OH MY GOD IT'S LIKE A BODYSWAP VIRUS EXCEPT WITH THE MODS INSTEAD OF CHARACTERS. Nope, just Suki doing the poll this month.

The usual rules go-- vote for two 4-day and two 1-2 day, don't vote with a journal not in the game (or if you do let us know), feel free to promote your choice in the comments. There's an extra question this time, though-- periodically we like to make sure everyone's cool with the way things are going with viruses and events and the like. So we've put in three options: one, keep things the way they are; two, vote for one virus and have the mods pick the other one (we'd pick one that allows for CR if the voted one is more personal, or pick a lighthearted one if the voted one is dark, etc.); three, keep voting the same, but have the mods throw in more events like the haunted cruise ship or Oregon trail to mix things up. Or let us know in the comments if you have ideas!



FOUR DAY

- Done With You Professionally virus: Characters are convinced they are actors of their own canons. :|b
- Who Are You Anyway virus: Characters forget someone(s) close to them, and have fake memories to match. Think What If virus.
- Sailor Moon virus: Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight...
- Soul Eater virus: Become a Weapon/Meister, ???, BATTERU Profit!
- A Moment In Time virus: Suddenly, telepathy! Direct memory connections mean trauma times.
- Daemons virus: Animalistic representation of your soul and personality, GET!
- Blackest Night virus: Horribly traumatically relevant zombies are coming for you.
- Powerswap virus: The old power switcheroo!
- Supers virus: The world is a comic book, and you're the hero/villain! Hope you don't turn out with Blessed With Suck…
- Bodyswap virus: an oldie but a goodie.
- Inner Thoughts: another old favorite. Characters' thoughts show up in their comments.

One day

- Lost in Translation virus: Translator Microbes fail. Sign language and picture responses imminent.
- No Consequences: Nothing you do today matters! ...wait, it does.
- Wardrobe Malfunction virus: Expect to keep making like Janet Jackson.
- Emoticons virus: :O? D8!! ...=_=;;
- Memories Can Weigh You Down virus: When we say the past lies heavy on our shoulders, we mean it.
- Mushroom Samba virus: Dude, dude, dude, look at that waving cactus clown over by the singing rainbow! How awesome is that!
- Last Day virus: Characters believe they only have one day left to live.

Ooh, that's a good idea. The only thing I'd worry about is scheduling-- how to keep that from taking away a virus slot, but at the same time not overwhelming the month with constant viruses. I do like the idea of giving people options that aren't canon-specific, though.

we started to get into the habit of having event comms, it may be beneficial to bring it back for BIG events/virus-like ones-- like had the harry potter one been one or the shadow plot been one, too. it'll ease it off the main community giving people who aren't involved an opportunity to continue playing as usual and kind of makes it more like a novelty imo. ): dddinos and dddysentery are always fun to go back and read too sobs.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

as for schedulding conflicts, i think with the opt-in feature, people will manage what they want to do just fine if you keep polling too. i remember for a while i used to pre-poll before putting up these posts if people wanted two viruses, an event and a virus, etc etc which gave people the opportunity to pick how heavy the month was, really. or maybe i'm making that up BUT IT'D BE A GOOD IDEA EITHER WAY I THINK

I'm seconding all of this. It makes sense.

This is why you are the hipster queen of my heart.

Brilliant plan is brilliant.
