The Return of 3 Minute Dates!
Hello, all! It was suggested that 3MD return and lo, 3MD returns! And just in time for Valentine's Day! Next Saturday, February 15, Caritas will once again become the place for the lovelorn, or just people looking to get out and socialize! Sign up in this post and you'll ICly be put on the list to experience a series of up to five dates, be it romantic, platonic, or ending in the lake!
The traditional rules:
*3 Minutes = 10 pings, up to 5 from each character. You can of course take a ping or two to wrap things up, but please be efficient. 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.
*An attempt to pair characters up by sexual preference will be made. That said, it all depends on signups and it's more likely that you'll end up with a mix of genders that you/your character may not have signed up for.
*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 (February 14, yes I am single) 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 15, 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.
At this stage in the game the number of rounds will depend entirely on the number of people who sign up. If you want more interaction, please throw more characters in! This is open to anyone who's on island. Do you conveniently have an alumni who might show up for the weekend and get roped in? GOOD. I encourage it! Would your character absolutely not do this and be nowhere near Caritas on purpose? I guess it's time to get kidnapped by some Fandom wildlife to hang out at a bar for up to fifteen or so minutes, or something!
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 date preference (if any). Comments are screened by default, questions will be unscreened and answered. Signups will be open through Wednesday, February 12 at 11:59 PM Central to give me time to smash random numbers together.
