bluth-illusions.livejournal.comI don't care that this is going to be missed by being posted late on Saturday on Labor Day Weekend, I'm tired of waiting until it's just a little closer. BECAUSE IT IS THAT TIME YET AGAIN! Everyone's favorite in-game speed dating event, Three Minute Dates, will be taking place at Caritas IN TWO WEEKS on Saturday, September 18. For those of you who don't know or need a reminder, you sign up here, I pair you up with people for five rounds of hot, hot pinging action, and maybe some sparks ignite! Or at least you get five threads of conversation with someone that maybe you've never played with before!
The ground rules, as always:
*Three minutes will equal ten total pings, five each. Take another ping or two to wrap up if you need to, but be efficient!
*3MD is open to both adults and teenagers. Teachers and students will NOT be paired together unless I have a critical brainfart when doing the pairings, but somebody will surely point this out to me during the hour it takes me to post the OCD and it will get fixed. Not that this has ever happened. Ahem. Students and townies MAY be paired together if I can't avoid it, but I'll do my best to keep it age appropriate.
*A strong effort to pair people by sexual preference will be made. However, depending on how the lineups fall, gay/bi characters may end up with uninterested straight characters, and two straight characters of the same gender may get paired up. It happens sometimes.
*You can sign up with as many on-island characters as you want, but please keep in mind that each one commits to 5 threads with people in all sorts of time zones. Keep that in mind and try not to sign up more than you can handle.
*The post will go up Friday evening (September 17) and will be available for slowplay through the weekend. The bulk of the playing should take place on Saturday, but if you need to wrap things up on Sunday, that's fine. If you sign up and later find out that you won't be around at all on September 17, PLEASE let me know to take your characters off the list, especially if you've signed up with multiple characters. And if you know you won't be around at all that day, please don't sign up. It never feels good when somebody has a thread or two without any interaction.
If you're interested, please leave a comment to this post with your character's name, type (student, teacher, townie) and gender preference (if any). Comments are screened by default, questions will be unscreened and answered. Also, if you're signing up a townie that's 20 years old or younger, let me know if you'd rather be matched with teenagers or adults. We seem to have a few young townies now, so I figure I should start covering my bases. Signups will be open through Tuesday, September 14 at 11:59 PM Central.
