This thread will be used for all OOC chatter relevant to the play by post (pbp) game threads. Posting Guidelines At minimum, players should expect to post 2 or 3 times a week. The more you post, the more fulfilling the game is. Make sure to read ALL posts, not just the ones you believe relevant to you. I understand allowances must be made for real life. If you feel that you are unable to hold up the minimum posts, please let me know and some arrangements will be made. No one-liners, or two-liners. Posts should be, at minimum, about four lines (or a paragraph) long. If you can't think of enough to write I respectfully submit you're not thinking hard enough. How does your character say what they're saying? What expressions do they wear? How do they move? How do they act? This is a roleplaying game, so succeeds or fails based on how well you portray your characters and how well the audience—me, the other players, PCs and NPCs, and anyone reading—come to understand them. Also, by being descriptive you leave less to the audiences imagination of what you're doing and informs them precisely of what you are doing. This will lead to less misunderstandings down the line. Please, please use correct grammar and spelling. We're all adults and went to school. We should be able to write grammatically correct sentences and spell correctly most of the time. Some advice: use a word processor and spell check. (This will also prevent your browser from losing your nice long post.) Then reread aloud to yourself what you wrote. If it doesn't sound right when read aloud it will most likely sound awkward when read by someone else. Reading aloud will also force you to concentrate on the words and catch corrections far easier than just reading it to yourself. The IC thread is for IC. It sounds obvious I know, but what I mean by this is that out-of-character questions and chatter should be kept to the OOC thread. The only OOC allowed in the IC thread is the breakdown of actions you wish to take during a round, which should be listed after any in-character writing and placed in double parentheses to indentify it. Please don't break up the flow of your narrative by including any OOC in the middle of the text. Rolling here on this forum will be done by me. At the end of your post, please inform me of what should be rolled for the skill and I'll inform you of the result in my next post.
