Visitors

Visitors are welcome to wander around the stable and visit the ponies. The only thing we ask of visitors is to respect the theme of the sim and it's regular residents.

  • Locked items stays locked, even if you could unlock them.
  • Don't cheat around locked doors.
  • Don't cheat around Mare Hearing, IM or other restrictions.
  • Don't move livestock or other submissives out of the sim. Not with RLV, not by coercion or any other means.


The Group Tags and Roles

Everybody should be wearing the appropriate group tag for their current role. This doesn't necessarily mean only at the sim, you are welcome to spread the word about sNr gridwide as well.

  • The Neutral Tags and Roles
    • sNr Stables Guest
      This is the group tag that every member of the Stones N Rubber Stables group has, it should only be used as a transitional tag until you have the appropriate tag for your role.
      'Door Opener' is not a role as such and not accompanied by a group tag, it just what the name applies, an entry in the sNr staff system that allows you to open (most) doors. This is included in all staff roles.

    • sNr Sim Manager
      Roughly comparable to 'Stable Mistress' and 'Stable Master' in other ponyplay sims, this is mostly an administrative role, not limited to Dominants. Their word is law and their judgement is final.
    • sNr Stable Owner
      As the name implies. The movers and makers behind the Stones N Rubber Stable who pay for the sim. You won't see this tag often.
    • sNr Veterinary
      A roleplay tag to be used by any member of sNr who likes to perform as a veterinary, dentist or nurse when interacting with livestock.
  • The Dominant Tags and Roles
    • sNr Dominant
      The group tag for members of sNr Stables who identify as dominant or dominant-leaning switches and who haven't yet passed the trainer test, or don't want to become a trainer. Yes, you can boss the grooms around with this tag.
    • sNr Trainer
      Dominants who have passed the trainer test. Candidates must demonstrate knowledge of sNr rules and items (MC, MH, plugins etc), the ability to train ponies and mares in Mare Hearing without cheating around it and a working knowledge of pony disciplines and etiquette. For the latter we accept qualifications from other stables (currently only FFF and TT).

    • sNr Senior Trainer
      Trainers who have demonstrated advanced knowledge of pony disciplines and etiquette and showed dedicated support for Stones N Rubber Stables (e.g. by hosting events, training and fostering junior trainers and grooms). Awarded by the Sim Managers on a case by case basis. Not a matter of seniority or a standardized test.

  • The submissive Tags and Roles
    All submissives must have an RLV compliant viewer. The Mare Control is free of charge for all grooms and livestock.
    • sNr Groom
      One of the entry roles for submissives. Also the role that Ponies and non-permanent Mares serve in while not in tack. Subordinate to trainers for learning purposes. No special qualifications required. Mostly menial tasks. Of course submissives can also stay completely in the Groom role and not do pony time. Senior grooms may get cleared to do actual training.
  • The Livestock
    All livestock must wear a Mare Control and Mare Hearing. Mare Control is provided free of charge upon admission, a Mare Hearing device must be purchased (L$ 800).
    • sNr Pony
      One of the entry roles for submissives at sNr Stables. Can be restricted by Mare Hearing and Mare Control with moderate restrictions.
    • sNr Mare
      One of the entry roles for submissives at sNr Stables. Mares are heavily restricted like livestock, but can answer IM. They can be turned into livestock after a period of time served as mare.
    • sNr Livestock
      Mares restricted by Mare Hearing and Mare Control with heavy restrictions and locked for a set time period.
      Permanent Mares use the same 'sNr Livestock' group tag as other mares. They also share the same restrictions. While Permanent Mares can take their time off, they cannot serve in any other roles at sNr, ever. This role can only granted by sNr Sim Managers to mares that have served at least 3 months in their role. The decision to grant or deny this role is at the sole discretion of the Manager.

Pony or Mare, the livestock question

Ponies and Mares seem pretty much the same and are sometimes used interchangeably. In sNr we differ between pony and mare on a more elaborate way.

  • Pony
    A pony is adult human who is wearing pony play accessoires. Their restrictions can be low to full, a pony may IM and emote. Their training consist of pulling a cart, whip circle but also they are trained in all pony sports. Ponies may roam around freely. If a trainer has the option to pick a pony or a mare for training, they will take the pony. Ponies are the proud of their owners and the stable.
  • Mare
    A mare is also wearing tack but the restrictions are full to very strict. Mare Control and Mare Hearing have to be worn. A mare can't start IM but reply if she gets an incoming message. They should be kept in mouselook all the time. Their training consist mostly of pulling a cart and the whip circle or doing laps in the yard. If a trainer has the option to pick a pony or a mare for dumb work, they will take the mare. Mares are beasts of burden and kept as dumb as possible to fulfil their workload.
  • Livestock
    An experienced mare who can cope with the strictest set of restrictions. Livestock are not allowed to speak at all, nor can they understand humans. This may result in them not being chosen as priority when it comes to training or work. They may spend a lot of time in the stable although they should be working harder than anyone else.

Being in your stall and waiting is part of the life, mares might have to wait more. Ponies may not "demand" training, they are here to obey the trainers and their owners. So you have the choice between the red sugar lump of being a pony or the blue bitter pill of being a mare. It's not an easy decision and you should listen to your inner voice which path you like more. The meaning of the two expressions is very different and it certainly sets the right mood for "ponyplay". Choose wisely!
