Hey bigfootrules, could you post links to the game? To the Game Details and to the Forums please.
Hm... seems like you're using IE. Can I suggest a better browser, such as Firefox, Chrome or Opera? There are other choices too.
If you wanna stick with IE, or can't switch, I'll warn you right now, while most of this site should work with IE, stuff might come up buggy, so you might not enjoy it as much...

[ +- ] Spoiler: A vague gistImagine a campaign like a good collection of short stories: each story containing a unique world pocked with singular characters; each story enclosed in one great big book. The great big book is something of an omniverse, the stories universes, and story after story means universe after universe, all bound by the same ineffable glue of the beyond. But imagine stories bleeding into other stories, universes trickling into other universes. Would it still be one story? Would it be one universe? Would it all become one unified paracosmos, a folktale for the gods behind the impossible curtain?
Before the characters' stories converge, each Player will have run through a prologue. The prologues will likely run concurrent, developing in separate threads which will be open for all other Players to observe and read. The contemporaneous prologues will then foregather like rivers mixing into the sea. The sea will then be the ongoing tale.
