area where possible roleplay, scening or any kind of solicitation may occur. Austin Island is where interaction should take place except under rare circumstances. Any applicant girl, GIS or GIT who is asked to meet any male off the sim or leave the sim with a master must report this to her mentor/guide. All assignments must be done on the Austin Island sim.
10. It is not permitted for Masters (including Masters, Valets, Dom-Os, TyroMasters, Cafe-O members and guests) to have sexually inappropriate interactions with applicant girls or girls in study. This includes any intimate touching, talking, or other interaction. Any applicant girl or GIS who is treated inappropriately by a master must report this to her mentor/guide. All assignments must be done on the Austin Island sim. Inappropriate means acts such as asking a girl to go off sim, having sexual interactions, discussing a collar or equivalent, sexual interchange in voice or IM, etc
11. We respect diversity and political freedom. This group has people from all parts of life and the political spectrum. We require everyone to refrain from political opinions in this group simply because it divides us. This should be about what brings us together. We are all passionate about things like this, but our passions do not always align in politics. PLEASE do not express or advocate a political opinion here.
12. No one should participate in gossip. Anyone whining and complaining without dealing with the issues is being irresponsible. If someone engages in gossip and rumor about another person here, ask them to get it resolved and if that does not stop this behavior please report it. This includes anyone complaining without detail so as to cause confusion and alarm and does not report any problem in a way it can be dealt with. Being a party or witness to either of the above issues and acting responsibly in confronting the behavior and holding the member accountable in an appropriate way. This means tell them to stop (acting inappropriately or complaining) and if they do not report it.
13. A BDSM relationship, especially one with sadomasochistic moments, is subject to questions all the time about its proximity to abuse. A healthy BDSM relationship is one where people exchange power, sensations or experiences in a consensual, mutually fulfilling way. These exchanges increase self-esteem and all parties are actively invested in the well-being of the other(s) and themselves. The core of BDSM is consent. Abuse is not consensual. If you feel that something is going on that is ‘not right’ then you certainly should investigate if it is abuse or not. Some of what you may feel could not be abuse at all, but it’s good to know for sure. If you are the target of something that feels abusive, overhear it or are told about it, you must report it to an ombudsman, your guide or mentor. The harm associated with abuse can be emotional, mental, sexual, social or economic.

III. GIRLS IN STUDY AND APPLICANT@AUSTIN GIRLS

1. This phase covers the Girl’s training from the Applicant through to her Initiation into the Chateau and the Girl in Training (or Silence) phase or graduation to Sub-O. During this phase, Study Girls should still not be subject to most forms of what reasonable people would call discipline or sexual use but both of these are defined and refined as follows:
   a) Discipline. Girls may not receive any form of discipline with any implement. Discipline includes spanking as punishment, whipping or any form of physical punishment. However, they would be subject to discipline in the form of brief periods of confinement, no longer than 30 minutes, to a cage, bondage frame or ropes or cuff bindings. They may be leashed (IF they have a collar and agree) and made to kneel. They may be asked to complete tasks and short tasks by Masters. Implements such as whips, canes or other tools should not be used on them.
   b) Sexual use. Girls would not be subjected to any form of sexual intercourse which is defined by the penetration of any part of the Girl by any part of the Master, or the touching of the Girl’s breasts or genitalia by the Master/Valet whether it is covered or uncovered. It would also preclude the stimulation of a Master by the touching of his genitalia whether it is covered or uncovered. Nor would she be exposed completely naked; she must keep her private parts and breasts covered from view in any way. However, Girls may be caressed, kissed (no tongues – that’s penetration!) spanked as a show of affection and cuddled by a Master. They may also be stripped and displayed in bra and panties. They may also be asked to observe a scene between a Full Master/Valet and a Girl. TyroMasters may not do anything more than speak to the GIS, socialize/dance/talk with her, allow her to sit on his lap or ask her to kneel.
2. These girls must agree not to accept a collar during their training period. Accept a collar means to designate someone as your Master, owner, partner, Guardian, Warden, Dominant, Husband, protector, coach, daddy, owner, overlord, monarch, maitre, chief, teacher, leader, guide, captain, champion, keeper, guru, director, chief, ruler, governor, lord or any title that is similar or to behave in such a way that it seems she is collared to others in the group.
3. It is not permitted for Masters (including Masters, Valets, Dom-Os, TyroMasters, Cafe-O members and guests) to have sexual inappropriate interactions with girls in study as well as applicant girls. This includes any intimate touching, talking, or other interaction. Any applicant girl, GIS or GIT who is treated inappropriately by a master must report this to her mentor/guide. All assignments must be done on the Austin Island sim. Inappropriate means acts such as asking a girl to go off sim, having sexual interactions, discussing a collar or equivalent, sexual interchange in voice or IM, etc

2. Habitué- Habitué@Cafe’O is a title in the cafe group for frequent visitors, guests and customers who are not part of the Austin Group. It is not for many people, only those who have been coming here often and for a long time. Habitué are expected to be responsible as well as promoters of the group and the sim. They are expected to be on the sim frequently. Habitue’ are invited to join but must maintain a steady presence to retain the status. There is no application process available for this role.

They have demonstrated that they have done what was required to join the group.
4. Applicant@Austin – This is a cafe-O group title that indicates someone has applied to become an Austin Group Member. This phase is very much a trial period while the person explores the group and the sim. It should last for three weeks or the successful completion of applicant assignments, whichever is longer.
   a. The assignments should consist of the preliminary ones where they learn the rules and codes of conduct of Austin, study the Story of O and other texts and familiarize themselves with the Masters and Girls of Austin. During this phase, the Applicant Girls should not be asked to do any more as regards submission than kneel, pay attention, socialize, dance and be polite to Masters. They should strive to be submissive at all times. Applicant girls may call Austin Masters (Master, Valet, Dom-O or TyroMaster) either sir or master.

A girl (or her alts) also cannot have a mistress. A prospective master must submit an application as well. If you have had an alt avatar apply in the past, you must reveal this fact and the history involved. Alts are a part of SL and members are certainly allowed to have them. However, we expect members to use only one avatar when visiting the Austin Island sim or interacting with the group. If there is a need to violate this rule, contact Ratzu Darkstone. New members will be interviewed and must be prepared to interact in voice in order to join. We expect members to play the same sex (male or female) that they were born with in rl.

VI. AUSTIN-O GROUP RULES

1. The Austin group should consist of only active members. Members should do more than simply attend events. Extended absences may result in a LOA. Those members who are not able to be active will be given a special title in the cafe’ group of Alumn@Austin to recognize their contributions and each can apply in the future to rejoin the group.

We expect our members to possess a high level of maturity, understanding, manners and decency. Show respect and tolerance to everyone. All members are expected to be active in the group and visit the sim regularly. Members who are not sufficiently active either in time spent on the sim or in participating in their duties of their roles, may request to be moved into a cafe’ only role. This will also be done by the leadership if members are not active. Members may submit a Leave of Absence request if leaving the group actively for a period of time.

They may also organize activities and events and are asked to submit periodic logs to show how they have contributed to the sim. Details will be provided and apply to all group members. Contributions include serving as a mentor, on a team or committee, doing assignment, hosting and/or attending events, contributing significant lindens to the sim, giving tours to visitors, etc.

8. Brotherhood – All Masters and Dominants at this sim need to treat each other in public with total respect- it is NEVER acceptable for any girl or visitor to witness any masters arguing or acting disrespectful at any time.

Sisterhood – All submissives and girls at this sim need to treat each other in public with total respect- it is NEVER acceptable for anyone to witness any girls arguing or acting disrespectful at any time.

10. Associate @Austin – Associate@Austin tag will be given to people who are DJs or others who need rights. It will not be used for visitors or prospective members. It may be removed after each event. This tag is only one to be used to access sim rights such as setting the music stream and rezzing a tip jar. It gives no special recognition at all inside the group. This is usually a temporary tag.

VII. AUSTIN-O MEMBERS

0. This group is for people who know the story of O well and generally embrace it. The Story of O Group was formed to explore domination and submission. The intent is train and mentor girls in submission and men in mastery. People are not permitted if their avatars do not represent the real-life sex (male of female) they have been since they were born. No mistresses, subs of mistresses, she-males, or furries, are allowed. Only Austin group members may join associated groups such as Masters-O, girls@austin, mentors@austin and the Austin Theater Group.
1. TyrǑMaster @Austin – TyroMaster is an aspiring master with duties, restrictions & training assignments. The tag is only given out after voice check and an interview conversation. All TyroMasters are assigned mentors when they join the group. They are expected to visit the sim a few times a week as they learn. TyroMasters are permitted to engage in the training of GIT only in the presence of one of his mentors, or another Austin Full Master, and by negotiated agreement. Tyro Masters shall not engage or initiate interactions including speaking with GIT without the presence of a full Austin-O Master. TyroMasters may not do anything more than speak to the GIS, socialize/dance with her or ask her to kneel. TyroMasters are encouraged but not required to train and scene per the group rules with full o-girls after obtaining the o-girl’s permission. After completion of assignments, they may petition for promotion to valet or to Dom-O. They may make this election at the time their promotion panel is assembled.
2. Dom-Ǒ @Austin – This role is for a dominant male who would like to join the group and serve as a dominant but not required to engage in the training in the Chateau. Dom-Os may petition to become Valets after one year. Dom-O@Austin are not permitted in the Chateau unless it is open to the public. The girls and subs exist to please the Masters and Doms and the Dom’s job is to push the girls into submission while respecting their limits defined in the girl’s profile after agreement and the limits of the group. A Dom must always respect OOC IMs from the girls at all times. Doms may not do anything more than speak to the GIS, socialize/dance with her or ask her to kneel. Doms may scene with full o-girls only after obtaining the o-girl’s permission. Doms may serve the sim in many ways such as leading discussions or providing protection or safety to girls and subs, but NOT GIS or GIT. They need to know the sim and the group rules. They should be active on the sim and in promoting the group.
3. Valet-O@Austin – The role of the Valet is the maintenance of discipline and order within the confines of the Chateau. His primary role will be to ensure that the girls are regularly whipped and used performing these tasks himself regularly to ensure continuity for the girl.
   a. He is free to use GITs for his personal gratification and will train and develop them. All active Valets are expected to visit girls in training frequently. He may only use and whip them if they are in the Chateau, and may not call them from other areas for this.
   b. The role of Valet requires a dedicated amount of time each week in the Chateau interacting with the girls in training. All Valets are required to prioritize their responsibility as a Valet whenever a GIT is present, assisting them with their progress as a submissive within Austin. The Valet’s second responsibility is to engage and share time with O-girls to build relationships and take advantage of the wealth of knowledge the O-Girls of Austin have to offer. They will be expected to follow the Valet rules. Upon completion, a valet may petition to become a master.
   c. Valet shall reside on the Château grounds. Residences have been established for this purpose. Valets with a collared partner may retain their shared townhouse instead.
   d. A Valet will complete a simple activity report showing the number of hours he’s spent working on Valet responsibilities as well as brief summaries of times spent with GITs and any O girls. The activity report will be submitted on a weekly basis to the valet’s mentors with copies to members of the Admin team and active head of valet. These reports should be kept confidential and restricted from distribution beyond the Valet’s mentors and the team members mentioned above. The activity report will list the following: Date and time and name of any GIT visited. List any pertinent comments or concerns and any other important activity.
4. Master-Ǒ @Austin – All masters (including full masters and valets) are expected to train the girls in submission and surrender. All Masters are expected to visit each girl in training while she is in the Chateau but are encouraged to visit a few times and train the girl.This training includes bondage, incarceration, whippings, sexual use or other tasks consistent with the story of O. Masters are expected to show respect for each other. The girls exist to please the Masters and the Masters job is to push the girls into submission while respecting their limits defined in the girl’s profile after agreement and the limits of the group. A master must always respect OOC IMs from the girls at all times. Masters are expected to act as mentors for tyro-masters and valets. They are also expected to regularly train and use the girls in the Chateau.
5. girl Studying-Ǒ @Austin – A girl in study (GIS) is doing studying and training. A GIS is not permitted in the Chateau unless it is open to the public or for her initiation ritual. This is where a girl may decide to move into the role of GIT or choose instead to become a sub-O. These girls will have mentors assigned to them. They may not be used or whipped by masters, but may be instructed in discussions. They are expected to be on the sim often, study and serve the masters except sexually or by being whipped. All GIS will be required to lead in the organization of one event each month during their time in Study. Other than their monthly GIS event, the other events can be done in cooperation with other O-girls and GIS. This can include any type of event, dance, contest, hunt, voice reading etc. and discussions. Simply acting as a host, greeter, note-taker or organizer will no longer meet this requirement. At the successful completion of the GIS role, a girl may elect to become a GIT and enter the Chateau or she may choose to become a sub-O. This election is made when her promotion panel is formed.
6. Sub-Ǒ @Austin – This role is for a submissive girl who would like to join the group and serve as a submissive but not engage in the training in the Chateau. After one year a sub-O may petition to switch to GIT. Sub-Os must obey all Masters but may be restricted in discipline or sexual use and may always decline to engage in scenes with discipline or sexual use. This restriction must be obvious in her profile. They are obliged to serve the Masters wearing the group tag within the sub’s limits while in the sim and address all Masters (Master, Valet, Tyro, and Dom-O) with respect and are required to call them Master. They are expected to serve the sim in various ways. They may serve in some role such as administration or events coordinator. Those who are not serving that way should find a way to serve once every few weeks such as hosting events. They are expected to act as hostesses to guests and give tours of the island. They should join the cafe’ group and learn how to invite visitors to join as well by looking at the group. They need to know the sim and the group rules. They should be active in organizing events and in promoting the group. They should be on the sim often. Sub-O@Austin are not permitted in the Chateau unless it is open to the public.
7. girls in training- InSilence@Austin – GIT a. The training is always and must be purely voluntary. No one may force any girl into training. A girl in training may leave the training at any time since this is consensual, but once a girl leaves, she is not allowed to rejoin unless she has totally completed her training. b. Any new girl in training (GIT) agrees that she will be used by all masters whether she has a Master or not. She will go through a period of training similar to O’s experience in Chapter 1 of the book, in which she will go through the ordeals that may include silence, incarceration, whippings, punishments, sexual use in every form by one or many masters at the same time. Every Master is expected to use the girl in training. Girls in training who do not have a master agree not to accept a collar from anyone until their training is complete including completed execution of the integration plan. c. GITs will be silent during the time at the Chateau and must wear the Silent Tag. GITs may emote, and answer a question on command from a Master or Valet. Masters and Valets will provide clear permission to speak. GITs may IM their mentor but no chit chat. GITs may not chat or IM with anyone else without a being in the presence of a Master. The GIT will not ever use voice or skype or cheats such as sign language, animals carrying notecards, mind reading telepathy, emotes that are actually talking, telephone calls, texting, email, There is no OOC here. A GIT who cheats on this cheats herself and the members of the sim and will likely fail. Speaking will result in a few days in the enclosure for punishment. Do not chit chat GITs are not allowed to speak via note cards at public events. d. A GIT should always follow the Girl in training at the Chateau rules posted. e. The only limits, other than trauma limits stated in her application, a girl in training may have are defined in the group limits. A girl in training must be silent until she graduates. The general Philosophy of No Limit in the Chateau is correct, but the extenuating circumstance of real-life Trauma should be acknowledged and accepted as the only Limits allowed. If a girl is too vulnerable, she should not enter the Chateau. A girl may elect to “work” on her trauma related areas with Masters/valets in a BDSM mode, but we are not mental health professionals and no one is or should be expected to deal with any severe trauma issues. Real Life realized trauma is to be disclosed when applying and if something arises afterwards, she should tell her mentors. Since these will be seen as limits, they need to be disclosed prior to entering the Chateau and if there is sufficient concern that shows up, it is possible some trauma may be deemed inappropriate for our training. Once we accept her into training, she may protect herself with safe words. Masters have the responsibility to always communicate to be aware of how she is doing. f. It is inappropriate for Masters (including Masters, Valets), girls and mentors, to ask a girl to go off sim, having discussing a collar or equivalent, sexual interchange in voice or just chit chatting. g. A girl in training will be assigned mentors (full girls) and restricted to the Chateau during her training. She must keep her room simple and austere and follow the rules of the Chateau posted on the wall including always wearing an O-dress. Girls in training should be in Chateau a minimum of 3 days a week at 3 hours a day, and if not let your mentors know. If a girl has not been sufficiently active she will be removed and not allowed to return. A GIT may not ever leave the Chateau alone except to visit the submission gallery to work on her gallery assignment but she must wear her cloak and hood and remain silent. h. A girl in training may be removed from the château only if: the GIT is directly invited by a full master or a valet. She must wear her cloak and hood and remain silent and be supervised by a full master or a valet only under the following circumstances:
   1. A girl in training (GIT) shall be permitted to attend all formal ceremonies
   2. After a minimum of 14 days within the château, the GIT shall be permitted to also attend educational discussions but not voice chats, dances, or parties.
   3. After a girl is in the vault, she may be permitted to attend and observe only at celebratory and social activities (voice chats, dances and parties).
8. Ǒ-girl @Austin – O-girls are obliged to serve the Masters wearing the group tag within the girls limits while in the sim. Girls may also serve as mentors to applicant girls, girls studying O and girls in training. They will also perform some duties in the sim to show their active service.
   a. O-girls are expected to serve the sim in various ways. They may be active mentors or serve in some role such as administration or events coordinator. O-girls who are not serving that way should find a way to serve once every few weeks such as hosting events. Girls are expected to act as hostesses to guests and give tours of the island. They should join the cafe’ group and learn how to invite visitors to join as well. They need to know the sim and the group rules. O-girls are expected to be active and serve as mentors of new girls. They should be active in organizing events and in promoting the group. They should be on the sim often.
   b. An O-girl may return to the Chateau for renewal (see renewal procedure).
   c. Full O-girls with no master may restrict themselves as their needs require with Ratzu Darkstone’s permission. Full O-girls may have more restrictions and may even be totally restricted by their master. A girl’s limit can include restricted use to her master but she should normally otherwise serve and obey all masters within the sim. If a girl is restricted, she must state that in her profile obviously and clearly.
9. Progress Requirements – Unless there are extenuating circumstance. these progression requirements apply for all GIS, TyroMasters, Valets, and returning members:
   a. For GIS – a minimum of 60 days and a maximum of 6 months.
   b. For TyroMasters – a minimum of 60 days and a maximum of 6 months.
   c. For Valets – a minimum of 60 days and a maximum of 9 months.
   d. For Returning Full Members – a minimum of 0 days and a maximum of 90 days.
   e. We will make extensions for people dealing with rl circumstances that may cause delay. Anyone reaching the limit will be contacted and this lack of progress will be discussed with your mentors. Once a trainee goes past the maximum, they will be removed from the groups and issued an Alumn@Austin title in the Cafe-O group,

VIII. AUSTIN ISLAND PRIVACY POLICY

1. At Austin Island privacy is taken very seriously. Respect people’s right to privacy. The discussions held here will be distributed to the Austin and Café-O groups and maybe posted on the sim or passed on by the recipients. Participation in those discussions is implicit consent for that original distribution. Copies may be kept on the sim. You may participate and protect your privacy by simply listening and not speaking.
2. It is against Austin Island policy for photos or snapshots to be taken of any “Adult” situation without the consent of those in the picture. It is also against policy to cam in and view people from a distance when they are involved in adult role play. Role play should take place in chat and not IM, so please allow people privacy in that as well. Be courteous and respect people’s privacy.
3. Residents are entitled to a reasonable level of privacy with regard to their Second Life experience. Sharing personal information about your fellow Residents without their consent — including gender, religion, age, marital status, race, sexual preference, alternate account names, and real-world location beyond what is provided by them in their Resident profile — is not allowed. Remotely monitoring conversations in Second Life, posting conversation logs, or sharing conversation logs without the participants’ consent are all prohibited. (Second Life Terms of Service/Community Standards) No scripted chat recorders will be permitted ever!
4. Transparency is a key element in the principle of integrity and authenticity. This means that all documents which are generated by anyone in the group, including assignments, promotion panel assessments, applications, discussion notes, meeting notes and all other documents will be open to inspection by sending a written records request or by asking the person who created that document, This means we must stand by what we say and what we write. If anyone includes any personal information in a document then that is implied consent to share it if requested.
5. WARNING- Violations of this policy may result in a warning or banning from Austin Island!

IX. RULES FOR GEL-AUSTIN RESIDENTIAL SIMS

1. Everyone is expected to demonstrate respect, tolerance and especially class. No girls are obliged to come to Austin Island from the GEL sims when called. Austin Members are expected to follow Austin rules except where they own a parcel that is set as private.
2. “Private Parcel” in these rules which means the parcel is set as follows:
   a – does not check the box “Avatars on other parcels can: See and chat with avatars on this parcel. This is in the options tab.
   b- set up security to keep unwanted people out.
3. These private parcels will be considered outside the Austin rules for most members. GEL will provide assistance to set these private parcels correctly if requested.
4. Girls in Study and Girls in Training must follow Austin rules on attached GEL Residential sim(s) except on their own “Private Parcel” as defined above. That means all GIS and GIT must set their land as a “Private Parcel” and a GIT/GIS may only be private on her own (or her Masters) parcel and must follow all Austin rules elsewhere on the GEL sims.
5. All assignments must be done on the Austin Island sim.

As to me, I care not what others think of me, my purpose is not to kiss Ratzu Darkstone’s ass or any other persons. By the way, it is obvious and should be noted here, I am not the only person he banned from his sim, nor am I the only one who doesn’t like his lies and what he does. How else would I get this information, since I have not been near Austin Island or Ratzu Darkstone since my July Departure? When I was banned from Austin Island, I had completed all Applicant Assignments, All but two parts of the Tyro-Master Level also. I also, hold all the assignment assessments on me, and the names of all who approved them.

Anyone wanting to get through Ratzu Darkstone’s Training program I recommend you be quiet, do the assignments, avoid talking to those in charge, for they create the real drama in Austin Island. Don’t hold any public discussions, about any subject to do with the lifestyle that you may not agree with. Don’t trust Ratzu either.

D/s BDSM in real life is much better then online in Second Life.

I will continue to write blogs, on this subject and many others. As to Ratzu Darkstone and his policies, rules and principles, he may bind his people on his sim to them, but he can’t stop anyone from using what he writes or says publically on a public sim. If it is given to me, told to me and I receive it, I will continue to expose it for the whole world to see. It is called Freedom of Speech in America.

Times change, people change, even Second Life Sims change folks. change is what motivates, and moves life forward, staying the same is just stagnant and boring.

I say this because some people are stuck in Second Life and will never leave it because they have nothing better to do in their lives, or because they are disabled or mentally or physically incapable of living a normal life. Nothing wrong with that, of course, for they need a place for entertainment also.

But do people learn in Second Life at all? Do they ever get the idea that what they do is wrong? Sometimes I wonder!

Anyway as many know, I have a dispute, with The D/s BDSM community in Second Life and how they operate their sims. My argument is over The Story of O they use, how they use it and how they train and treat their submissives. Most of the Sims, I have no argument with for they actually allow the female submissives their own choice to do as they please and force nothing upon them. I applaud D/s Bdsm sims in Second Life, that do that.

The one sim I do have an ongoing argument about and can’t stand, knows it, is Ratzu Darkstone’s Austin Island and Ratzu himself. Why? Well it started with his requirement for all female submissives to kneel for all males on his sim. My argument was always and will always be no female submissive should be forced to kneel for anyone, let alone males who think they are dominants and are not. But that was only the start of my dispute and argument with Ratzu Darkstone and his Austin Sim.

I didn’t ask or look for Austin Island as a sim to visit I was brought there by a female friend at the time named Shim. So, I went, joined on a whim, for her sake. To make a long story short now, I was a member of Austin Island from December 1st, 2019 to April 14th, 2020 when I requested Alumni Status for a few different reasons. 1) I am dealing with a cancer ridden wife, with breast cancer I care for daily, 2) I was under constant attack by Shim and her friend Nico, since the day Ratzu promoted me to Tyro-Master ahead of advancing Shim. 3) I was doing interviews with the men of Austin as per assignment requirements, and interviewed Rafe, when I, did I asked him about the attacks by Shim and Nico and he told me to stop talking disparagingly about Austin’s members. I did, but was angry and upset from all of the above and went off publically in Austin’s Cafe area asking for Alumni status. So, Ratzu granted that status immediately. When I calmed down, less than 24 hours later, I reapplied for full status as a member under Austin Island’s rules. Ratzu declined it after a week wait, telling me I lied to him and others told him of my comments. I remained an Alumni until July of 2020. One July Morning I logged in Austin Island and was standing in the cafe and a female member made a comment about multiple partners and how she didn’t like that, so I piped up and said, I didn’t like Harems either.

The next morning, I logged on and received a message from Ratzy Darkstone I was banned from his sim. So I wrote my first blog about Ratzu Darkstome and his Austin Island sim and posted it. A member of his sim told him I did and I received an instant message from Ratzu saying he had seen the blog and he wished I had been kinder to him and his sim in it. I told him then, he would hear more from me. And I kept my word over time, I wrote numerous blogs over it all and posted them on my Blog publically for all to see.

I used the information given to me by Ratzu Darkstone for his Austin Island Sim and training program in them. Ratzu sent people to me saying I would get banned from Second Life for giving out his Intellectual Property. Fact is he gave me the information of his own free volition, and I own it now and can use it as I please. it is in my computer. Now, since he didn’t like the blogs, he decided to stalk me in Second Life to a sim I Dj at and copy my personal information from my profile and send in a complaint to Second Life. Once i was notified of said complaints and him trying to recruit others to do the same, I filed complaints with Second Life on him and his sim in return. The dispute/ argument has now been going on since July of 2020 and it is December of 2020. I write, he fights back, I write more, he fights back more. On and On and On it goes. Now I can do this until I die if need be, I write it’s what I do, I also gather information and use it.

Now I am about to say something here to all D/s BDSM sims I have been on, that are not Austin Island or belonging to Ratzu Darkstone. I understand you all fear me doing the same to your sim and people that I did to Ratzu Darkstone and his sim. I get it I do, but I remind you I have information, on each sim I have been in for D/s BDSM and hold that information in my computer today. Yet, if you have noticed or not, I have not mentioned any of the other BDSM/ D/s sims I have visited nor have I tried to attack them or their people in anyway. I don’t mind being banned from any sim as I have been by the ones who use the Story of O and fear me, I get the protection you are using, but you don’t need it, I have no reason to attack or reveal anything about any of you. I understand you banned me for writing the blogs on Ratzu Darkstone and his sim, because you believe I would do it to you too, I wouldn’t and won’t.

That said we are now at a point in this dispute or argument, that innocents are being affected and getting hurt. If the BDSM D/s community wants to avoid further damage or injury to their sims or people, I would recommend, we reach an agreement of some sort. If we don’t well, I will write lots more.

That said, I have been given information, more that is regarding Austin Island and Ratzu Darkstone, as to where it is coming from I shall never reveal. But, I have his notes on his desperation to find new members, his meeting notes about it all and his meeting with the men and women of Austin trying to find new members and find mentors for mentees on his sim. I know of his changes in who is running his Tyro-Master program, also. I know also that he rewrote the rules for his sim and I have them also. I have Irene Silverwebs Graduation as an O Girl. Now how did I get them and why were they given to me is a question to answer for Ratzu Darkstone and his little sim. The obvious answer is staring you in the face Ratzu Darkstone, I am not the only person who was in your sim who doesn’t like it, and obviously some who are still there, don’t like your two faced lies, either.

The Meetings,

Austin Rules and Principles 18OCT2020

I have the new rules produced on 18 October 2020 also as you can see. How else would I know of the date they were accepted by Ratzu.

Now I can reveal all to the world and show the differences and changes he made if I must. I don’t care anymore period and I am growing tired of being told by sims I went to I am banned due to these blogs. I did nothing to any of them, yet it’s fine. I can practice D/s BDSM on other sims, in private and do so. I also do it in real life, unlike others who can only do so in Second Life. If Ratzu Darkstone wants me to stop blogging about him or his sim, he will have to ask me himself, politely, and apologize for his lies about me. Otherwise, I can write as I please on a private blog site I pay for, and that’s life folks. I scared no girls in Austin, nor did I create any trust issues in Austin Island. The only interaction I had with the girls of Austin, were for Assignments I did in the training program there, and private interactions with two of the girls there, that, remain private and will remain private.

Information abounds online and in Second Life about Dominance and Submission and BDSM, Bondage, Discipline,SadoMasochism. It can be found in Programs like Alt.com. Adultfriendfinder, Fetlife and numerous other web sites or web pages online. The internet is a large wide open information source for this purpose and for all information in general. Interestingly enough, what happens is people use the internet to gather information on this lifestyle, and then use it to create places to attract, prey upon and use and abuse women in general. One of the tenants of D/s BDSM, is Informed Consent. Informed Consent is having the full knowledge of what you are entering into, what it contains and pertains to, how it is done, and knowingly entering into it of your own and free accord. It also includes understanding it all.

Any online Website dealing with D/s BDSM, has clear warnings of it being adult in nature and about all it contains. The is not the case in Second Life, by Linden Labs on the web or internet. Second Life is a virtual world and I am sure they thought they would never have to face this issue when they came into being. Yet, people tend to create and use their imaginations and other resources they look up to create worlds that Second Life allows for one reason or another to exist on their platform amd servers. as Second life will tell all, they broke their platform into sections by ratings, and that should cover their liabilities in this matter.

Yet all is not well with the above premise or allowance or acts being done in these so called adult areas of Second Life and all know it too. Yet, Second Life, / Linden Labs does not react or do a thing about any of it, so as long as they run the virtual world they own, not much can be done to change it, or correct it. As they say the more the merrier in the world, because they make money on it.

The Adult section of Second Life, contains sexual sims, that include some of Dominance and Submission and BDSM also. Now, while this is what Second Life allows, it should be put under better protocols and rules in order to continue to exist in Second Life. All Adults using these areas, like those using gaming sims in Second Life should be required to have two forms of Identification on file, a credit card or payment method on file also. They should prove they are over the legal age limit in their State or place of residence also. Their address in real life should be recorded also. Adult behaviors include nudity, adult language, and the use of vulgarity at times and sexual acts, being done with pixels and in text. So in order to protect children as well as adults not wanting to roam into such areas, this should be covered.

That said, sexual areas, is where such sims as BDSM/ D/s sims should be placed under stricter rules and guidelines and watched more closely for abuse of women. Women end up forced or coerced into sexual scenes and more in Second Life and they have nowhere to turn to, to escape it, except to leave Second Life. another feature of Second Life is the ability to find or trace where someone is in Second Life, this should be stopped and shutdown. Tracking or stalking an individual in Second Life should not be allowed, period. I have had it happen to me and I am a man, so I can imagine how it would be for a woman. These are just some of the changes Second Life/ Linden Labs should make.

Now 2019 and 2020 have been learning times for me in more than one way, regarding people, and Second Life and Adult sims. What I learned is that people in Second Life are in it for different reasons of course, but, there are those in Second Life who do what they do, to take advantage, use and coherence and they abuse and discard. I have seen women damaged by these so called individuals, who call themselves Dominants/ Masters who run D/s BDSM sims. The first abuse or mistreatment is they advertise themselves and their sims as educational opportunities for the Lifestyle. I have seen many of them now, and many are based on a Story period, created by a woman a long time ago. The woman wrote said story to kept her lover’s interest who was a married man in the first place. While the story gets into the D/s BDSM lifestyle and portrays it in many aspects, it is just a story folks. The Story of O they are using is fictitious, fake, made up, and was written only for one purpose to keep the lover she wanted.

The Story, portrays one woman’s journey in the D/s BDSM lifestyle for the love of a man. A man who in short order after putting her into a Chateau in old time France, picks her up, uses her some more, and grows tired of her and passes her off to a second man. Now let’s start at that point, how many women want to be used, and made to get trained, thinking it was for the man they love, only to find out, she is being cast away and given to another man for his use? I would think an educated woman, who has self pride would rebell at this point and leave, but this O stays in the custody of the second man, who then not only rapes her, uses her and treats her like a plaything and belonging, giving her pain and punishment and demeaning her self-worth and self pride. He then, tortures her more and more to break her will and she does break, and gives in, ending up numb to all that has happened to her. So, she hangs onto to her second lover, for she has no place to go or run to. In the end he brands her, and sends her to a boat, belonging to a Commodore filled with guests at a party to be used by all the men aboard. She does so at his insistance of course and when done he realizes he no longer can punish her and discipline her in any way, because he loves her, but he knows he must release and get rid of her, at that point. The Story ends, with O, the woman in question, being released by the man, or in a second version asking to commit suicide and the man giving her permission to do so and she does. Now I ask, all submissive’s is this what you really want women, a man to pass you from one to another and then onto numerous men for their personal pleasure and fun, and then to be released and cast aside and told to go commit suicide? I would think any woman with a brain, self-worth, pride, would not go there. Which leads to the question of why some do?

The truth is, this doesn’t happen just because a woman is submissive and it’s what they do. Wrong. The women this happens to are those who were abused before, have low self worth, they have been humiliated and embarrassed before and have grown to accept it all. Damaged emotionally, Mentally or physically or all three, they can only get attention one way, by accepting this. When they get tired of it, or realize what they are doing, or what is happening to them, they escape or leave. The ones who stay in these situations and under the above conditions feel hopeless and lost and need direction, because they can’t find their own way.

I have heard the arguments made against what I say above in this article, like I am submissive because I am in charge all day at work, or I am submissive in nature it is just who I am. True you may be submissive in nature and like to be submissive in the bedroom or for sex, it does not mean you should be abused, beat upon, scared or emotionally damaged, just because you want to be loved, now does it mean, to be loved, you have to accept these conditions these Dominants put you under. No, it doesn’t. and maybe you think it’s the easier way to go because your submissive, so did other submissives who ended up committing suicide or being killed. So don’t think that.

Here is the truth, you can be submissive in your love life or everyday life all you wish, no one will knock you for it, it’s who you are. But you don’t need someone using you, abusing you, programing you for use by others, and you should retain all your personal rights at all times, to avoid what you don’t want done to you. No man just because he says he is a Dominant/Master or wears a tag in a Second Life sim saying he is one, should have the right to mistreat, abuse, control you mentally, physically or emotionally. if you don’t understand what I am telling you here, let me make it clear for all submissive women out there, the final decision is always your choice, make it clear, make it decisively, make it informed, remember a man who wants you for you, won’t not love you for being you, he won’t dump you on the side of the road or take advantage of your kinks, desires, needs, and likes, to use you or give you to another for use. He will accept you for being you, respect you and care of you, not just because you are submissive, but because of the inner you. He won’t force you to do gang bangs, or be publicly whipped either, if he cares for you. Stop and think about what I am saying submissive women, just because you are submissive in nature and in life doesn’t mean you need to let these men, use and abuse and mistreat you, for their own personal pleasures and desires. Sometimes, most times, these so called Dominants who run these sims in Second Life don’t care about what you really need as a Submissive woman, only what they need!

I do wish all, a Happy Holiday Season, no matter where you are, who you are. Please remain safe from Covid-19/ coronavirus, wear a mask, social distance. For the Holidays are coming, and all of us would like to survive them, so we can be with family and friends in the future.!

A couple of things have come to my attention since I left Austin Island Sim in Second Life that need said, to anyone who goes there.

Seems the Owner of said Austin Island Sim, Ratzu DarkStone is breaking Second Life’s rules and regulations himself. He Voice Verifies everyone who enters his sim if they apply there for membership, it’s against the TOS rules of Second Life period. Plus he steals people’s IP Addresses when he voice verifies you. He talks rules and regulations and more, but he breaks Second Life’s and Linden Labs Rules by doing it all.

Another thing about Ratzu Darkstone, he is a coward, and a phoney, Dominant too. The man made up a program but has no idea what real life D/s or BDSM is or how it operates. The Information he uses he stole off the internet and just re-worded for his own purposes is all. He talks about people being poly on his sim, when none really are. If he believed it, he would practice it himself, he doesn’t, he’s been with the same submissive woman since February of 2016, yet if you tell him you don’t believe in poly or harems, he will ban you from his sim. His world is totally make believe and fake and it’s sad that people get suckered into it. You have to hand it to him, he cons many people and gets away with it daily. he runs Initiations, that include 20 to 30 people watching as he whips a female avatar and then invites five male avatars to gang bang the female while they all watch. Five men at once, as he sits by and stares and watches the whole show. Sad, for a seventy some odd year old man, who is supposed to be an Officer of the Court, to be doing isn’t it.

He lacks morals and ethics! I still want to know how Second Life, Linden Labs allows this man to run a sim on their program and servers and get away with it all. He takes people’s IP Addresses when he lets you become a member on his sim, that’s illegal in and of itself. He knows it too, but will continue to do so, as long as he can get away with it.

I find it amazing, that a Lawyer out of Austin, Texas is running a BDSM D/s Sim and he is licensed by The State Of Texas to Practice Law! It is not like he isn’t old enough to know better, he is, he is in his seventies folks. Sadly, the man, is a lonely soul I guess, he can’t find a real life woman who will have him, so he hides in Second Life, playing with the minds of Submissive Women online, over the Internet.

Austin tracks your IP, and that my friends is against the law period, any invasion of your privacy by way of your computer or IP Address is illegal by law.

Is it illegal to trace an IP address? IP address is public information. In most cases, that IP address can’t be traced to the person’s name or other personal information. If by mistake personal info is posted online, it is the fault of the one who posted it, turning it into public info. No persons name will be disclosed by IP address companies. Under this law Ratzu Darkstone is breaking the laws of The Federal Government by taking your IP Address. Period. The only way you can take anyone’s IP Address is if it is for Business to Business reasons, not for personal use of a man in Second Life and his little Sim, Austin Island.

An IP address, by default, is nowadays somewhere between a street address and a mobile phone number. If you obtained someone’s IP with the intent to simply know their location that is an invasion of privacy. If you obtain that same IP with the intent of doing harm then the act of the lookup can be perceived as evidence to a crime. Lastly, if you obtain that same IP address with the intent to improve that someone’s personal well being, then I could argue that your intentions are good. Though your intentions are good, that does not change the fact that someone’s privacy may be violated. Be careful how you use the obtained secondary information about a known IP address, public and private.

Ratzu Darkstone uses a program to grab people’s IP Address when he interviews and Voice Verifies an incoming member on his sim. He is committing some very serious criminal acts here, and he’s a Lawyer out of Austin, Texas doing this, too.

Linden Labs needs to look into this, investigate it, and act!.

While I was a member of Austin Island, run by Ratzu Darkstone, I brought some points up before being shown the door. The first point I argued and asked about was the policy of all submissives having to kneel for all Dominants on his sim. My argument was simple, even submissive women have choice, and should be able to choose who they serve and how and that includes who they kneel for. The reply I received was the submissives want to be told to kneel, they look for it, maybe so folks, but not under force of rules of a sim. Especially a sim that tells all it’s educating all in the D/s BDSM Lifestyle. But that is just the beginning of how Ratzu Darkstone, uses his Austin Island sim to break submissive women down, emotionally, mentally, and use them for his own purposes. His little program of training, breaks down and rebuilds submissive women in the image he wants them to be period. In the end, when they reappear from his Chateau in Austin, they are mimics and repeat the same lines, the same answers and act like each other. They come into his sim individuals, with their own thoughts and ideas, but when he finishes with them they are like carbon copy bots. he says he is protecting the girls on his sim, he isn’t let one argue a point with him and they get banned too. He has banned both sexes for different reasons, men and women. All reasons he has fabricated to get rid of those who don’t fit his sim.

But that is just the beginning of how Ratzu Darkstone runs and operates his little Austin Island Sim in Second life. What happens is because he trains all who enter his sim, to fit into his sim, any resistance is not allowed and the ones who don’t conform must leave or be banned.

While I was in Austin Island, I disagreed with how his program worked, how his rules were written and in the end crossed swords with Ratzu and his people. But, many think, I hate BDSM/ D/s that is far from true. Yet if I hated BDSM D/s like Ratzu and his people want the world to believe, why is he the only sim and person I write about? Ratzu Darkstome or his people can’t even answer that question really, they will say I am sick, angry or just a nut, all false and they know it. Ratzu Darkstone even told me when he banned me, he wished I was nicer to him and his sim. It was not to be that way because, I don’t believe in his way of breaking down submissive women online who are vulnerable, susceptible and emotionally or mentally damaged or disabled and using them to serve him and his men in all ways sexually online in text and pixel sex and acts of BDSM and D/s. I also don’t like liars.

It’s the preying on these submissive women that really is sad. Using someone that way is sad, by a man who claims to be a Dominant. And here is the biggest question for these submissive women who stumble into or end up in his sim, who is Ratzu Darkstone to tell you or anyone else that you are not submissive enough or not dominant enough and that you must be driven deeper into submission?

What right does he have to put submissive women through a initiation ceremony that includes public humiliation, embarrassment, public whippings and even a gang bang in front of 30 or so people on his sim before you enter his Chateau, for his other teachings? Why do you think part of his training for submission is a period of silence? Can you answer those questions, I don’t think so folks.

No I don’t hate the Story of O either folks, but I do understand what the purpose of the story was for the author and her intentions. She wrote the story to hang onto her lover who was older than her and she accomplished that. Here is a kicker though for all of you who praise and believe in The Story of O as the bible for your sims and training I remind all O was used first by Rene, as her first lover and then given away to Stephan like apiece of property, if someone loves you they don’t dump you like a piece of property. secondly let’s talk about Stephen in the story. He accepts, O and then commences to change her further, by torture and physical punishment, and when he gets her to a point she does as he wants and likes, he pushes, even further. Branding her and feeding her to the Commodore and his boat full of friends, for their personal use. An official orgy scene, where she is used by all who want her body with no care or worry about who she is, as a person or human being. Now, at that point Stephan decides he can no longer control her or discipline her, because he loves her, but also knows she is no longer bound to him. So, when O has had enough he releases her, in one story ending she just leaves, in the second ending of the story she asks to commit suicide and he says ok, and she does. That’s what you do with a woman you love? , I think not folks.

Here is the point of this whole thing, The Story of O, is a fantasy, a made up story, intended for the entertainment of the lover of the Author only. It has been taken at a value it should not be by these Sim Owners like Ratzu Darkstone and turned into a program for the control of submissive women period. Sadly, it has been accepted by many, and in the end, it will only harm those women who enter it and get used by it. It breaks their spirit, their pride, it breaks them and humiliates them, embarrasses them, and in the end gets them lost in feelings they don’t fully comprehend or understand, destroying who each one is as an individual. Once a person loses their individuality, they lose themselves period and act like sycophants. zombies, until at some point, they are tossed aside like O was and fall apart.

This is not furthering BDSM D/s or Educating Submissives or Dominants, this is using people period and then discarding them when they don’t live up to what he wants them to be. So, if you stay in Austin Island and under Ratzu Darkstone’s control, you need to stop and ask, what is Ratzu Darkstone getting out of it all, and what is he paying all that money for,to keep his sim going monthly, what is he getting out of it all, no one spends money like water, to keep a sim going without a reason folks or a purpose or to get something out of it, would you? What is a Lawyer from Austin, Texas doing this for folks, you tell me! And he does so even in America’s biggest recession since the 1930 and 40s, time are rough.

Oh one more thing here to say concerning this. While I was in Austin Island I asked about all of the above I mentioned the kneeling bit, the public humiliation, the whippings and gang bangs and why they couldn’t be done privately. No answer was ever given and I was told not to talk disparagingly about Austin it’s ways or it’s people. Sadly it all continues today, but, I also know Austin Island and Ratzu Darkstone have had to change its rules since I left. I have the new rules also, the changes wll surprise all.

As the Holiday Season now gets underway, worldwide and we all face the coronavirus/ Covid-19 and work overtime to survive, I want to Wish all a Happy Holiday Season. for no matter my differences with people in Second Life, or anywhere else, I do not wish harm from the virus or anything else. I do wish all peace on earth and good will. As we hunker down in the World to survive the covid-19/ coronavirus and move forward, we must remember to use Masks, Use distancing of at least six feet apart, and only shop as needed to survive.

In the near future I will show all, the new rules of Austin Island, against the old rules of Austin Island and the changes when I do. I will also discuss, how the D/s BDSM community fears anyone who speaks out about what they do and how they band together to save themselves, at least that is what they think they are doing. When in fact by backing one man and his sim, the rest of the D/s BDSM community, shows themselves not to be teachers, or leaders, but followers. Even though they choose to protect themselves from me, by banning me from their sims, the other BDSM D/s Sim Owners in Second Life do so out of fear, only of me. They think I will name their sims and give away their programs and rules and more for public consumption. Don’t worry folks, it won’t happen, I have no beef with you others, and I understand why you do what you do, you believe your protecting your sims from me. That’s fine to do, but I point out the fact in all the blogs I have written on BDSM D/s in Second Life only one man is mentioned and one sim. That in and of itself should show you, this is not a vedetta, against D/s BDSM itself.

I am sure, there will be some in a sim I was recently on, that will wonder where I went and why. Well, I wont get into it, except to say, I was banned by it for blogs I wrote about another sim. Now that is fine and I have no objection to it, they have, this right, to do so.

Never will I argue with someone in the right. Yet, it does make me wonder just how tight and why these D/s BDSM hang onto one another, when one drags the rest down with it.

That said, let’s move on in life, for writing is what I do, and I do write about many subjects and books and poems too. As I said before, some subjects are dear to my heart and others are not.

First and foremost, life is ongoing and we have too short a time to hang on one thing or one subject for too long. The world is in trouble from coronavirus and Trump and nuclear weapons and climate change too. So Second Life is not my primary thing to worry about in life. I have a wife with cancer and myself in real life to care for first and foremost. So Second Life will always be just a place to go for music and to role play and play games period. It is not real folks, and many use it as a crutch to survive reality, I don’t.

Soon, I shall be writing more, books, poems, maybe stories and blogs I am sure. It is me, it is what I do, I don’t need anything in Second Life, just fun.

As to Second Life and my blogs, I write about what I experience in it for fun and to make a point, it’s not reality in anyway, just a virtual world for fun and games and that’s the point in general. Will I be attacking any sims in Second Life, in the BDSM D/s area of the Adult Section? NO, not except for the one I have already, why, because disrespect is not the way to treat anyone.

Each day, information pours forth about people and sims built in Second Life, their purposes, or styles and what their intentions are, so I look and listen and write about it all. Some I have dabbled in and even joined as a member and then ended up out of either by choice or because I write my blogs. It’s ok, for Second Life is just a virtual world, a game and that’s it. Anyone who takes it more serious then that, well just has a problem is all. Just click the x in the upper right corner and it’s gone that easy.

Onward now, we can get back to my prior discussions on BDSM and D/s in Second Life. many of these sims built for the purpose of either education or teaching of this lifestyle rely upon a book/ movie, called the Story of O. Let’s look at it and understand more is what I say.

The Story of O, an erotic novel by Anne Desclos, first published in French (Histoire d’O, 1954) under the pen name Pauline Reage, itself a pen name for Dominique Aury, a French writer and translator who was a respected member of the literary establishment but who gained her greatest fame in 1994 when it was confirmed that she was the author, under the pseudonym of “Réage,” of this erotic best-seller. It was then revealed that Aury was in fact yet another pseudonym for Desclos. The French government brought charges of obscenity against the book’s publisher in 1955, and a ban on publicizing the book or selling it to minors lasted until 1967. The controversial work has been frequently criticized by feminists as a glorification of the abuse of women. The protagonist’s name “O,” in the opinion of many, reflects (among other things) the objectification of women.

SUMMARY: “Réage”—a name invented specifically for The Story of O—was apparently told by her lover, the literary publisher Jean Paulhan, who was an admirer of the sadistic Marquis de Sade, that no woman could ever write an erotic novel. The Story of O was her response. This work, one of the most thorough and challenging ripostes ever made in a lovers’ quarrel, is distinguished less by its plot-about a beautiful fashion photographer called O who is forced to become a sex slave to a secret society of men and who is beaten and branded and eventually coaxed into enticing other women to become sex slaves—than by the manner of its prose, in particular the control exercised by Desclos in her depiction of O’s private musings and reflections during and after her submission to acts of torture and humiliation.

The intense erotic effect is achieved by a kind of mismatch between language and psychological content. If the language were made to imitate the full violence of O’s mental and physical suffering, it would often be shattered and reduced to an incoherent scream. Instead, the prose is constrained by Desclos and proceeds unruffled and at an unvarying pace through a series of degraded sexual episodes, leading eventually to the disappearance of O behind yet another mask, that of an owl. The most tightly fitted mask is style itself.

The Story of O is a shocking novel and at the same time a masterfully boring one. The deep erotic joy of suffering, it tells us, is rooted in the terror of boredom.

Now the above is all about Story of O, and not written by me, but can be found on the internet at numerous locations and websites. A few facts to mention here and now that are not included fully or clearly in the above. The author wrote said story for one reason and one reason only, to keep a lover who was married from leaving her, to hang on to him as long as she could. It is a story generated and written with just that purpose in mind and is a work of the imagination. At no time was it ever intended by The Author, to be used a guidline, or program for training submissives online in Second Life. Yet, people have taken it that way, and use it that way, and in the end, use it to control female submissives and train men to be Dominants. While it is a common scheme and act in these adult sims of Second Life to do this, those who do it, are really using these women, to fulfill their own sexual fantasies is all, in text in Second Life.

The Story of O has two endings for a reason folks. The Author made sure to point both possibilities out, for good reason.

While Second Life shall not stop this practice at anytime, because it helps to keep their Second Life Program going and profitable, is it right to have it happening, on the Internet which is public to the world in all ways? This is just one question that needs answered by Second Life and Linden Labs and the new Owners of Second Life also. As I see it, at some point, a individual can involve legal authorities in an investigation into said practices. Sadly, it seems, Second Life and Linden Labs have failed to look into certain practices like this.

I left or was banned from a sim called Austin Island run by and owned by Ratzu Darkstone, after I got angry one day and upset over personal matters and over attacks by people on his sim. When I approached a senior member of his sim for an interview I had to do, I was told not to disparish the member of said sim to other members and told to let it go.

Upon that decision and at that point I had more than one thing going on in my life. I had fought to almost completing Tyro-Master on the sim in question, minus three small steps. But I had also and have also been dealing with the cancer my wife suffers from, at home. I reached a boiling point at that time and while standing in the sim, I called out the Member who told me to stop talking about others publically and then asked to be placed in Alumni status, it was granted quickly.

That was fine until a female member asked me to try to come back and return as a Dom candidate instead of a Master one. When I applied to return to full status, I knew I was in trouble, first it was only 12 hours later, and secondly, Ratzu Darkstone was immediately concerned and resistant to that happening. At that point, I had filed to return as the female asked me to, on the basis of trying to complete the program. But, Ratzu did not budge period, saying, I broke trust.

I stayed in Alumni status from April 14th, to July 9th in Austin, visiting the sim for dances and to sit and chat with people. When I awoke on July 10th, and logged into Second lIfe online, I was noticed by way of Instant Message I was banned from Austin Island By Ratzu Darkstone the owner. what occurred on July 9th, was a discussion about the poly lifestyle of BDSM/ D/s and started by a female member. She stated she did not believe in multiple partners and believed in one on one relationships. I agreed and had said. I don’t like multiply partners either and I don’t believe in harems.

Now what excuse was given for banning me by Ratzu Darkstone on July 10th was, as he put it, I scared the girls of Austin. They had been saying so for a while, false. Never scared any of them. The fact is I only did what was required of me for the assignments given to me with the girls of Austin period. With the exception of two girls who I had fun with on the side within the rules of Austin. This angered me because it was a lie and a false statement by Ratzu Darkstone and showed utter disrespect of me, for he didn’t have the gall or balls to ask me personally or tell me so I could correct it, if I did. He had given others chances before me at numerous times and refused to do the same for me. So, that was it for Austin Island and Ratzu Darkstones lil world, than I wrote my first blog and he read it. I refused to take it down and he hated it all. That began my blog writing in earnest. Then all the readers came.

Then, Ratzu Darkstone decided he didn’t like the blogs and decided to file a complaint with Second Life/ Linden Labs regarding me, calling it harrassment, and theft of his intellectual property. I never harassed him in Second Life period and secondly never stole any property from him or his sim, all information I used in my blogs was freely given to me by him, of his own volition, can’t steal what is given to you, can you? He got with some land owner who also owns the land a club I was Djing at and pressured them to force me to take down my blogs or fire me as a DJ. I did take down the blogs at the request of the sim I Djed on, because it was about to affect them. So, I now, went back to writing blogs, period.

Seems the blog writing is following me around Second Life and I am being not allowed in BDSM/D/s Lifestyle sims now, due to them. So my question is this, why when what I wrote does not mention any other sim or person in Second Life? Any other BDSM or D/s sim I entered I have been respectful and nice to all and polite, yet in less than 24 hours later, I get booted or banned. Why?

I can’t answer the above questions, but I can continue to be me and write my blogs. More will be coming regarding Ratzu Darkstone and his ways in Second Life and Austin Island. as to any other sim I entered regarding BDSM and D/s in Second Life, I have no objection to them in anyway or what they do or how they do it. I can’t blame the people who own the sims, who ban me or won’t let me enter their programs, for they are listening to it all and wondering will I attack them too, I won’t, they didn’t disrespect me, in anyway.

I believe in D/s BDSM, I believe it should be of free will and choice of those who participate in it fully. I also believe no woman should be forced to kneel or behave in a way in which she is not making a consentable, knowledgeable decision to do. It is one thing to be into BDSM D/s, it is another to force it, coerce someone into it, or to try to convince someone against their beliefs or will. That’s not what the lifestyle is about.

Ok A Few of the Short Stories i have Written are here for today’s blog. the link are. I may start writing a new story soon, I am still working on a process and a look at one, I may consider doing. Time shall tell. In The meantime my Author Page is here: https://www.amazon.com/William-McCurrach/e/B00CQMGTSM?ref_=dbs_p_ebk_r00_abau_000000

The current status of America’s Government is a question right now with Trump denying he lost the election of 2020 and the Republicans failing to believe he lost. Certain articles are being written about only 20 Republicans believing Biden won the election. Folks, let me tell you something, when someone gets beat by over 7 million votes in the popular vote and then gets beat in the Electoral College Vote, 306 to 232, it’s time to believe Trump has to go. He can claim fraud and more, whatever he wishes, it does not change the facts, Biden/ Harris won over Trump/ Pence.

As the coronavirus continues to claim more lives and spreads like wildfire in America, we have a President who has given up his caring about the virus, how many die or anything else, except to argue, he won an election he didn’t and can’t change.

America needs leadership, it needs someone to stand up and help us fight the virus and to set up the dispensing of the vaccine as soon as it is ready, as fast as possible. America needs a President who cares about starving Americans, who have no homes on our streets or those of us without jobs out there. Sadly, Trump has no care for anyone or about anything but himself.

Now what about this 2.7 million dollars or more, Trump has collected he says for his reelection? Why are people sending a President who lost the election money still and why is he asking for money still? It’s over folks believe me, it’s over so if your sending money to Trump, you know he is just collecting it to use as he pleases, and it will never apply to any re-election bid or be declared on his taxes or anywhere else. So basically he is defrauding Americans and taking your money for his own personal use, you do know that, right, Trump Supporters.?

I am waiting for January 20th, 2021 when he is forced to leave The Presidency and all of its protections. He is going to get hit with criminal charges, libel charges and civil cases left and right and he knows it. His kids will be hit with charges and civil cases also, you can’t defraud the public, collect cash and walk away with it and not pay a price. I hope someone tells them that! The facts are too many criminal actions have taken place in the last four years.

The use of The Trump Hotels for the reelection campaign and the amount paid to the Trump Organization for it’s use was absorbent and high rates no one should have been charged. They deposed Ivanka Trump Kushner over it already and she was cooperative they said, but they also said she knew it was an overcharge and did nothing to stop it or change it. Sadly, there will be either civil or criminal charges for it and she must know that and so does Donald Trump himself. How many more charges there can be against Donald J. Trump and his offspring is yet to be told, but you can bet they have piled up in the last four years.

Trump’s cases brought to the courts in each state he has brought them have been thrown out one by one for lack of evidence and no basis in each case and more. He has no legal leg to stand on regarding the election and his lose in it and he knows it. He refuses to concede the election and he doesn’t have to by law, but he does have to get out of office on time for Biden and Harris to take over and he knows it. So what is making him keep at his persistence to say he won and Biden lost? Fear is the answer here folks, he is afraid, he knows once he is out of office, the charges and criminal cases and civil cases will come fast, hard and fully after him. He fears he or his children or both will end up in a prison or jail cell. Period. And No Donald J. Trump you can not Pardon yourself, it won’t fly in the courts.

I want all the Republicans to stop and think, what they are doing to enable Trump in his actions and words and his inability to run the Government these days. Does McConnell and the Republican Party realize what they are doing to the Constitution, The Country’s defense and and Intelligence abilities and our position in the World today? By Enabling Trump in all his refusal to do a peaceful turnover of the Presidency, the damage will be beyond repair and destroy the foundation of the American Republic and Democracy.

The Republican Party will be responsible for the damage and our inability to recover from it once Trump is gone. So, you Republicans doing so, should hide, and hang your heads in shame. Period!

Before I get into the differences between Real Life and Second life in the lifestyles mentioned in the title, I need to make one thing perfectly clear to all who read this. They are really two different lifestyles not one and they can exist and do exist in real life as separates, not always combined as many Second Life sim owners wish, all to believe.

First, let’s define each, for all to see the difference. BDSM, stands for Bondage, Discipline, Sado Masochism. Which means the act of binding someone, disciplining them by spanking and implements, and causing pain for pleasure or the release of endorphins for pleasure by giving or receiving pain. This can be done without being in a D/s Relationship folks and many do it, daily.

Domination and Submission, is a different item. Domination is the act of controlling through physical or mental force, another human being who wishes to be dominated and is submissive in nature and wants it. One who willing gives up control in a relationship to someone they believe is mentally or physically superior, or has more knowledge of sexual experiences, to reach a satisfying ending of orgasm for both partners. It is also a way of life many live by, in marriage and relationships, because one partner needs to be submissive and the other dominate, to fulfill themselves and make themselves whole, in all ways sexually, mentally or physically.

What is wrong with those in Second Life who run these so called D/s BDSM sims is simple, they teach that both go hand in hand at all times and they don’t, or don’t have to necessarily. As I stated each can be done on its own for it’s own intended purpose by any couple who happen to be submissive and dominate to one another.

Point in fact is the different levels for Dominants in the lifestyles. Many sims in Second Life will let some men go for the position or title of Dominant period, others want them to go further and become Masters. Now a Dominant is just a person who prefers to be in charge and has basic knowledge of the lifestyles discussed, A Master is supposed to know all, including the giving and receiving of pain for pleasure or discipline. Both learn how to use implements and toys and how to bind someone. The line is really thin if you look closely, but the point I am making is this, there is a thin line and one can perform and be a part of a D/s relationship and not use BDSM, and vice versa. Few realize this in Second lIfe so they automatically combine both, in trying to train people and educate people in the lifestyles mentioned here. It is not necessary. Period.

Next, those who attempt to teach what they do not know themselves, because they have never lived it in real life, should not do so. You can’t fake it, you can’t just create something and make it sound like your educating someone, regarding it, either. When you copy and paste and take material off the internet, rebox it and try to use it as your own, you get caught folks, people do look for themselves, just telling you all that.

Lastly here, I have no objection to Domination/ Submission as a Lifestyle, nor do I object to Bondage, Discipline, Sadomasochism either. As long as all, is with informed consent and knowledge, of what one is getting into and why. Old saying many ignore, when dabbling in new areas, or just dabbling in areas that can be unsafe, know thyself before you do anything. The best advice to give anyone, is simple, know thyself before you attempt to know anyone else or do anything in the lifestyle. Access your desires, your knowledge, your needs and wants and balance them to who you are. Make sure you are safe, sane, and give consent or get consent from whom you are doing it with. Never use equipment you have never used before without guidance and if needed, training. Play Safe, Live Safe and always know your safe words and how to stop. If someone does not stop, when you use your safe words, then leave them as fast as possible and seek help to stay away from them, while you heal or recover.
