Phase 8 Claims

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Explanation via thewonderkitten:

We have a Claim Post! It can be updated whenever. People can claim as many damn people as they want to. It's largely to have a sense of organization and make sure we don't have fifteen different Stileses running around.

So like let's say. "Phase" (for lack of a better word) starts -- I decide I'd really like to play an elephant, Nicki Minaj, and my left shoe. So I hop right in there the start of the phase and claim 'em.

A few weeks later, I decide I'm really shit at RPing my left shoe. I don't want to play it anymore. I would, however, really like to play Dani's bra collection and the whole cast of Urinetown. So I go back to that claim post, remove my left shoe from my claim, and add Dani's bra collection and the whole cast of Urinetown. I can do this at any time throughout the phase because goodness knows we get sick of characters or want to break out new characters every five seconds or so.

At the end of like... a month or so, we scrub that motherfucker clean and everyone has to go in and reclaim characters. So if I was playing Nicki Minaj last phase, you are totally welcome to claim her for this phase and we can cycle through characters that way.

Guidelines for each new phase: We're leaving it up to you to decide, but please try to leave your characters that you believe are popular (i.e. the ones that are played most often in mafia or the ones most quickly snatched up) to be claimed by someone else. Maybe wait a day and if they aren't claimed, you can claim them again. Also, as soon as I mark you on the spreadsheet, I will link you to a new bios post (to be made shortly), so please try to fill that out with all of your characters so people can refer to it to get a feel of your characters.

However, this doesn't mean everyone has to wipe their slate clean, they can if they want. It's just a good way of knocking out inactive characters and letting people have a shot at playing previously claimed characters.

Suggestions for you: These are just suggestions and not requirements. Just some things that will help everyone involved. When you are claiming, or reclaiming, please try to include full name/full fandom. I, unfortunately, am not Google personified and I'm not sure whether X-Men and XMFC are the same fandom. Also, if there are different adaptations, please try to clarify which one you are using. For example, instead of saying Sherlock, say Sherlock (BBC) or Sherlock (2009 film). Also, for reclaiming, please try to just reclaim your most active ones at the beginning of the phase. If you have some that you don't play very much, maybe it'll be good to let someone else have a try.

Claiming Rules: Within the first 48 hours, each player will only be allowed to claim fewer than ten characters. Refer to this post for our reasons why.

I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY CLAIMS WITH MORE THAN 10 CHARACTERS. I WILL REPLY TO YOU ASKING YOU TO TRIM THEM DOWN.

YOU MAY NOW CLAIM MORE THAN 10 CHARACTERS

This makes me sad that I don't have Stiles here.

:(

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

she's bummed too. i don't know if she'll know anyone. lol.

or if she'll "forget" when she leaves the mansion.

i guess it depends on if Scarlett comes and if Neal remembers his trip to the mansion or idek.

but she's too far in my head.

i can't stop won't stop.

so if you did play him in the future... they'd be bros.

Stiles is gonna miss the heck outta her. Pretty sure I'm sending him to the next mafia game because he's so louuuud.

There are some other voices kicking around in here that would love Lydia tho.

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

she and ruby are fighting for loudest in my head. Ruby mostly growling/yelling and Lydia yelling with her fingers in her ears. LALALALALALALALALALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU SHOVE IT UNDER YOUR TAIL WOLF GIRL!!!!

and charlie is frowning in a corner.

sam is trying not to provoke charlie or ruby and he doesn't know what to make of lydia yet. lol.

but all but lyds are still on hiatus while cait moves, but she said they should be in NY tuesdayish? so ~fingerscrossed~

i'm going through all my icons right now to make room, etc. i keep trying to figure out a few more...randoms (as in characters)to move around, but i am excited about bringing Lydia to Shore Leave after everything. she needs a break.

Lol part of me really wants Lydia and cranky Quentin to meet. I think she and my Scott would be buddies... She and aria might have stuff in common... Does she need a cute boy? :D

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

she's up for whatever. she's got all her weird little quirks and issues. lol. but she's always up for boys and besties and bros and a goooood time and parties! :D

i'm just gonna toss her out at you post after i get my icons moved around. lol. I feel weird not having any Lydia ones here.
