So, here we go! Doctor time is almost upon us, which means this needs to get sorted out fast. First of all, keep in mind that
each player can only have one of their characters in therapy. There just aren't enough doctors to account of all of the patients, unfortunately. (Remember that you can switch which character gets therapy next time this happens, so it isn't like it'll be set in stone if you end up wanting to change things around.)
Some of you already have assignments, but a lot of those have now gotten misplaced due to a few doctors dropping out. But as mentioned, you are allowed to switch, especially since we have a few new doctors. Here is the current roster:
Dr. James Wilson (House, M.D.)
Dr. Gregory House (House, M.D.)
Dr. Andrew Stegman (Kingdom Hospital)
Professor Hakubi Washu (Tenchi Muyo)
Dr. Daedalus Yumeno (Ergo Proxy)
Dr. Jizabel Disraeli (The Cain Saga/Godchild)
Dr. Makiko Kisugi (Boogiepop)
Dr. Mohinder Suresh (Heroes)
Note: Dr. Maggie Burroughs hasn't been dropped, but her player is without a computer for a few months, so she won't be available. This means that her patients will need to choose a new doctor. Sorry about that! Hopefully she'll be back for next time.
Before choosing a doctor, you may want to review their profiles over at
damned_doctors. Anyway!
If you currently have a character that is assigned to a doctor, take POLL 1.
If you do not have a character assigned to any doctor, take POLL 2.
EVERYONE HAS TO FILL OUT THIS POLL. If you don't fill it out, none of your characters will be in therapy.
[
Poll #1326129]
[
Poll #1326130]
Also, the rules for how we do all of this:
1) Each doctor gets an equal amount of patients: By dividing the character count of the community, we figure out how many patient slots each doctor has.
2) Players with a previously-listed character who want that character to keep their doctor WILL keep their slot.
HOWEVER, IF YOU DO NOT VOTE IN POLL 1 EVEN AFTER WE PUT UP A WARNING/REMINDER POST OF WHEN THE POLLS CLOSE, YOU FORFEIT THAT SPOT. (This, of course, excludes people on excused hiatus.)
3) Players with new characters or who want to change doctors get randomized according to who they ask for, and who gets first priority depends on the luck of the draw. (Characters listed as "don't care" will fill up the empty slots at the end.)
4) If, when your character comes up, all slots are taken for their first-choice doctor, your character defaults to their second choice, and if
those slots are all taken up, your character defaults to their third choice, and... we hope your third choice doesn't get filled up. D: (We're making the results of the polls public so that you can see which doctor ends up being the most popular and maybe make a decision based on that if you aren't really set on anyone.)
5) PLAYERS WHO DON'T VOTE IN EITHER POLL WILL NOT GET TO HAVE ANY OF THEIR CHARACTERS IN THERAPY. We will put up reminders to make sure everyone sees the polls, but once they close you've lost your chance. Sorry. :\
