This is a reminder that signups for the
bodyswitch event end in a little less than a day and a half~ (I had gotten on about an hour ago to post the reminder, when it would be exactly a day and a half, but I got distracted. =D;)
For those of you who are new, please go take a look.
And~
For those of you who've read the info-stuffs already, there are a few changes and additions I've made.
1. Sign-up will end at 11:30 PM EST tomorrow instead of 11:59. I think I need the half hour to randomize the list. (For those curious: list randomization will be done similar to the apartments, except with an exact number of slots to fit the people. Don't worry about odd or even numbers. I've got it covered.)
2. There is now a list of everyone signed up. Please look over this and make sure that everyone you want on there is on, and everyone that you want to pull out after all is pulled out. If you plan to drop someone during the course of next week, please pull them out of the event beforehand.
3. I'd like to remind muns to tell the people they switched with of their character's powers. (Well, the powers that they can use right now, at least.) Or of any interesting physical differences that someone who doesn't know the series wouldn't know about; for example, Ed's arm.
4. Just for clarification: you won't switch with your own characters, as that takes a large chunk of fun out of the RPing. If you would like to have the possibility open after all, please make a note here.
5. This is more of a suggestion, but please consider thinking up of their memories beforehand, so you don't have to spend a long time negotiating after you switch.
6. Oh! Right! Important one... Since we never did have a modchat deciding otherwise, the characters will be affected immediately come 12:00. Ergo, if they're 10 meters away to begin with, they'll black out from the start and wake up next to each other somewhere around the middle. Note that this doesn't have to be the exact middle. As someone asked, if a person in room 501 and one in room 301 were to switch... No, they wouldn't have to end up in room 401. Depending on what's convinient for the muns, they can end up in the room, in the hall right outside, in the bathtub, outside the window (and promptly falling four stories), etc.
7. ...Keep in mind, though, that the limit is 10 meters, not 10 feet. 10 meters is a little over 30 feet (I think 33-ish? *too lazy to do the math*). So if it was people in rooms 501 and 301, they wouldn't black out. When you think about it, average room height is about 8 feet, or a little under 2.5 meters. These are only apartment rooms, after all. Also, odd- and even-numbered rooms are across the hall from each other, so 301 and 303 are next to each other, not with one room apart. For the sake of establishing distance, let's say each room is is over 5 meters wide including the washroom and whatnots (ie, if you're on opposite sides of 301 and 303 and switched... well, then, you'd be in trouble), and about 4 meters from window to door, with the hallway around 2-3 meters wide (again, if you're both looking out the window in rooms opposite each other and you're switched, you'd get the blackout).
Right. So. This time, I think that really is all.
