Please post in third person, present tense.  Choose a color for your speech and remain consistent.  Put thoughts in italics.  Put OOC comments in Orange.  NPCs will generally post in Brown, although Ladies are likely to have their own posting color.  Please do NOT use Brown, Red, or Orange to post your own dialogue.



I tend to post a lot and can easily post multiple times a day everyday.  I do not expect others to keep up with me and this is the sort of game that tends to move at a slower pace.  Please try to post at least every couple of days.

If multiple PCs are involved in a scene, please try to allow everyone a chance to participate.  If you have nothing to add, please post something indicating this.  E.g.  Blaine watches the others argue but remains silent.  Or make something conditional, allowing others to post until something happens.  E.g. Blaine watches the others argue and does not interrupt unless the pair seem ready to trade blows.

If you do not respond to something direct to you for a week, I will do my best to get you out of the scene.  If I do not hear from you in a month, I will NPC you.  N.B. I tend to kill off NPCs as warnings to others. :)

Everything posted in a thread is assumed to be understood by everyone in the thread.  If you post thoughts, the other PCs/NPCs will read them in your expression, gestures, etc.  If you say something you do not want everyone to hear, then put it in a PM in the thread.  Just be aware that others may find out what you said for a variety of reasons.

The only things that occur are things that are posted in a thread or PMed to me.  If you want to have something interesting about your background that may give you some advantage in some situation, then you need to let me know about it.

I strongly encourage everyone to discuss interactions and relationships with each other outside of the threads if you want to have some relationship other than 'companion knight.'  There is NOTHING wrong with characters that do not get along or have some form of friction but it is best if there is some agreement about it between the players.  Player friction is NOT good.

IMPORTANT:  The object of this game is for everyone to have fun, me included.  If you think I screwed something up or made a poor decision, please bring it up -politely- and we can discuss it and if necessary work things out.  Assume that I want things to work out so please keep up the conversation until we are both happy, or at least satisfied, with the result.

This is not a speed contest.  Please post something substantive.  If you are just responding to a piece of dialogue, brevity is fine, but most posts should have a bit more to them.

Please re-read your posts before submitting them.  I understand that English is not everyone's first language and posting on a phone is sketchy, but I really appreciate posts that are well written and move things forward.  If I can't understand what you are trying to do, it makes my life less enjoyable.

One last note.  There is nothing to win in this game.  It is about creating a character that you enjoy playing and that is fun for others to read about.  Your character will fail at things, that is how we learn.  It is also how we react to failure that defines us more than how we react to success.  I do not generally kill characters because of a few bad die rolls, but that does not mean that with a little effort you can't die.  I will generally warn you if you are on a dangerous path.  That said, I am pulling for all of you to enjoy the game and to have fun.

This is a game, it is supposed to be fun.  When it stops being fun, people no longer want to play.

Do not abuse or attack other players.

Do not make derogatory comments about other PC's actions in the OOC thread.

If you really think someone did something stupid and can't get over the fact that it is their problem and not yours, feel free to PM me about it.

This is not a porn site.  Please fade-to-black where appropriate.

Again, if there is a problem, let me know and work with me to fix things.  I am not a mind reader and my perspective on things is often very different than other people's.
