Giving others control to get you naked.

[Anonymous]

Sounds good. It crossed my mind a while ago, when we were voting for models to strip, that we could be the ones having to get naked. If we go ahead, would it be ok to send the pictures via personal messaging on this system instead of email? How many participants would we need to make it worth doing? It would just about work with two participants but would be more fun with a few more. (If someone was the only participant, people could vote “get ’em off” or “keep ’em on” – if it was me, I think I’d be on very safe ground!!)

Now I’m starting to think about forfeits for the loser, but maybe that would be a step too far, at least for the first game.

And speaking of having to strip, I see it’s 5 days since anyone else posted…

[Ed]

Sorry for my lack of activity here, I’ve had a busy few days.

I think that three people would be a working minimum for the challenge, two would work but 3+ would make it more interesting (and harder to predict). I’d be hoping for four participants.

Forfeits are probably better left to a future version. I’m already worried it’s not simple enough for a first run as it is.

Can you send pictures via personal messages here? I didn’t think it supported attachments. You can send them on Skype easily.

[Anonymous]

Ah, no. It allows embedding of pictures from web links but not attached from local jpegs.

[Anonymous]

I wish we could send pictures via messages.

[Ed]

That would be nice but BuddyPress (the engine that runs this site) doesn’t support that.

[RRos]

As long as it’s okay if my pictures are below the neck, I’m in. Been wondering about the whole “lack of control” element. Just let me know when you plan on starting so I can take as fresh of pictures as possible, and what email to send them to.

On a slightly different note, I see that the Prof has been recently active, so I don’t need to strip to post this, but merely a few hours off from having to lose everything down to my socks, phew. Maybe next time…

[Anonymous]

I should have waited for a few more hours!

[Ed]

Maybe you could wear a mask, @rros338? We’re all so used to them now that I doubt anyone would think it was strange.

[RRos]

I could wear a mask, that works. I have an old Masquerade mask too, so full face coverage. And Prof, that’s part of the fun of this idea of yours, no idea what I’m opening the site to. Certainly a better kind of nervous excitement than the madness of the US election right now. Even the fact that I feel slightly disappointed at not having to strip something is fascinating.

[RRos]

Well, looks like Ed has been busy, as he has the top comment for the last 4 days, which I do believe means something substantial for me from our dear Professor. I am currently writing this wearing nothing but some slippers for the cold floor, one more day and I would have lost even those, overdressed as I was for the cold weather. This may be arguably the weirdest feeling, as I feel both dressed and naked right now, and very very cold. But I can’t say I don’t enjoy this feeling immensely too. Very freeing and a great way to wake up on a Sunday morning. I definitely understand the appeal now.

[Anonymous]

Congratulations on your new experience. Enjoy the feeling while it’s still a novelty! (And, yes, it’s funny how even just slippers can make us feel dressed – I wonder if our feet send us important signals about our environment.)

[Ed]

Does that mean we have two participants?

Anyone else?

[Ed]

Four participants would be my favourite choice – it makes the page layout easy!

[Ed]

I was hoping for more enthusiasm about this. Anything I can do to make it more appealing?

[Martin]

Sorry, not been in recently. Happy to throw my hat (and anything else) in the ring….

[Ed]

Cool, @martin. Does that bring us up to 3 participants?

[Chris]

Hi, this sounds like fun.  I’m new here, and this would be an excellent and easy ice-breaker.

[Anonymous]

Welcome Chris 🙂

[Ed]

Hi @tigger121. Would you be more interested in participating or voting for those who do?

[Chris]

Hi Ed, sorry, I wasn’t very clear, I’d love to participate primarily, though I’d probably vote too is allowed, I’m guessing the voter turnout will not be on the scale of the US election.

[Ed]

Wow, if the turnout was that big, I could commit to running this community fulltime for the rest of my life! We wouldn’t need Community Supporters ever again!

Oh, and participants are most definitely allowed to vote too!

[Chris]

Cool, I hope this is as much fun as it sounds, do let me know what you need, do I need to confirm I am me first, get verified?

[Ed]

No need to be verified for this one, although if I do it right, then I can use this to verify a few people.

[alex]

Hi all

id be happy to join in on this too.

[Ed]

Cool, so that means we have @profgreen, @rros338, @martin, @tigger121 and @alex72393 willing to take part?

If any of those are wrong, or I’ve missed anyone, please let me know soon!

 

I’ve already given almost all the details in this thread, but I’ll produce a page later today with all the details in one place and my plan for how to proceed. If we can, I’d like to start this early next week, assuming everyone can get the photos (specification to follow soon) in the next few days. More to follow on that.

[Ed]

Sorry it’s late, but here’s the description of the required photos: link.

I will be producing a page for the voting mechanism imminently. If possible, I’d like to get things started by the weekend.

[Redhead]

Happy to join if you’re still accepting pics?

[Ed]

Yes, it hasn’t begun yet.

[Ed]

Just so everyone knows, I’ve updated the instructions page here.

Also I want to open the event to voting on Thursday morning so I need those photos etc. in by Wednesday evening.

[alstaff]

Since I’m back and still in time for this, let’s celebrate by joining in.

[Ed]

Excellent, @Alstaf. Good to have you back and great to have you in the event.

[Sangroid5k]

Love be in it.  Yes!

[Chris]

I have thrown my caution (and my clothing) to the wind, photos submitted, I hope, to Ed, (if I got the email address right, otherwise someone’s in for an unpleasant surprise!), good luck to fellow contestants/volunteers/victims.

[Steve]

Just sent me entry pictures.

[Ed]

Still aiming to kick off the whole event tonight.

[Sangroid5k]

Sent mine to webmaster@nakedexperiment.com. That ok?

[Ed]

I got them. The address I gave was ed@nakedexperiment.com but the webmaster address forwards to that one anyway.
