• Genre Swap Given the back-to-back wall of plot events, we figured it was time to liven up the game and have a little fun. In a crazy sort of way. Welcome to Genre Swap Week! This event will take place between March 18th - March 25th. It is meant for you to get a little crazy and have some fun with your muses, so take advantage of it!
• The Event The System has decided it's time to uplift the spirits of Mandalus and have their Honored Guests experience life from another perspective. Maybe it'll make them a little bit happier, or maybe they'll appreciate what they have. Either way, the System hopes some good can come out of this little exercise.
Ever wonder what your character would be like if their canon was a different type? Maybe instead of that heavy drama or science fiction background, they come from a sitcom or an old western! Now is the time to find out. For this week, if you chose, your character will be from a different genre!
• Genres There are no restrictions on which genres you can pick from. All that we do ask is that if you are in a cast? Make sure everyone talks to one another and plans together! It could be where your entire cast wants to play from the same genre, or maybe they all want to play from different ones! Whichever you pick, make sure that there is plenty of communication going on.
• Time Swap Given "period pieces" are a type of genre, you can swap to or from this if you so chose! Again, we're not putting any restrictions on this event. Keep in mind that this doesn't mean that it's just a time swap. If you plan on changing the time period of your canon, then also give a change to it's atmosphere as well! Dark and brooding? Maybe it's a romantic chick flick in the 1700s! Go crazy, have fun!
• Aware of the Swap It's entirely up to you, as the player, if your character will notice that things are different from how they normally are. For example, they can remember their original canon and then wonder why there's a sudden laugh track at everything they say. OR they can be completely unaware and believe how they are acting this week is how they always have. The purpose of all of this is fun, so pick whichever is the best fun for you!
• Archiving Down below will be a comment space for all of you to post your genre swap changes. PLEASE fill these out if you are taking part in the event. Not everyone has plurk in the game, and this will be an easy way for everyone to know what is going on with others in the game.
There will be two forums: solo and cast. If the entire cast is going to be doing something together, please fill out the cast one! Only one member of the cast needs to do this.
• What To Expect 1) At the event start, your character will be changing to however you like! 2) Depending on the circumstances, the Mandalus citizens will either stare at your character or join in. For the most part they will most ignore the changes and chalk it up to what the "foreigners always do."
