A Social Experiment to Debunk a Hypothesis

I'm an Asian chick and I could really do with someone roleplaying as an Asian. Guy, if only to balance the invasion of planet Venus here.

@Pair of Hearts

Sorry! Carmen was the only character I had on hand and I really wanted to play her. XD

@AbandonedIntel
No biggie. I wasn't particularly ribbing anyone at all.

On that note, @NuttsnBolts yer a master of CS. Shout-out~♡

@Pair of Hearts

Hmm?

I'm no master of coding. I have no idea what you are talking about. I do not like to use colour at all... _{that is because all coding uses the color tags instead.}

Why would anyone ever use Colour CCCCCC on the eyes. The harsh colours of White are much more appealing. If you don't believe me then just look at this paragraph. That word White just draws so much attention that I don't see why anyone would ever use it. Even if you Bold the word as well, it just draws a lot more attention.

Who uses indents on their text. No I just love big blocks of text that flow into each other. And TABs are useless. Why would people want to underline a TAB button press. It's just a blank empty space. Here is a List of more things that suck.

❖ ASCII Symbols

Do not ever use this website.

❖ Hidden abbr Tags

Mahz doesn't have this listed on the site so why use it?

❖ Never Look at the Raw

Seriously, stalking cool sheets and checking out how they used their tags is not cool. Never click the View Raw on the top right of the post. It is not cool to think of them like bookends around text. You should always try to [i][b]misalign[/i][/b] BB tags so they do not work.

One more thing... At the top of a CS never modify it to have one of these:

---

_{⦉ NuttsnBolts ⦙ 29 ⦙ Male ⦙ Damn Sexy Man ⦊
"On a scale of 1 to 10, you're a 9...}
^{and I'm the 1 you need."}

@Pair of Hearts This what you wanted?

@Pair of Hearts You keep on saying there's a Venus invasion, though most of the women shown are either Gay or Bi. The men are both straight and they only got Carmen and Nora. XD I think an even proportion of women/men/nonbinaries (if that's not PC please don't shoot me) to fill up the gap would probably solve itself. Either way I'd just let things progress naturally when the RP begins, most sample sizes in experiments aren't exactly the best.

[Pair of Hearts]

@AbandonedIntel
Thought of that, until I realised how it's difficult to really get an even assemble. A lot of psychology experiments have biased samples (imbalanced gender ratio), so when it ends I'll likely bring it up after the findings.

[BogeyDope]

@Pair of Hearts True, true...

Yeah the best we can really do is just let this thing play out. The fun part of the RP is hearing why the characters are doing the experiment in the first place. XD I won't spoil mine until the RP starts though.

@Pair of Hearts

No problem. It's not a difficult thing, just takes time. I find adding BB tags fun though as it's helping to build something cool... but then again I also enjoy sorting out different size screws in my RC pit bag (Yay for being Random!)

@AbandonedIntel

Sample size can be changed with something as small as time. If @Pair of Hearts posted this a few weeks earlier, you yourself wouldn't be on the forum and thus the stats would change. I will say it's rather interesting how the slightest of difference in events can change the overall outcomes, much like the Sliding Doors movie.

(Also, probably not entering this so don't mind me. I just chat a bit :P)

@AbandonedIntel
Just remember that they have to be invited by a letter ad. Or, well, if you have an alternative suggestion, run it with me and I'll see if it's within (very lax) reason.

I just got jested with that I'm a softie GM so should be fine.

[Pair of Hearts]

@NuttsnBolts
I know. My Hearts senses just know this isn't your cup of oolong.

I'm giving myself a swamp of OOC messages to wade through when I need to refer to CS applications but YOLO. //obnoxious peace sign

[BogeyDope]

I see what you mean @NuttsnBolts, it's a good concept. Crazily enough, the RP Carmen was originally made for had an overabundance of males, though the gender ratio is starting to even out a little. Again, applying your understanding of time for sample sizes, things change, and that's what happened there.

@Pair of Hearts I see, that makes the most sense. I figured a newspaper ad would do too. Since Carmen was a recently freed felon who's making her journey to the US Naval Academy, it would make sense that she found the ad in the paper in her travels and decided to partake in the experiment because (-reasons not spoiled-).

@AbandonedIntel
You can always PM me the ides instead of putting it here to really prevent spoilers.

Gotta say I don't mimd if you continue that arc with someone else in a private roleplay. My psychologist is uncaring for the welfare of others - she just wants a theory proven or debunked, darn it.

[BogeyDope]

@Pair of Hearts True, true. XD I keep on forgetting that there's a PM feature here lol But that's actually kind of a genius idea thinking about it, getting RPers' characters to mingle with other RPers' characters to hopefully continue a lasting 1x1 RP for some of them, all under the name of Science! XD Reminds me of the show Millionare Matchmaker.

Even if it isn't what you intended it's still a nice side effect that comes with it. :)

[BogeyDope]

Is this thing still alive? D:

[Pair of Hearts]

@AbandonedIntel
Yeah?

[BogeyDope]

@Pair of Hearts Ah, I didn't really see much activity, I was afraid no one was signing up and the idea was starting to fall. Sorry I'm weird sometimes. XD

[Pair of Hearts]

@AbandonedIntel
It's only been 16 hours since you applied.

[BogeyDope]

@Pair of Hearts
I'm transitioning from live-action chat roleplays, okay? I don't even know what's the normal time span in these parts :(

[Pair of Hearts]

@AbandonedIntel
Ah, well! For one, it'll be slow compared to live action chat roleplays. Like really slow. But, the plus side is, it's much more developed. Or should be anyway because there's time to prepare, process before putting your post out there.

If you're excited to get into a roleplay, I recommend applying for two or three more so you have more to do in the next week or so. It takes time to collect people. If it's untouched for, let's say, two or three weeks then it probably has plugged out.
