Break it halfway through the plot.

And? What would happen?

On another note, I freaking hate that a single topic did indeed derail SO MUCH. I was just pitching a concept, and it became a freaking battle here.

As an aside, it's really getting tiresome to jump into a thread and see people arguing over whether or not somebody should even comment in the first place. The tone policing is also pretty stale as well.

As for the event itself? I tend to favour such things being limited to OOC 'what if' situations rather than anything super serious on an IC level. More often than not, however, this sort of thing just ends up revolving around people not so subtly making a big deal out of having the opposite gender's...uh...'bits' and basing most of their interaction around that.

Hence the wariness, I'd imagine.

If you think that kind of attitude is being excellent, then you obviously are just being a sadistic troll and is not really doing any favor for the OP to improve his ideas of events.

The potential issues have been listed. Other people have recognized them as valid issues, and even the OP has acknowledged that these issues can be a problem and, to his credit, is placing guidelines in his plot to help mitigate them.

Are you sure you're defending him the way you think you are?

I was actually thinking it was one of the more civilized threads I've seen that went wrong.

People are discussing and arguing points of view. Not needless name calling and tearing each other down.

You pitched a concept and the community responded. If I was in your place, I'd get everything in order, rules, guidelines, event coordinators and try again.

I think if you'd of done that before hand, it may of went smoother.

If he was to put up a rule, I think he'd have done it in an event forum section than RP Discussion section. He just wanted to hear people's opinions to see if they'd be interested or not.

Ok but you got to factor in the fact that it costs RL money for a Fantasia, and some of us might not have enough money to get one or two.

Maybe I misread or was just presumptuous; I thought this was gonna be a forum role-play since body-switching would be kind of odd to do in-game since it can't really be portrayed without Fantasias, either. Either way, if it was just going to be an imagined change anyway, Fantasias wouldn't actually be necessary regardless.

It IS forum RP. This would not be done in-game; it would be done in the Town Square and it would be like an open thread.
