What if we make our anons like a dating sim? Kinda like the RIG Love Charms (like this one) Gaia came up with?
For example (I shall use my Storge for this one):
Anon # 1: You're at the gates of a huge mansion overridden with vines and ivy. It doesn't look like anyone's been here in a long time...
But look! There's a light in one of the windows! You:
A. Investigate! You try to swing the gate open. B. Investigate! You climb over the wall.
Anon #2 (Let's say B is picked): It was fairly easy climbing over the wall, but you tore holes in your skirt in the process. You walk up to the mansion doors cautiously. They swing slightly open at your touch--to your surprise, the inside of the manor is polished and clean, the warm afternoon sunlight filtering through the windows and flooding the huge hall you find yourself peeking into. Suddenly, someone speaks.
[insert art here]
"Good afternoon, Mademoiselle. I have been waiting for you."
A. WTF RUN! B. You nod shyly. C. "Who are you?"
----- And so on and so forth. Since we have lots of time before the next event (Halloween) maybe we that's enough time to make arts and storylines/plots for it?

Awesome, awesome idea! I love the dating sim idea! though, I think we can do it like this: we have each a person we do the sim anons with, til they've finished their story out. We can send little one-off anons to anyone else we choose while sim-anonning the other person. I still love normal anons, so I wanted to find a way to have those still included. Plus, I think we need to have a limit to the number of "sim anons" we can send to any one person. I'm thinking five is a pretty good number and if we make each anon have a slightly longer story tied to it than the examples you gave, I think it'll easily work. ^_^

That's a pretty amazing idea! As Amu said, it could be even individualized. To start with though it would be a good way to get a person's personality down to see who they'd "match" with I suppose?

I love this idea soooooooooo much! heartheartheart But who is going to do the art? o.o We may want to save this idea until Valentines though because it's sim-date and Valentines! Love related things on a love related holiday~ We could combine it with that RNG idea I typed up a while ago. ^^ Does Gaia celebrate Thanksgiving? o.o

Yes, normal anons too of course, and we should take care to not gang up on one client cat_sweatdrop And good thinking on the limit. Five would be a good enough number and should make for a long enough story.

True. At first I thought one of us could send the first anon in which the client gets to pick one butler, but aside from the difficulties in getting everyone online at the same time, there is that host club-y feeling to it cat_xd So let's just send individual ones instead.

GUISE gimme a final butler design. I won't promise perfection, but I'll do my best emotion_yatta I was thinking it would be a good way to introduce KuYo Cafe at Halloween, you know~ Should make big enough waves~ AND YEAH. RNG. Instead of having them make the choices we would have them do RNG. But that can come later. I dunno if it does--I think it's celebrated in a little way? o.o

EVERYONE please finalize your butler/maid designs so we can make artz. I will be making the following expressions: 1. Neutral (the first image, the welcome image) 2. Pleased/Happy (right choice) 3. Displeased/annoyed (wrong choice) 4. CREEPER (the twist to the character, the ending)
Quote me with a tektek image when you're done. Also, please give me some notes on the character, personality, etc. Feel free to order me around specify so the result will be what you want and so I don't have to think too much emotion_awesome
Also, start on your plotlines!

I think it would be super awesome if we had one or two starter sims for the whole group to use, to make it more stream lined maybe? Then the answer from there we go more personal? I think it's going to be a lot of trial and error but it's gonna be fun.
For all the design/art stuff it's gonna take me a few days on that. I gotta go out of town here again in about an hour til tomorrow. (I swear it's every weekend! gonk )

O . O . . . Lol I know that. I'm not a manga addict for nothing y'know. wink It looks like she does want to join . . . but she should of asked first before posting. sweatdrop Agnikai seriously needs to put a DNP on that title. stare We could try I guess~ Has she ever RPed before? o.o . . . now I may sound a bit selfish here . . . . but she put . . . . "Two Faced Lolita" . . . . as her butler type . . . . emotion_facepalm (do you get what I mean? > . <''')

(yes, I do. I think we can easily take care of that if we quote her in here.)

Imouto?
You need to read most of the prior pages. That way you can know what roles have been taken and all the other pertinent information.

Do we all have to wear appropriately maid/butler looking attire?

I was thinking this would be his default attire... (Of course there would be alterations based on the event.)
Only except maybe the CREEPER image, he wouldn't have the blood spatters. 3nodding

What do you mean by starter sims? Care to elaborate?
Oh so you're doing your own art? Okay then, that would be most welcome cat_sweatdrop
