3MD time!!
We interrupt your anniversary festivities to bring you some fun for next weekend! That's right, fall's Three Minute Dates will take place Saturday, September 13!
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 friend/love of your life/ONS, there will be a regular Caritas post set after 3MD.
*3MD is open to everyone. Since adults can take classes and students were getting really difficult, it will all be one category now, however i will now be asking for ages (roundabout, don't worry if you don't have a set one). This is because we still probably don't want an 18-year-old dating their teacher or whatever because this event can be ICly awkward for people as it is. You will not necessarily be limited to a certain age range, that will depend on signups and what I end up with as I'm sobbing over pairing everyone up in a way that works.
*An attempt to pair characters up by sexual preference will be made. That said, it also 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 12th, 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 13 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. 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 Wednesday the 11th at midnight CST because my dumb ass made plans for the day I usually spend having fun/sobbing/having fun/sobbing over sign ups so I have to do it early!
