Sexual adventure theme attraction?

Post by Sync » Mon Jul 11, 2005 10:19 pm

I've been told that on the Playa each year there is an attraction called the vortex casino that, well, gambles with sexual acts instead of money.

Now I'm hearing this rumor that if you get cards or points or something that this year they are building a huge adult sexual haunted house/ fear factor kind of maze or something that is actually made to test a participants sexual limits.

Does anyone out there have any experience with Vortex or the associated attractions? I'm hearing that the people making it are both a little twisted, good natured, and a lot of fun.

It's all a damn lie! I went in there expecting sex and all they wanted to do was make me a second mortgage at a substatially lower interest rate but for a longer period of time than my original mortgage.
Thanks to Addis, I had more free time.

The trick is to make sure both of your eyes are equally bloodshot.

The bloodshot butt kinda sucks though. (Figure of speech. The butt doesn't actually suck. That's the next camp over.)

Here's hoping they have lots of well-stacked, eh, decks.

It's too bad that the women featured on the web site didn't look like that.

They look more like this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3429903.stm

And at a ratio of 8:1 women to men, that's worst then living in Alaska or Montana were fat can get away with it. I'll take my chances out on the playa.

The place at least sounds like its worth a serious visit. Whether I get a decent mortgage or leave with my butt making smacking sounds I've come away with something I didn't get there with.

Interesting thread!

This is DNA, creater and operator of Vortex Casino and Carn'Evil.

Seriously, any questions?

I'll squish one rumor....We are NOT a sex camp. If your looking to just get laid, we're the wrong camp for you. If you want to experience something unique, stop on by and visit us.

And no, we don't make your Butt make pucker sounds when you walk. LOL! I liked that one. LOL!

Sorry about that, ....I couldn`t control my imp of perversity.

I have heard lots of good things about your CasinoCamp though.
I may try to get in this year.

hey, need any laminating pouches?
It seems I read you laminate on sight, and I have the hook up on lots of pouches, mostly CC size 10mil , but other sizes too.
You can PM me if you are interested
Thanks for all the effort. Have a great burn!!!

This is a twisted thread for Politics and Philosophy. LOL!

Geex, don't know where to start. The best I can suggest is read the website www.haven2006.com and check out the thread on Carn'Evil in the Theme camp section.

But since we are in the Philosophy section, I'll try to keep it on topic.....sort of. hehe.

For the last 8 years of creating highly complex theme camps, we've been very successful in creating an environment that is fun, exciting, and interactive for all persons over 18. We create challenges for participants to test their inhibitions, or lack thereof.

We have the Casino, which is run like a Las Vegas Casino. We have card tables, Dice tables, and change wheels all with unique games of chance. We have our own money (credits), chips, and Carnal Cards for this year. You play and win/loose credits and try to accumulate points. You need 12 points to "authenticate" your carnal card. Once done, you may enter our Carn'Evil Adventure.

Carn'Evil is the most terrifying experience you will ever imagine, and DEFFINATELY not for the wimpy. Once qualified, we are going to send you directly to somewhere beyond Hell! You will "attempt" to travel through this until you meet the Demon itself. IF you convince it that your Soul is not worthy of taking, he will return you to the living.

Each phase of your journey that you complete (challenges), you will recieve a cool laminated badge "key" that opens the next level. There are 4 badges (Keys) you need to accumulate to beat Carn'Evil. You'll be dealing with the Crypt Keeper, mad Scientists, Minions, etc along the way. Each step is harder than the previous, and you can quit at anytime by summoning a Wraith to escort you out.

Seriously, Everyone who enters MUST be over 18, not drunk or stoned, and sign a waiver. We WILL have medical on staff in camp. We WILL NOT harm you in any way, but the psychological horror is intense.

OR, you can just have fun in the Casino. We will have a Pawn Shop also for redeeming Credits or aquiring additional credits for play.

Whew! Now my fingers are sore. He-he!

"This is a twisted thread for Politics and Philosophy.." Its the perfect place for it since we all know politics and philosophy are twisted.

Thanks for your reply. It certainly piques my curiosity and I look forward to gracing your camp with my presence this year.

What is the waiver for? What are you doing to the people in there? Are they required or pressured to peform sex acts? How much worse phycological torture can it be than working for a mindless and unethical large corporation that sucks your soul every day, and makes you wish to die?

Does the Theme Camp pressure the people to have sex with very unattractive poeple? I am just curious, since I know some people that are into that they work at a strip club.

Any bald headed people in there that like to have her head or his head vigorously stroked?

Dare I say it but after reading this thread perhaps waivers and other protectionary measures might be a wise choice for theme camps.

I've been doing these intricate theme camps for 8 years and no matter how large I make them I always have lines to get in, sometimes waiting 3 hours or more. I haven't had a single complaint!

People say that my adventures are the most fun they've ever had. What goes on remains a mystery to those who have not been through them.

The waivers are just a protection measure for us and staff that states that the participant understands that they WILL be touched throughout the adventure and that they are free of medical problems.

We can't tell by looking at people if they have a blood presure or heart problem, claustrophobic, or other situations that may cause problems for them going through. The waiver releases us from liability if they freak out.
