3MD!!!
Me again! It's a new school year, which means it's time for Three Minute Dayew! On Saturday, September 10, your characters will get to play out serieseses of dates with other characters. Whether you want a hookup or just want to thread with some new people without working for it, it's a good time.
The 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 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, the 9th, 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 September 9, 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 we don't have enough for five rounds (hello I will start begging for student signups now), I may have to have round five be a second date with characters you've already had. The more players sign up, the more variety in your dates! If you want to make sure you're not fake dating the same player a lot, convince your friends to sign up to widen the pool. This is open to anyone who's on island that weekend. Do you conveniently have an alumni who might show up for the weekend and get roped in? GOOD. 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! Does your character not want a date but just wants to talk to people? Perfect! Are you in a committed, loving relationship? Don't care! In fact you probably should meet friends outside of it to keep it healthy.
SO. If you'd like to participate, drop a screened comment below with your character's name (how you want them listed in the post), type (student/townie/teacher/alum) and date preference (if any) by Thursday the 8th at midnight CST so I can smush all your characters together.
