Posting Conventions

If your character is talking out loud: "Use the bold text!"
If you're sharing your character's thoughts: "Use the italic text!"
If you're stating something OOC (out of character):Generally long OOC discussion should take place in the "OOC Discussion" thread, but for quick questions or clarifications, using the OOC tag in the main post is just fine.

Game post etiquette - fluglichkeiten posted this for a game he's running. I like it so I'm going to post it here as well.


The most important thing is not to control another person's character. Even if it is something simple; they respond to a simple question or give you a high-five, whatever it is, it is considered bad manners. In your own posts only describe the actions of your character and what is going on in his/her mind.

Similarly, try not to describe the results of your actions. You may think lighting a fire should be easy, but the story may say that the fireplace you are working at has sticks of dynamite in it. If your character has got a nice blaze going and is happily warming her hands it makes it seem a bit weird and arbitrary when I suddenly blow you up!

These seem pretty counter-intuitive, and there may well be times when it is appropriate to do either of these things, but as general guidelines they will help the game flow.

Sounds good 😉
