GiGi__1. Gigi saying hi and thanks

Hi again, Achat Community.

Having now attained two full years of Achat membership, I wish to take a moment to reflect on my experience here.

I have just re-read my introduction from two years ago, and not surprisingly I still agree with most of my initial observations.

So, here is what I have to offer, on a number of topics, reflecting on my two-years of play:

(I welcome your feedback.)

Why Do We Do This?

For some, it is emotional candy.  For me, and I think for most of the players who stay and stay and stay after the initial trial, it is an amusing diversion.  Also, once you establish a few friendships, you grow to appreciate those friendships, even treasure them.

Being an animated character, I have limitations.  I can't fist-bump you, and I can't wave to you from across the street.  I can't blow my nose.  I can't smile.  I can't sit on the bench.  However as a cartoon girl, I have so many freedoms.  I can engage in absurdly casual sex with a limitless number of partners. 

Taking the game too seriously can be problematic.  We all have to be prepared to handle the emotional repercussions that can arise when we get in to a relationship that gets “real” even though we are only cartoons.  (More than a couple of times, my real person has cried real tears.)

Cartoon Terrorism

The most upsetting occurrence I have witnessed in two years is the taunting, threatening, intimidating, and terrorizing of players by online bullies.  These dark episodes caused me deep pain.

The administrators of the game seem to have remedied this situation.  I extend my profound thanks.  I recall that some players were impatient, even upset with the game administrators for failing to respond decisively and immediately to every complaint.  My observation is that even if it took some time, the effectiveness of the remediation is what's most important.

Surprise!

The most significant improvement the Achat administrators have implemented in the past two years was to put the letter W on my name-tag.  Initially, I disliked it.  Soon, however, I saw why they did it, and it improved the game, enormously.

I admit that I am all too readily mesmerized by long eyelashes, rosy cheeks, and an ample bosom.  So, when a stranger with those attributes gives me some attention, talks to me, and gives an invitation, I am all to eager to accept.  Then, in private, it happens, “Surprise!”

What can I do?  Ahh, ya got me.  I totally fell for it.  I see.  Oh crazy you!  I see you are actually a boy who takes hormone shots so you can have a nice set of boobs to complement your testicles.  Yeah, yeah, great joke.  I am so amused.  You totally got me.

Thank you, thank you, Achat masters.  Thank you for recognizing what an obnoxious problem this was and for giving us the option to save a lot of playing time by avoiding the surprise.

Making Great Cartoon Porn

I steadfastly embrace this mode of online engagement.  This is such significant departure from the experience that we had in the early 2000s when IRC had become a phenomenon.

3-d games now have become pervasive, (significantly more of them being not pornographic).  Still, however, for people who continue to prefer the text experience there are about a quadrillion online platforms that are text-based.  Being here on an animated 3-d platform affords us an experience which I find to be very much preferable.  Therefore, my request to anyone who, um, “engages” with me: please cool it with all the chatter!

When you have something to place in to my chat window, let it be “Yummm what a fragrant, warm, wet, delicious pussy!”

What not to say: “firmly pressing my tongue and lips all over your welcoming wetness”.

So, what's the difference??  The first statement is relaying your feelings!  declaring how the experience is affecting you.

The second statement is merely reiterating the information that I already am getting visually from the animation !!!

It is a visual game!  That is why I enjoy it.

It is not just redundant but also annoying to be getting a running text narrative which re-states what I already know, from watching the characters.

It is a better experience just to do it, not to talk talk talk about what we are doing.

Also, if the action that we see is punctuated with a small measure of “mmmmm aaaaah, oh yes oooh don't stop”, that would be sooooo much nicer than to have to read “now I am doing this, now I am doing this, now I am doing this, …”

Hey, want to Role-Play?

Ahem.  Don't be a moron.  Every thing that we do here is a role-play.

What are you wearing?  (etc.)

I am an avatar.   Do not attempt to use me as a messenger to get in contact with my mistress, seated at the computer desk.   I have opined on this topic elsewhere in the Forum.

3-d Animated Chat Is a Business

Achat Administration has frequently been criticized for lack of adequate engagement with their users.  Having given this subject some thought, they are right.  I agree with the administration's posture of staying away from community affairs, except when their involvement becomes absolutely necessary.  It is better that we resolve issues, when possible, within the community.

It is unseemly for a newbie to whine at the administrators about the game's shortcomings.  It will never be perfect.

I agree completely with the whines about the engineers having taken away capabilities which once existed.  When two premiums are together, all the poses ought to be available and be accessible by either partner.

They have to collect enough income to keep the servers operational 365 days.  Enhancements to make the game experience more pleasant are always welcome.  They do, of course, have to make money in order to continue operating.  Just please don't complain about the cost of any game offerings.  If the item is too costly, do not buy it.

Gamers

Some people actually think that this is a competitive event.  My opinion of course is that you completely miss the point, if you sense the need to outcompete others for a high number of likes.  I'll be polite and trade likes with you, if you ask.  However, I think it's a frivolous waste of energy.   I do not care how many likes you have nor how many I have.

Thanks, everyone.  Be safe and have fun.  Love, Gigi

Thank you so much, Lydia.

Thank you Cassianna!

Thank you Venus!

You ladies are the greatest!
