View Full Version : Mistaken Identity Week

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

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

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

Castaras
2007-07-07, 03:53 PM
IN! :smallbiggrin:

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

2007-07-07, 03:59 PM
Cool idea!! In!!

(Oh, and Castaras? Consider this a revenge :smallbiggrin:)

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.

Count me in too.

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

too confusing.

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.

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

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

Xykon_Fan
2007-07-07, 05:40 PM
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
2007-07-07, 05:44 PM
i'd say 2 or 3...but i'm not sure how many will participate...:smallconfused:

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

Flabbicus
2007-07-07, 05:48 PM
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. :smalltongue:

faerwain
2007-07-07, 05:49 PM
2 or 5, the random element should be in.

Xykon_Fan
2007-07-07, 05:51 PM
I personally vote for #2, and then for doing the Role Model/Stalker week, but preferably with a better name.


Edited: Took that into account flab. Thanks for pointing that out.

Samiam303
2007-07-07, 05:53 PM
I'll participate, if you ever figure out how you're doing the swap..

We considered doing something like this back while the boards were down during the switch to the new forum... In the days of the old board, when you could change display names. However, our plan was ruined when we discovered the new forum only supported one name. :annoyed:

Vespe Ratavo
2007-07-07, 06:02 PM
Anythings good with me, although I'd like 2. And yeah, Role Model/Stalker week sounds fun.

Heheh...avvie sounds funny.

I think 4 is out...because we would end up choosing those we know best and some would be left out.

1 would be good with a new thread, but that's assuming we can each manage to only post once...:smallwink:

I would vote for 2. Everyone post who wants to participate, then choose an avvie to throw into the pool, with a dice-roller selection process. Everyone has an equal chance of getting an avvie this way.

Having said all this...I think that maybe it should go into SMBGs...it seems to be headed in that direction...:smallbiggrin:

Xykon_Fan
2007-07-07, 06:09 PM
Well, I was torn between the two. Here is where all the other "Weeks" have gone. There, it's a slightly better fit because it's a game. I figure a little structure in FB never hurt anyone, but if one of the mods feels the need to move it, I'm okay with that, but I think we'll lose a lot of people...though we may gain even more.

EmeraldRose
2007-07-07, 06:16 PM
True...some people who post exclusively here may be a little scared to venture that way...however, we'll see what happens.

Either way, it'll need a new thread for sign-ups. :smallwink:

Xykon_Fan
2007-07-07, 06:23 PM
What do the rest of you say? Should we throw this into SMBG?

I want to see if it should actually go there before I post a new thread in the SMBG place. I'd rather not create confusion and then find out too late that I've tanked the week over which forum this should be in.

MandibleBones
2007-07-07, 06:25 PM
I'm all in favor of 2 or 3.

Points in favor of each:

2. Randomosity (like strategery, but random) is good when the goal of the week is to mess with people's minds a bit.

3. I, for one, welcome the new One Board Avatar.

EmeraldRose
2007-07-07, 06:29 PM
Just leave it for now..the Mods will move it if they want. :smallwink:

Nomrom
2007-07-07, 06:31 PM
I personally prefer option two. I think it makes it the most random which would make it the most confusing.

Meynolds
2007-07-07, 06:35 PM
I vote number two, for sheer randomness.

Skippy
2007-07-07, 06:35 PM
Yes, let's go with number 2!! I agree on that as well!!

Jack Squat
2007-07-07, 06:35 PM
I do like option 2, but 5 sounds good too.

Xykon_Fan
2007-07-07, 06:39 PM
Alright, 2 seems to be the most popular, so I'll go ahead and let you guys start submitting them. Please submit your avatar in this form:

Avatar Name (Owner)

(Avatar)

((The bold just helps me to see when I'm tallying. I'll let this continue until the 31st, after which we'll set up a list and start rolling.))

((If any of you really doesn't want to do it this way, and you have enough other people who want to do it another way, go ahead and post it, and we'll try to see if that would work.))

((Also, I'll be running an Avatar Leader Week sometime in the future in which one person will be chosen by vote to loan their avatar to all others.))

Just a thought: While I don't think it'll be a problem because most of the avatarists are cool with what you do with the avatar once you're given permission to use it, shouldn't we still be getting permission from our respective artists before doing this? I know the Crowd in the Playground got locked the first time because people didn't originally gain permission, and in case one of the artists who doesn't know about this sees one of their avatars on someone else, we want to spare either the artist or user the embarassment of accidentally making this an issue.

Back to your regularly scheduled chaos. :smallwink:

Yeah, I had thought about this. After we get everyone's avatars together in the pool, I'm gonna have everyone check with the artists to make sure it's okay.

However, now that it's been brought up, may as well set you guys to work on it. PM the owner of your avatar and get their permission to loan the avatar to someone else. I imagine they'll want something in the sigs of the person borrowing the sig so that they still get credit. Something like "(Name of Artist) avatar on loan from (Name of loaner)" Who knows though, just check with your artist. (Poor artists...50 PMs in the same day...heheh...I feel really sorry for Ceika)

Oh, and Emerald, I sigged it. Took out some other unnecessary stuff.

And I'll be in, if she give us permission.

Oh okay, I already sent her one PM asking her to give a blanket if possible. I guess if she doesn't check her PMs though, the e-mail will get through.

I didn't want everyone to PM her since that would take a long time for her to deal with and Ceika's really cool.

or

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p296/urodivoi/oots/magtokunvB.png

Whoever ends up as me can pick between these two, as I constantly alternate between them every once in a while. They were made by urdoivoi, but I haven't seen him in a long time, and I assume he's gone.

Supagoof
2007-07-07, 10:45 PM
Yes, I agree DLD - that would be confusing.

E-mail to Ceika is sent asking for the blanket. Yeah, she's probably not paying much attention to the boards right now due to other RL events.

On the thought of avatarist getting PMd up the whazoo, maybe a simple place to post the thread would be in the Arts and Crafts section? - Just a thought. Though Friendly Banter is more appropriate, in A&C the avatarists could hopefully give blanket permissions then - since they'd be more likely to see the thread. Just a thought.

You could use the Normal Player Avvie (http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/Castaras/CastarasPlayer.png), Christmas player (http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/Castaras/Christmasplayer.png), or Player Pirate (http://s167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/Castaras/?action=view&current=CastarasPlayerLolPirate.png).

Or if you want to be a pie...just choose an avatar from here.... (http://s167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/Castaras/Pies/)

it would be so confusing!

but then again,my life is a not so concentrated version of this game with my brother, who looks allot like me and almost everybody that knows both of us,including or parents call us by eachothers name, example(i'm using our nicknames here,privacy is liked)

The dice roller will pick a random avatar for each person, and then I'll PM the results out (in order to keep people guessing and have it be a surprise even for people in this thread) to the person who I rolled for.

So if I rolled for myself, I'd see how many avatars were left in the pool, roll the corresponding type of dice, and then find out which avatar that number corresponded to. Then, I'd PM myself, telling me which person's avvie, sig, and details they need to grab at.

Is there going to be a seperate thread for tracking all this. In this thread it's too confusing, but in another with a template (Template = way to post in that thread so everything is formatted the same way. Much easier for everyone involved.) on what...

Gender Gender if applicable - Male

I think this is a very stupid idea.

Hmmm...is there a downer in the playground award competition? Based on all the posts I've seen from you (and a few I just brought up), you seem to mostly post negative comments throughout the entire playground. You never seem to agree with anyone, and you often post with a certain air of intellectual superiority as if you are above those whom you are talking to. Bottom line is, as you are not taking part in this event (which is merely the latest in a string of similar events), it doesn't really matter what you think or say about it, does it? All you have done is slightly dampen the normally cheerful mood of these boards. Please try to be pleasant in the future, rather than simply posting that you think something is stupid when your comment was not needed. If it is stupid or boring, I am sure the popularity it was met with at the beginning will quickly subside.

I am very sorry if I offended. I am trying to behave to a negative comment in the most civil way I possibly can. I believe I am still within the code of conduct on these boards, but if in any way I have overstepped the limits, I offer great apologies to the moderators. You guys do a great job on these boards and I'm sorry if I have made your job harder.

For Ceika's sake, don't PM her. I'll send her an e-mail asking her if she minds, and hopefully she'll come post here to give everyone permission.

And I'll be in, if she give us permission.
I'm not one to be a wet blanket, if I can help it. Thanks for the consideration, Supagoof, it makes it much easier to respond (and keep my inbox from flooding) with a blanket statement. I got your PM, Xykon_Fan, and figured I'd post the statement myself. :smallbiggrin:

Xykon_Fan and Supagoof, and anybody else with an avatar of mine is welcome to participate in the swap if they want to.

That being said, I'd like to join in the fun on this one if I'm able to. I can't guarantee how much I'll be able to get to the computer anytime soon, so this isn't an official "I'm in" but more of a "I'll let you know if I can later". I'll check back here off and on until I'm sure how life is settling out for me.

Hey, someone has to say what they think! :) I try to offer a different perspective, mine, it's all I can do here, I'm afraid. I stand for what I think and believe and as you probably have seen I'm open to civil, respectful discussion.

No offense taken for your commentary though, I know I can be taken to be a little negative. That's not my intention but I know it comes out like that.

In relation to this event, I honestly think it's not a very good idea, which is the same I think of any forum-wide campaign that adds to the identity confusion between users, past and present.

But well, that's just me, if everyone finds it to be really funny I guess you should do it.


Hmmm...is there a downer in the playground award competition? Based on all the posts I've seen from you (and a few I just brought up), you seem to mostly post negative comments throughout the entire playground. You never seem to agree with anyone, and you often post with a certain air of intellectual superiority as if you are above those whom you are talking to. Bottom line is, as you are not taking part in this event (which is merely the latest in a string of similar events), it doesn't really matter what you think or say about it, does it? All you have done is slightly dampen the normally cheerful mood of these boards. Please try to be pleasant in the future, rather than simply posting that you think something is stupid when your comment was not needed. If it is stupid or boring, I am sure the popularity it was met with at the beginning will quickly subside.

I am very sorry if I offended. I am trying to behave to a negative comment in the most civil way I possibly can. I believe I am still within the code of conduct on these boards, but if in any way I have overstepped the limits, I offer great apologies to the moderators. You guys do a great job on these boards and I'm sorry if I have made your job harder.

As soon as I have time I'll start rolling to find out who gets what. I leave for TX for two days on the 29th, and then I'll be trying to help my parents unpack for moving-in, so hopefully I can get it done this week.

Or, if they didn't forget, wonder in stacking horror whether or not it already started.

Haven't forgotten about it, however i think it starts on the first full week of august, meaning next week.

Or at least, that's how I've thought of it. When should Xykon fan be handing out the PMs?

Shadow

XF in currently in the process of moving (to Florida.... is that what he said....?).
I may not start when scheduled due to this.

I'm sure it'll be soon, but maybe not right away.

Texas actually if his sig is any indication. I suppose since that was there a small while ago I was hoping he'd be settled in and ready to run it when the time was right.

Hey, XF. If it would make it easier on you, why don't we all just organise it among ourselves, swapping with random people and such?

Or just choose a random person to copy...:smallamused:

Or just choose a random person to copy...:smallamused:

Problem with this is that, if we choose, some people might copy one person multiple times (Which was an entirely different week idea), while others get left out completely, which isn't really fun right?

As for the swapping in organizing it ourselves, I..don't quite think it's fair if we start something up when the person who started it is absent.

I do have to ask, how do you people pcik these "weeks"? My information pointed towards the "totally random" segment, so honestly time does not seem an issue here. Like ER said.
And if someone wants to steal this avvy of beauteousness, fine. But really, who wants to be confused for ME? Disturbing!

2007-07-31, 01:21 PM
I'm in, if Ceika gives permission for my avatar that is. I'm not going to PM, as that will probably flood the PM box, seeing how many Ceikatars there are around.

I'll be tabulating the list and rolling as soon as possible. Or...since it might be a while before I can post the list, I can wait until I have more reliable internet.

I'll let you guys choose.

Alright, I think I'll wait for this then. People can continue to join. I'll start this when I go to college on the 13th. Internet should be much better then. I still don't know when I'll have internet in the new house. Sorry about that guys...You know how it works though..."The best laid plans of liches and their fans"

If anyone else has a week in line though, you can bump the new time...I'll call the next slot.

2007-08-03, 01:52 PM
XF, if you don't have a chance, I'm willing to roll up the list. All I need is an online dice roller, the list, and a Wordpad document. Check, check and check.

Ichneumon
2007-08-03, 02:06 PM
Listen, I think I have to go out of this, sorry, but I just can't switch my signature as it would be very confusing with my webcomic and all (I wouldn't be able to update the new page), sorry.

Everybody knows it now? Or should I pm someone?

You don't have to. You could just PM whoever gets you with the updates.

This'll be fun.

Mr. Moon
2007-08-05, 08:03 PM
Okay, I have the list rolled up. Akaziel, I'll just give you whoever Ichenumon has. That way, if Ichy drops out, whoever you get has someone to impersonate him.

PM's will be handed out sooner or later, so we can start on the 13'th.

Sorry, XF, I've kinda taken this over for ya. ^_^" But I've done all the work, so I'm not about to just let it go to waste. :P

Edit: If anyone else wants to join, just randomly chose someone.

2007-08-05, 08:16 PM

Y'all know that there's the signup thread for posting your identify info, yes? That was made so that, if profiles and sigs changed before we got underway, people could edit their own posts with the updated info.

Yup. Just look up a few posts.

Anyway, I've got all the PM's sent. Please do not reply, unless the question has to do with who you got.

If you're wondering who got you, that's to bad, 'cause I won't tell. Unless you can convince me with a good reason. I want this to be as fun as possible. ^_^

Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins

Xykon_Fan
2007-08-06, 07:01 PM
Just so whoever got me knows...if you already grabbed my avvie and sig before now, you need to get the updated version I just edited into the pool. Also, Ceika's working on changing my avatar to reflect my vampiric state, so I'll notify the group when it's done.

Also, I need everyone to look through for their contribution to the pool to see if they actually have their avatar up...some do not (including my target).

Don't fret over it, Moon. I think using a permutated list would have made your life easier. Think of it as a queue where you shuffle people around in the line. Don't worry about it though, hopefully most people will still end up with someone impersonating them. I'm going to be utterly confused, that's for sure.

Also, everyone should probably make sure that the sig you posted follows the new rules.

Screw it. I'm changing mine right now.

If only we could change our names to really get it done right....

Herman, I can't see your avatar, and there's loads of spaces which I assume are images that I can't see either...

I'm guessing it's too late to offer up my avatar... Oh well. Your loss :smallwink: (though if anyone (preferably with a cool/pretty avi) wanted to switch...)

Is a leprechaun with a flail cool enough? Because I can't think of too much cooler.

That's odd. I can see them, and I copied the urls and the code directly from Yiel's post in the avatar pool.

I can see it too, so it seems to just be Castaras.

Well, looks like Mistaken Indentity Week-and-a-half has started.
If we start early, there is more chance for confusion and chaos...
