Pick your role!

You may attend the event as one (or more) of the following role:

The Connoisseurs / Collectors
You are here to appreciate, explore, and perhaps acquire some of the exceptional pieces. Please dress up to your esteemed status, mingle with your fellow magnate, and enjoy the experience.

The Seller / Masterpiece
You have something exceptional to offer, or maybe YOU are that exceptional something. Either way, you are ready to consider sharing your exquisiteness with the highest bidder. See details and pre-register here.

The Opportunists
You are here to socialize, connect, and enjoy this one of the kind party without any agenda. Come and enjoy yourself at our fully equipped dungeon space!

How does this work?

Please keep in mind that this is all part of role-playing. All interactions must be negotiated and with informed consent.

While all these are happening, feel free to carry on your kinky play in the play space ❤️‍🔥 There's no requirement to participate in the theme to fully savor the party.

1. The Seller / Masterpiece may pre-register and enlist the skills, play, service or experience they’d like to offer before the party. Rules and pre-registration here.

2. Attend the party as one of the roles. Please dress accordingly.

3. Upon entry, you will receive an envelope with your invitation, which contains a card with the amount of your starting currency. The distribution of starting currency has been calculated to provide advantage to lucky participants, while still maintaining fair competition. Detailed breakdown of starting currency coming soon.

4. Auction starts at 8:30pm. Raise your hand to bid on the pieces. You are only bidding for the opportunity to negotiate. No obligation or commitment is exchanged by participation in the auction.

5. The Trade Center will handle your payment, update your possessed currency or answer any query you may have.

6. Thoroughly negotiate and proceed! Make good use of the cozy social area and fully equipped dungeon!

… What do you mean you saw some funny business going on in the alley? There’s absolutely no way that there’s a hidden marketplace at our party!

The Venue

General Rules

Any violation of the rules might result in a hard ban from our future events. We might also share the incident report with other kink groups, especially in case of severe consent violations.

DM & Hosts (on duty) will be wearing bright neon green harnesses.

1. Consent matters.

Ask for explicit consent before engaging in any activities with others. Always ask before touching, that goes for people and their belongings.

Only an enthusiastic YES is a yes. If the other person seems hesitant or doubtful, please take that as a “No.” and don’t ask again. You may offer future opportunities for them to reach out to you if they do change their mind. The key is: Let them come to you after the initial "No"

It is also important to clearly communicate the potential risk of the play to the best of your ability.

2. Inclusivity is vital.

There is zero tolerance for hate speech. Help create a safe space for everyone, regardless of their role, gender, ethnicity, orientation, religion, experience, or skill level.

3. Respect the venue.

Do not vandalize or go to closed-off areas.

Do not share details or the location of the venue with non-attendees. If someone approaches you and asks for the address, point them to @Nocturnal_Event or email hello@madebymooooo.com

4. Dress street legal outside of the venue

You may transform into your kinky authentic self inside ✨

5. Photo, video, and recordings are not allowed.

6. Given the theme of this event and its potential to evoke thoughts of historical & modern slavery and human trafficking, we kindly ask that you collaborate with us to cultivate a vibe centered around showcasing admirable art pieces and extraordinary experiences & skills.

6.5 Please do not use languages such as "slave" "human cattle" or other any honorifics for someone you are not in a dynamic with.

7. Play responsibly. This is a dry event.
   We may ask you to leave if you show up with obvious signs of being under influence.

8. No smoking / vaping

9. No Glitter.

10. The DMs & Hosts are here to help, but not here to parent you.

If someone is making you uncomfortable, go to the DMs, or ask your friend to accompany you to do so. We are here to help.

While we try our best to create a safe space, we can not police everything. Please use your own judgment when vouching play partners, ask around for references, ask a lot of questions, and trust your gut if anything feels off.

Apply critical thinking. Plan for a “buddy system”. Negotiate before the party instead of doing pick-up play.

11. If you see something, say something (to the DMs/Hosts)

We need your help to create a safe space for everyone. If you notice something that doesn't seem quite right, speak up. Or please tell our DMs or the Hosts.

In case of unfortunate events or incident reports, please DM talk to us on Fetlife @Nocturnal_Events, or e-mail hello@madebymooooo.com

12. If you’re unsure if it’s permitted and the rules don’t mention it, ask a DM/host.

We can’t cover every possible kink and situation. If there’s any gray area, please ask us for permission before doing it, as you would do for negotiating with a new play partner.

Play Space

13. House Safeword is “SAFEWORD”

14. No phone allowed in the Play Space.

15. Keep the space clean.

If you are using the furniture or mats, make sure to wipe them with cleaning spray before AND after your scenes. We also provide disposable sheets and waterproof pads.

16. Make sure to clean up after your scene.

17. Check for Glow Stick before approaching others for conversation.

No glow stick = Do not initiate a conversation with me
Red glow stick = Do not ask me for pick-up play, but I'm open to conversation.
Green glow stick = Open to conversation & potential pick-up play

When you are in the Play Space or Aftercare room, wear a glow stick on your wrist if you are open for conversation. Meanwhile, only initiate conversations with those who are wearing a glow stick. fetlife.com/users/14893916/statuses/35499217 text: Details on our Glow Stick System)

18. Do not interrupt others’ scenes.

If you see something that you suspect is unsafe, talk to a DM or a Host.

19. If you are not playing, stay outside of the play zones (marked by white tape)

If you are not in a scene, or your scene isn’t starting within 15 mins, please don’t hoard the play stations.

Ask a DM for help if needed.
