April Fools avatar switcheroos, 2016

[gay_Aleks]

when IOTers start posting in OT

clearly, a sign of the end times

 

[Lohrenswald]

Both my avatar and Lohrenswald's come from the same anime and were made by him.

Made is a strong word

I'll change things up on April Fools Day.

Welcome back

 

[Mouthwash]

I wanna do this. How does it work, exactly?

EDIT: Do we call dibs or something?

 

[Mise]

Yeah! Haven't done this in years...!

EDIT: Just realised I'm not going to be here on 1st April

 

[Borachio]

But commensurate with adopting the avatar you also have to adopt the posting style of the poster you're swapping with. So what's nega-borachio like?

Beats me.

Methinks nega-borachio would post in USian English, use an outdated measurement system and not be creeped out by the sexual advances females of his own age attempt to make towards him.

What? She's actually 87 and I'm a mere 62. By any measure, hardly a female of my own age. Unless after a certain age - say, 28 - bang! everyone over 28 is just plain "old".
-------------------------------------


Come to think of it, it's just easier if I opt in for a swap with somebody else.

But who? I mean who can post in my style when I don't think even I'm capable of it?

And I'm certainly not capable of posting in anyone else's style. Unless....

Age/2+7

 

[Takhisis]

So, applying our trusted formula:

(87 ÷ 2) + 7
43,5 + 7
50,5​

Obviously Borachio is too old for that woman. it is true, he's a mere 62.

I am in.
Never had a double. But I am curious what the implementation would be.

You just change your profile to use those specifics of the person you are swapping with. You can post your profile items in this thread for them to pick up.

 

[Zack]

Think he might have been referring to a potential impression of his posting style.

 

[Takhisis]

Are you in as well, Birdjaguar?

 

[Birdjaguar]

Are you in as well, Birdjaguar?

I'll say yes, but my schedule is uncertain. So i may wind up swapping and then not posting much. The first is a Friday though unless I'm traveling, it should work.

I'm in.

 

[Takhisis]

Pity that you aren't a moderator so we can't pretend to be handing out infractions, but one can't have it all.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Sometimes I miss it. Other times I don't.

Why swap? It would be more fun to circulate them in groups of four or five. Anyway, will this include signatures?

If you can organise that that would be acceptable

Anyway, will this include signatures?

yes
also location and custom user title and all that

Anyway Lucy said she might be interested in using my avatar, so I'm open to switching with her.
I'm saying that to sort of get some activity/planning in the thread, I guess

 

[Takhisis]

Mouthwash, you can arrange for more than one person to get the same avatar/signature/usertitle/location/whatever. The only thing we can't do is edit our postcounts. Well, the admins can, but they're big meanies who won't.

 

[Double A]

I'm sure I can post 15k times before April.

 

[W|M]

So nearly once every two minutes, 24/7, from now until 1st April?

 

[Double A]

Sounds easy enough.
