Mistaken Identity Week

[Xykon_Fan]

Okay, so Christmas in July week is going to start soon, but I wanted to see if after Christmas week, maybe everyone would be willing to do this?

Mistaken Identity week is the swap-athon for everyone's avatars. Whoever wants to play posts their avatar into this thread using bold font for the avatar's name and owner, and then using [IMG ][/IMG ] tags after that to post their image. The week before this starts, we will be determining through dice who gets whose avatar. Then, once the week is over, everyone changes back. I think it'll be fun seeing who gets which person's avatar...

Also, during the week (with the group's approval), we will also be changing gender icons, locations, and sigs in order to further confuse the issue.

I'm open to seeing which dates would be good for this event, but I'd like to start planning it a while before so everyone has some time to trade avvies.

July 31st is currently the tentative starting date for this week. Also, you are allowed to choose which avatar you give the person, but it is preferable to give them whichever will be most recognized as your avatar.

We're still getting permission from various artists in order to swap avatars this way. Most people are just PMing their beloved artists, but we would prefer that if they are one of the very popular artists, that you let us just ask them for a blanket permission. We don't want to overload their PM box.

(Look for Avatar Leader Week coming up after a few weeks after this one ends!)

Oh I'm so in...Do the avatar owner's get to decide which version of their avatar goes to the swapee? I know I've got like 5 different foxes...

Cheers,

whoa! hold on! too many weeks at a time. I like your idea, but recomend giving it a few weeks after christmas in july, before it starts up. how about starting july 31? you'll definatly have me joining

[Skippy]

I'm in too, I've had fun so far with the week events...

[Green Bean]

This looks like it could top Gender Bending Week in terms of identity confusion. Count me in!

[Castaras]

IN!

Although if we could just choose the avatars we swap with that would be even better...and maybe swap signatures if we wanted to...

[faerwain]

Cool idea!! In!!

(Oh, and Castaras? Consider this a revenge )

I think surprise is more fun. Actually, with the regulations now, you can influence what you get by posting quick, but still be surprised who get's yours, that's quite perfect.
But a surprise element should stay, makes funnier combinations. (Imagine Ms_E with the Magtok avatar, or a still clueless new member as ZRS)

V Randomizing by dice? Now that would be really, really cool.

[Lord Herman]

Count me in too.

Alternatively, we could assign the avatars randomly, using the dice roller.

[Zephra]

too confusing.

[Flabbicus]

Ooh. That sounds fun. Whoever wants to trade with my noodly-appendaged-self feel free to post next, or if we're not doing that, drop me a PM.

[The Great Skenardo]

This sounds both entertaining and economical. I'm in.

[Nomrom]

That would be pretty hilarious. And difficult. I usually tell who posted what by their avatar not their name. This will definitely be confusing. I'm in.

[Castaras]

Now what would happen if multiple people had the same avatar...*evil laugh*

[Meynolds]

That . . . would be hilarious! Especially if they were talking back and forth.

[Zephra]

OOOOHHH! let's change everyone's aviatars to the same one, and have a drawring on whose avi we use!!

[Skippy]

I totally agree!!! Who will have the lucky avatar?? let's make a list when the time approaches and then roll a dice...

[Vespe Ratavo]

Ooh, me supports everyone having the same avatar.

[EmeraldRose]

I'll be in too! Does this mean we are all one? Or am I going to get to be Vespe?

[Jack Squat]

yeah, that does sound like a great idea, either way, I'm in

[Dragonfoxfly]

I'm in! This seems cool.

EDIT: Oh I am so sorry, I am away that week.

So sorry, I am out.

[Sewer_Bandito]

I'm definately in!

[The Vorpal Tribble]

What about an avatar thats made to resemble another's?

Like this'un's...

[Madmal]

something like this?

[Rama_Lei]

I'm in. This sounds crazy.

[Dihan]

This sounds fun. I'll participate.

[SDF]

Well I know where I'm not going to go for a week.

[Xykon_Fan]

Alright, we have a few options then. I'll leave the vote to you guys...

1. We use the posting method that we have going. Whoever posts next loans you their avvie, and then the last person gets mine. We'd create a new thread for this in which you can only post once.

2. We each contribute an avatar and then throw them into a pool in which each person gets one randomly selected by the dice.

3. We each contribute an avatar and it becomes a first-come first-served list of avvies.

4. We give each person free-reign on who to trade with. Time consuming, but significantly less random.

5. We all contribute an avvie and then the dice roller chooses one we all use.

6. Same as (4), but voting instead.

7. We use one of the first four options, and then save one of the previous two for a future week called either Role Model Week or Stalker Week, in which we all use one person's avvie.

Heheh...avvie sounds funny.

[Madmal]

i'd say 2 or 3...but i'm not sure how many will participate...

[adanedhel9]

Sounds... interesting. Count me in for whichever way we do it.

[Flabbicus]

I don't think the original posting thing will work, unless we make a seperate thread where you can only post once. Zephra, they're spelled avatars, aviatars are a misspelled word for pilots.
