So, a few of you took part in a thread in the Muffin room called "Hunks 'R Us". In said thread, innocent victims were taken captive and forced to play a game of insidious portent. It started off as a bit of randomness to fill the time until the initial purpose of the thread could come about, but it soon took over and as of this post is still continuing despite the actual game being finished.
So, what is this game?
Each player is held captive, hands bound and facing one other player. Due to the nature of the trap, there was no escape except through playing the game. Each time the player acts, thinks or speaks a certain way, they become one step closer to being the ideal date for the person across from them. It is a battle of wits to see who can maintain their manhood the longest, or if so desired, who can discover the trigger and achieve their feminine ideal before their opponent. The game ends when one of the two players is completely gender switched, both in mind and body (the other is returned to their previous state, if partially tf'd). The trap lets the two go, but at a price. The two always exits as a couple: mostly boyfriend/girlfriend, but one couple was in fact married in the first incarnation. Whether they remain a couple or not depends entirely upon their actions after leaving the game.
Now, how this translates into an RP:
Firstly, there must be an even number of players. I do not want to deal with adapting for odd numbers again. I also welcome as many people as would like to join. If there are 32 players, fantastic, as long as it's an even number. Also, once I decide to start the RP, admissions for characters will end. There will be absolutely no late comers to the game. Sorry, but things will be complicated enough for me without having to make crazy adjustments on the fly.
Secondly, I will assume that most, if not all, of the player characters will be male. If you wish to play as a female with the game turning you male, you MUST and I mean MUST have another female to compete against. If there are any odd females, they will be tf'd into males and play the game as any of the other males playing. Granted, their attitude and goals will be vastly different, but it the game will still induce MtF.
Thirdly, each human player has a limit of two PC's. I will personally be describing all of the transformations, and it just makes things harder for me if I have to keep track of 10 characters responding all from one post.
Fourthly, do not complain. This is a competition. I realize that most of you will be shooting for your male character to become female, but the math just doesn't allow for that. Also, the trigger{s} has(have) already been decided upon. There will be no playing favorites. The transformations are based on a point system. You will win/lose because the numbers decided it, not me. So, should you have any complaints down the line, I would like to refer you to the following statement:
Grow a pair.
Now, the niceties out of the way, let's get to the fun, shall we?
The setting:
Your characters will enter the game through a dating service called "Sure-Fire Cupid". Because of a lack of women applying to the service, the company has resorted to..."other" means of maintaining their good name. They heavily advertise the guarantee that every single person who applies will find a date the same day, or the company will pay the applicant $100, on top of their money back.
Example character bio:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance: (description or picture, either or)
Personality:
Reason for applying:
Preferred form after losing: (picture or simple suggestions. I recommend suggestions so as to keep an element of surprise)
The gameplay:
Once your character enters the dating service, they will end up trapped in the game. By default, players will be assigned their opponents randomly. If you wish to be paired off with someone in particular, please let me know beforehand either in your character post, in an OOC comment in the RP itself, or by PM (preferred, as this will keep things less cluttered and more mysterious...).
The "winner" is the player who remains their original gender, while the "loser" is tf'd. By default, Slight mental changes are involved with progressing towards being a "loser". If you personally have an issue with this, please make a note in your character application and I will work something out with you.
Once out of the game, each couple is out of my hands. The world is your oyster, and none of it will be provided by me unless it directly involves the dating service. The players will create the world they continue in for each other and themselves. If you would like an example on how to successfully accomplish this, take a look at the "RP Nexus" in the Freeform RP forum [coughSHAMELESSPLUGcough].
You are not "stuck" with your competitor for the rest of the RP. Couples break up. You may decide to break things off after the first date, maybe even before then. For those in this situation, I will provide a "Halfway House." Started by the company to avoid lawsuits, it is a place where any of the characters may decide to live free of rent. They will have jobs and/or education provided for them. It is co/ed, so the single characters will have plenty of opportunities to annoy or to flirt.
Please note that while I am providing this location, you the players will actually decide just how big it is, what amenities it has, etc. Remember, you create the world after the game, not me.
Please feel free to ask any questions, either here or via PM. I know I just laid out a lot of stuff here, but the purpose of this whole thing is to have fun. I look forward to seeing plenty of you here soon.
