This is the official Lounge post for players who want to plan out specific Dayshift threads ahead of time in order to foster desired kinds of interaction and character development. Allow us to stress that
SCHEDULING THREADS IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL, and while there is no limit on the amount of threads you can schedule, we strongly encourage you to take care in how many threads you schedule and try to keep yourself open for random interaction when possible.
Please use the following template when commenting. We suggest
bolding important points so that people who are scanning the post can get a quick idea of what you're looking for. You might also want to use the usernames of the characters whose attention you want so that people can easily ctrl+F to find things relevant to their interests. Your request can range from as vague as "I want my character to make new friends!" to as specific as "I want my character to thread with a megalomaniacal antagonist during lunch, if possible."
You might want to refer to the
schedule to know how to plan threads!
Also, here is the rough schedule for what days each shift will fall on. We provide this as incentive for each player to think about how busy they'll be during the different shifts so that they can properly plan out when they can post their characters out. Keep in mind that some of these dates might shift slightly if extensions become necessary.
1st shift = February 17th through February 20th
2nd shift = February 21st through February 24th
3rd shift = February 25th through February 28th
4th shift = March 1st through March 4th
5th shift = March 5th through March 7th
SUBJECT LINE: character name(s)
Name:Posting Speed: (give a rough idea! fast = roughly 2+ posts per day per character; medium = roughly 1 post per day per character; slow = 1 post every 2 or 3 days (consistently). if your speed varies, say so and explain how if possible.)
Notes: Anything a potential thread partner might need to know, from which days of the week you're fastest on to how many shifts you are planning to schedule (if you want to limit it, say so) to upcoming things that might make you busy at a certain (exam week, trips, etc.)
Character: Interaction/Development Wanted: (what kind of plotting/interaction you're looking for, any specific characters you're already going to be threading with, characters you'd like to thread with, etc.)
When: (be as specific or un-specific as you want)
A few notes: As you can see, Dayshift is set to start on Sunday morning! This is because we wanted to give people a few days to set up threads and also to give Jansen and Claire some time to get their bearings now that they're back from hiatus.
Also, omg, it's Dayshift 69. There's really nothing to be said about this but I had to acknowledge it because I'm five.
