[Delete] | Because the Storyteller (meta-plot) sessions will be run within specific time frames, there will be specific rules for those participating in these sessions. No one is forced to take part in the these sessions, though they may still be affected by their results irregardless.
1) Due to the limited time given to these sessions (3-4 hour windows respectively), there will be a time limit 10 minutes with regards to how long it takes to post something. If more than ten minutes pass, you will be skipped. If your character is combat, they will automatically relinquish their ability to defend (they "fuzz out" at an inconvient time) and will suffer all damage done. If they are taking an action, again they fuzzed out and do not do anything for that round. If they are being pulled into a resisted roll, they loose. Basically, pay attention to avoid being screwed over and type out your post as your turn is approaching. (Exception to this being if you advise the ST of an emergency that requires you to "leave the table". Be advised, like at all tabletop games, this puts your character at the mercy of the ST.)
2) The ST will attempt to start things on time. So that said, please make sure that you are in the room by the time the session is supposed to start.
3) Please limit OOC (Out Of Character) comments to a minimum. If you want to have a private OOC convo with another player, use the messaging feature (click on their names in the avatar bar or /msg thecharacter'sname ). Just remember Rule 1.
4) If you arrive after the session begin, you are still welcome to join. Just be aware that you might not be able to either due to time constraints or that you might need to wait a little bit until the scene reaches a point that you can viably jump in. Please message the ST if you want to join the session after it begins so that they can attempt to work you in.
5) Please use the ST Sessions icon if you are participating in the scene. This is more to for the ST's benefit as non-session scenes might be taking place and it helps them differentiate.
6) Posting order will be listed in the MOTD. At the start of the game, the ST will ask those involved to post something specific (might be a . or a specific number or phrase. Really depends on their mood). Posting order will be determined based on the order they see the post on their end of the street (bottom to top). If you join after the scene begins, you will be last to post (until someone else joins in late).
7) Regular chat rules apply.
