• Random garble on /8.
  • speak on /8 and the Smart Garble approximates the actual words used, but with a twist.
  • say "testing" once, and you might get "deshding". Say it again, you might get "tesding". You don't get the same garble when you repeat the same words.
  • play "guess the garble"! With the random Smart Garble, the sub can repeat the words a few times, and you might eventually guess what she's babbling about! Hmm perhaps one spank for each try till we understand what she's saying?
• Different gag, different garble.
  • Ring gags have their own distinct aspirate sounds as the poor sub leaks air through the ring.
  • Ball gags make more throaty gutteral sounds as the sub bites down on the ball.
  • Similarly, bit and bone gags have gutteral sounds, but less pronounced than the ball gag.
• Different garble options.
  • Quick garble.
    • speak normally in chat channel (i.e. /0).
    • you will get garble like "GGAAOHG".
    • still the fastest possible garble in SL. No point using smart random garble when sub speaks on normal chat, since there's no point trying to guess the garble if the original text is visible.
    • you will get the option to garble in lowercase once you reach the Novice Circle.
  • Tight garble.
    • speak on channel /8 (e.g. type "/8 hello").
    • this is the default garble, and each gag type has its own unique sounds.
  • Loose garble.
    • once you reach the Novice Circle, you get the option to loosen the gag.
    • this makes the garble more intelligible.
  • Garble off.
    • this option is not available once a Trial (see Circles below) has been started
• Smart emote trapping.
  • Gag catches cheating by emote: e.g. "/me says: definitely not!" is cheating.
  • Responds appropriately to certain mouth emotes.

(Garbling and random smart garbling are original Lulu concepts first seen in the Plus Gag in 2005 andthe Signature Gag v.4 in 2007 respectively)

No invisible gags. Only the LULU Command HUD with the regular Second Life viewer.

• AIR-REZ: Dom rezzes the gag in the air on command, which auto attaches to the sub.
  
  One moment, ungagged. Next moment, gagged. When her owner decides, with a simple command.
  
  This is the real thing: the gag actually rezzes in the air in front of the sub, and it actually attach itself to her mouth, no permissions required. No special viewer required, either.
• No need for invisible toys.
  • AIR-REZ gives the sub a real freedom that invisible toys do not.
  • True freedom. It's a mind thing.
  • And then... to have that freedom taken away, swiftly, cruelly, on command. Yum.

(AIR-REZ: Attach-on-Command is an original Lulu concept first seen in the Signature Gags in 2006.)

 

• There are five LULU Gag Circles, or levels:
  • Initiate
  • Novice
  • Adept
  • Slave
  • First Slave
• A Circle title is attained by successfully competing Trials. A Trial involves a stretch of time spent in silence without speaking while locked and with ban-talk on. Each higher Circle has more demanding time requirements.
  • Trials are not easy, but hey... that's what bondage is about, right?
• Each Circle unlocks some new feature in the Signature Gag.
  • If you don't care for the features, you can ignore the Trials and still use the gag normally
• Top20 Leaderboard.
  • See the scoreboard at the Secret Warehouse? At the v.4 Gag vendor area?
  • If your best Trial time is among the top 20, your name will be up there. Automatically.

(Circles or levels that unlock features is an original Lulu concept)

• The new Lock-down mode (available only at Slave Circle) deprives the sub from important menu functions (leaving basic ones like faq).
• Lock-down is serious. Subs can only reset owners (and thereby regain access to her gag) by seeking out "Fingers", a shady locksmith-bot at Lulu's Secret Rom.
• Because this mode requires the sub to be at the Slave Circle (not easy to reach this level), it is in a practical sense, voluntary. The sub gives away her freedom.
• With Re-rez and Lock-down (and the Restrained-Life Viewer), this is as close to real life bondage as it gets.

(The Lock-down mode is an original Lulu concept.)

If you are using the Restrained Life Viewer instead of the regular Second Life viewer:

• v.4 Gags are compatible out-of-the box, no need to add scripts.
• You cannot speak on chat channel while gagged.
• You cannot make outgoing IMs while gagged...
  • except you can IM your owner and up to three friends (set by your owner) , at "garble off" and "garble loose" settings. Idea is, your owners should still be able to understand your mumblings when you're loosely gagged.
    • "garble loose" option only available when you reach the Novice Circle (see above).
      
  • at "garble tight" settings, even your owners and friends cannot understand your mumbling. i.e. you can't IM even your owners.
  • Incoming IMs are not blocked by the gags. Why? Because they're gags, not ear plugs.
• if you are locked, both the HUD and gag are not detachable.

• LULU Real Key system
  • Sub's owner keeps a physical key to lock and unlock sub's gag.
  • Smart key knows when (PST or PDT even) the gag was last locked or unlocked, and by whose key.
  • Once locked, any attempt to remove gag will send a silent alarm to Dom (even if offline)
  • Sub's owner can command sub to come or crawl over with the key (and then to return to original position).
    • If sub is cuffed with the Signature cuffs, sub will walk (or not!) according to the cuffed position (e.g. if kneeling, will kneel-walk).
  • Once locked, sub has no access to major features of the gag.
• Sub-proof alarm
  • Because the gag is no-mod, sub cannot hack the gag in any way to remove the hovertext alarm (simplest thing to do is to drop a simple script into the toy with the "llResetScript("",<0,0,0>,0)" command).
    • Though gag is no mod, you can still:
      • color the gag with Lulu's Color Ball - 17 million colors. Also change shininess and bumpiness.
      • reset the HUD with the "smart reset" - unlike SL's "reset all scripts", this revives only the "dead" scripts, and you should not lose any important settings.
      • re-size the gag with a smart re-size button.
  • Because the gag works in tandem with the HUD, the tattletale IM to the sub's owner is far more reliable than a standalone gag (the IM in a detaching toy may not fire off on time before the item actually disappears from the world).
• Drool
  • Lulu gags have this odd side-effect. Subs can't control themselves and tend to drool.
  • Realistic visual drool. Occasionally, of course.
  • No, it's not messy. Just kinda cute.
• Whine
  • Subs when gagged and neglected for a time will naturally... whine... drool... pant. Really. Anything to get attention.
  • Yes you can hear her moan (female setting only).
    
• Word crafting
  • The seduction of words... at Lulu's we believe in variety, subtlety and sexiness. It's a mind thing.
  • Text emotes reflect whether someone else is playing with her, or she's playing with herself (!)
  • For most actions, there is more than one possible text emote.
  • Variety means you can play and play and not get bored by the same old response for the same action.
  • And no, the emote will not be preceded by the toy name or body part either.
• Dual input.
  • Like the speed and interactivity of text commands?
  • Or prefer to click on a dialog menu instead?
  • Both are available. Your style. Your choice.
• Label the sub
  • The sub's owner can make her wear a custom label over her head, e.g. "Banned from talking"
  • Dom can choose the color of the label.
• Smart help
  • No need to remember tons of commands or fumble with notecards.
  • Smart help is built into the interactivity so you don't have to remember anything.
  • Now it is integrated with the online help.

(The Real Key and the Color Ball are original Lulu concepts, first seen in the Signature Gag in 2006)

LULU Real Key

• The LULU Signature restraint can only be unlocked with a pre-coded physical key, and only if the keyholder is on the sub's approved owner list. Double security.
• The sub's owner can use his key to check the sub's lock at any time, to ensure that the last "lock event" was him locking her. If it's not, she could have added a temporary owner and gotten him to unlock and then relock her. There is an "audit trail" for the sub's owner.

No Reset.

• The simplest restraints can simply be hacked by a clever sub by resetting the scripts. This deletes existing variables (owner lists, locks, alarms, etc.)
• LULU Signature gear are "no-modify", which does not allow resetting, and are thus completely immune to this sort of attack.

No Editing of Prims.

• Some restraints preserve stats (e.g. owner list, locks, alarms etc.) in the prims themselves, commonly in the Name or Description field. These fields can easily be modified.
• Encrypted stats: these can still be deleted, and all scripts reset (see No Reset above) to wipe the slate clean. Or, some earlier stats (e.g. from an unlocked state) can be copied over and the sub has effectively reset the lock.
• RestrainedLife viewer's no-edit feature: a powerful feature when worn, but switching over to the regular viewer allows full edits.
• LULU Signature gear are "no-modify" and are completely immune to this type of attack.

No Script Hacks.

• Any attachment that has "mod" permissions will allow a clever sub to drop listener scripts to intercept and even modify stats like locks and alarms.
• RestrainedLife viewer: there's a powerful no-edit feature. However, a clever sub can still drop a dormant script anytime before no-edit kicks in (or by using another viewer temporarily) - this script can then be triggered at will later to reverse whatever stats.
• Even encrypted messages can be easily circumvented, by the sub simply copying the encrypted internal messages and replaying them later without having to know the encryption password. (e.g. "xzUrzd" stands for "unlock").
• LULU's Signature gear are "no-modify" and are completely immune to this type of attack.

Isn't no-modify bad?

• Three major reasons for wanting "modify" rights are:
  • ability to color the prims.
  • ability to re-size the prims to fit.
  • ability to reset scripts when Second Life borks them.
• color: LULU Signature gear come with the original LULU Color Ball, a quick and easy way to color multiple items (e.g. all eight cuffs!) at once, with 17 million colors, even if they are no-modify.
• re-size: LULU Signature gear can be re-sized on command. After you get used to it, it works even better than Second Life's built-in re-sizer, as you can control the re-sizing by degrees, and it ensure related gear have the exact same size (e.g. two wrist cuffs and two ankle cuffs)
• reset: LULU Signature gear come with Smart Reset 2.0 which only revives dead scripts, and keeps all major stats, unlike Second Life's built-in "reset all scripts". Does it faster too.

Because LULU Signature gear are "no modify", you will have the highest security lock in Second Life, compared with modifiable (i.e. potentially hackable and insecure) gear like the LULU Plus and Basic. The vast majority of restraints in SL are modifiable.

How to know whether you have a modifiable restraint? If you can drop a script in, it is modifiable.

(LULU Color Ball [i.e. editing a separate prim to color the gear], smart re-size, and smart reset are original Lulu concepts)

Unlike real life, Second Life allows a sub to detach an attachment (whether the script has "locked" it or not). This is part of the safe, consensual environment of Second Life. But it's not good for bondage players - you need to know your locked attachment stays locked in place!

Re-rez.

• The moment a restraint is detached, the LULU Security system kicks into action and a fresh restraint is rezzed and immediately pops back onto the sub. No permissions. Just locked again. Escape is futile!
• Using the RLV? Locked attachments in RLV can still be detached when a scripted item attaches itself to that attachment point. Not to worry, the LULU Security system will re-rez a fresh restraint and pop it back into place again.

Guaranteed IM Alarm.

• Tattle-tale IMs are typically sent by the detaching restraint - but sometimes, they are not sent in time before the restraint finishes detaching. If this happens, the IM will be sent the next time the restraint is worn again. Another lovely SL "feature".
• But LULU Signature gear is guaranteed to fire each time, on time, because it works in combination with the separate Signature Command HUD.

Hovertext Alarm.

• A hovertext alarm is triggered on the restraint, showing the number of breaches.
• Because LULU Signature gear is no-mod, a sub cannot drop a simple llSetText() script that erases the hovertext alarm.
• This alarm can only be reset by the sub's owner.

RestrainedLife Viewer compatibility.

• LULU Signature gear is fully compatible with the RestrainedLife Viewer (RLV), out of the box, leveraging on all relevant features of the viewer.
• But LULU Signature gear offers more. With the various built-in security features like No-modify and Re-rez, LULU Signature gear are designed to offer the highest level of restriction and security, regardless of whichever viewer the sub happens to be using at any time.
• Beyond the RLV, LULU Signature gear has been crafted with many unique features for a ... different bondage experience.

Usually, the Dom says something like, "Now sub, wear your gag." And the sub spends a few minutes rummaging through her inventory, waiting for the asset servers to load her 15,000-items onto her screen. If she's in the mood. Otherwise, it might take even longer (or forever!). LULU Signature security system solves this little problem by:

AIR-REZ: Attach on Command.

• One command. Immediate rez. Snaps onto sub. No perms required. End of story. With just the default Second Life viewer.
• Simple. Effective. Now.
• And multiple LULU gear can be launched from the one single HUD worn by the sub. One HUD, many restraints.
  • For example, sub has HUD loaded with both leather and steel cuffs, and also a ball gag and a ring gag. Sub's owner can choose exactly which cuff and which gag to wear with a command, and can swap them around with ease.

No need to go invisible.

• Invisible restraints are a great idea to simulate the unworn state. But ctrl-alt-T shows them up, and besides, for many, the feeling is not quite the same.
• With LULU Signature, she stays free. Until her owner decides otherwise. Mmm.

There are the odd moments when we have an abusive and hurtful Dom, or an absentee Dom that doesn't login anymore. Is the sub doomed?

No. Because in the LULU system, the sub is allowed to reset her owners. This resets all locks as well. Think of it as a guaranteed safeword (as in real life, a safeword is a must!). This also prevents griefers from having any sort of permanent control over the sub, even if the sub gave "ownership" to a stranger.

But: for certain gear (currently the Signature gag), there is a lock-down mode wherein the sub can't reset her owners when she is locked down. But this mode is only available to the sub if she has attained a rather high Slave Circle by completing various trials, so a sub can avoid this if she wants to.* Therefore, the choice is entirely up to the sub, not the Dom.

But but: even in the lock-down mode, the sub can go to "Fingers", a shady bot in Lulu's Secret Warehouse, and pay him to activate a one-minute window for the sub to reset owners (and automatically, all locks). Finger's prices vary over random periods - it can be very cheap, or not so cheap. So the recovery option is there, but because there is a cost (L$ and time and risk of missing the one-minute window), the sub is quite unlikely to make resetting owners a regular habit.

Your LULU Signature gear (except the older v.2 gag) comes with an HUD:

• quick launch of Signature gear via Auto Wear/Rez.
• one HUD can hold multiple gear - e.g. both leather and padded-steel cuffs, and all gags can be called up from one HUD.
• manage your owner list, settings and other preferences.
• sim-performance information
• your Circle stats
• help menu, integrated with online help
• Lulu's blog
• RLV functions like forcesit, shared folders, etc.

LULU Signature gear are updated very regularly with new features and bugfixes, and you get unlimited free updates to the latest version.

What? SL ate your stuff? Or borked it? Not to worry - just go the same Update Switch and get a fresh set. That will be the latest version.

If the update involved a lot of new work, there might be an upgrade fee involved, but most times the updates are free, even when there have been significant new features added.

Your LULU investment grows with you.
