Help[Games] Britt Revives the Compromise Congrats: Sign-Up
I really used to like these when they were en vogue, and no one's done one in a while so I thought I'd revive it! This one is going to be faiirly realistic, in that you and your "spouse" will be able to choose the number of children you have (anywhere from three to eight), will have some control over how far you want them spaced, and all genders will be chosen by random coin flip. You and your "Spouse" can choose to make a name list here at the sign up or to just suggest names for each child as you go. Each round will progress four years, and I will decide based on what you decided about number and spacing how many children you have had in that time space. Be warned, you may get a surprise child thrown in for the later rounds! Twins wil be thrown in randomly (sorry, no higher-order multiples!). In the sign-up you and your partner must describe your looks, your families, how you met, and your lives at the moment including your jobs and where you live. Be as detailed or as brief as you want, and stories are greatly encouraged and enjoyed with each round!
Just in case anyone has forgotten or doesn't know how a compromise congrats works, one person signs up, and then the next person to sign up does so as a reply to the first person's sign-up. During the rounds you two will discuss names and together come up with a name for your child. Anyone not getting a child during a round will get a pet, niece or nephew, godchild, or something else to name so you can still play the round. Same-sex couples are allowed, but indicate somehow in your sign-up that you want a same-sex partner, and you and your partner must decide whether you want to adopt or have children by artificial means.
So, the sign-up form, which will be posted as the last message in your thread with your partner:
UNs:
LN:
DSpouse: (age)
DSpouse: (age)
Location:
Family Size: (anything 3-8)
Approx. spacing preference: (anywhere from 1-8 years between children)
Have fun!

This is Chiara Danielle Hambledon speaking. Twenty-seven years ago, I was born to Lewis Jack and Lauren Chloe Hambledon. I grew up in Scotland, where I and all my siblings were born, but I am now hopping around a little bit. Being one of the middle children of a large family, I learned much about the roles of both elder siblings and younger ones. When the time comes for me to begin a family of my own, I would certainly like a big one.

Most of my family has either light brown or blonde hair, though there are a few who have darker hair. Many of us have blue or green eyes, with a few dispersed here and there whose eyes are brown.
This is me:
I have curly blondish-brown hair and gray-brown eyes.

Hi! My name is Maya Ayelet Amir and I was born in Haifa, Israel. My whole family still lives there. I have two siblings, a twin brother and a little sister. I'm not particularly close to either of my siblings but I'd like our children to be close to each other. I'm Jewish and would prefer to raise the children Jewish. I work as a translator.
People tell me I have a golden heart and am very caring and compassionate.
LN: Amir
DFather: Avram Benyamin Amir (53)
DMother: Mira Ahava [Cohen] Amir (50)
DBrother: Ariel Yaron Amir (22)
--Girlfriend: Lauren Kate Matthews (23)
DMe: Maya Ayelet Amir (22)
DSister: Anna Rivka Amir (17)
I would like four or five children with an age difference of two or three years.
Here is me :)

Hi, my name is Juliana Margaret Rossi, and I'm 24 years old. I come from a big family (I have three sisters and a brother), and I'm right in the middle. I'd like a big family myself one day.

I guess I will once I meet Mr. Right!

Well Liam, how did we meet? I would say we met in college, you either a senior and me a freshamn, or you a teaching assistant in a class I was taking. Also, would you rather make a namelist now or just debate names as we go? I'm fine with either. Also, as a broker and an editor, I think that we should live in New York. What do you think? I forgot to mention that I have curly dark brown hair that I wear long, blue eyes with long lashes, and freckles and a medium complexion. I'm fairly tall and average build. People tell me I look like my mom.
BTW, I love the names in your family. Just a few favorites of mine to give you a sense of my naming style:
Anna
Arianna
Lily
Eliana
Magdalena
Irene
Elizabeth
Susanna
Callista
