CHARACTER/GAME PERSONALS - JANUARY 2013

[mansionstaff]

Do you have a character that you think isn't getting enough interaction? Do you have a character who you think needs to interact with different people? Do you have a cool idea you'd like to see plotted out? You guys know the drill! Let our matchmaking service work for you!

GAME PLOTTING
Use this handy form and suggest plot ideas you'd like to see in the game. We LOVE GAME-WIDE DEVELOPMENT IDEAS.

<b>Player:</b> <b>Idea:</b> This can be anything from "cafeteria food fight" to "campus-wide murder mystery". No idea is too big or small. Find interested parties, work out details, decide on when/where/how/why together! Just remember anything really huge should be run by the moderators real quick. Use your best judgement; things like hijacking the PA system, minor to moderate property destruction and brawls don't need mod approval, but things like exploding buildings and mass-death should get approval.

CHARACTER PLOTTING
Use this handy form to make your own threads and suggest CR (character relations) you'd like to see in this game.

<b>Player:</b> <b>Character(s):</b> <b>Seeking:</b> Log / Meet New People / Interaction / People to Bother / AIM logs / Tegaki logs, ect. <b>Goals & Directions:</b> optional but recommended

GOALS & DIRECTIONS: Hey, some of us have been here a really long time and might not know what direction to take our characters in anymore, or maybe you've been here only a few days and don't know where to start. There's no better time to start than now, so don't be afraid to express what things you'd like to do with your characters, regardless if it's something that might happen in the near future or a long ways away. Fall in love? Fall out of love? Graduate? Experience what it's like to be the opposite gender? An animal? In the body of someone else? Save the world? Try to destroy it? The more other players are aware of what you want to do, the better your chances are of making your wishes into reality!

THIRD PARTY SUGGESTIONS: Suggest new CR or character ideas, even if it has nothing to do with your own characters. Just put a "THIRD PARTY SUGGESTION" in the title of your comment when you browse the Character Plotting threads, and who knows? Maybe you just suggested a great interaction or idea no one has ever thought of before. And don't forget to spread the love around with as many people as you can so everyone gets a suggestion or two!

A few ground rules:

1. You don't HAVE to accept every offer that comes your way. Accept offers you are interested in, and politely say no to ideas you do not like.
   
2. An offer does NOT guarantee a log or plot development between your characters. Please remember that.
   
3. The final decision about which offers to accept or reject goes to the original poster of the request.
   

That said, have fun and let the INTERACTION BEGIN!

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!

Player: Eek
Idea: Gordon's experiments at night cramped in the basement go hilariously horribly wrong. And the result is...

Something I'm open to suggestions for! Does he summon a monster? Cause a campus-wide genderwap, species-swap or age change? Negate gravity? Or is it just a good old-fashioned million-joule explosion? When you push around the fabric of reality, it has a tendency to push back, so anything can happen here.

Oh man

Oh man I've been wanting some kind of mass bodyswap OR normals-get-superpowers/powered-people-go-normal thing for a while, and this could be the perfect cause for it... If everyone else agrees. I mean if someone suggests something even cooler I am all for that.

Or else AU Week II Happens...

[trustycrowbar]

Ooh, a bodyswap! The classic artifact-or-gizmo-shorts-out-and-now-Ed-is-Sally-is-Steven-is-the-dog thing! I kinda like that.

[hawkhearsyou]

I... REALLY LIKE THE THOUGHT OF NORMALS/POWERS...

[raw_angel_power]

I second the body swap idea. My idea for how it could work is not having sets of mutually-exclusive body swaps (unless someone wants to privately arrange that) but like... How to explain? I guess examples would be best.

So, Bowser leaves his body, right? Since just about everyone is switching bodies at the same time, Bowser's soul somehow ends up in Sable's body. So now we have Sable running around acting like Bowser. But where did Sable go? Turns out she's in Zelda's body! How weird! And of course, someone else is stuck being Bowser and so on and so forth. It's like a conga line. Or like how Whit normally sets up IC Secret Santa. So the result of such a sign-up would wind up looking like:

Bowser
Sable
Zelda
Green
Mary
etc..... and at the end of the line that person gets to be in Bowser's body.

I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE. Of course, you don't have to randomize if you want to and you can set something up with someone else if you have an idea or plot you want to play out together, like any event really. Opinions?

[forgetbeam]

Makes sense to me! I think it's a pretty good idea. Easy enough to keep track of OOCly while causing mass confusion and chaos ICly. If we get people being swapped who have radically different body types/power levels too it could also work the superpower thing in. I just want people stumbling around and accidentally blowing up the school in the end...

[icequeen_aran]

Hahaha oh my god Gordon you are a completely perfect catalyst for all kinds of wonderful things.

MASS BODYSWAPS have been very popular! We haven't had a genderswap in years either. AU week was also very popular and something like that could easily happen again, I think.

SO MANY POSSIBILITIES, REALLY.

[trustycrowbar]

I'M GLAD YOU THINK SO even though Samus doesn't look too thrilled at the idea.

The question is, which one now? Bodyswaps require less pre-planning, so probably that.
