INTEREST CHECK

INTEREST CHECK
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] 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!

Please understand that I was in the middle of a huge endgame love meme epilogue rush when I got this but it has made my entire day. I still haven't picked my Kizuna username (the phrase thorn princess is of infinite amusement to me) but I uploaded this icon to show my unmitigated love and happiness. Especially because I was afraid that the AINI fans might not want to see Kizuna with someone else but now I KNOW that someone is going to be here cheering me on...! Ryuki please learn to take a vacation while you are here. I don't think we've been acquainted in quite a while if at all and I look forward to getting a totally new perspective on our shared canons and the game!

ABSOLUTELY i will be here cheering you on in all ways, I'm so excited to see Kizuna living her absolute best life!!

(Ryuki probably won't learn to take a vacation but it's okay, every game show needs someone to dunk on)

But I don't think we have, so it's super nice to meet you and I'm really excited to play with you!
