Ahahahaha, no, I kid, I kid. And I'm hilarious. In fact, those of you versed in basic time conversions may have already figured out that this is the official announcement and signup post for 3 Minute Dates! On Saturday, February 1st, characters who get signed up in the comments to this very post will be paired together by the RNG and my desperate attempt to prevent duplicate dates and people dating themselves. Standard rules apply and will be cut to get to the special BDE wrinkle.
( Same rules as always live under here. You only really need to read if you need a refresher or haven't done it before. )
*BDE-RELATED WRINKLE: So, with the preliminary part of the BDE going on and plenty of history involved in the 15 previous 3MDs, I decided it would be fun if random quotes and lines and rejections from previous 3MDs came back into play. So I've decided for some reason that it would be a good idea to dive through old 3MD posts, grab a whole bunch of dialogue that might be fun to use, and share them in a![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fhplotterywheel post ahead of this 3MD. These quotes will be free for anyone to use during the dates. HOWEVER, just to keep things kosher, I'm asking for permission before even starting this crazy project. If you would like to offer any of your previous character dialogue from a 3MD for people to hear, please sign up in the appropriate thread. This is completely optional both for letting me take dialogue and for you using it in the course of your dates. You can even give permission without participating in the current dates! Hopefully this will be fun to play with and might either help you sweet talk a date OR get them to throw a drink in your face. I'm happy either way.
*The 3MD post will go up Friday evening (January 30) 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 February 1, 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 first and last names (written the way it should be called out during the event), 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 can't drink at the Devil's Nest, let me know if you'd rather be matched with teenagers or adults (or no preference). Signups will be open through Wednesday, January 29 at 11:59 PM Central to give me time to smash random numbers together.
