[glow=red,2,300]If you pick #3, then I ask you, why are you voting in this poll? XDDDD
OK, to those who are unaquainted with the 'bloids, once every summer we usually have a 'bloidal reset. All marriages and relationships are deemed null and void. Family ties are as if they never were. People must scrabble to win new hearts and chase new loves and diaper new children and the like. The family tree is completely rearranged.
Well, that's how it ought to work in theory.
Last year was particularly anticlimactic; people just waited a day and got right back together with the person they left the day before. Certainly there are some relationships too sacred to be broken, i.e. Strife/Leo, but hey.
If people don't want to reset, then hopefully there will be other 'bloidal events before summer's end. (I welcome all suggestions with open arms and an open mind.)
Feel free to debate the pros and cons of resetting on this board.
Thank you. ^_^
(If this doesn't belong as an announcement... I blame Leo. >.> *scarpers*)[/glow]

It is NOT once every summer. It's happened twice. The first one was two years ago. The 'bloids have been around for MUCH longer than that. XP So don't spin things.
The first year's was also a failure, which is why I was anti-reset last time, and even more so this time.
I say let people do what they want. XO LAISSEZ-FAIRE TABLOIDNOMICS!

Hey... you were the one bringing up Hu and Stal... and underwear (okay that was me... but still) xD
I really just asked because I felt that the bloids have been.... uhm... 'dead' for a long time now. Of course... the new rules has done a lot to cool down the action in there... but it just seemed like we needed some some kind of action.
I voted no... because I don't wanna lose all mah kids, siblings and husband D=
But something needs to happen... or else I'll just start to adopt more kids xD

*still thinks we should all go on a gender-switching spree*
...What? It's a cool idea. >.>
Well, anyway, the real question is whether or not the Tabloid family needs resetting. For example, can you keep track of who your fifteen children and four husbands were, etcetera. But even in that case I think people could have their own resets individually, as apposed to resetting people who like their family just fine. Like, if Bob wants to reset his relationships he'll make some sort of announcement over the bloids, and then everyone related to Bob is no longer. If that makes sense. ^_^; Then Bob can go on his merry way and marry and have more children and reset to his heart's content.

See, a reset won't make anything happen, as previous attempts show. That responsibility lies with the rest of the members. I'd say the pro-reset people should simply nullify their own marriages and family relations themselves (which have always been subject to whether a person really wanted them or not) and stir things up in that way if they want it. Otherwise, people should find their own way of livening things up.
*looks up*
Er, yeah, basically what Leah was saying.

*clings to Bag* Even though I don't get to see him as much as I used to, he's my first [real] Tabloid husband and I <3 him. :3

Awww, I thought it would be fun. D:
But that's mostly because I don't have any kind of relationships on the Bloids anyway XD

Well, I know I'd remarry Ginz if a reset were to happen. However, that's probably as far as it goes...I don't think I'd want any other familial relations in specific to reoccur. That said, it'd still be fun, I think. Mildly interesting. It can't hurt, I guess.
But I don't think it'll resurrect the Bloids. Something else has to happen, though I can't think of what that might be. :/
So my answer to the question is: sure, if people are willing to. But it shouldn't be the only thing we do to try and liven up the Bloids again.

I strongly strongly urge the idea of making it a personal choice and not across the board to everyone. Let everyone choose accordingly to their own wants, and not because "everyone else" thinks that they should.

Why are so many of you so negative "Nothing will happen!" against a reset? XD I mean, one or two months before the last reset happened I was all "Oh, nothing will change" too, but everything changed, for me, at least. XD
I mean, several things will stay the same, yes. But all that fun in what happens before and after the reset... the crazy adopting, the chance of those who aren't really part of our twisted family tree to join in (it's not so easy to step in and be included, but in the midst of a reset, it feel like anything could happen), the... everything. XD It's so fun! Sure, it might not last long, but I find it cool. ^_^
A personal reset sort of... doesn't work for me. I would want to stay with Dan (and please don't blame me. I've always changed in the past resets, unlike other people. I feel I have the choice and right to stay like I am this time), but I can't suddenly say... "Well, I don't want to be related to anyone anymore; and who wants me to adopt them?" It's sort... awkward. XD; Plus part of the fun is seeing everyone doing the same too.
I voted yes, obviously.
But I guess I want people to be happy, so whatever the forum chooses. ^_^

Personally, I think it'll be fun to watch.
No, seriously, I'm probably still not going to get committed to any sort of relationships. I'm afraid I may be adopted, then suddenly discover that I've become my own grandfather, cousin, and pet, all at the same time.
...Plus, it'll be all the more fun watching Huntress try to pursue me. *Mischievous grin*

Well, I know that no matter what happens, I'm still doing what I did last year (unless Spot has something else to say about it): I'm going to stay married to Spot and keep my children. And nothing that anyone says (except for, say...Spot) can change that fact... <.<
Plus I'd actually like to see a good reason FOR the reset. Honestly, it comes across as mostly selfish imposing of one person's wants on another's.

[glow=red,2,300]If you pick #3, then I ask you, why are you voting in this poll? XDDDD[/glow] Because my lack of opinion has some meaning behind it, really. I don't mind whichever way this goes. If there's a reset, I'll reattach myself to Ikkin and flirt. If there isn't a reset, I'll still be attached to Ikkin and flirt. Thing is, it's not all the familial relationships that make the 'bloids fun, it's the people. ^^; .. so reset or not, I'll still be on the 'bloids looking for some unwary newbie to flirt with. |
