OKCINDR POST #3

Ever wanted to have CR with a character and wasn't sure how to get them to cross paths? Wanted a dating app so you can hook up with hot people? Wanted to just find friends because you're a lonely bastard?

With the update of the tablets and the apps, we now have a dating / friendship app called OKCINDR! Players can use it as they please for the two months that it's up -- just imagine that they're profiles to swipe right on and everything. The idea is to encourage CR that may be difficult to get with characters who may or may not be interested in events / posts / logs / other network posts.

So, on September 3rd, characters randomly look back at their tablets to see the following:

OKCINDR PROFILE RESET #3
PLEASE RESET PROFILE


This month, if players reset their profile, they will have a list of...questions...to answer:

What do you look for in a "relationship?"
Do you see through time?
When you stare into the void, is it the correct universe's infinite abyss that stares back?
Please define: existential crisis
How do you justify the color pink?
Does the data not corrupt exquisitely
Do do do does does does ththth e
Does the
Does the
Dies
data
done one one zero one


Additionally, this month, misfires on the meme are much more likely, whether it's a character who wouldn't post their own profile, or comments on other top levels.

Players, of course, are able to ignore this message. However, if a character wouldn't fill it out but a player would like to participate... the profile mysteriously resets itself. There may even be responses sent from Character A to Character B without Character A actually doing anything, if you'd like! This is a completely opt-in scenario! But for players who would like to participate fill out the post:

network profile
Character_Name
@username
ABOUT_ME




If you'd like to for shits and giggles, here's some notifications that may be used:

Name (@username) followed you




Name (@username) unfollowed you




Name (@username) blocked you




Have fun! Code credit.

These people blow up buildings when left unchecked.

I think we may need more than that.

Yes, well, that is also true.

Part of building a community that works together is identifying those strengths and weaknesses, to figure out who needs to be kept in check under which circumstances.

There is a bit of an honor system involved, I admit, but continuing to distrust others and not at least try to form any sort of connection leaves us with far more wildcards in our midst.

[ hm. ]

I don't trust easily. Even if I see the merit of teamwork.

Teamwork even without trust may have its merits. You may even find someone you can learn to trust with time.

Learning to trust can certainly be an uphill battle and not everyone is worthy of being trusted, but I have found it worth the reward. Perhaps you will feel otherwise, but having spent a thousand years in solitude, I do not wish to return to that mindset ever again.

I have spent a thousand years alone in a silent world.

I am still not inclined to trust.

centuries of solitude does not exactly lend itself to trusting easily, does it?

Ending my isolation was not a choice I made, but a necessity forced on me to ensure my survival. It was the people who later came to care about me that changed my mind.

Not that I am suggesting it will also for certain happen with you, but perhaps with time. Although it is never too late, should you find yourself open to it, we all must travel our own path.

My trust issues have nothing to do with my solitude. It was my atonement.

I needed a thousand years to bring my sister back to life.
