Pantsing and Stripping Forums

In-universe the voting is done by millions of viewers, so a tie would be astronomically unlikely. Reader votes represent roughly 100k in-universe votes.

If this winds up actually ending on a tie, I'll probably just announce that the next person to reply to the thread gets to be the tiebreaking vote. I've never had a poll end in a tie yet though, not even the back and forth roller coaster that was the LARPer vote for the first contest.

Tbf tiebreakers wouldn’t be alien to this group lol

This was a crazy and super enjoyable ride! Man, I loved watching this story and reading whenever new chapters came out. You really managed to bring so many characters to life nearly as soon as they appeared. By the end I was super invested in the fights and cared just as much about the journey to the stripping.

Honestly, I thought Babysitter was surprisingly fun. Just a little brat who’s weirdly hilarious whenever she was on screen. And I love what you did with Author! Now she’ll have time to do alllllll the TTRPGs she wants. And maybe she’ll be the one to start writing ENF stories on this forum. Pen is mightier than the sword indeed.

What more is there to say? This story was hot, heartwarming, funny and genuinely gripping. I’m sad there’s no plans for a Thirst Game 3, but I’ll be rereading the first two for time to come. (Already read the first one twice! With a few rereads of my favourite chapters.)

Either way TG Expanded Universe is awesome. Might write something myself for it!

Thanks alot! Honestly I'm weird in that the fights themselves were always just as important to me in both contests as the sexual content. This is probably a side effect of the fact that the majority of my real-life storytelling experience centers around fantasy combat, and the fact that the system I use to run Thirst Game contests was originally setup for my fantasy universe.

Babysitter was my absolute favorite out of the 20 for sure. She was wild, uncouth, absurdly immature, and had zero empathy towards others. A lot of stories feature evil masterminds causing the stripping of their victims. Babysitter was the complete opposite, not masterminding anything but still stripping people based on aggressive flailing and chaos made manifest. Her personality and fighting style just emerged as this mixture of anime bratty girls, little kids who never behave, Majin Buu, and this one ex of mine who was WAAAY too into the whole "daddy" thing. It's kinda funny because Babysitter was deliberately designed to lose and lose badly by Revengedpirate, to the point where I removed the long list of weaknesses on her sheet completely in an attempt to balance her better.

Yep, congrats on the victory! I imagine that over time Author is going to be streaming so much TTRPG content on Thirst Trap that she becomes a legitimate rival to Critical Role. I'm sure some of the fans will nickname her channel "Critical Hole", but that's just how the internet works.

I enjoyed writing Author a bunch because of how meticulous she was in her planning, where most of the other girls' entire strategies had 1-2 steps at best. Author was lining up step by step from the very start, planning out future battles before she was even done with her current one. Oddly enough, half of her plans didn't work out at all. Her secret to survival was having a backup plan for when she was "beaten". And by "backup plan", I mean "sleep attack" considering that was her comeback ace three times in a row (against Fitness Instructor, Horse Jockey, and Waitress). Author is responsible for more naps than Sleep Number Beds.

Also there's something amusing about the fact that the only black entrant winds up winning the thing. I kept feeling sad that the majority of the user-submitted entrants were white since I had a wider range of diversity in the first event, but in the end it was basically a snowstorm with all of those white things falling down.

You could definitely write something for the Thirst Trap Studios universe! There's a whole bunch of potential games and show concepts. I have it imagined such that the app has the ability for user to play strip poker and other strip games against one-another as one of the many features, so you might even write up something with Author hosting something of that nature.

The sad part is that my plan for TG3 was going to have a roleplay theme with characters like Barbarian and Rogue going at it, so it would've been so easy to stick defending champion Author in there as the DM.

Writing up these huge stories across months just ends up being super exhausting. I ran into this giant fatigue with Summer Camp of Playville years ago and it wiped me out badly, and then both Thirst Games had the same problem. If I did another of these, I would need to vastly reduce the scope of the writing portion of the event somehow (possibly making it first person following a single entrant).

Yeah that was an idea I had recently. I'm not sure how well it would work in practice though, and would take away from the ensemble aspect of the Thirst Games. I also have actually humored the idea of outsourcing some of the writing, where the authors who designed the victorious characters would actually get to write what their character did to the loser in every battle, with me organizing the event backstage and determining winners and the like. I doubt that would ever actually work, but it was an idea I had.

I also had the idea a while back for a neat first person storyline in the Thirst Trap Studios reality show Step Brother, which I've had Benedict mention before as being based on Big Brother but in his pervy style of things. The way I see Step Brother working is that every time a contestant is voted out by the audience, they have to undergo a humiliating experience. Each humiliation is more extreme than the one before it, so the longer a contestant lasts in the game the higher the stakes. My idea was to follow a girl who thought she was ok with the nudity risk of the game at first, until the show gets halfway done and she realizes that the humiliations the losers are starting to get far exceed what she was prepared for. She then becomes desperate to do anything to win, requiring her to do anything she can possibly think of to get more audience votes. The longer she lasts the greater the risks, until eventually the risk for losing is beyond unbearable and she hits absolute panic mode. I assume there would be interest in that story if I ever went ahead and wrote it out.

Me being me, I've honestly thought up LOTS of little bits and pieces for the Thirst Trap Studios lineup, even if I'll probably never use most of it. I just enjoy imagining things and creating little games in my mind. Part of me does want to showcase the wider Thirst Trap universe though. When we had that Naked in School story contest a few months back, I almost wrote a story based on Benedict's NiS college tuition program that pays $10,000 to approved seniors who attend school naked and live-post pictures and vids of their adventure to TTS. I chose against doing that since I didn't come up with a good plot to go with the program idea (largely because anybody who agreed to such a program wasn't going to be all that shy).

It should be mentioned that I'm the type of weirdo who came up with the idea of Strip Wordle (Lose an item of clothing for every wrong guess, post pic of final results online, repeat daily. Results best in large groups). I think far too much about strip games.

The votes are now finalized! For reasons I don't understand, the Elimination poll had 7 more voters than the Entrant poll. Oh well.

Somehow, even if it seems paradoxical, Waitress won BOTH elections. I find that incredible. I just imagine Waitress meeting with her fans at a con one day: "Waitress darling, you were my favorite in the whole match!" "Oh really? Awesome! What was your favorite part?" "When you lost!"

Waitress absolutely dominated the Favorite Entrant category with 1/3 the vote, and Babysitter only ever approached her at all for second place late in the election (for a very long time nobody had more than 2 votes besides Waitress). I'm glad that she was so popular considering she had the most airtime . I'll file that away as expert booking. Nearly everybody got at least one vote, aside from the ones who lost right away like Cop and Teacher.

The Favorite Elimination was at one point tied with Lawyer until Waitress's elimination at the hands of Author surged to a sizable victory. I am actually quite pleased that the final elimination of the match wound up being the most popular, since that means I ended the story on a massive high note. Interestingly, second and third place were the two eliminations involving Favorite Entrant runner-up Babysitter (herself, and her taking out Lawyer). Most of the eliminations involving Waitress received at least one vote as well, with the exception of Landscaper (I'm just going to assume that itching powder torture isn't all that popular here, even if it's kinda popular in ENF videos). I most certainly noticed a pattern where the more combat-centric "fair fight" eliminations tended to not get any votes at all, where the eliminations that involved one girl completely helpless and humiliated by another tended to get the big votes. This is not even remotely a surprise, mind you, I just wanted to announce that the poll confirmed that hypothesis.

I'd say we can safely declare Waitress and Babysitter the overall superstars of this contest considering they carried first and second place in both polls. They were both selfish, charismatic, perverted as hell, lacked any morals or empathy, and they suffered humiliating losses where their above average sexual lusts were exhibited to the extreme in front of the world stage. Their losses specifically received the exact number of votes that they did as entrants, so their comeuppances clearly have to be a big factor in their popularity. I may use this information towards designing other characters in future stories, since "entertaining sadist who gets her just rewards" is demonstrably a popular character type with the readers here.

Don't knock the itching cream, there's fans, also flattered that my entrant won both votes, really enjoyed designing the character and where you took her, and of course her downfall was the climax of the series imo, I loved that she made her wish and the series more perverse in every way she could, enjoying showing off her victims to the masses, just to break and have the most humiliating experience.

I've thought of sliding itching cream in some of my stories or something similar, I like the squirmy helplessness of it,

Bravo

It wasn't lost on me the poetic irony that a character designed by you as a perverse humiliation-addict with multiple victims would have her own eventual karmic stripping and graphic exposure be both the climax of the story and the highlight of it. It seems to kinda foreshadow your own signature series.

Indeed, I enjoyed the sprinkles of Candace not only I planted in the creation (not entirely intentionally) but also as you've written as Candace before you ran with it and it felt like hints of her charm, while also Waitress being her own, more manipulative and charming/upbeat personality and a great one at that, but their perversions/enjoyment of humilation and demise drawing small mirrors to ALIK and Candace Owens.

Hope you or someone else takes the helm on something like this again although hopefully shortened and less stress inducing, even just the style of battle Royale goes so well with the genre and as we spoke about before you can really go anywhere with that basic template and make it your own unique contest/battle, I'd love to try it when time permits for me, probably never.

Side thought just came up with


maybe a small enough scale catfight battle series could have author collaboration? I imagine an authors' vs authors challenge of writing two characters battle in their first person, both writing their own characters dominant victory and the others demise, maybe a vote on which catfight victory story was better, and the forfeit could be the losing author, having to write the winners victory story, from the losing end, essentially a first person "losing" catfight humilation story from their own pov, for whoever is the loser of writing the best "winning the catfight" catfight story.

While the winner would go up the ladder for final showdowns?

Thoughts on this contest format?


Edit: imagine like the prompt delivered to the authors would have setting/audience/what random items are available in the setting or thrown in by audience etc etc

Such as: Bar scene: Kathy slept with Susie's bf

Author 1: Kathy dominates Susie when she challenges her at bar, humiliates her and keeps the man

Author 2: Kathy humiliates Susie's at bar for sleeping with her bf

Random items: whatever could be found in bar is free game, a couple people in the audience throws in random bits to help the victor as she begins to win, some random has handcuffs hoping for a kinky night with his girlfriend on their date night, tosses them to the Victors feet, some girls have spare "travel toys" in their purses, buzzed think it'd be funny to add to the mix,

Etc.
