ANNOUNCEMENT 2: 5/6/24
Just a quick note, please invite all of your friends so we can start the Selection as soon as possible! I might cut down like 15 provinces, but still we need loads more characters! And: everyone can now have 2 contestants if you are very active in this group :)

ANNOUNCEMENT 3: 22/6/24
We are very nearly at our minimum number of characters needed to start the Selection!!! All we need is a couple more contestants, a king and a news reporter! These claims are all still open, and to help with this, everyone can now have 3 contestants and 3 side-characters! With this new rule in place, I hope that we can start our Selection at around early July! :)

ANNOUNCEMENT 4: 5/7/24
Happy Friday Illéans!
THE DAY HAS ARRIVED. WE ARE STARTING OUR SELECTION!
Under a new folder, I have added the airport groups (credit to Celestina for organising them), and on each of them you can view which contestants are in which group. Some groups will have unmade characters.
Those of you with claimed and unmade characters, please could you get them done before the airport scenes close! So far, that is just Kit and AEM with unmade contestants, but there are guards and other side characters that remain unmade.
And guess what? Let’s all ditch the rules! If you think you can complete another contestant in around 5 days, please claim another one (I don’t care if you’ve already made 3). This way we can maximise roleplay and we are only a couple short from a full house!
For now, if there are gaps or people aren’t active just pretend the character is feeling ill for the time being. If that particular character hasn’t been made or hasn’t replied at all in the duration of the airport scenes, that character is automatically disqualified from the Selection so please be active!
Onto how the rp will work:
The airplane scenes will be up and running for 10 days. That is, up to 15th July 2024.
The roleplay order will be the order that the contestants are in.
If one contestant does not reply for 48 hours, the next contestant in the queue may reply. If they do not reply in a further 24 hours, the next person in the queue may reply and so on and so forth.
Make sure you write at least 3 sentences - so a paragraph - of a response so the other people have something solid to respond to. Think thoughts, actions, words. A full roleplaying guide can be found on the rules(I think or somewhere around there).
It is ok if you haven’t roleplayed the announcement scene, that was just to pass time and to get a feel for your character.
Any questions? Head to the questions topic, the mods will be happy to answer to them!
Thank you for being patient with us and happy roleplaying!

ANNOUNCEMENT 6: 15/7/24
My dearest Selected and other important beings,
The plane journey is nearing its end! We are due to land in 00:00:01 hours! Please may all Selected gather their belongings and make their way to the Palace Entrance. Thank you!
(In other words, the Airport Groups are now closed.)
Here is what to do next:
1.
Write a post on your airport group describing your Selected leaving the plane.
2.
Go to the Palace Entrance topic. Here, you will roleplay a post individually about your Selected getting a makeover. You must describe what they are wearing or you must have a picture. You must not interact with any other Selected. You can note their presence, but any interaction is not allowed.
3.
In 3 days time, we will either be entering an interview period of time where the girls get asked questions, or we go straight into the palace. A poll will go round soon to ask which of the two options you would prefer.
4.
If you have made a contestant but have not commented in any of the airport groups, this is your last chance to secure a place in the Selection. If you have claimed a contestant but you have not made them yet, this is also your last chance. If you comment on the airport groups, it will be assumed that your character was sleeping on the plane. If you do not comment on the airport groups but comment on the palace entrance, it will be assumed that your character arrived at the palace in a different way. If you do not comment at all before the 18th July then your character is disqualified. Any disqualified characters will be updated in the character claim topic.
5.
If you have commented on the airport groups and you do not comment in the next 3 days, that is not ideal but ok. It will be assumed that your character did not want a makeover.
I hope that is all clear! Any questions, ask them in the questions topic!
Thank you!

ANNOUNCEMENT 7: 21/7/24
Dearest Selected,
Sorry for missing the deadline, I was very busy. But this extra time has given me time to think about the next procedure in the Selection, which I can now announce will be a group interview!
I know that some of you whilst writing the makeover included your maids, and some didn’t. After the group interview, you will have time to sort out the maid business. For now, this is what will happen.
1. The girls will all go to the Recording Studio where Titus, the news reporter, will be waiting for them.
2. Titus (@alpha) will pose questions in airport group order.
3. Alpha, this is for you. Your post must include 7 individual questions to ask the Selected, all in the same post. This makes it easier.
4. For example, if you were airport group 3, you would answer the 3rd question. In your post, you must include the question that you are answering and your Selected’s response. Ignore the other people answering different questions at the same time: this just makes life easier.
5. This ends in 5 days (26th July).
Any questions, pose them in the questions topic!
Thank you and sorry for the delay :)

ANNOUNCEMENT 8: 26/7/24
Hey Illéans!
This is likely to be my last broadcast before I leave on a long hiatus, but just to let you know, the group interview has ended and YOUR SELECTED ARE FREE TO RP ANYWHERE (including with the prince!)
Just bear in mind that your Selected can’t be in the same place at the same time :)
Elimination rules will be confirmed once I’ve gone through them with Celestina :)
For now, happy roleplaying, and PARIS 2024 HAS ARRIVED!
Thank you,
The mods
