craftyladyparts.livejournal.comYou know how counting things over time inevitably makes you feel old? Well, guess what? THREE MINUTE DATES IS TURNING 20 on Saturday, February 6! Our in-game speed dating can almost drink legally in the real world!
The ground rules are largely the same as ever. If you'd like to participate (ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE STUDENT BOYS, I'm getting that begging in early), please sign up in the screened comments to this post with your character's name (how you want them listed in the post), type (student/townie/teacher), and gender preference for their dates (if any).
But this isn't just a regular 3MD. This is 3MDXX, and as such we're straight up copying the special stipulation of 3MDX: There's a looooooooooooove potion stuck in Caritas's ventilation system above the lounge (and ONLY the lounge, sorry Tino). Throughout the dates, the HVAC may send that love potion your way and make you fall MADLY IN LOVE with your date. Once the date is over and you move, thus ending the potion's spell, it's up to you to figure out what happens. Did that love potion awaken feelings? Is it just embarrassing that you flirted THAT hard? Is it immediately forgotten because you got another whiff on your next date?
And just like 3MDX, it will be a joint RNG/opt-in process. If you would like to have me randomly assign at least one date where your character is influenced by the love potion, please let me know in your sign up. I'll give each round a 1/5 chance of getting whammied, so if the RNG is weirdly in your favor, you could get prompted a few times. You can also choose to have your character influenced for any date you pick.
3MD is a bit of a commitment as it is signing up for 5 threads (if the signups are there... I nearly dropped to 4 last time, so be aware that it's a possibility) of 10 comments (5 per person, which somehow equals 3 minutes) with people with all kinds of availability and time zones. The 3MD post will go up late on Friday, February 5 and be open for SP through the weekend, but the bulk of playing should happen on Saturday. If you sign up and later find out you won't be around at all on the 6th, please let me know so I can make the proper adjustments.
So, all that said, if you're up for five good times (and five easy chances for interaction), please sign up before 11:59 PM CST on Wednesday, February 3. Comments are screened by default!
