Somewhere there's a Maytag Dryer that thinks it's Norma Rae

A looooong time ago we had an awesome plot devised and orchestrated by [livejournal.com profile] thismaskiwear in which the laundry machines on the island went on strike.

What does this mean exactly?

On Monday January 12th the laundry machines will start a revolt and begin to *handwavily* take clothing hostage. This means as the week progresses there are no laundry facilities that work and you have less and less clean clothes to wear.

By the end of the week the laundry machines will be a little more aggressive. On Friday your characters (if they so wish) will spontaneously end up in their underwear today. You pick the point at which your clothes disappear.

Theoretically this should be the point where it will be most embarassing for your character, so that's up to you to determine. If you want to run around all day in your underwear, run down to the laundry room and see if you can find some of your stuff in the newly-released clothing, or grab a robe to cover up within several minutes, again, that's up to you.

And yes this is just an excuse to have your characters use semi-nekkid icons. Don't tell me you don't have them.

Your clothes will not spontaneously reappear, but they will be found in a neat little (washed) pile at your doorstep Saturday morning.

Participation in the plot is purely voluntary. You can always mod your character having done laundry earlier in the week.

The fun begins on Monday, January 12th and the big underwear day is Friday, January 16th. Clothes will be returned on the 17th.

And I pretty much cribbed this from [livejournal.com profile] thismaskiwear's previous posts on the plot so really you just need give credit to her.

Questions? Comments? Concerns?

ETA: Plot is also available to Alumni/Ex-Pats who wish to participate.

Will Prostitute Laundry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8Hn11aPZyM) be involved?

I want to say this wasn't completely my idea originally, but I can't remember who to give credit to any more.

IT'S BEEN SO LONG. BRB feeling ancient now.

. . . I think I still have the laundry strike icon, somewhere. . . .

"Run! It's lint! Liiiiint!"

Ah, memories.

HE KNEW THEY WERE EVIL.

Poor, poor Dor.

Is this limited to on island washing machines?

Because I don't think it would be funny if the Hyperion crew ended up naked together or anything...
