A Clever? Addergoole Idea
Jul. 7th, 2015 09:30 amI came up with this idea last night, something a bunch of upperclassmen might come up with ~Yr16-Yr19
Rather than leaving the whole Keeping thing up to hope-and-chance, right after Regine's orientation, they bring all the new kids into the gym/somewhere for a "meet n' greet and mentor set-up." This consists of something like speed dating, where each new kid meets each upperclassman that's interested in "mentoring new students;" I.e., having a Kept.
The administration allows this on a few caveats, one of which is that part of the meet-and-greet is to allow students to choose several upperclassmen they either DO or DON'T want as their "Mentor".
All the upperclassmen put in the same information - they'd like x, y, and z, they don't want A, b, or c Kept. Then a computer program runs random numbers.
If a "want" matches up, that's the most likely pairing. "Don't wants" won't be paired. Obviously, not every upperclassmen will get a Kept. But every new student WILL get a Keeper.
All nice and tidy and SO MANY stories I could write off of this

Date: 2015-07-07 03:29 pm (UTC)I was thinking, well, there's the Kept and/or the Keeper that don't get their first choice. There's the guy who refuses to say the words because he knows what being Kept is. There's the intervention by EVERYONE because one guy is gonna screw things up for the whole school.

"...go introduce him to the cy'Lucas and the cy'Pelletiers that don't normally play? He's gotta have someone."
