- I will start by posting an article which will detail the current scene and any updates since the last posting.
- After I post, you can then respond using the comments. Tell me what you're doing, what you're character is saying, and even feel free to delve into your character's thoughts. Be sure to check that Vitals tab; you're responsible for keeping an eye on your health!
- I may respond to your post with a comment of my own, giving you feedback.
- At a certain point, I will post a fresh new main article. You then post your comment to the current article, NEVER to the old ones. I usually turn off comments for old posts, leaving only the current one as comment-able.
Writing Style:
- Write from a third-person perspective, present tense. Example: Rick glances at Roy and says, "Some things never change, huh big brother?". He then nods pointedly at the young lady Roy was obviously ogling. Note: I may break this format in my own posts by referring to "you".
- Private questions can be sent to my email address.
- For "out of character" (OOC) chatter make sure the OOC text is separate from the non-OOC text and has some manner of defining it as OOC. Common methods are
- OOC: Text
- ((OOC)) Text
- [OOC] Text [/OOC]
Actions, Dice Rolling and Battle:
- Initiative: There isn't a strict initiative order during combat. You go when you post your action, and I process actions in the order I see them in the comments section. If you wish to delay your post until after another character acts, that's up to you. However, if you delay too long and I post the antagonists' actions before you do, you may lose your turn. Such is the price of delaying! I usually give fair warning, such as,"I'll give until Wednesday to post, and then I will post for the villains."
- Rolling dice: Either all dice will be rolled by me or we will use a dice log service.
