"Be my valentine" Challenge

**Gnothi Seauton** · 02-10-2011 05:22 PM

Alright, here's the deal guys. In the light of all of you lonely hearts out there that are going to spend valentine's day all by themselves, I figured out that this shouldn't be the case. Yes all this Valentine's thing is propaganda shit, I'm well aware of that, but we can't be the party poopers around here, so I'm proposing a challenge:

Whoever posts in this thread is going to be paired up by the next poster. For example, lets say that I'm posting, the next person who posts, that person will be my partner. Does that make sense?

On valentine's day, you're going to be responsible for writing something heartwarming and romantic to whoever was that you paired up with on this thread(you have until 11:59PM ET to post your message on February 14th).

You're going to have from here on to find as much information as you can about your "date" to post something deep and romantic about him/her. So do your research, talk to that person, engage...you get my idea.

How the winners are going to be selected: When you post your message on this thread, members are going to vote by 'thanking' the post. Whoever's message gets thanked the most times will be the winner. People who are involved in the message cannot vote(or thank the post). For example, if I wrote a message to lets say 'X', X and me will not be able to vote our own message, a.k.a auto-vote.

Winners: There's going to be 2 winners, or depending on the amount of support I get from this challenge.

1st Place:2 items that I'll be buying with my own money on Cafe Market sent to your inbox for each person in the pair

2nd Place:1 item from Cafe Store sent to your inbox for each person in the pair

Please, please participate! Don't be shy, this is just for fun, so please don't leave me hanging here

If you have any questions, please send me a PM or a profile message, because remember, once you post on this thread, you're automatically going to be selected for pair up.

All types are welcome to join, but INFJ brothers and sisters, please join here too. This is specially for YOU

P.S. Since I'm going to be the judge, I'll not be participating on this event.

Sooo if you're not participating, will I be writing a message for the last person to sign up?

Oh, wait, the next person will be my partner and we'll exchange messages. I get it. But what if the number of people is odd? What if people double post to respond to each other? The logistics confuseth me!

Either way this is a fun idea... :) thanks!

But I'm scared and paranoid that this Jasette chick has a crush on me

**snail** · 02-10-2011 07:19 PM

Do I get a partner?

**Gnothi Seauton** · 02-10-2011 07:46 PM

I got a really good question.

"What if I get paired up with a same-sex person?"

Alright, this is the kind of feedback I need. In that case, if you get paired-up with a person of the same sex, you'll be writing to that person as a friend, instead of a lover. After all, Valentine's day is supposed to symbolize love and friendship.

If you have any more suggestions, please don't hesitate to ask me!

In addition, I'll post some questions that could help you get started in getting to know your partner a little more. Of course this are only some suggestions, I'm sure you're all a creative bunch that'll figure out more interesting questions.
