Matched is 1 YEAR OLD!

Yes, 1 year ago today, Matched RP opened and get started with interactions on the dash. Our first handful of matches got to meet each other and their matches.

With everyone who has passed through Matched, be it briefly or for an extended period of time, I thank you. Matched’s growth and longevity is thanks largely to you each and every one of you. To all of you currently with us, thank you as well! We all know that the bulk of the previous year has been challenging, to say the least, and for many of us, it’s affected how and when we’ve been able to RP. While there were times where I had been unsure of the group’s future, I am very happy to see Matched reach 1 year. We are a small group but we have fantastic, friendly and talented members; as an admin, I will always take quality over quantity in a group like this. Thank you so, so very much everyone!

A few updates made to the RP:

Matched is no longer in its beta mode! The plot has been altered slightly to reflect this, but Matched is now available to a broader number of users, and paid subscribers may now use the app!

6 new roles, or 3 new pairs have been swapped in! Be sure to check them out!

The main has received a makeover! With a new theme and several new graphics, we’ve spruced some things up for our start to 2021!

The RP’s rules have been updated. Be sure to look them over!

Members! If you haven’t already, please be sure to fill out our 1 year survey!

A belated announcement from the Matched team. Madeline Swann & Aurora Ortega were married this past Sunday, January 24th! Please be sure to extend your congratulations to them!

On behalf of the staff at Matched, we extend our congratulations to the two of you! In addition to our well wishes, Matched and Funjet would like to send the 2 of you to one of the following honeymoon destinations for 5 days and 4 nights:

Rendezvous Bay, Antigua

Cancun, Mexico

Maui, Hawaii

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Palm Beach, Aruba

Matched RP is 6 months old today!

To all our current members, and to so many of our past members, I would like to say thank you, THANK YOU, T H A N K  Y O U for being a part of this group and contributing to its longevity thus far! We have been a mostly small group but the intimate size has suited us well and I am so very thankful for the laughs, the feels, and the overall character development that’s been unfolding here, as well as the camaraderie and kindness from all of our incredibly talented writers. Groups can’t last without members, so I am very thankful to you all! Here’s to a fun and lasting future for Matched! Cheers!

What everyone has to look forward to:

A unique meet-up event later in the month of August

Some themed/seasonal meet-up events for each of the remaining months of the year (Sept. - Dec.). Dates are marked on the RP’s calendar

10 brand new skeletons (all of which are being posted later today!)

Occasional plot drops coming in the near future

Friendly reminders to all members:

The RP connections on each skeletons are connections/relations with others that were made prior to joining the Matched app. These connections are also additional plotting and interaction opportunities. Feel free to reach out to others whom your character(s) might be connected to!

There’s just 2 more days to send out Truth or Dares for this month’s task!

For those whose characters are already married, don’t forget about Phase 3 of the app!

OOC Event: Our Next Watch Party!

While real world events will continue to unfold, the activity limit here at Matched will resume starting on Monday, April 20th. This means that beginning that day, players who are not active for the 4 days following will receive an activity check.

Along with this, in order to give more roleplaying opportunities with character development and interactions, beginning May 1st, Matched RP will diverge from real world shelter in place and social distancing mandates and allow the RP’s Portland area residents to breathe. Non-essential businesses will be able to re-open and work towards restoration; schools will re-open, and events and gatherings will be able to take place. Residents will still be encourage to take care of themselves and practice good hygiene (wash your hands, cover your cough, stay home if you’re ill, etc.), but our characters will be allowed to try to resume some semblance of normalcy. Matched Meet-Ups will resume, along with other interaction opportunities!

This message will be reblogged frequently from now until the 20th so that current members may be aware. Additionally, all members are asked to check in on the group’s Discord for a fun chat!

For the weddings, unless a pair says something otherwise, all members of the Matched group are invited to attend!

Couples can make aesthetic/muse posts (pictures, outfits, playlists, etc.) as well as open starters if desired.

After some careful thought and some discussion with a couple of our long time members, I have made the decision to put Matched on an indefinite hiatus. Life has made it difficult to keep the group active for many of our members, and this feels like the best course of action for the time being.

Our current members are welcome to continue playing their characters and/or continue their pairings as 1x1s if desired. The hope is that one day, Matched will be back, but for the time being, the main’s ask & submit box are closed, and there will not be any new or updated content posted here.

Having been an active group for 15 months, I am very grateful to the members who have come to this group, past or presently. Thank you all for allowing this group to exist and thrive for as long as it has.

Here’s what’s happening for the month of April:
