<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><em>Points to discuss - Important things to review</em></span>… </div><br/>1.<del>I mentioned earlier that I'd like to keep one IC thread, and then separate threads for the pairings. However! There is a limit on the number of threads Small Group games can make (based on the number of players). So, I'd like some suggestions as to whether we should make the additional threads based on the men or the women. Example: Whose Keys IC Thread; Whose Keys - John's Room; Whose Keys - Bill's Room; etc. I think this makes the most sense since it is the women who are shifting around. Is everyone ok with this?</del><strong>Alright! IC &amp; men's rooms it is!</strong><br/><hr/>2.<del>How do we want to line up the initial pairings? Would you like to do an anonymous poll &amp; send in your preferences to me and let me decide? Or would you prefer to do like we will do for the key game and let the dicebot roll?</del>;)<strong>Dicebot!! Woo! I will give instructions for those who haven't used it before...</strong><br/><hr/>3.<del>Is everyone agreed on putting the setting in the 70’s? I realize some of you were not even born then *ahem* But, I don’t think it’s going to be a huge factor aside from character looks, music playing, food, etc.</del><strong>70's FABulous!</strong><br/><hr/>4.<del>I’m assuming everyone is ok with a beach house setting – do we want to make the place anonymous? Do we want to use an actual city? Made up one? (Yes, I’m a stickler for details, anyone who has played with me before will know this.</del>;)<del> haha)</del><strong>Anonymous city FTW!</strong><br/><hr/>5.<del>Obviously, I'd like for us to have the initial pairings done first before we get into too much character discussion...I'm not going to make a separate profile thread since it's only the 8 of us. However, once we have the pairings squared away, I would like for everyone to post (at minimum) a brief description of their character &amp; personality. Remember that these are all people who know each other and are friends. So, if our character personalities are fleshed out a bit prior to starting the game, it will help everyone interact better. I would like character pictures as well, if possible, but it's not necessary</del>;)<strong>Pictures or drawings only for Profile images...please wait til initial pairings are set to post full profiles!</strong><br/><hr/>6.<del>As I mentioned below, I'd like to set "end by" dates to move things along at a decent pace. This game has a beginning, middle, and END, so it really depends on how long everyone wants to keep at it. To explain further - the main scenes will be: arrival/party; 1st night w/spouses; morning/aftn/evening/party; 2nd night w/others; morning/departures. So, how long do you think will be needed to complete each scene?</del><br/><strong>Thanks for voting, everyone!

A<del>re the gentlemen ok with using <span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Delta Tau Chi</strong></span> as the fraternity? (Mega bonus points to anyone who recognizes it.)</del><strong>I haven't heard otherwise, so I'm going to assume this is ok.</strong><br/><hr/>8.<strong>Profiles...Not really a "discussion point" for the group as a whole, but I'd like them up by Friday the soonest, Monday the latest...Please, please, please coordinate w/your "spouse" - names, background, age differences, how they met, etc. This will NOT be the first weekend get together, so everyone has met at least once before. This WILL be the first key party. Let's get our stories straight before we start, please. Additionally, I know I mentioned it elsewhere, but I'd like at least one good paragraph for your profile. You don't have to write a book (in fact, please try to keep it under 1,000 words), but the more depth you give it, the better.</strong><br/><hr/>9.<del>We will need to agree on a start date. Once this is agreed upon, </del>you will need to coordinate w/your partner so that both of you "enter" the beach house at the same time. Obviously, I will be the first to post, as I am the hostess. ;) I will switch my offline/online thingy back to visible once we start so you all know when I'm around. When you and your partner are ready to enter, please make sure I am on (or zoarster - hubby, you'll greet the guests too, won't you? ;) hehe) so I can greet you, show you to your rooms, etc. (I'm almost always on this damn thing, I sleep from 3 or 4 am to about 10 am central [-6] time :P)...<strong>Seems as though everyone is alright with starting on Monday, August 1st. Just a reminder that your characters may come in at any time after that, but please make sure you enter WITH your spouse (for your first posts)! Thanks!!</strong><br/><hr/>10.<strong>We will roll for the Key Party starting on Sept. 15th. We may need multiple rolls, but I want to have the next set of couples set by Sept. 21st, as this will give everyone time to discuss things. If there are any holdouts, I will do the roll &amp; send the results to them. Any questions or problems with this, PM me. *amendment* After testing things out with the dicebot, I'm going to have the girls roll 6 dice, all with 500 sides (this can be done at once, I'll send out instructions when it's time). I'm going to take each grouping of numbers and line them up accordingly &amp; the first set that rearranges us properly (new partners) will be it. Again, if anyone has questions, PM me!</strong><br/><br/>That's all I can think of at the moment. Please let me know what you think!<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: lucida handwriting;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">~Kit</span></span>
