Sorry about that, my writing is a bit harsh and direct right now, I'm a bit on edge having just come down from an essay-writing fury after not sleeping for the last few days. Which I should probably do now, it's what, seven AM?Which raises a question I had, what hours do you (and the others at that) typically check in. How often a day are we expected to post/what is the pace etc?I'm on EST, and typically can check in throughout the day.Anyway good night/morning for now!

That's okay, you didn't come across as harsh, I was just concerned that I may have accidentally caused some offence. We're good :)

Well, my rule of thumb for an RP is [u]at least[/u] one post in 48 hours, to avoid inconveniencing others who may be waiting for your reply. Speed posting is fine, so long as the speed posters are speed posting stuff that does not directly effect the players who cannot/don't want to/hate speed post. Other than that, frequency of posts is down to the players. I guess the most important thing, is that those of us who can only post once or twice a day aren't left behind in the dust. 

Similarly, with post lengths, I'm not particularly fussed. This is a relaxed RP, so I have no real standards to apply to anyone; I've set this up in the Casual category, because it's the "middle road" and is accessible to many people with varying skills. Advanced is too snobby, and Free can sometimes turn into a freight train travelling at a rate of 38953 posts a second. 

The important thing to remember, is to enjoy yourself, first and foremost. There are no rules here. Just simply write! And try not to upset anybody in doing so, though I'm sure you're all experienced enough to know what kind of behaviour is frowned upon. If any disputes do arise, we shall deal with them in a [b]calm[/b] and [b]constructive[/b] manner. 

As for my time zone, I'm from the UK (centre of the time world baby!) so at the moment it's mid-day. I work during the week, and wont be able to post until 17:00 onwards. However, I don't think this has ever caused a serious issue with my former colonial kinsmen.
