View Full Version : Mistaken Identity Week - Starts August Eighth

2008-07-06, 10:06 PM
Like I said in the farewell thread, I'll be away 'till the 6'th, so that's when I plan to hold my favourite holiday - two days after, like it says in the tittle, so I can get the list sorted out. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, someone should know.

Avatar and signature thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4543150#post4543150)

Phase
2008-07-06, 10:24 PM
Awesome! Been looking forward to this. Three questions, however.

1.) How are the identities chosen in the other thread? Do we put our information there and then it is given at random to someone else wh signs up?

2.) My avatar should be changed to convey the phase of the moon. Should I create a seperate, static avatar, perhaps holding a sign saying: "MI week, not changing"?

3.) What if someone enters mistaken identity week, then, before they change back, real life catches up and they are unable to re-establish themselves. They could be mistaken for the rightful owner of the avatar, even after the week ends. What happens then?

Just curious!

Do they really get that confused by it? I assumed they would be more likely to go with names initially.

your assumption would be incorrect. We'll see how many "what the hell?!" threads show up in the Board Issues thread.

Mercenary Pen
2008-07-07, 05:47 AM
Well, I can say for a fact that THIS Pixie won't be confused...

In fact, I'll probably do what I can to explain it to other pixies...

Tempest Fennac
2008-07-07, 06:33 AM
That is kind of worrying, Randomizer. Do you think someone should make a sticky thread in Board/Sire issues to avoid those sorts of threads being made? (Hopefully.)

Djinn_in_Tonic
2008-07-07, 06:33 AM
This looks to be great fun.

Who wishes to be a Djinn for a week?

PhallicWarrior
2008-07-07, 07:46 AM
I'd be happy to. And as an added bonus, whoever picks me won't need a custom avvie!

Count me in.

Serpentine
2008-07-07, 08:49 AM
What, again? Do we only have the three - Mistaken Identity, Inner Animal and Gender Bender - or something? :smallconfused: Looks like Moon Called wanted this one 'specially, but can we do something else next time? Penguinizer's calling for a Batman one in Arts & Crafts, but that's happening now and is for a special occasion.


That is kind of worrying, Randomizer. Do you think someone should make a sticky thread in Board/Sire issues to avoid those sorts of threads being made? (Hopefully.)We've got two threads in this forum. That should do it.

Tempest Fennac
2008-07-07, 08:53 AM
I know what you mean, Serpentine (I'm guessing that some people still didn't notice the threads last year, right?) Someone suggested Undead Week in the Inner Animal thread, as well as a couple of others (I suggested a schedule which would get as many in as possible).

What would that make of people who are already undead, like YPU?

Tempest Fennac
2008-07-07, 09:02 AM
I think the concensus was that it would be overshadowed by Haloween week. Some other ideas included Mythology and Sci-fi weeks if I remember correctly.

Djinn_in_Tonic
2008-07-07, 09:25 AM
Steampunk would also be interesting, but that's just the Djinn being biased...again.

CurlyKitGirl
2008-07-07, 09:26 AM
Well, well, well, well, well. It seems like Curly'll be taking part. Or multiple ones.
Now, which one (or ones) do I put up for this thing.

Dallas-Dakota
2008-07-07, 09:34 AM
Me! Me! Pick me!
( I'l put up the actual link of my avatar if anybody wants to use mine)

Shas aia Toriia

If anybody wants to switch with me, PM me or post in one of the MI threads. :smallsmile:

Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll
2008-07-07, 10:28 AM
This would have been so much fun when we could change names as well...

Player_Zero
2008-07-07, 12:07 PM
Are we supposed to pick someone to switch with or are we supposed to switch randomly in a mess of avatar confusion? And if so is it done randomly or do we pick with whom to switch?

Clarification is requested.

wxdruid
2008-07-07, 12:51 PM
If someone would like to switch with me I'd appreciate a PM. I posted my information in the other thread. Thanks a bunch.

Tempest Fennac
2008-07-07, 12:54 PM
Playey_Zero, if you put your details into the pool, you will be randomly given someone to swap with. If you want to choose who you swap with, PM them about it while staying out of the pool.

Player_Zero
2008-07-07, 01:22 PM

Looks like Player_Zero is a pretty valuable commodity. :smalltongue:

Celebratory apple juice for all! And by 'all' I mean for me. Mmm... Jus de pomme....

Also, that still doesn't tell me whether it's a swap or a random mingling of avatars. If I use someone else's do they have to have mine?

Moral Wiz
2008-07-07, 01:25 PM
So, as I'm in the pool, I'll get assigned someone?

Tempest Fennac
2008-07-07, 01:26 PM
I think it is just a case of forum members being matched up with each other rather then a mish-mash, so if you have your details randomly assigned, you would be using the details of whoever swaps with you. (sorry for misunderstanding the question).

Shas aia Toriia
2008-07-07, 06:05 PM

how did this thread get all the way to the bottom page?!

Well the fact that the sign up thread seems to link to itself rather than here (or it did for me yesterday) might not have helped.

Shas aia Toriia
2008-07-09, 05:25 PM
Does anyone know when we're assigned to other people for the mix up?

Player_Zero
2008-07-09, 05:36 PM
Does anyone know when we're assigned to other people for the mix up?

Errr... Whenever Moon_Called gets around to it? ...Or when everyone who wants in is in? Probably not for a while in either case unless you wanna' do a deal with someone.

Tempest Fennac
2008-07-10, 12:14 AM
MC is planning on handling the drafts on the 6th when she gets back from being grounded (I think that's her plan anyway).

Emperor Ing
2008-07-10, 05:00 PM
Most of the unusual avatar weeks start a month before the actual week.
Hence, I think we should just...swap avatars and signatures like we're supposed to

Player_Zero

Most of the unusual avatar weeks start a month before the actual week.


.... Wut?

Tempest Fennac
2008-07-11, 12:18 AM
Most of the weeks require new avatars to be made, so there's a months notice to give avatar artists enough time to draw avatars for everyone who wants one. (MI week is an example of a week where 1, or possibly 2, weeks would be plenty of time to organise it, but I'm guessing MC wanted to keep the traditional "1 month warning" for it.)

Ethrael
2008-07-11, 01:29 AM
Oh. So we don't get to chose who we mix up with, we're assigned?

Tempest Fennac
2008-07-11, 01:32 AM
You can make provate arrangements. If you manage to make one, you would need to remove your details from the sig/avatar pool.

Emperor Ing
2008-07-11, 05:15 AM
not the same as it was last year. This seems too structured. We hand-picked who we wanted to impersonate, wether we or they liked it or not.

Quincunx
2008-07-11, 05:44 AM
Not always, Randomizer; I was part of a random pool last year. I think you're thinking of "Everyone mimics Amotis!" week, which was later than Mistaken Identity Week.

Dallas-Dakota
2008-07-11, 05:47 AM

Not always, Randomizer; I was part of a random pool last year. I think you're thinking of "Everyone mimics Amotis!" week, which was later than Mistaken Identity Week.

No, i'm not.
But I still think we should just choose who we can mimic.

Tempest Fennac
2008-07-11, 06:49 AM
Is there anyone who you want to mimic? If there is, PMing them as soon as possible would be a good idea in case they don't want to swap with you or they've already got an arrangement.

Lord Herman

During the last MI week, some people (including me) started switching around avvies and sigs. Often. It was a complete mess. Let's do it again!

Tempest Fennac

Apelord69, you need the avatar and sig pool if you want to be randomly assigned someone to swap with. If you want to swap with someone soecific, PM or e-mail them about it while keeping your details out of the pool until you know if they want to swap or not.

Calamity
2008-07-20, 06:01 AM
YES! It's back! The week of total confusion and madness. I'm so in. :smallbiggrin:

Nychta
2008-07-20, 06:08 AM
Fully in. I can only get my normal sig code when I get home, though, so you'll have to do with only my avatar for a short while.

banjo1985
2008-07-21, 07:48 AM
I have just agreed to swap with another playgrounder. Should I take my details off the other thread list?

Tempest Fennac
2008-07-21, 07:48 AM
I would if I were you (it would make things easier for Monn Called).

onasuma
2008-07-26, 11:03 AM
Hey everyone. I seem to have taken over organising this a bit, so id like to make a request. If you have a pre-arranged swap can you please make sure your avatar + sig etc. is out of the pool thread. I just ask because tempest has mentioned that some people left themselves in there, despite organising trades.

onasuma
2008-08-05, 10:46 AM
Appologise for double post. Just saying that the list is done, and pm's should reach you all shortly.

More importantly - does the person who switches with her get her mod powers?

Hey, this looks pretty interesting, but with my luck I'd probably get Calamity's avatar:smalltongue: Count me in.

Unlikely! (as in, I'm already switching with someone else). But that would be very confusing, considering you're in the structured game I'm hosting. :smalltongue:

Cobra and I switched early, as he'll most likely be here with me for the 8th.

...Its so weird to see my name over his avatar.

Raistlin1040
2008-08-06, 05:24 PM
...I knew this was coming, and it still took me a few posts to realize Randomizer *wasn't* Serp.

Just for the record I wanted to participate, but I'm leaving on the 10th and coming back the 15th, so I wouldn't even be around for most of the week.

Calamity
2008-08-06, 05:38 PM
RHL is already confusing me, as when I checked the Shipping thread last I thought to myself 'I'm sure it said RHL was the last poster... but that's Cobra'

I figured it out eventually. :smallbiggrin:

Apparently, Cobra and I have confused a number of people, among them being Curly, Calamity, Bath, and a few others as well as ourselves.
Then again, people who don't stumble from SMBG that often have asked if I really am a guy...

Sneak
2008-08-07, 01:44 PM
I've been confused, but only momentarily. I think the one that confused me most at first was Rabbit and Cobra.

I think the sig and avatar xNadia got are the least confusing. Seeing as The Rose Dragon doesn't have an avatar, and his sig is only a one line link to his blog...

The Extinguisher
2008-08-07, 01:56 PM
I've confused myself. Scrolling through the thread, trying to find responses to my post, wondering where I posted. :smallsmile:

YPU
2008-08-07, 02:18 PM
Yay, I changed. I was planning on changing when my place hits the actual date, but I will be gone for a few days.
One of the more interesting things is that now peeps who don’t visit particular parts of the forum suddenly do show up there, sort of.

You might ask Phase. He made the avatar, 'cuz he's cool like that. :smallbiggrin:

Ranna, I typically save things to my own photobucket account.

I do the same. 'Tis advice to be heeded.

Of course, for the same reasons, I never remove stuff from my photobucket if someone else has ever used it...

Crimmy
2008-08-11, 01:33 PM
My way of doing it is simple.
Make a new Photobucket account.
That way, if somebody is directly linking his/her avatar from my Photobucket account, they won't have the problem of missing link.

B-Man
2008-08-11, 02:36 PM
The only thing with rehosting an avatar is some avatarists do not like their work mirrored.

2008-08-11, 03:09 PM
I love that it took me a second to realize that Pirate Jesus was not talking to himself.

Me too. I haven't seen Randman that much, and with Tengu having a temp account, I almost thought PirateJesus was using Randman as a temp account (The name almost fits, even. It's a random account).

This is going to be one confusing week.

Hmm... I wonder who got me?

So fortunately it's a case of "is Calamity singing if there's no one there to hear him?". :smalltongue:

I really liked this week, it was really fun to see who got who's avatar.

I don't think there was a lot of confusion like I'd hoped...

Hmm...

Nah. Too much hassle. :smalltongue:

applied the edit which I've suggested at least twice in Rate the Avatar,
