Life Outside Le Chateau de Roissy

One of the questions and moans I receive frequently from members of the Roissy Community is, "Why is nudity not permitted outside Le Chateau in the Roissy Sim (Roissy 1)?". Many see this as completely rediculous, and constantly ask for the rule to be changed. This request has been denied since the birth of the sims right to this day for 2 very specific reasons:

1: Do we really wish to turn Roissy into a 'free sex' style sim? I doubt it. Free sex sims ar two a penny in SL, and usually draw the nuisance perv (You know the sort - big pink phallus on bad skinned and featureless avatar, owned by person who just wishes to talk dirty! LOL). Public nudity draws them like flys. Roissy has always strived to uphold a level of decency in its IC and OOC roleplay. Let's keep it that way. After all, that is part of the secret of it's success thus far.

2: In the novel 'Story of O', O leaves Le Chateau after her initial training to return to her every day life as a photographer. Did she or the other members of Le Chateau walk around town naked? Nope! Life went on for her as it always had (apart from the submissive awakening in her soul). She went shopping, dining and working clothed! LOL!
So too in the SL Roissy Sims, it is expected that 'normal' life continues outside the walls of Le Chateau, just like in the world of the O of literature. The Community which we now share in Roissy flourishes on this. Friendships blossom on the streets and in the shops and clubs of Roissy and Blackthorne which last and bond. Laughter and sometimes arguments / debates happen, as well as informative discussion and teaching in the lifestyle. In other words, life goes on as it does in real life, which makes for a strong community spirit. That same community spirit has made Roissy the huge success it has become in Secondlife. Long may it continue!
