^{[Before you ask: I'm putting the NONSENSOLEUM game down to do this as my "Sporadically update" game.]}

One fine day, you decided "Hey! I'm going to run a forum game!" And so, you pointed your browser at this very forum, and began to post!

But first, a few questions:
1. Just what sort of game are you running? Strategy? Simulation? Building?
2. How will your game be on the following scales, from 0 to 10?
a: Comedic - Dramatic
b: Fantastic - Realistic
c: Shiny - Gritty
d: Simple - Complicated
e: Gameplay-Story
3. What is your DM style?
4. How many players? 
5. What makes your game special? Is it illustrated? Are you a good writer? Do you invent your own theme songs, etc etc?

[To be clear: You, the players, are the DM of a forum game. I, the DM, am the players. Votes are decided by majority. I reserve the right to out-right veto any suggestions where you players are the DM of a game in which you play the players because that's too meta.]

1. Sort of Game: Homebrew DnD Abomination - No clear Version is to be gleamed
2. How will your game be on the following scales, from 0 to 10?
a: Comedic - Dramatic 8
b: Fantastic - Realistic 9
c: Shiny - Gritty 7
d: Simple - Complicated 10+
e: Gameplay-Story 3
3. DM style: Nonchalant and uncaring, you do not even correct fatal misunderstandings of your own, and should someone break your non-listed deadlines you just leave them idle.
4. Playercount: The Party started with 8, but 3 of them rage-quitted within the first 7 rounds of combat. Getting the Waitlisted to actually play, proves to be a challenge.
5. Game Special: It is extremly hard and uncaring, especially with your nature as DM. Only Sadists, Masochists, Elitists, Unemployeds and their various wanabee-stages dare to even touch it. A true niche-product for which certainly nobody asked for. But now itīs out there.

(Yeah.. really should not do those at night I guess. Fixed now.)

I'll just post this here

Because whether he says its on the Dramatic side or not, it will be hilarious for us to see the OP try and seriously roleplay a bunch of horny neckbeards

...Time to look up date sims, I guess!

Bay12oful Boyfriend, anyone?

You decide to run a Dramatic and Realistic Datesim, with lots of partial nudity and a complicated profile system. Since you have extensive experience in the dating world, being a beautiful person with a sense of humor and considerable amounts of money, you decide that you will railroad players, but subtly.

You release a profile format:

Code: [Select]

Name
Gender
Sexuality
Popularity
Intelligence
Looks
Job
Vehicle
Living Area
Hobby
and three days later, there are three options getting +1's and one option you're not sure about.

2 Votes - WTAF

Code: [Select]

Name: Rei
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Yes
Popularity: Moderate
Intelligence: High
Looks: Attractive
Job: Pilot
Vehicle: EVA
Living Area: Oversized apartment
Hobby: Slaughtering Angels
3 Votes - Tran-Pan

Name: Scooter
Gender: Transman
Sexuality: Pansexual

3 Votes - Totally Not A Parody

3 Votes- Everywoman

Code: [Select]

Name: Lana
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Popularity: Loner
Intelligence: Above Average
Looks: Plain
Job: Retail
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Living Area: Apartment that would be out of your wage if it weren't for the train tracks just outside the window
Hobby: Crocheting
What do you do with these results?

[escaped lurker]

You shortly consider just coming up with a character of your own, as these fools obviously never have played any Dating-Sim of good Repute. Why is there no single Schoolboy/girl is somewhat beyond you, but it seems your superior intellect will have to work it`s way around that problem on it`s own.

After some additional pondering, you decide on Lana "Everywoman", but will tell the forum-fools you rolled her as result. Not like they can ever proove otherwise, nor truly will know. You also consider changing her job to "High-School-Teacher", for that would be a most welcome plot-turn. That actually sounds quite appealing, especially later on. Now you would only need to subtly change that "Hetero" into "Homo" and the Fanservice would know no bounds.

This Vision of your thread... fascinates you very well, and after some... inspirational soulsearching, you just decide to railroad it. Since you are calling the shots here.

Code: [Select]

Yes.. yes. Muuch better. This will do nicely.

[Ross Vernal]

I have a feeling that this is going to be insane and awesome. (If anyone actually does a spin-off I will laugh and laugh and laugh.)

[Ukrainian Ranger]

escaped lurker, No to modifying profile like that, players gonna be pissed....

My variant:

After some consideration you announce that you'll roll for every line of a profile, from the most popular picks

Of cause you just combine profiles to make the one you think would be better for your plans. In fact just changing the gender of the last profile and change starting occupation to make it look random.
