Announcement.
Hello from the dorms management team. To celebrate the dorms' 3rd anniversary... And since we happen to have some great artists living with us now... Thought it would be fitting to bring back the dorm robes.
For those who might not know their Hensonville history... Back in the day, about four years now, there were two places in town you could go to and have general chaos fun besides the dorms' first building. There were the dorms pools of course (might think about reopening the poolhouse, so long as it's only accessible by dorm residents... and what with my mod powers, I could monitor it better this time...) *Snaps out of reverie. Ahem, but I'm getting away from my tale.
There existed the "Make Way in the Bathtubs!" thread, where all you needed was just 1 post to get in through BethC's door and reserve a shared tub with some forum friends.
There was also the "Make Way in the Hottubs!" thread. That was reserved for Senior Members after a forum member attained the lofty total of 1000 posts. True, for those who were under that numeric total, they could wait outside in the kiddie pool area. Unfortunately, some bad apples got in and used the threads to jack their post totals up rapidly and out of control.
At any rate... Once I became a SM and made my presence known, I started designing bathrobes for some of my friends based either on their namesake Muppets or some sort of design element. For example, the robe I made for a guy named McFraggle had plaid patterning and red radishes on the sleeves. The one I made for Bo had foamy bubbles and crossmops upon the body's sides.
So, when these threads were shut down by the MC PD in reaction to those bad apples in the summer of '04, the dorms were also locked down, though a second building was opened and here we are today. Back in September of '05, on the new dorms 1st anniversary, I gathered the ideas from the residents in order to make them their own custom dorm bathrobe-like robes.
All you need to do is provide the following:
Think of your dorms' robes as a bathrobe-like robe.
1 Provide ideas for each member in your party.
2 Select a basic color for the robes' body.
3 Select a secondary color for each individual robe's sleeves and trim.
Would be best if the color for the sleeves and trim complimented the robes' main body, but it's entirely up to you.
4 Choose some items that you would prefer to be prominently displayed on the robes' bodies and/or sleeves.
These items should be according to your own or your roommates' individual tastes.
For example: My buddy the Count would most probably have either dark brown bats or glowing numbers embroidered into his robe's body/sleeves.
For those of you who have a group of roommates:
a. You can take the time to choose different colorations for your robes' bodies and sleeves, completely different from each other.
b. Or you can choose to have one main color for the bodies of the robes for all members in your party, yet distinguish each by the sleeve/trim coloration.
For example: Back during that first year, Prawny had maroon-bodied robes for himself and everybody in his room. Yet, his own had bright orange sleeves; Gonzo's had blue-violet sleeves; Camilla's had white sleeves; Uncle Deadly's had grayish sleeves; Clifford's had purple sleeves; and Cantus's had golden sleeves.
Older residents of the dorms will know what I'm talking about, so I hope you can orient the newer dwellers should they have questions not covered in this post.
You can send me the ideas for your robes via PM or through the forum's mailer should my PM box get too full.
Thanks and hope you have a great weekend everybooooddddeeeeeeeeee!
