Specifications for a new set of scripts for Bondage Mittens

By slutrix (Mona Eberhardt)

Among latex fetishists (both in Second Life - SL and Real Life - RL), a favourite accessory is bondage mittens. These seem to be inspired by the fingerless mittens used in harsh winter conditions to protect the wearer's hands from the cold, and, in a D/s-BDSM setting, are usually adapted in such a way that they render the wearer's hands useless by restricting the movement of his/her fingers more or less thoroughly. In SL, there have been various implementations of bondage mittens from a number of designers. However, none of these systems is 100% satisfactory, for various reasons.

Desirable traits of a well-designed bondage mitten script

RLV support (obviously). When the wearer relogs, it should remember its previous state of lock/unlock and all restrictions that were applied. It shouldn't need a HUD for adjustment operation should be via menu. Effective, low-lag code. It should use the display name of the wearer and whoever operates the mittens (or has the keys for them). It should provide deep, detailed control of the wearer's touch- and inventory-related abilities. The messages emitted by the mitten should be well-written and have a nice variety to provide an immersive experience; random selection from a range of messages for each action could be a nice feature. Silent mode by default! No need for the llSay or llWhisper commands, because we want the users to do the roleplaying, not have them rely on the mittens. Instead, it would be better for the wearer to be informed of changes in her/his status with IMs sent by the mittens. Extensive commentary in the code, explaining what each chunk of code does. To operate the mittens, one should touch any of them; i.e. the scripting set should not require that one touches the left or the right mitten only touching any of them should do, but the main (master) script should be in the mitten worn on the left hand. Lockmeister and Lockguard compatibility for the rings on which chains will be attached. Elegant chain particle textures.

Now that we've defined the desired characteristics, it is time to get more specific and detailed as to what the mittens should do, i.e. we should define the desired specifications.

Desired Features and Functions for the bondage mitten script

RLV-enabled Detailed control of the wearer's touch Detailed control of the wearer's ability to use/view their inventory LockGuard V2 and Lockmeister compatibility Public mode Hardcore mode Quiet (i.e. non-chatty) operation. All messages concerning activation or deactivation of restrictions will be sent via IM to the wearer. No whispers, no chat messages.

Desired Specifications for the bondage mitten script

I. Definitions and Conventions: I.A. Definitions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Wearer: The person wearing the mittens Toucher: The person touching the mittens (whether they have access to the mittens or not) Owner: The person who has locked the mittens and has complete control over them. Object: The name given to the mittens by the prim's creator. Function: Any function or feature that can be controlled by the buttons of the menus of the bondage mittens.

I.B. Conventions In order to enhance the ergonomics of the script's menu system, all the menus of the bondage mittens will always use the [ ] and [x] symbol placed to the left of the name of the function named on the button to denote the inactive or active or active status of the function, respectively. These symbols are toggled by clicking on the relevant button on the menu. Thus, when a function is inactive, the button will show:
[ ] <Function Name>

Where <Function Name> is the name of the function governed by the

specific button When a function is active, the button will show:

[x] <Function Name>

I.B.i. Touching the bondage mittens Upon touching any of the two bondage mittens, a menu should be brought up, depending on 2

whether the mittens were previously locked or unlocked and on who touches them, and a relevant message sent via IM to the appropriate avatars. Also, a relevant sound will be played. The message should be as follows:
<Toucher Display Name> examines <Wearer Display Name>'s bondage mittens.

When someone who has access to the bondage mittens' menu applies or removes a restriction, the mittens will whisper a relevant message. On many occasions, however, more than one possible messages may be used by the mittens. In this case, the script will select a message randomly, with equal probability. I.B.ii. Safety Precautions

If the wearer moves out of whisper range from the toucher, the menu should be deactivated. In that case, when the toucher tries to touch any of the menu's buttons, the script should send the following message to the toucher via IM:
<Wearer Display Name> is out of reach.

Also, the menu should time out after 30 seconds of inactivity (i.e. if no button has been pressed for 30 seconds, the menu should close) and the operator (toucher) should have to touch it again. In this case, the mittens send the following message to the toucher via IM:
Now closing the menu for <Object Name>...

I.B.iii. Sounds used The names for the sounds played by the mittens will be: bm_lock: the sound played when the mittens are being locked. bm_unlock: the sound played when the mittens are being unlocked. bm_error: The sound played when the mittens are being touched by someone who has no access to their menu.

Let us now see what the menus should look like. II. The Menus II.A. Mittens not yet locked If the mittens were previously unlocked or have not yet been locked, the menu brought up by touching any of the two mittens should look as in Table 1. The tables have the following sructure:

1. A single cell, covering the whole width of the table, in which a message is displayed. 2. A set of three columns, with each cell in the row corresponding to a menu button. If a cell is blank, then no button will be there.
<Wearer Display Name>'s Bondage Mittens: You are playing with <Wearer Display Name>'s bondage mittens. What would you like to do? [ ] Lock Close Menu
Ignore

Table 1: Initial menu Touching a mitten that has not been locked. II.A.i. Sounds and messages for locking and unlocking the mittens When locked, the mittens should play a relevant sound (the bm_lock sound from the list of section I.B.iii) and send a relevant message to the toucher via IM:
The electronic locks of the bondage mittens click, as <Toucher Display Name> locks <Wearer Display Name>'s hands inside.

The following message will be sent to the wearer via IM:

The electronic locks of your bondage mittens click, as <Toucher Display Name> locks your hands inside.

When unlocked, the mittens should play the bm_unlock sound and send a relevant message chosen randomly from the list below to the toucher via IM:
<Wearer Display Name>'s bondage mittens unlock. With a clicking sound, the bondage mittens now unlock, releasing <Wearer Display Name> from all restrictions.

The following message should be sent via IM to the wearer:

Your bondage mittens now unlock, releasing you from your restrictions.

II.B. Menu that appears when the mittens are touched by their wearer after having been locked by a person other than the wearer. These will be the most common scenarios: the wearer's mittens have been locked by their Dom(me), but the mittens are in Private Mode (Private). This means that the mittens are only accessible by either (a) the Dom(me) or (b) the Dom(me) and the wearer. The mittens then should emit the following messages, according to the scenario that applies: (a) Dom(me)-only access: 4

In this case, the mittens should be sent via IM to the wearer:

You fumble with the locks, but without the keys, all efforts are in vain...

No menu should appear. This, of course, means that the wearer of the mittens is locked out of the menu and has no control over his/her mittens at all. Only the Owner, i.e. the person that locked the wearer, can access the mittens' options. (b) Access by the Dom(me) and the wearer: In this case, the mittens should send to the wearer one of the following two messages via IM (two alternatives are provided and they will be chosen randomly by the mitten, with equal probability, as explained earlier):
<Toucher Display Name> adjusts your bondage mittens.

OR
<Toucher Display Name> examines your bondage mittens.

And the menu presented should be the main menu, which will be explained in detail in Section III. If the toucher is the wearer (and the wearer is allowed access to the mittens), no message will be emitted. II.C. Menu that appears when the mittens, which have already been locked, are being touched by a person that is neither their wearer nor the Owner. In this case, the mittens should produce the following message (again, sent to the wearer via IM):
<Toucher Display Name> tries in vain to manipulate your bondage mittens; they have been locked by someone else and the keys are unavailable...

The toucher should receive the following message via IM:

You try in vain to manipulate <Wearer Display Name>'s bondage mittens; they have been locked by someone else and the keys are unavailable...

In this case, no menu should appear. The mittens are not accessible at all. II.D. Menu that appears when the mittens have been locked by the wearer or Owner of the mittens, but have been set to Public Mode (Public). In Public Mode, the only person that cannot access the mittens' controls and functions is their wearer. His/her owner and everybody else are given full access to all of their functions and 5

controls, so they are presented with the main menu, which will be explained in detail in section III. Note: Because of the Public Mode's inherent severity, this setting is placed under the Access submenu. III. Main Menu When someone locks the bondage mittens, they are presented with the main menu, which looks like this (Table 2):
<Wearer Display Name>'s Bondage Mittens: You are playing with <Wearer Display Name>'s bondage mittens. What would you like to do? Touch Access [x] Lock Timelock Close Menu
Ignore

Inventory Advanced

Table 2: The Main menu Touch: Opens a submenu with touch control options. [x] Lock: Indicates that the mittens are locked and thus cannot be removed (detached). The person who has locked the mittens, along with anyone else included in the Owners (i.e. access) list in the Access submenu , is the only one who can access the mittens' controls. Clicking on the button again will unlock the mittens, thus allowing someone else to lock the mittens again. Inventory: Opens a submenu with inventory control options. Access: Opens a submenu with Access control options. Timelock: Opens a submenu with time lock options. Advanced: Opens a submenu with additional options (Reset, Hardcore mode etc).

III.A. Touch submenu This menu, as its name implies, allows the owner of the mittens to control the wearer's touch permissions or restrictions. This menu's options will work only with RLV2.6 or higher.

This submenu is as per Table 3:

<Wearer Display Name>'s Bondage Mittens: Touch control options. How would you like to restrict <Wearer Display Name>'s touch permissions? [ ] Near Touch [ ] Not Mittens [ ] Not Self [ ] No Touch [ ] Not Others Main Menu
Ignore

Table 3: The Touch submenu The options, along with the messages whispered by the mittens when the restrictions are applied or removed, are explained as follows:

[ ] Near Touch: When this restriction is applied, the wearer can only touch objects within a 1.5m radius from them. When the Near Touch restriction is applied, the mittens send to the wearer via IM one of the following messages:
Your reach is now restricted to 1.5m. <Toucher Display Name> restricts your reach to 1.5m. <Toucher Display Name> adjusts your mittens to prevent any interaction with objects farther than 1.5m. You discover that you can now reach no further than 1.5m. You are now allowed to reach out to touch far objects. Your far reach is now restored. <Toucher Display Name> has now allowed you to interact with far objects. With a sigh of relief, you discoverw that you can now manipulate faraway objects.

When this restriction is removed, the mittens whisper the following message:

[ ] Not Self: This restriction, when applied, prevents the wearer from touching their own attachments. When this restriction is applied, the mittens whisper one of the following messages:
All of a sudden, your mittens become completely stiff and all fine manipulations become impossible. With a swift, deft adjustment, <Toucher Display Name> makes your mittens become rigid as hardened steel, depriving you of the ability to adjust your attachments. You feel the mittens harden around your hands, rendering you unable to perform any adjustment to your attachments. As if they were water that quickly turns to ice when suddenly exposed to freezing temperatures, your mittens harden around your hands, preventing you from performing even the slightest adjustment of your own attachments. You can feel a little flexibility return to your mittens. As suddenly as they stiffened, so do now your bondage mittens become somewhat flexible again, allowing some small manipulation of your own attachments. <Toucher Display Name> now permits you to touch your attachments.

When this restriction is removed, the mittens whisper one of the following messages:

[ ] Not Others: This restriction prevents the wearer from touching other avatars' 7

adjustments. When it is applied, the mittens whisper one of the following messages:
You are prevented from touching others' attachments. You reach out to touch any of <Toucher Display Name>'s attachments, but in vain; it is now impossible to touch other people's attachments. You are now allowed to touch other people's attachments. The ability to touch other people's attachments has now been returned to you.

When this restriction is removed, the mittens whisper any of the following messages:

[ ] Not Mittens: This restriction prevents the wearer from touching specifically their mittens; if no other touch restrictions apply, the wearer can touch anything else. When this restriction is applied, the mittens whisper any of the following messages:
You are now prevented from touching their mittens. With a quick, authoritative adjustment, <Toucher Display Name> removes access to the mittens from you.

When this restriction is removed, the mittens send to the wearer via IM any of the following messages:
You are now allowed to touch the mittens. The ability to touch other people's attachments has now been returned to you.

[ ] No Touch: This restriction prevents the wearer from touching anything around them. When this restriction is applied, the mittens whisper any of the following messages:
The padding inside your bondage mittens inflates swiftly, removing the last bits of control that you could have over your mittens; to make your confinement even more thorough, the circuits of the mittens now create an invisible force field around them, cancelling any effect that your attempts to touch and use anything around them could have, thus rendering your hands almost completely useless. To your surprise, the padded interior of your mittens inflates significantly, exerting great pressure on your encased hands, making even the tiniest movement impossible; what's more, the mittens now generate an invisible force field around them to cancel out all your attempts to touch anything around you. <Toucher Display Name> now removes your ability to touch anything around you. Manipulated by <Toucher Display Name>, the mittens' internal padding inflates and prevents even the smallest movement of your hands inside the mittens. Then, with a soft buzz, the mittens generate an invisible force field around them, making it impossible for you to touch anything.

Main Menu: This is pretty self-explanatory. When this button is pressed, the user is taken to the main menu. No message is sent when this menu button is pressed.

III.B. Inventory submenu This submenu allows the owner of the mittens to control the wearer's inventory permissions or restrictions. It is organized as shown in Table 4:

<Wearer Display Name>'s Bondage Mittens: Inventory control options. How would you like to restrict <Wearer Display Name>'s inventory permissions? [ ] No Image [ ] No Inv [ ] No NCs Main Menu [ ] No Edit Ignore

Table 4: The Inventory submenu. The options and the messages whispered by the mittens when they are selected are as follows:

[ ] No Image: This restriction prevents the wearer from viewing images (snapshots and textures) from their inventory. When activated, the mittens send to the wearer via IM any of the following messages:
You are now prevented from accessing images. Your mittens modify the permissions of the images in their inventory, making them inaccessible. <Toucher Display Name> manipulates the mittens to deprive you of any access to your inventory's images. The mittens change the permissions for images in your inventory, prohibiting any access to them. <You are now allowed to view images. Your mittens return normal access to images in the inventory. <Toucher Display Name> allows you once again to view images in your inventory. Access to the images in your inventory has been reinstated.

When this restriction is removed, the mittens whisper any of the following messages:

[ ] No NCs: This restriction prevents the wearer from viewing notecards. When this restriction is enabled, the mittens send to the wearer via IM any of the following messages:
You are prevented from viewing notecards. Your access to notecards has been revoked. You can no longer view notecards.

When this restriction is removed, the mittens send to the wearer via IM any of the following messages:
You are allowed to access notecards again. Your access to notecards has been restored.

[ ] No Edit: Prevents the wearer from editing and rezzing objects. When it is enabled, the mittens send to the wearer via IM any of the following messages:
You are now barred from editing and building. Your ability to build and edit objects has been removed. You are now allowed to edit and build.

When this restriction is removed, the mittens send to the wearer via IM the following message:

[ ] No Inv: This restriction disables the wearer's inventory window. When it is enabled, the mittens send to the wearer via IM any of the following messages:
You are denied access to your inventory. You are prevented from accessing your inventory.

When this restriction is removed, the mittens send to the wearer via IM the following message:
You are now allowed to access inventory again.

Main Menu: Takes the user back to the main menu. No message is whispered.

III.C. Access submenu In this submenu, the user has the following options: 1. Add up to three other persons as owner(s) of their mittens. This means that the wearer maintains control of their mittens, unless configured otherwise via another option. This is because one person may have more than one Dom(me)s; however, we have opted not to make this access list larger, because, at least in our eyes, a person who wishes to be controlled by more than three dominants could be better served by the Public Mode. 2. Remove owners from the access list. That's pretty self-explanatory. 3. Public: In Public Mode, everyone but the wearer has full access to the menus. The Access submenu will be as in Table 5:
<Wearer Display Name>'s Bondage Mittens: Access control options. How would you like to configure access permissions to <Wearer Display Name>'s bondage mittens? Add Owner Back Rem Owner [ ] Public Main Menu
Ignore

Table 5: Access Submenu The options, as well as the actions triggered, and/or the messages whispered, by the mittens when they are selected, deselected, enabled or disabled, are as follows: Add Owner: It opens a submenu and a text box in which the wearer or the Owner will type or copy/paste the username of a person they want to add as an Owner. This new Owner will be referred to as New Owner and the terms <New Owner Display Name> and <New Owner User Name> will be used. For adding a new owner, the relevant submenu will be as in Table 6:

10

<Wearer Display Name>'s Bondage Mittens: Please type in the text box below the user name of each person you want to add to the Owners list; click on Add to confirm or Cancel to cancel the addition. Current Owners: 1. <New Owner Display Name> (<New Owner User Name>) 2. <New Owner Dispaly Name> (<New Owner User Name>) 3. <New Owner Dispaly Name> (<New Owner User Name>) Add Owner Back Main Menu
Ignore

Table 6: Owner addition menu Here, the Add Owner button opens the text box in which the operator of the mittens will add an Owner's username. The Back and Main Menu buttons are self-explanatory. Please note that the user name of the new owner is in parentheses. The Owners' list will be arranged and updated in chronological order, i.e. the Owner who was entered first will be on top of the list, the second will be second in the list and so forth. When a new Owner is added to the access list, the following message will be sent via IM to the wearer:
<New Owner Display Name> (<New Owner User Name>) has now been added to the Owners' list and given control of your bondage mittens.

The new Owner will be sent via IM the following message:

You have been added to the Owners' list of <Wearer Display Name>'s bondage mittens and granted control of them.

Rem Owner: It opens a submenu in which the operator will be able to choose which Owner(s) to remove from the access list. The submenu will be as in Table 7:
<Wearer Display Name>'s Bondage Mittens: Please choose from the list below which persons you would like to remove from the Owners' list. <First Owner User Name> Clear List <Second Owner User Name> Back <Third Owner User Name> Main Menu
Ignore

Table 7: Owner removal menu Here, <First Owner User Name>, <Second Owner User Name> and <Third Owner User Name> are, respectively, the user names of the owners that were added to the list first, second and third chronologically.

11

When an Owner is removed from the list, the mitten sends the following message to the wearer:
<Deleted Owner Display Name> (<Deleted Owner User Name>) has been removed from the Owners' list of your bondage mittens.

The deleted Owner will be sent via IM the following message:

You have been removed from the Owners' list of <Wearer Display Name>'s bondage mittens.

Here, <Deleted Owner Display Name> and <Deleted Owner User Name> are, respectively, the display name and user name of the owner that has been removed. The Clear List button immediately removes every Owner from the list. The Back and Main Menu buttons are self-explanatory. When the list is cleared, the mittens IM the wearer with the following message:
The access list of your bondage mittens has been cleared.

The deleted Owners will be sent via IM the following message:

The access list of <Wearer Display Name>'s bondage mittens has been cleared.

[ ] Public: Clicking on this button allows everyone to operate the bondage mittens, except for the person wearing them. When this option is selected, the mittens will send the following message to the wearer via IM:
Your bondage mittens are now available for everyone to use as they please, with you having absolutely no control over them... You now have no control over your bondage mittens and are at the mercy of everyone else.

The only way for the wearer to be granted control over their mittens again is to have someone else disable Public mode. When Public mode is disabled, the mittens will send the following message to the wearer via IM:
You are now given back control of your bondage mittens.

III.D. Timelock submenu In this submenu, the operator of the mittens can set the period for which the wearer will be locked under a set of restrictions that either (a) have already been specified from the other menus or (b) are yet to be finalized. This means that the timer will start after the menu is closed. Until the timer runs out, the restrictions specified will be active. It will be as per Table 8:

12

<Wearer Display Name>'s Bondage Mittens: Timelock options. Please use the options below to set the duration for which <Wearer Display Name>'s Bondage Mittens will be locked, then activate the Timer. If the timer is activated without a locking duration having been set first, it will default to its minimum locking duration of 5 minutes. Time set: [ ] Timer On +5 min -5 min Random <30min SL Time [ ] Hide Timer +30 min -30 min Random <1hr Clear +1 hr
-1 hr Random >1hr RL Time Ignore

Table 8: The Timelock submenu The options here are as follows:

[ ] Timer On: When this option is checked, the wearer's bondage mittens are locked for the time already selected (see the options below) and the timer begins to count down until the mittens are unlocked again. If no time has been set, the wearer is locked for a default minimum duration of 5 minutes. When the timer is activated, the wearer receives via IM the following message:
<Toucher Display Name> has locked your bondage mittens for X hour(s), Y minutes.

X: is the total hours (if the time set is less than an hour, X = 0) and Y is the total minutes for which the wearer will be locked. If the toucher has activated the [ ] Hide Timer option before starting the timer, the wearer receives via IM the following message:
<Toucher Display Name> has timelocked your bondage mittens; they will unlock by themselves at the time set, but when will that be?

When [ ] Timer On is deactivated, the bondage mittens unlock; the unlocking sound is played and the wearer receives via IM the following message:
Your bondage mittens now unlock.

[ ] Hide Timer: This option hides the locking time the toucher has set for the mittens' timelock from the wearer. When this option is activated, the wearer receives the following message via IM:
The time for which your mittens will be locked will not be disclosed to you.

When it is deactivated, the mittens send via IM the following message to the wearer: 13

Now you are allowed to know how much time remains until your mittens unlock. Your mittens will unlock in A hours, B minutes.

Here, A are the hours remaining until the mittens unlock and B are, of course, the minutes.NOTE: The mittens now do not inform the wearer of the time for which the mittens were originally set to be locked, only the time remaining.

Clear: This option clears all settings that were selected. No message is sent to the wearer. +5 min: Adds 5 minutes to the current timelock. -5 min: Subtracts 5 minutes from the current timelock. +30 min: Adds 30 minutes to the current timelock. -30 min: Subtracts 30 minutes from the current timelock. +1 hr: Adds 1 hour to the current timelock. -1 hr: Subtracts 1 hour from the current timelock. If [ ] Hide Timer is not active, each time one of the above 6 options is chosen, the wearer of the mittens receives one of the following messages via IM, respectively:
<Toucher Display Name> adds Z to your current timelock. Your remaining timelock now is J. <Toucher Display Name> subtracts Z from your current timelock. Your remaining timelock now is J.

In the messages above, Z is the time added or subtracted with each button press on the menu (5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour) and J is the new remaining timelock after the addition or subtraction of the time selected. If [ ] Hide Timer is active, no message will be sent to the wearer. Random <30min: When this option is selected, the timelock is set for a random period of time that can range from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. After this selection is set, the timer is automatically activated and the wearer receives via IM the following message:
Your bondage mittens have been locked for an unknown period of time.

Random <1hr: When this option is selected, the timelock is set for a random period of time that can range from 30 minutes to 1 hour. After this selection is set, the timer is automatically activated and the wearer receives via IM the following message:
Your bondage mittens have been locked for an unknown period of time.

Random >1hr: When this option is selected, the timelock is set for a random period of time that can range from 1 hour to 6 hours. After this selection is set, the timer is automatically activated and the wearer receives via IM the following message:
Your bondage mittens have been locked for an unknown period of time.

[ ] SL Time: When this option is selected, the bondage mittens' timelock counts only 14

against the time that the wearer is actually online. This means that, if the timelock is set for 3 hours, then the bondage mittens will unlock after the wearer has been inworld and locked for 3 hours. When this option is selected, the wearer receives the following message via IM:
<Toucher Display Name> has determined that your timelock will be counted in inworld time.

[ ] RL Time: When this option is selected, the bondage mittens' timelock counts against RL time. This means that, if the timelock has been set for 3 hours, the bondage mittens will unlock after three hours, whether the wearer has been inworld or not. When this option is selected, the wearer receives the following message via IM:
<Toucher Display Name> has determined that your timelock will be counted in inworld time.

III.E. The Advanced Submenu This submenu allows the operator of the bondage mittens to control some more advanced settings. It will be as per Table 9.

<Wearer Display Name>'s Bondage Mittens: Advanced options. Reset: Clears all restrictions and restores the default settings*. Hardcore: See manual Help: Gives you the bondage mittens' instruction manual. *Cannot be used in Hardcore mode (see manual). Help Reset Main Menu [ ] Hardcore Ignore

Table 9: The Advanced submenu The options here are as follows:

Help: Gives the person operating the menu the instructions for the bondage mittens. Reset: Clears all restrictions and resets the mittens' settings back to default. NOTE: This option is only available when the wearer is not in RLV. Also, when in Hardcore mode, this option is only available to the Owner(s) then it is available to the Owner(s) regardless of whether the wearer is in RLV or not. When the Reset button in the menu is pressed, the wearer receives the following message via IM:
Your bondage mittens have now been reset. All restrictions have been cleared and the default settings have been restored.

15

If the button is pressed by an Owner, the wearer receives the above message via IM and also the toucher receives the following message:
You have reset <Wearer Display Name>'s bondage mittens. All restrictions have been cleared and the default settings have been restored.

[ ] Hardcore: This button removes the wearer's ability to reset the bondage mittens, whether the wearer is under RLV or not. In hardcore mode, only the Owner(s) may reset them; this effectively makes the wearer a completely helpless toy for his or her Owner(s). Only an Owner may change this back to normal. When Hardcore mode is selected by the wearer, the wearer receives the following message via IM:
You have given up all control of your bondage mittens; only your Owner(s) may now reset them and you are truly at their mercy.

If this option is selected by an Owner, the wearer receives the following message via IM
You have been placed in Hardcore mode by <Toucher Display Name>; now you can no longer reset your bondage mittens and you are now under <Wearer Display Name>'s complete control.
