New Rule:
All posts in the game thread need to be literary in format. No blockquotes. No emoticons. No abbreviations. I will go as far to say that the only emphases used should be bold or italic print and punctuation only where it is appropriate. It's a given that you're speaking, so quotation marks aren't necessary, though if you're also using narrative, please use them. A little draconian, perhaps (this really shouldn't surprise most of you), but I think it will end up adding much more to your styles. To compensate, I'll add an 'expression' thread, where you can post whatever you feel like - art, music, freestyle rap, whatever. You may hyperlink to this thread from the game thread.
Needless to say, everything posted in the game thread should be in character and in game.
Small slips are inevitable, and if I can, I'll try to just edit them. If it gets tricky or I don't have time, though, the post itself might get deleted. This doesn't mean you can't post what you did, only that it's up to you to reformat and repost it.
I don't like cryptic hints. Never have. Anyone asking for one (not now) will receive one, and I guarantee they won't like it.

Does that mean that the Expression thread is also considered "In Character"? And, everything said in there is official?Syl wrote:New Rule:

I'd consider it in character, but not necessarily official. But then, I don't consider the game thread all that 'official.' It's really just a record of what you guys are saying to each other, official only in that sense. The expression thread is similar, but the gist is that it's not strictly verbal or straight forward. Considering you could link a youtube video... *shrug*

You expect Verelai would not stop bantering?
I'm afraid that you must continue with what's in character, then.
