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.
This dayshift is the Doyleton trip, so the shifts are somewhat different.
1st shift (bus ride) = April 10th through April 12th
2nd shift (Doyleton morning) = April 13th through April 16th
3rd shift (Doyleton noon) = April 17th through April 20th
4th shift (Doyleton afternoon) = April 21st through April 24th
5th shift (Doyleton evening) = April 25th through April 28th
6th shift (bus ride) = April 29th through May 1st
7th shift (dinner) = May 2nd through May 4th

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)
