Now, now. Being a roleplayer (and hypno-fetishist) myself, I love a good half-hour (or longer!) induction RP as much as I love a genuine trance experience. And personally I enjoy being on either side of the RP. I play RP inductions almost as seriously as real ones, and I do let my friends know that.
Yes, I do, obviously, like to know WHICH of the two experiences I am in for in advance, though. I would be quite rightfully pissed off if someone insisted to me that she or he wanted a genuine induction, but then left as soon as they had gotten their jollies.

I put in half an hour of my life with an induction in order to improve technique, try out new things and most importantly, have fun, for both concerned. Roleplaying under false pretences is the cyber equivalent of pissing over a handmade present.[/quote:a1e3c1/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i]
As I said, as long as I know it's RP and not for real, I'm fine with it. Just let me know in advance.

Needless to say I exposed he or she for the fraudster they were.
Don't they realise if they SAY they're looking for roleplay there are miuch better possibilities for their scenario than real hypnosis? Real hypnosis is limited by the small matter of reality - roleplay could allow for all kinds of wacky inductions.[/quote:a1e3c1/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i]
Of course. And I love having fantastic inductions too. Once in a furry one, I hypnotized a catgirl by swinging catnip. You can take advantage of many fantastic and impossible (or at least implausible) induction methods when you know it's just for fun. And you can make it more fun on both sides since nobody has to really enter a trance, and you can have whatever fun you want.

Sorry this has been such a long rant but roleplayers are something that have plagued me since the beginning of practicing hypnosis online and piss me off something rotten.[/quote:a1e3c1/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i]
I agree completely, and I like to make it clear that if all they want is to roleplay, I'm fine with that, but if they want to go for real, they need to be honest with me before, as well as during, the trance. If they can't commit to that, I won't go further. And yes, a LOT of people expect the "blank out" reaction and are surprised that it really just feels nice, not like they are, or have been, drained.
Though, I suppose I would like to find one just to pull off a real induction and get a nice suggestion in that will freak them out.
