I breezed thru the post saw haircut, contract, DM. In essence the more I read the lamer it got. So I may have skipped over that part. A contract is between the parties that sign it not a third party. Now perhaps if it was some sort of very risky edge play then the DM might need some sort of release, but a hair cut not so much. ppl do that all the time in public barber shops around the world. Why in the world would you think you'd need a contract.

So instead of saying to whomever mr smith is gonna cut my hair. You instead have a contract drawn up"to ease the minds of others"??? Does this CS person not speak or sumptin? re the statement I highlited. It a freaking hair cut how much reassurance could anyone over the age of 5 need? I saw the pict someone siting calm in a chair.

I suspect my reading skills are fine it's your writing skills that need work. I get my hair cut all the time what in the world would make you think I need a contract??? What the hell am i missing here?

I think you're wrong on this one.  What you are seeing as a haircut, I'm seeing as a form of a resistance play scene that's being held at a public dungeon.  Even though the parties agreed beforehand that the scene was consensual, I'm guessing that there was a good probability that there was going to be some struggle involved, some fighting back, and some shouts of protests once the scene started.  There's no better time to make the DMs aware in advance of what was going to happen that evening.

People may get haircuts all of the time, but when's the last time you saw a grown adult kicking, screaming, and trying to get away in a barber shop?

See your making my point for me. I totally agree that once the bitch slapping starts the DM should be made aware beforehand. A conversation between DM and the parties involved makes complete sense, a contract between the players not so much.

Looking at the photo It doesn't appear to be any resistance. Furthermore any DM hears it getting out of hand contract, or not it would not prevent the DM from stopping the scene. The point I am making is, it's up the DM NOT the players.

Case in point. Both parties sign a contract that I'm going to knock your teeth out. Do you really think a DM would agree to that?

Nothing more frustrating than having a good reply all typed up and the computer eating it. 

First, your hypothetical doesn't work. There's a difference between a scene where resistance is going to happen and one that is going to intentionally require medical care. 

I don't know CS personally, so I can't say how her demeanor would be upon arriving at the club knowing this was the plan.  Not everybody is going to be especially talkative when they know what is about to happen.  If she had a lot of anxiety about the scene that was gong to be conducted, she may not have been especially gabby and the contract would have been a good way for the DM to understand what they were going to do.  It would have given the opportunity for CS to give simple yes and no answers if the DM wanted to verify her underlying consent. 

What hasn't been talked about on this thread (and every DM should consider, in My opinion) that in a public club, the DMs have to be aware of these kinds of scenes coming up, if for no other reason than how the tourists are going to react.  While you, VC, or Myself would understand that, as long as somebody's not calling out "red" that the scene is probably under control, somebody not familiar with resistance play leading to things like, "no, don't do that, please, please stop" being said, doesn't mean that they want the scene pulled.  The DMs have to deal with them as well as the actual scene going on.

So you play the age card assuming incorrectly i might add that because someone is younger they cannot communicate effectively. Im not sure about you but by the time I was outta high school I had a decent vocabulary. Hell if I remember right I could even string a couple sentences together.

So you tell me who the moron is here??? Me for thinking that she has trust issues cuz she has to have a signed fucking contract to get a hair cut REALLLY???? or YOU saying perhaps she cant verbalize the need/ desire, want WhatFuckingEver cuz she is too young. Keep in mind you gotta be over 18 or 21 to log on here.

Truly you can't be serious. I got a laff outta your post cuz it was so ridiculous.
