I am the source of your ultimate pleasure.  I am the man who
can guide you on a path you thought yourself otherwise
incapable.  There might be a time when you might consider me
your tormentor, but in the end, you will realize that I was
your liberator.   The game I like to play is all about how
well you think you know yourself and your ability to trust.
You set your own limits and your own tasks. I will never
exceed what you tell me you're ready for. In building trust,
you are giving yourself over to someone you have never met
and allowing him access to you wholly and totally. What is
your capacity for trust?

THE GAME OF THE MONTH: THE RUBBERBAND GAME

     The Rubberband Game is a game meant to help a slave
learn basic things. If your slave is studying for an exam,
or if you want to test the general knowledge of a slave and
help it remember basic things, this is a fun and simple
game.

     Blindfold your slave. Tie your slave so that its arms
are bound above its head and its legs are spread apart so
you have full access to its body. Tying it in a standing
spread eagle also works if you have 360 degree access.

     Take 100 rubber bands. Nice thick ones are most fun.
Tell the slave to give you a number between 1 and 100. You
want to use at least 50 rubberbands to make the game fun. So
if the slave says 75, then use that number and say, "Very
good, slave. I will use 75 rubberbands. " If the slave says
23, then say, "Very good, slave. 100 minus 23 equals 77. I
will use 77 rubberbands. "

     You will have a list of questions to ask the slave. If
it is studying for an exam or needs to learn something, go
through the list of questions. You ask, it responds. If the
question is answered incorrectly, shoot a rubberband at a
random part of its body. If the question is answered
correctly, move on to the next question.

     Once the list of questions is completed, start again to
ensure reinforcement. Or you can ask the slave to spell the
answers. You'll want to make sure that you have an ample
amount of questions. It works best if the master is
prepared. A good slave is like an eager dog . . . it can
actualize its potential when it has a master who knows what
he's doing.

     By the end of the game, you will have had fun with your
slave, and your slave will have increased knowledge and,
perhaps, 75 small red welts over his body.

     A variation of this game is to have the slave count off
the number of rubberbands used. If his count is wrong, or if
it can't remember, then start again.

     The Rubberband Game is the September Game of the Month.
