Visitors for Day 36
It's that time of the year week again!
VISITORS.
If you want your character to get a visitor (a family/friend from their "real" life who looks/acts nearly identically to someone from their canon who isn't already at Landel's) tomorrow in-game, fill out the poll below. (The visitor can also be a "rehabilitated" character who was previously at Landel's.)
The guidelines are simple:
You can only have one of your characters get visited; it can be any of your characters, and if you've had a character get visited before, you can have a different one do it this time if you want or you can stick with the old one. You can choose a different visitor this time too, if you want to. \o/ Basically, you get to choose what you want. That wasn't redundant. You may also choose for your character to get a small group of visitors, but only if the NPC mod would be able to realistically handle it; multiple characters getting one visitor is okay too.
However, we encourage you not to get your character visited if you don't have any solid idea of who would visit them or if you just aren't into the whole idea in general. We're going to have a bunch of characters who need visitors and we only have so many NPC mods to go around; they'll be stretched thinner if there are more people to cater to, which will lead to slower posting for everyone. Still, don't let this dissuade you if you have been looking forward to this! ♥
Enter in the text below something along these lines: [Character you want to get visited], by [Character visiting them] (Relationship to Character)
Example: Sora, by Riku (best friend)
[Poll #1269637]
We'll leave this poll open for a few days and then the NPC mods will claim who they want to NPC for based on the fandoms they know. We also might be recruiting some players, but only if we need to. :X
FAQ
Q: What's the policy on other players [non-NPC mods] playing visitors?
A: We let players help with visitor threads if a fandom is obscure/no NPC mod knows it, we're short on NPC mods, or if the player has a player in mind who they really want to play out the thread with.
Q: Can you ask for a visitor if your character is currently on hiatus? I'll be putting him back out there at the beginning of dayshift, but I want to check if that's a problem.
A: So long as your character will be back during the visitor dayshift, you may request a visitor, yes!
Q: Is it possible to ask for the same visitor? Or one where the other visitor would come from the same "universe" as the first visitor, so the stories they have would match.
A: Yup, you can have the exact same visitor you had the first time as you have this time, and all subsequent visitors should have matching stories about your character's "real" life.
Q: I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to make a special guest appearance and play their old character (now dropped) for me. Would this be an issue since they're not in the game anymore?
A: We've actually done this before with an old mun coming back to NPC their now-dropped character in a visitor thread; since they played the same incarnation of the character in the game, it's fine if a former player comes back for NPC duties.
