The specifics of what is allowed in a given campaign may change, but what follows should be considered the general rules and guidelines by which all PbP games should be run on this forum.
Common Abbreviations
IC/IP - In Character or In Play. These terms are interchangeable and mean that the following or contained text is meant to be in the context of the game.
OOC/OOP - Out Of Character or Out of Play. These terms are interchangeable and mean that the following or contained text is meant to be read outside the text of the game.
Godmodding/Powerplaying - This forbidden action means to cause someone else's character to do something without their input. For example, John cannot make a post in which he states that Sheila's character jumps in front of his, or even reacts to something he says.
Posting Rules
Posts in the IC thread are in play by default. Posts should be written in third person, and must have bearing and relation on the current situation in game. This does not mean that banter and divergent discussions aren't allowed, just try to keep in the mindset of your character. OOC notes on particular actions and plans should be enclosed in brackets {}.
OOC questions and discussions should be restricted to the OOC thread wherever possible.
Within the IC thread there is a 36 hour window of response for all players to a summary post made by the GM. All players should have a default action for their characters filed with the GM, in case they miss the posting deadline.
