You are freaking tired of your mother trying to hook you up with her podiatrist; your best friend saying that the guy at the coffee shop is perfect for you and everyone asking at the family reunions when you are going to find a nice guy or girl to settle down with. It is never ending and you've tried the online thing only to be hooked up with a number of losers who look nothing like their uploaded image. It is time to get away from it all and just see if you can do something about this, if even for the week. After some talk with your travel agent you found [b][i]the[/i][/b] spot. Pezula Castle in South Africa. It has sun, sand, mountains, romance and is for singles only. Okay you can do this. A Passport check and a flight later and you have landed in one of the most beautiful places you have ever imagined. If you find romance, great. If not least it should be a lot of fun just looking at all the yumminess running around the beach. You begin on Day 1 of 5. You are settled into your room and are headed to the Speed Dating Event to kick off the weekend. You will be paired up, get 90 seconds to talk and then move on to the next. It's like an all you can eat buffet of hotties. At the end of the exchanges you will contact your trip coordinator (the GM Via PM) - and let them know your top five choices. After which you will be paired up for longer more intimate dates as the week progresses. Everything goes well you might actually find the love of your life. If it doesn't, you're at least going to have a good time right? Wait, what happens if you really fall for someone that isn't interested in you? Well, try to crash their dates if you want! Show them where they messed up. Have fun with it! That is what this whole week is about! So, pack your bags! You're off to Africa and this isn't any Blending moment, this is pure unadulterated last chance option before you become the crazy cat lady or man. Let's see what you can dish up! Heck, are you seeing someone on the side when the dates aren't planned? Oh, this could get juicy.

(You can still be any sexuality you wish though.) - We will start at the opening of the Speed Dating Scene and take things from there. This RP will go through the 5 days at the resort. The Beginning Speed Date will consist of a kick off where you will be randomly assigned your starting pair. Each pair will get 1 colab (or one post each) to go through your 90 second date. Then you will be repaired with another until each female has had 90 seconds with each male. After that is done, you will PM me, the GM, with your "likes" - I will tally them up and the ones who liked each other then most, top 5, will begin a series of planned dates that will happen over the week. At the end, votes will come back into me once again and we will see if anyone found the real thing. ^_~ [b][i][center]Current Interests And Face Claims[/center][/i][/b] [@Lady Amalthea] - Heath Ledger/Zoe Saldana [@Charnobylisk] -

I have been at this RP business a long time, decades. So I have a pretty well worked out way of how I run things and what I expect in an RP. I am a bit picky but that only comes from years of dealing with many different things when it comes to RP. First, you should know that I am serious about Rp even though it is a hobby. I don't put up with B.S., trolls, flakers, and so forth. I will kick someone from an Rp if need be but it is a rare thing. (Twice now in all my time as a Gm.) Secondly, I do expect the rules I put forth to be followed - all of them. I expect a certain level, a high level, of respect and courtesy to be shown to myself and to your other Rpers at all times. If you wonder what that is, read my Guide To Rp Etiquette - which you should have by now since it is part of my rules. Thirdly, my biggest pet peeve has always been and will always be those that do not follow posting rules set forth in RP. To not to do so is to be disrespectful to me and your fellow Rpers. I enforce posting rules more strictly than any other rules. To break those is a great sin and you shall be punished. Next, while all of these rules may seem a bit much and I may come off as a hardass, I am actually a very laid back person and am willing to work with Rpers on most anything. As long as the lines of communication remain open and honest, I will bend over backwards for my Rpers when I Gm. I do check posting habits and log ins. When you join an Rp of mine I add you to my friends list. This will show me the last time you logged in, even if you are set to hidden. So if you lie about logging in or being gone, I will know. I am a firm believer of if you have time to spam and lurk you have time to post. It is all about managing your time wisely. Though most here on the forum are younger, I treat all Rpers as adults; with that comes personal responsibility. If you join you will be held to the same standards I hold my self to. I will refuse to let people join an Rp of mine that have given me issues in the past. If you are new to Rp or still learning, I am more than happy to help you to become a better Rper. That includes things on teaching how to prep posts before it is your turn to post, how to do colabs, how to create and stick to your characters, how to improve posts, how to find inspiration, how to get a post done when it needs to even if you have no inspiration and so forth. I like to get to know my rpers. What do you do, what your schedules are like, who you are. It helps me better understand my Rpers and how to better help them along the way and/or make their Rping experience more enjoyable. Now that you know this, please make sure to use it as part of your consideration for joining the Rp. I know what I have said will lead many to not join but I assure you those that do will be taken on a wild ride of twists, turns, unexpected events, laughs until your cheeks hurt and many feels!
