As I am reworking my 1-on-1 interest check for the umpteenth time, I find myself wondering, [i]Odin, how will you make your 1x1 thread more needlessly complex than the last time? Will you insert a code that needs to be cracked before the other player finds the secret key to be [b]allowed[/b] to roleplay with you?[/i] And this got me thinking as to what the best "tips and tricks" are for an interest check.

Mind, I am fully aware that this is a totally subjective question, and everyone will prefer different things. But, I am wanting to collect multiple opinions so that I can see what the standard is or should be.

I am particularly interested in the following:

[list][*] [b]Sections[/b]. [i]What sections should be included and which should definitely not? Think about rules, information about self/ideal partner, etc.[/i]
[*] [b]Imagery and 'dress up' of the thread[/b]. [i]How much is too much and how much is too little? What types of aesthetic design choices make you more attracted towards RPing with a partner, and which ones make you want to run away?[/i]
[*] [b]Build up[/b]. [i]What is the best and most logical build up of your thread section-by-section?[/i]
[*] [b]Organization[/b]. [i]What's the best way to organize a thread, organize the suggested plots, and so forth?[/i][/list]
