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!

We will be putting up a mingle that encapsulates the entire Dayshift, just as we did last time, so there is no longer a strict shift change schedule!

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.)

You might want to refer to the schedule to know how to plan threads! Also, there will be some changes in the shift activities. Instead of a lunch shift, the third shift will be spent as a free choice shift with bag lunches of snacks given out.

Also, as detailed in this post, Dayshift will be a mingle log, still in prose. It will last from November 20th until December 5th, after which dinner shift will begin as normal.

While you're able to do multiple threads simultaneously, we ask that players try not to do more than 4 threads, just like any other DS.

NOTE: IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE INFO POST ABOUT THIS COMING DAYSHIFT, PLEASE DO SO BEFORE COMMENTING TO THE PLOT POST.

Have fun!

All right, everyone!

As promised, here is a plotting post, but it's not like our usual ones. This is meant to be for the end-game plot as a whole. Essentially, just comment with an explanation of what you intend for your character to do in the end-game plot, how you want them to get involved, etc.

If you aren't sure what to do with your character, you can mention that too! In that case, it might be a good idea to give a list of their possible strengths so that others might have a better idea of how to incorporate them.

Outline things like which notes they've gotten from the rebels, what their personal plans are, along with their overall goals (is it to kill Landel? to get home? to remain on this world but try to fix things? to join the rebels?) so that others have something to work with!

I should also mention that as things really come to a head, it will be possible to kill your character off in a permanent way as their "ending," if you don't want them to return home or stay in the Landel's world.

And that's about it! Comment around to people, coordinate, do the thing!

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.

1st shift = September 20th through September 23rd

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

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.
