• The RP expects
five posts a week minimum. More at a rate of once per day is still very much welcomed, but five posts a week minimum is required. The only exceptions and allowances I neccessarily give to players missing posting are for:-
• Exams
• Holiday
• Sickness
• Special Circumstances
But I'd still prefer those to hit on the two days leeway people are given to not post, and not for that to be used in addition to those two days. I strive for consistent posting and players, if I see a player prove to be more inconsistent than consistent, the player will first recieve a warning, and then a ban on the second instance. Inconsistent posting and missing of posts not only means that player is missing a post, but forces the rp to slow down and potentially make another poster have to miss posting. It creates an ugly, knock on effect I'd like to avoid.
Don't make me Falcon Punch you into the sun. • Keep regurgitation within IC posts to a minimum. It adds nothing to just repeat what another player has written and instead causes the more unneccessary need to read the same thing over and over. Proactivity is key, and posts that move the scene on and give fellow players something to build from is what's sought after. A good way of knowing whether or not your post works in this regard is to imagine if your post would work within a 1x1 and give your sole partner enough to actually work with and build upon the rp with it, and vice versa. If not, it'll need editing. Give what you get - this doesn't just extend to post length, but post content too.
• The miminum posting length for this rp is 150 words, with general post length sizes being what can be seen currently in the rp. I don't like massive posts filled with pointless regurgitation and fluff, it's not fun, especially when needing to read it daily. This just helps to keep the rp focused, moving and developing, and works well for everyone. A 150 word minimum is also there so that, if people are exceptionally busy on a day, they should theoretically be able to post, because 150 words is... not that difficult to write at all.
• No Powerplaying or Godmodding.
• Calling IC posts. Because the rp has nearly daily posting and eight players, it's best to make a post within the OOC announcing when you are working on an IC post, effectively 'calling it' and making sure we don't get any instances with people posting at the same time. However, if players' characters are not in the same scene together, and thus their posts wouldn't infringe on the other, it's okay for both players to post. When calling an IC post, please try to make sure that the IC post is then up in a timely manner, such as within an hour. The following bullet point plays into whether or not any problems crop up, but this is fairly self explanatory. And on the flipside, if you cannot post on a particular day, please take a minute out of your day to say so on the ooc, it makes it easier for everyone.
• OOC Communication. Speaks for itself. A healthy ooc means a healthy IC and rp overall. If anyone has any questions about anything relating to the rp, the OOC is a fantastic place to ask for everyone to see and respond to. Anything personal towards me, a PM through RPG or Skype works just as well too and I can assist automatically there and then. For co-gm chapters, the same can be done for our co-gms, if not making a group pm with all those neccessary involved. Don't be shy or embarassed or anything like that. Communication really is super important <3
Sorry if I might have worried you or anything, I just needed some clarification on things. Your post was fine! Go get some sleep! XD
