my "keep going" cock hero rules

[servufon]

just posting these in the event others find them useful; the individual timings/parameters can be easily tuned...

nothing wrong with the standard cock hero rules, but i wanted to achieve something where one could keep going but still have a gaming win/lose aspect to it; that's simply because i go long periods in denial so being close to the edge a lot there are many of these cock hero vids i like but can "never" get through

1 - a cock hero vid is worth as many points as it has minutes (drop any seconds)

2 - if stopping stroking during a vid, edging out or such, that's -10 point

3 - each minute or portion thereof passing not stroking as directed is -1 point (note that this always follows the -10 penalty above; that means anytime you pause stroking you necessarily will get -10 and at least -1 more for the portion of a minute you're not following the rules); note that you can't just pick up during a pause, of course, you can only start again when stroking starts again as directed

4 - cumming is minus all the video's points

5 - ending with >0 points is a win, 0 or below is a loss

6 - one can do a marathon by carrying over points from game to game

for example, playing Cock Hero Max 3, a tough one for me, i stopped stroking 3 times and didn't resume directly on the beat for up to a minute each of those times, also stopped stroking once and didn't resume on beat for under 7 minutes, then finally gave up and stopped another time for a <15 minute stretch, tried towards the end and stopped finally for a <6 minute stretch; so that's 6 stops at -10 each and total portions of minutes 31 (the 3x <1 minute, <7 minute one, <15 minute one, and <6 minute one, so 1+1+1+7+15+6 = 31), so that's -91; as Cock Hero Max 3 is 65 minutes and some change, that's a negative total, 65-91

on the other hand playing Cock Hero Climax i had no breaks, went through it perfectly, so that's 37 points (as it's just over 37 minutes)

(note: you don't have to keep track in any way requiring math; you can do it, for example, by just having a bunch of tokens or such and throwing them in a pile each minute/portion thereof not on beat; you could have 2 piles, one for each pause of the -10 points and one for minutes, then it's quite easy)

of course if you want to get anal about it you could instead determine actual minutes of stroking in the vid and do it that way, or remove the cum bonus round, or however you like to do it; my philosophy is the longer it is then the overhead is "deserved"/part of it and so seems okay to me to include it; and of course i'm not doing this to compare to anybody but simply to have a good challenge for myself while not having to start over all the time on some vids

because the rules are just for me, i do allow myself to break off of a vid and pick up where i left off if necessary for some reason (interruption of something important, just plain falling asleep, that sort of thing), but have to be at least as aroused to start again; ideally this should be at a round ending/beginning, meaning a controlled stop

i also allow myself to speed up vids if they're boring or not at all challenging (i find quite a few are not so great at regular speed), but then i have to leave it fast if i edge out/pause or otherwise don't stroke to the beat for a while and so i lose points faster; also, fyi, i usually play humiliation vids in the background to boost the arousal

this system is particularly useful for marathons across cock hero vids; right now i'm at -46 across 16 games (though i've split the wins/losses 8-8)

i like the system because it's still a game but it allows me to watch videos through

i thought about adding something like -2 per minute not stroking at all versus -1 if just not stroking to beat (edging, etc.), but felt it better to keep it simple in the end, keep it really easy to track; one could as easily change the parameters above as desired to suit one's ability and tastes

like i said, just sharing it in case it's useful, not saying people need to follow it or there's any issues with the rules as is, just trying to accomplish a different style of this game

I like it. I also sometimes modify the standard rules for my personal sessions, but I haven't written them down formally to this same extent. I'll experiment with incorporating your rules into my future sessions, because I think they're useful. Thanks for sharing.

thanks, glad it might help or at least inspire new ideas that work for you!

happy to hear others' ideas as well, of course/to be clear

This is a good start. Very similar to my rules.

Do u have kik or Skype to chat about it more??

One thing I do to add to the movement of scoring is the standard pro stroke is up and down for each beat. But u can decide to go half pace to save an edge out. So if u get one point per min u would get 0.5 point per min at half speed but save the "stroke fault" penalty of having to stop stroking to keep from cumming.

i have Skype but don't use it much, would prefer pm or chat, do feel free to ask/share more!

i thought about something similar re time rules, not so much re up-and-down but allowing some half points for stroking but not to the beat, but decided not to do such things in order to keep it simple; but definitely can be good logic, and these are the kinds of things that would work well if Cock Hero were more of an application-based delivery (i don't mean as in mobile app, per se, just any programmatic delivery on a computing platform) than a video-based delivery so that one could just click a button or such to indicate a given status (edged out, stroking not to speed, etc.).
