Alright, from me that is a timeskip to later that day when the mission starts. Have fun with it and ask me questions if you want ^^
This mission is like, totally feet on the ground so it may take longer. Let’s keep that in mind for the distant future, but play by post can get slow between mid to end mission if it’s a long one so let’s just be patient together ;]
I also have way too many miscellaneous reminders, sorry:
If someone says they have private comms, the only people that can really override those are my GM NPCS (commanding officers and the ship, basically) and Alastair, as a CO, too. Example is if a player character’s posts says they spoke to a team member on private comms and said, “Eden sucks!” Eden might go “ò.O eh” but other player characters shouldn’t generally be able to tune into that.
Narration of your character’s internal thoughts like feelings and monologues are great but having them think negatively about other player characters within them is where the line should be drawn. They can be rude in their minds but it can be a bit annoying if it happens in actual posts, so please limit that. it doesn’t happen often so nbd
These "((OOC Notes: ))" are things I try to keep sparse and only when some really pertinent info needs to be shared. If it’s pertinent flashbacks, player character notes, wisdom, or GM notes, it’s all good- just keep it as a specialty rather than the rule for every post.
You don’t need to make every post five paragraphs or more. It’s more likely your other players will not read the longest posts, so keeping it shorter than my GM posts is a good idea. I wish i could shorten my own GM posts… :/
Link youtube videos, don’t embed them. No need to change font color for different characters, but you can put into a header their names for us to follow the jump to one or the other.
Generally be nice and have fun as you have all been doing!
