Gonna work out the details a little more, but I think We should get something going for a date night, just to give us something to look forwards to on that day.
Idea is to get everyone changed into a new character that's at least passably fleshed out and act as someone else that night. For those in attendance, we'll randomize the pool and then pair you off with someone else.
Genders might be an issue, but those that would like to volunteer to switch genders if need be would be greatly appreciated, for those of us who might be a little particular about certain pairings.
If your interested, say so, then start working on a new character!
When changing into your character that night, switch into your private room and wait a few minutes.
Edit: Everyone who intends on participating in this event, Please fill out this profile so I can start working on this. I'll edit this post if I think of more information that would be needed.
Gender of character:
Willingness to play opposite gender (y/n):
Preferred gender of partner:
RP-length posting capabilities (Sentences/shortpara/para/multipara. Be honest):
RP-post length of partner preferred:
Acceptable post-length of partner (As in, wiggle room):
Concerns/Special requests:
You may want to grab a profile for everyone that includes their preference for RP style. Some might not mind at all. But some prefer short paced things, and some prefer things a bit longer. So in addition to gender, and gender preference, that might be important.
Good idea, though the downside would be that it could be a way to stack the deck, as it were.
EDIT: I realize I will have to grab a profile anyways. Or, I might just do this event a little bit differently than first imagined.
Original idea was to do it so neither party knew who was who, but this may/will pose some problems for people in a few ways, so I'll think up a short little profile and then run things by Libby as far as ideas, goods/bads, and what further information should be gathered.
Alternate idea is for willing volunteers to be the blind date with new names.
As far as profile, I would gather
Gender of character:
Willingness to play opposite gender:
Preferred gender of partner:
RP-length posting capabilities (Sentences/shortpara/para/multipara):
RP-post length of partner preferred:
Acceptable post-length of partner (As in, wiggle room):
Concerns/Special requests:
I love the idea, and would be interested.
Though I do wonder how you would manage no one knowing who the other one is.
Politely asking Azh to turn off the 'View User Profile' feature in the chat, and people swapping names/characters.
Mostly a bump, but I did edit the first post.
Please fill out the information if you intend to participate in this event, and do so ahead of time so I get a feel of what might need to happen. Also, do give comments and concerns, or PM me, with more info.
One concern is that if we fill out the form here, then everyone will know who is playing which character. :p
Nowhere do I specify a name for the character, though! But, good point.
I suppose that's true, actually. I was just figuring profiles would make it easy. But without names, it's just going to be based on assumptions. Could work. :)
i could be up for this... i genuinely cannot remember what day valentines is though. i never remember... part of being single.
The 14th, a tuesday.
I'm game! I am SOOOOOO game Latti!
Sure why the heck not?
Gender of character: Male
Willingness to play opposite gender (y/n): No
Preferred gender of partner: Female
RP-length posting capabilities: semi-paragraph, paragraph
RP-post length of partner preferred: Same
Acceptable post-length of partner: Any length is okay if its over 2 sentances
Concerns/Special requests: None.
this actually sounds like a good idea and im totally into it
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
If you are going to attend, PLEASE, fill out the little profile found in the first post, that way I can plan for that night! I don't want to have to ask everyone this the night of (Even though it's an eventuality, anyways)
As far as the night itself, I think I'll have everyone switch to some generic username, and switching font colors back to standard, before assigning everyone, at which point they can jump to another channel as they wish, or stay in the main channel and change their name to the character name they will be using, which will be gathered that night or through PMs.
Revenant AKA Angelo Reeve/Angela Reeve
Gender of character: Male
Willingness to play opposite gender: I prefer playing male, but Revenant can gender swap at will.
Preferred gender of partner: Female
RP-length posting capabilities (Sentences/shortpara/para/multipara): It varies, depending on the situation and how much I feel I have in my head to add to it.
RP-post length of partner preferred: Any, I'm not picky.
Acceptable post-length of partner (As in, wiggle room): See above. That said, I try to match post lengths, and I generally expect at least an attempt at the same- not that I'm expecting a book from anyone...
Concerns/Special requests: I'm into a LOT, and there's also a LOT I'm not into... It's too much to list, so please feel free to ask/try things... Remember, it's a blind date after all, who knows WHAT to expect?
