Three-minute dates!
Hey, everybody! We interrupt your regularly scheduled I Nevers for an announcement!
Saturday, November 3rd marks the return of 3MD! Sign up by commenting to the post in order to enjoy all the fun, romance, and utter insanity that is three-minute dates!
The rules, quoted and occasionally adapted fromcraftyladyparts:
*3 Minutes = 10 pings, up to 5 from each character. Each date is 5 pings per person, plus a ping or two to wrap things up if needed. If you're going to need more time with the new love of your life (or of the night), there will be a regular Caritas post set after 3MD.
*3MD is open to both adults and teenagers. Teachers and students will never be paired together, but students and townies might be, provided they are close enough in age to not be too weird and possibly illegal, or I can't avoid it for some reason.
*A strong attempt to pair characters up by sexual preference will be made. That said, gay/bi characters may end up with straight characters who have absolutely no interest, or straight characters may end up together. That happens frequently.
*You can sign up with as many on-island characters as you want, but please keep in mind that each one commits you to up to 5 threads with people in all sorts of time zones with all kinds of schedules. Try not to sign up more than you can reasonably handle. That way everyone can have a chance to complete all of their dates.
*The post will go up Friday evening (November 2nd). 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 November 3rd, 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 bunch of threads without any interaction.
*If we don't have enough signups to do 5 rounds, we'll do as many as we can. We'll see how sign-ups go!
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. Signups will be open through Monday, October 29th (theoretically; in practice, if you get it in before I wake up on Tuesday, I'm not gonna fuss).
ETA: Oops. Comments now screened!
