OOC Kaiyō II Rules

Ametheliana · Jun 23, 2017

Contact your GM, Ametheliana, by forum PM or otherwise if you have any questions.

General Rules

Be familiar with the Fuji-class Kaiyō II starship, ~~Plumeria-class Kaiyō starship~~, rules and operating procedure, and plot wiki pages
Be kind to your fellow players— this is a non-issue with the Kaiyō crew, it seems, but it needs to be said regardless

IC Rules

Do not metagame
Do not control other players' characters
Do not act on the thoughts of other players unless those thoughts were transmitted telepathically
Let the GM describe damage to your character or enemies before you do so unless otherwise stated

Posting Rules

Use quoting other posts sparingly
Insert a space between paragraphs
Do not put asterisks around actions
18+ content goes in the appropriate 18+ forums, not this one
Do not double post
Post at minimum once a week (Though posting speed is between a few times a day to once every two days on average)
During audits or immediately before them, players that have not posted in a week or more will be removed unless the GM has been notified
Respect GM rights and as players do not decide future events in the timeline or start joint posts that happen in the future
Title conventions apply to our threads. Title non-mission threads that you may need to post as: Post-Mission #: Your Title Here
Colored text or linking to youtube videos in an IC post is unnecessary and may be edited out

Now just pretend like the word "Please" is in front of all of these requests!

And thank you for being a part of this plot!

Some tips I thought of:

While you are new to the ship, include your character's name in your posts for the first few missions. Learning names is hard even in real life, so letting everyone know in your post who your character is a few dozen times will help everyone get to know your character and may even avoid them being ignored!
If you are waiting to board (as there is a current mission underway) and want to RP, writing solo past RP is fine with me! That is where you write your character on the ship before the current mission and what they are doing. There's a lot of easy reasons why your character wouldn't be involved in the current mission, so don't worry about the implications or consequences of them not being present for the current mission, just have fun and write :]

I will edit this post as I think of more!
