LONELY HEARTS DATING SERVICE
MATCH UP POST



So, all the names are in ALPHABETICAL ORDER, except for like three people tagged onto the end Karin is there because I accidentally deleted her and had to readd her. And following each name are the character's dates! I've done my best to avoid playercesting, but if I somehow accidentally paired you up with your own character, just let me know! I can swap some stuff if that's the case.

HOW WILL THE LOGGING WORK?

There will be three big open logs, three rounds of dates! For most people, each open log will have a thread for one date to be threaded. But for those who have six dates, there will be two threads per long, and for those with nine dates, there will be three threads per log. I will set up a thread for each pairing in the beginning, so no worries there! Once I say go you're free to hit it up, it'll be simple when you see it. There will be a directory blah blah etc. Each log will take course of the span of 3 days so the dates will all be happening with different times, and date settings will be provided. The three log posts will be put up a few days apart, so you have time to work on the date before it. And when the next one goes up, keep on going with the one you were already working on! Who knows what can happen!

HOW WILL THE DATING SERVICE KNOW THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING ON THE DATE?

Through the Guides, of course! When your characters meet up for their date, they have to log onto the Lonely Hearts Dating Server and sync up their guides with each other. The guides will have a signal, and will also have range, so you can't just sync up and then split up -- Lonely Hearts will know! The minimum time for a date is two hours long, but Lonely Hearts encourages you to keep it going for as long as you like! Especially if you've clicked!

HOW WILL THE CHARACTERS KNOW ABOUT THIS ENTIRE THING ANYWAY?

Don't worry about that. I'll be making a post, one that will be "sent" to everyone who "submitted" an application (if someone sent it in for them, if their name is on it, they'll be receiving the message. for example, Jade sent one in for Guy, with Guy's name attached, so Guy will be receiving the message). They will also be informed that if they back out of a single date, it'll cost them 5000 credits. 5000 for each one they skip! So don't do it.

CRAP, I'M GONNA BE SLOW THE DAYS THE LOGS GO UP

No worries!! Backtagging is always welcome. Seriously! It's not a big deal, unless you think how one date goes will seriously effect the ones after it.

I'D RATHER DO MY OWN INDIVIDUAL LOG...

That's fine! Just link your own individual log in your thread on the OPEN LOG, so people know where you are.

HOW COME SOME CHARACTERS HAVE FOUR DATES, AND NOT THREE?

For some reason everything didn't even out exactly right, so I shifted some stuff, so that three people have an extra date. If they complain -- well, it was a glitch in the matching system! Enjoy.

These matches were a mix of proper pairing, randomizing, and a cheagle mindset. Enjoy, everyone!

JUST A HEADS UP! This post is TOTALLY OUT OF CHARACTER!! Your character isn't given anything to let them know who they're going on a date with. This is just for us!!
