Valentine's Event

[zouichi]

Hi everyone,

I was thinking of putting together a little Valentine's event, since the 14th is coming up. I'll do the writeup, but here are the ideas so far: 
* Another GLaDOS experiment, much like this one, forces the crew to show affection for another or be imprisoned FOREVER EVER EVER
* Basically a version of Zanthi Fever, wherein the romantic feelings between a couple inadvertently spreads psychically to infect the rest of the crew and make them infatuated with each other. Oops.

Both would be opt-in events, and other ideas are welcome too.

Re: GLaDOS

OKAYSO.

As GLaDOS seems to have a strong lead as an idea of a thing that should happen, two things.

1) Should it be everybody has to kiss someone in order to get free again, or should we shake things up?

2) Does anyone want to have a character in GLaDOS's office hours post accidentally (or on purpose I guess if they feel like being a troll) give her some kind of encouragement to do this thing? :P

What if GLaDOS were to do ruthlessly passive-aggressive singing telegrams, or valentines e-cards on the network or maybe secretly arranging blind dates? She can be doing this because clearly there are members of the crew who need more love in their life so she will hook them with people her database deems "compatible."

And if you go the blind-date route, you can mix that in with a thread lottery for maximum hilarity?

I really like the blind date idea, though I also liked the simplicity and easy repeatability/"This is the fourth time this happened to me today!" of mistletoe. :|a

Maybe we should do both

I also like the blind date idea, but there's also something to be said for C&P. (It's way easier!)

[punchedoutdestiny]

Maybe those on the blind dates are those being mopey about either not having a relationship, or mopey over missing whoever they were in one with before the Ohm happened?

...granted that can also lead to a lot of awkward-depressing stuff, but...

SOUNDS LIKE SHOUTAROU NEEDS A DATE

[punchedoutdestiny]

Yes, yes he does.

Simon should get stuck with someone too for maximum awkward. :|a

Yep this is still Zita

[arespectablesoldier]

Some people would have fun with that, though. I think it could be optional? In the midst of the rest of the nonsense some people are expected to hang out together for [x] amount of time. (Possibly there's a field stopping them from being too far apart? IDK)

[thebestoffense]

Also this is still Zita. :V

Uh, Abby could always accidentally explain how emotions are directly-manipulable forces in wizardry...

I really like the blind date/objective ideas.

As someone said, sending mopey people in blind dates with someone supposedly 'compatible' could be hilarious. Especially if the test is based on the saying 'opposites attract'.

But at the same time, would characters already in a relationship/are supposed to end up with someone on board because it's canon, be able to participate? I'd like to throw Barbara at this, but in canon she ends up with Ian Chesterton (even though they're just friends now).
