We’ll be building a unique matchmaking project. The members will not be able to contact each other through the website. The meeting will take place at the party we’ll be organizing at the end of each month. So we’ll be using the website as a tool for inviting people to the parties and encouraging them to purchase party tickets.
## Deliverables
Website membership is available by invitation only and also subject to administrator approval. Anyone who is invited is allowed to sign up and send unlimited number of invitations. Invitations can either be open or closed, based upon the choice of disclosing the identity of the sender, or not.
For those who wonder if a relative or a friend is already a member, we’ll be offering the visitors to make a query based on e-mail address. So if the e-mail address of a visitor’s buddy is already registered, he/she will be asked to send an invitation to the enquirer.
Each member are asked to fill out a complete profile consisting of the following. All fields are mandatory:
- Nickname
- Name-last name (Member may choose not to disclose this information)
- Gender
- E-mail (Not to be disclosed)
- Password
- Personal identification number (Similar to a social security number)
- Photo
- Date of birth (Member may choose not to disclose this information)
- City
- Profile information (Explained below)
Profile information feature is what makes this project unique. We have defined the following five criteria:
- Intelligence
- Career
- Looks
- Wealth
- Education
Each member will be asked to arrange/sort those attributes from the one that is most like himself/herself to the one that is least like himself/[login to view URL], if a member thinks that he/she is more intelligent than is wealthy, “intelligence?? will have the higher priority, compared to wealth. The member will also be asked to submit a short description for each of the attributes as to why he/she thinks this ranking is accurate. An example for this field would be:
1- Intelligence: I have recently scored 160 on a scientific IQ test, so i seem to be pretty intelligent.
2- Career: I’m the director of sales for a multi-national company
3- Wealth: I have a decent income considering i’m still below 40
4- Education: I have a bachelor’s degree from a decent college. I wish i completed my graduate study.
5- A minority of my friends would find me handsome.
Members will be able to cast votes for each of these attributes to show how much they agree or disagree with the member. So if an under-educated member claims his/her education to have the higher priority, his/her education score will decrease. For a modest member who doesn’t find herself beautiful, it will be the other way around. A top 10 list on each attribute will be displayed on the rankings section.
Members will browse other members’ profiles to consider those attributes and “show interest“ to those they like. At the end of each week, all members will receive a newsletter telling which members have visited their profiles, along with the pictures and nicknames, and an invitation to purchase party tickets. The newsletter will also include the number of members who have shown interest to the recipient, if there are any. But one has to purchase the party ticket to be able see the pictures and the nicknames of his/her favorers. In order a male to be able to purchase a party ticket, he must be favored by at least two females. This restriction doesn’t apply to females. The exception to this restriction is for three VIP tickets, which will be sold by an auction at the end of the month.
The most favored male and female of the month will win a free party ticket.
Should two members show interest to each other, they will be informed immediately, and invited to purchase tickets.
Those who purchase their tickets should send at least five invitations on the website to receive their tickets. Tickets are basicly auto-generated ID’s, matched to their personal identification numbers. One can use five of the invitations to invite only one member, so that he/she demonstrates how much he/she wants the recipient to come to the party.
A male member can come to a party once in every three months, whereas ladies are free to do so as much as they like.
Each party will host 100 participants, 50 male and 50 female. Number of available tickets will be displayed on each page, being counted down from 100.
