Posting Rules - A Refresher Course

Post by pants » Tue Aug 26, 2008 11:55 am

Ok I've been away for a while and to be honest I can not for the life of me remember what the posting rules are here.  I think this topic is better in the Game forum but I can't post anything in there so I'm putting it here.

First off what tense are we posting in?  It's third person right?

Second when we want to talk to somebody are we still using ? 

I'm sure there are other things I've forgotten but feel free to add anything that I may have missed while I've been away.

Yeah, it's third person in a past tense of sorts and we still use tags which can tag the player or character (this still isn't consistent)

Nuts, I knew Third Person wasn't a 'Tense' but a perspective.  Oh well at least we clarified that!

What about the location the characters are in.  Is that still posted at the beginning of the post before we start actually writing our response?

You mean that timestamp thing? Not that I know of. We stopped using that. Only the GM does. But I mean, if you think we need clarifaction go for it.

Yeah I was talking about the timestamp thing but it's good to know that it's not necessary.

Ok well I think I'm up to speed then.  Cheers Astro Boy!
