The "no cheating" rule is the dumbest one by far. That cuts out so much potential it's ridiculous and doesn't even make any sense since that's not how people work.

The idea was it'd be a voluntary jam-jar situation where characters are helping an alien race rediscover emotions, with the current selection of characters being dedicated to love and romance. But they need all the data they can get, so characters are encouraged to have multiple romantic relationships, often being switched up or paired together in a way to encourage them to interact. Ships can either sink or sail, with positive and negative emotions providing the data they'd need. It'd be mostly SOL with events for when the aliens decide to spice things up, and characters would have incentives to make them want to stay and help.

That's a really interesting idea! I like that they're trying to figure things out, so you could have them not being sadistic, but just pushing buttons to see what happens. It also encourages different kinds of relationships, hatesex to fluff to friends with benefits.

I can think of a few characters in my roster, already, who would actually be willing volunteers to this.

I want this, anon. I want this so much.

Consider me already reserved.

That sounds really cute and allows a bit more freedom. I think a shipping game could be fun but this current one is a bit too restrictive for my tastes. half the fun of shipping to me is unexpected ships so having to come in with a partner already decided kinda sucks.

allow OCs and I'm there

(Anonymous) 2013-09-12 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
This, I like! If you'll include OCs, I'm so in. Not that one anon saying "I'm in!" at this point really matters, but... y'know. Just sayin'.

I'm not even into RPing random shipping personally but this sounds so cute (and having exploration of romance/relationships without requiring sex is refreshing) that I'd be tempted to try at one point.

Don't be afraid about looking like a "butthurt animu." If your game gets off the ground and stays there, you'll have the last laugh.
