Dimensional stabilizer event poll!
24 November 2010 at 01:24 am
The dimensional stabilizer event will be happening next week!
After some consideration, we've narrowed the candidates for the dimensional stabilizer event down to the following:
Bodyswap, genderswap, and sensory deprivation.
Ageshuffle would be exclusive for many characters (you can't go older if you die in your canon; you can't go younger if you were never a child; if you don't age, you probably can't do anything). Personalityswap is something we want to encourage players to find an excuse to do!, but it isn't something the dimensional stabilizer can do; the dimensional stabilizer is restricted to things you can perceive, not personality traits.
So here are the options. Bear in mind that all events are optional; you don't have to participate if you don't want to.
1. Bodyswap. We would want to have a signup and assign characters to swap. Powers would remain with the physical body, not the personality, so this would also be a wacky power experimentation event! Creating a new account for icons would be allowed and even encouraged.
2. Genderswap. This is the common term for what's more like a sexswap; your character's physical sex characteristics will be swapped. Male characters will become female, female characters will become male. No signup required. Your character's gender identification and memories will not change. Creating a new account for icons would be allowed and encouraged. Potentially less fun for our non-humans...
3. Sensory deprivation. The easiest option: no new journals or signups required. You would be encouraged to select preferably one, definitely no more than two of the following for your character to temporarily lose: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, pain, speech. Bear in mind that your communicator will not change, so you may be unable to see/hear/communicate over the network for the duration of the day.
So, with that clarified...!
