Hi there! This is Shay, and this is my silly little shipping game idea. Welcome to the HOLIDATE interest check! Thank you for giving the game a look! HOLIDATE is a shipping game themed around winter holidays and Christmas romance tropes specifically. It borrows heavily from Are You the One?, both the reality television show and ![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
starswept's short-term game from earlier this year. The premise is borrowed and tweaked with her permission!
HOLIDATE is a short-term, private game that will run on a weekly event schedule from Halloween to mid-December, with an "off" week with no major events to accommodate Thanksgiving. Each week, characters will compete in romantic challenges and dating scenarios while trying to find which other participant the game runners have selected as their Perfect Match. If all matches are found by the end of the game, every character will win a "Holiday Miracle" and be able to have a wish of their choice granted. While the basic structure is reminiscent of other short-term setups like murder and mafia style games, it is my intention that HOLIDATE remain low-pressure throughout its run. The short duration and end goal for the characters will still create the incentive for rapid CR development; however, participation in every single event isn't mandatory. This is my Christmas gift for my friends and I want to make it a positive, cozy experience.
If you haven't already, please check out the premise, rules, and FAQ for more information about the game. If you have any other questions, I'm happy to answer them as well! I'm very excited to play with everyone, and I hope the premise has piqued your interest!
The interest check is now running! Go wild in here, enable each other, hype one another up, and most of all, remember to make some holiday wishes come true!
If you're interested in playing, you can use this form to post your interest check comment in style!

Character Considerations: I'm still deciding, but! I have really been wanting to give Hayakawa Aki from Chainsaw Man another shot. I almost don't want to go into too many details for those who haven't read it (because I want everyone to either read or watch this one), but... he is a stick-in-the-mud romance-less disaster with a silly hairstyle and horrible wintertime seasonal depression, so it should be great.
Potential back-ups could be... probably characters that would involve me doing a lot more canon review LMAO so I don't know, uhhh, Asato from Lamento? Luna-Terra from Heaven Will Be Mine? This is me sparing y'all from the most questionable characters from my muselist, but... Those are the thoughts in my head currently.
Certainty: Yeah, pretty certain! I'm not very experienced with short-term games and I do have a handful of other time commitments (tabletop games, FFXIV raiding), but I want to give it a shot!
Questions, Comments, Concerns?: I don't think so...
Anything else?: While looking for a shitpost to put in here, I was reminded that there's a character in Chainsaw Man named Santa Claus. Anyways:
me except i'm also actively forcing all my friends to watch

I like all of your options...! I figure Aki very much needs to learn the reason for the season and could therefore be cheered a bit by some mistletoe magic... Luna-Terra I feel would also be a hot disaster? But I'm lazy and love to enable the route of least canon review, too.

i figure i need to get out there and rp him before the anime comes out and he becomes more popular, because i tend to get allergic to characters once they get too popular in rp... but i REALLY WOULD like to try to inject some positive associations into winter/holiday time for him because currently it's mostly just [ sadness ] ... haha... 😅
tho the concept of luna-terra does make me laugh... maybe next time
