They say follow your heart, but what if you can't even follow your eyes?



Welcome to the very first EoFF Blind Date! I am your host, Formy and over the coming days, I shall be introducing romance into the world of Eyes On. I mean, sure, some of you are already happily married, but what about us poor schmucks?

"But Formy!" I hear a hypothetical reader say. "How are you going to do this?"

It's simple. Rather than let common sense and good looks get in the way of love, instead one lucky contestant will be on a guaranteed "date" with one of at least three aspiring female contestants, hoping to be lucky in love. Here's how Blind Date works:



THE SET-UP





Over the next THREE days, female members of this site can post their interest in the game by posting this keyword: ##CONTESTANT
Over the next THREE days, male members of this site can sign-up to be the lucky male star of the show by posting: ##LUCKY
At the end of the three days, I will randomly select one male contestant, and depending on interest, at least three female suitors.
I shall then do a quick PM interview with the male contestant, and make his identity public. For obvious reasons, the female suitors are highly confidential information
The game begins. The male contestant will PM me a set of around 6 questions to ask the suitors. I will post each question in turn in the main game thread, one at a time. So Q1 - A1 - Q2 - A2 and so on. The female suitors will PM their responses within a set time limit, to keep the game going. I shall then post their responses in the game thread, keeping their identities hidden still.
This lasts for awhile, given that there's six questions. Anyway, after the six questions, I shall ask the female suitors to PM me one slightly embarrassing detail (I can't stand watermelons) and I shall post them on the game thread. This might help the male contestant make up his mind on the girls
After ALL of this, I shall then ask the male contestant which lucky lady he chooses. I will then reveal the identity of all contestants, and the game is over. Maybe the male and female winner can have a small custom title or something who knows on a prize.






It seems like alot to take in, but it is really simple. As host, let me do all the work! But what you can do now is post your interest in the thread! The purpose of this thread is for sign-ups and game discussion. I will be making a separate thread for all the PM interactions and stuff.

Thanks for reading! Can't wait to get started.

As it now stands with TWO full days left in the sign-ups:

Contestants: 3

Lucky Male: 8

Right now, I could begin now as the minimum contestants needed is 3, however, I'd love for more hopeful ladies to get involved! Right now, it's turning into a right sausage-fest. :p

I'm fairly certain we have ALOT more female members than this.

Besides, what is this saying about our incredibly eager male members? I know there's differences between the sexes but this is ridiculous. :)

Formalhaut
02-06-2013, 01:46 AM
Technically speaking, you have a higher chance of being a contestant than a male star of the show, because there's only one male in the hotseat, while my number of female contestants are, while not unlimited, more lax.

Still, don't lie about your gender :p

My first ever online date was with Iri Valentine. My second date was with a guy. He kept telling me to ask him questions so I asked him the most ridiculous questions I could think of because he invited me to ask ANYTHING. Both were on these forums.

Wait, date? I never knew you were bisexual!

Ahem. Moving on, there's only one day left of sign-ups! On Friday, I shall random.org everyone, and then give a brisk interview with the lucky male. After that, I shall reveal the star of the show!

Also, I might not have made this terribly clear, but if you are seeking a man, be you female OR male, feel free to sign up! I kind of forgot about the gay and bisexual members of our community. Feel free to sign-up! We are a open community!:D

I misread this as "I knew you were" (which would be insultingly presumptuous)

The funny part being it only occurred to me in this thread to label it a date. I don't remember who he was, he just started sending me PMs telling me to ask him questions. It struck me as weird so I returned the weirdness. But it lasted a while.

I'll give you contestants one chance to get rid of me before the selection: Convince Cuch to take my place.

Your move.

The second Cuch applies, the thread title should be changed to have "We have Cuch! ;)" in the title. Everyone will flock become a contestant then!

On the other hand, if Cuch becomes a contestant, I will apply three layers of Raid to my clothes to keep the bugger away.

I'm shattered after the day, so sign-ups shall continue until I get back from sixth form / counselling. Probably about 6:00pm GMT. Any last sign-ups from males and females both would be both great and probably hilarious. We've filled 4 pages already, and it's only the first step :D

And the sign-ups are now CLOSED.

Thank you all who have applied! Not to mention those who didn't apply but made this thread thus far quite amusing to read. I shall reveal the lucky male star of the show today, depending on when he get's my Mognet. After that, I shall Mognet him again to give me SIX questions for me to ask the contestants (who I have now also randomised and sorted). All of that will take place in a separate thread to keep things tidy, and this thread will transform into a game discussion thread which it kind of is anyway.

Stay tuned folks!

lol/ I really didn't think Form was going to present the chat so... Interviewy. I would have been... the same. Not off to a "fun" first start, I guess. :p

By the way, to be as possibly deliberate a nagging nit, Form harking means to listen. I believe you were going for "harping." You can't tell, but I'm making that flicky-tongue blalala tease sound.

To the tune of "The Beverly Hillbillies"

Well, listen to the story 'bout a love gone wrong
Poor ol' Mr. Bobbitt dearly loved his precious dong
Then one day when he pushed her way to far
She snipped off Mr. Happy and tossed it from the car

Well, the cops found his weiner and they took it to the doc
Koppel and Chung said they found it 'neath a rock
Covered with old stickers and a bottle cap or two
It wasn't what it had been but it would have to do

Well, the doctors started sewing but they made a little slip
Instead of near the middle they attached it to his hip
And now when Mr. Happy wants to feel that old delight
A hand's in Bobbitt's pocket (that's his left and not his right)

((I first saw this filksong twenty years ago, within a month or so of the Bobbitt incident making the news; I'm surprised I remembered roughly how it went. It apparently never made it to the internet since I couldn't find it on google))
