April 1 Game-- FAQ
      2002/03/28 10:09 PM
     

All right, everybody has their roles now, and the questions are being asked. To facilitate the clear distribution of information (plus, to save my wee fingers from typing this a gazillion times), I present thee with a FAQ.


Q: So, I go over the whole slipstream and play my role?
A: Erm... no. As explicitly stated in the first thread on this, the play will be confined to one thread in misc.

Q: So, who’s playing me?
A: That’s classified. Keep in mind that not everybody who volunteered to be played was chosen; there were more roles than actors. Something had to give.

Q: How exactly will the thread work?
A: Well, I figure I’ll start a generic party thread like any other. People will come in and ‘play’ as their characters.

Q: What happens then?
A: I’m not sure. I’ve never done this before.

Q: How exactly will I post? Will I use my name, or the name of my ‘target’?
A: Use your name, but be sure to make it clear what gender you are. That prevents... misunderstandings. .

For instance, let’s say I was playing Lil. One of my posts in the thread might look something like this.

quote:
Rov walks in to the room, gushing about her new filk and talks about what it’s like to touch KHC’s hair. After doing that, she bemoans the fact that LoP won’t admit he’s a Tyrant.

(Okay, I didn’t have a lot of time to think that one through. It’s late. I’m tired.).

Q: What if I need to say something as me?
A: Put a post that starts with OOC: and just talk. For instance: OOC: This is so much fun. Rov is my new idol. I intend to found a pagan nation dedicated to worship him.

Q: Will you tell me where the pub is?
A: No!

Q: When will it end?
A: If it begins to get ugly (i.e., people mad at each other), then I’ll pull the plug quite a bit sooner... if all goes well, it could go on for days. With multiple parts. And maybe even a sequel in a couple of months. And T-Shirts. And little keychains. And those little blue muffins they make sometimes.

Q: Is it true that this game causes chastity?
A: Only if you try to explain to an outsider how you spent April 1.

Q: Do you worry that this game will devolve into a flamefest of hurt feelings and misunderstandings?
A: No.

Q: But what if it does?
A: I can always blame John.

Q: But then he’ll never finish A Final Darkness! And we’ll never find out where Gordon came from!
A: I fear you. And that’s not a question.

Q: Do you think the above parts of this FAQ is funny?
A: Not really, but once I wrote it I couldn’t bring myself to throw it away. Really, it’s John’s fault (See how easy that is?).

Q: What are you doing to help end the ongoing war on terrorism in Afghanistan?
A: I sent our soldiers a copy of IHNAT. After that, they no longer feared death.

Q: Isn’t that against the Geneva accords?
A: Probably.

Q: How does it feel to be Alpha of the Tyrant pride?
A: Did you know we get a free parking space? How cool is that?

Q: I noticed you stopped saying anything productive about a page ago. Is the rest of this a frail attempt to stroke your ego, artificially inflating your importance?
A: Probably.

Q: What if I have more questions?
A: Ask in this thread, naturally.

Q: Good God. Will someone be playing you?
A: Heh. Heh. Heh....

Q: When exactly will the game start?
A: At the latest, 0:00 GMT, April 1. Being the unreliable narcissist that I am, it could well be sooner. But not much sooner.

Q: You always post. What the hell is John doing?
A: Running the shadow government that keeps America strong.

Oh, real life always come first! No problems at all. The game is deliberately setup so it doesn't revolve around any one individual.

quote:
ILH: Will we guess who everyone is at the end?

You can guess any time you wish. Informing you whether you're right or wrong will be at the discretion of the 'actor'. I'll post the complete list after the game ends, however.

LOL. Uh...no, I don't think so.

See, Senar, it's not that hard.

I did it all the time I was the mad perseid, and, now that I'm back, I'll do it again.

Now, a message to the person that I'll be playing...

Thank you for letting me try to portray you...I'll do my best.
