I plan to play this all in 1 thread... ;)<br/><br/>Nice short sharp bio BTW, thanks ^_^<br/><br/>Hi, BIG edit and a change of ideas – I am going to try something a bit different to what you may all be used to. If you are used to medium to big games being played over several threads representing different locations this might at first seem confusing. However do please, please bear with me, its very simple (much simpler than multiple threads I think) and has a couple of really cool advantages. EVERYTHING in this game is going to be played in ONE thread, no matter where you are or what you’re doing.<br/><br/>I am in a game on another website that has 14 characters in, often they are spread all over a whole school campus, sometimes they are scattered in different parts of a whole<em>city</em>. We play it like this and it works fine. Please – trust me, let’s try it ;)<br/><br/>Generally we play one thread per DAY. When one thread gets very big or we end the day, I’ll just create a new thread for the next. Or a week later, skipping some time out. The old thread just dies.<br/><br/>If you are playing multiple characters, please start your post with the character’s name, you may even wish to insert a 100x100 pixels avatar each time too. These conventions won’t hurt even if you have a single character. ;)<br/><br/>I will supply a plan of the villa, all you need to do when you enter play is describe where your character is, and when you change locations, just write that you are doing so.<br/><br/>When you begin interacting with other character(s) you’ll soon get into the habit of looking out for their posts and responding, characters can share scenes, enter and leave as they go on, all seamlessly. The main thing is you need to pay close attention to ALL other characters and where they are and who they are with. If they come into the location your character is, then the interaction starts. Oftentimes they’ll be miles away in another room but you do need to keep an eye on their posts to see if they switch locations and join your character. If they do, you just ensure your post then meshes with theirs or you just note their presence. After a few posts it’ll come naturally, I promise ^_^<br/><br/>One of the cool benefits of this system is the game isn’t fragmented all over the place, everyone sees what everyone else is doing and the players bond more strongly. There is no issue with moving to another scene if you think you’d like to be involved in that scene or conversation, just don’t abuse this telepathic ability – usual ‘wise’ and restrained RPing rules apply ^_^<br/>
