Welcome to the After School Girl's Club.<br/><br/>Please feel free to post about the game, the characters, the weather, the cricket, the rugby, whatever. I'm of the opinion that the better a group get on in the OOC the more they will enjoy the roleplay.<br/><br/>Also, (And this is important), Please check the first few posts occasionally, because I will be adding stuff to them as we go...<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">RULES OF PLAY</span></strong></div><br/>I always say that there will be nothing onerous here, nothing draconian. I ask that everyone read them and post to say they have and are in agreement.<br/><br/><strong>IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH SOMETHING HERE, <span class="bbc_u">PLEASE TELL ME!</span></strong><br/><br/>All rules except two are negotiable!<br/><br/><strong>RULES:</strong><br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li>The GM's word is law. This does not mean I'm not open to discussion, but if it comes to an impasse, if a decision needs to be made, or a discussion is getting out of bounds, I will render a decision that I expect to be abided by. I will do this based upon context, and the majority feeling on a subject.</li><li>Respect other players ons and more importantly, their offs! <strong>This is NOT negotiable.</strong> Ons and offs are there for a reason. If you feel someone has broken this rule, please PM them first to talk about it. If they will not change their post, then contact me via PM and I will deal with it. Please note that persistently ignoring another players O/Os is grounds for reporting to staff! This is the <strong>GOLDEN RULE</strong>. Non-consent applies to the Character Not The player!</li><li>Try to post at least once a week. If you know you will be unable to post for a while please let us know in advance in the OOC. it is a good idea to create an Apologies/Absences (A/A) thread so everyone you are RPing with knows where you've gone. If you know you are going to be away for a considerable time (more than a week) please bring any story-arcs you are involved in to a conclusion , or extract your character from them.</li><li>If you find your character is sitting around doing nothing, post something to the OOC, or PM me. If you wait for someone to interact with you, you will wait a long time. As in all things in life, you get out what you put in. Make the effort to interact with the other players and they will interact with you.</li><li>If you have any questions about anything in the game, ASK! The only stupid questions are "how many beans make five" and ones that aren't asked!</li><li>The OOC thread is here for people to chat. I have no problems with you guys discussing the latest football results if you wish, (although I'd rather you didn't because I'm not into football), because it means you are getting on as a group. However, please try not to interject random discussions into serious game related ones if possible? Other than that, use this thread as you see fit!</li><li>Please tag all IC posts using the code supplied below, editing the details as appropriate. This will enable other players and myself to track where everyone is.</li><li>Please try to post about 200 to 300 words as a minimum. If you really can't manage that it's fine, but persistent one-line/short posts will attract my attention and I will ask you to edit them. I prefer players to post in past tense if possible, but if you can only post present tense, then please do. Post in first or third person as you prefer. My one requirement here is that you please be consistent within a post, and preferably throughout the game.<br/></li><li>There is no rule 9.</li><li><strong>HAVE FUN!</strong> This too is non-negotiable. If you aren't having fun, I would like to know why, so I can change whatever it is that is stopping you having fun!</li></ul><br/><strong>Code to tag your posts:</strong><br/><br/>Tagging posts is important, because when we have a lot of players, and they are in the same thread but in different locations, things quickly get confusing.<br/><br/>The code works in exactly the same way as the character sheet. Paste it in at the top of each post, and fill in the details. You can if you wish copy the code from a previous post you have made, but please remember to update it when things change.<br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=100 padding=5]Paste URL of character avatar here[/img][/floatleft]<br/>[table]<br/>[tr][td][b]Character name: [/b][/td] [td]Name of your character[/td][/tr]<br/>[tr][td][b]Location:[/b] [/td] [td]Where are they WITHIN the area covered by the thread[/td][/tr]<br/>[tr][td][b]With:[/b] [/td] [td] What PCs and NPCs are they currently with[/td][/tr]<br/>[tr][td][b]Doing:[/b] [/td] [td] What are they doing[/td][/tr]<br/>[tr][td][b]Tagging:[/b] [/td] [td] Who should respond to this post[/td][/tr]<br/>[/table]<br/><br/>[hr]<br/></code></pre><br/>Will look like this unedited...<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://Paste URL of character avatar here)</div><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Character name:</strong></td><td>Name of your character</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Location:</strong> </td><td>Where are they WITHIN the area covered by the thread</td></tr><tr><td><strong>With:</strong> </td><td> What PCs and NPCs are they currently with</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Doing:</strong> </td><td> What are they doing</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Tagging:</strong> </td><td> Who should respond to this post</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><hr/><br/>And like this edited:<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://justdanicacollins.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/school-mistress-danica-knows-how-to-control-an-unruly-class3.jpg)</div><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Character name:</strong></td><td>Paulette Neumann</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Location:</strong> </td><td>The master bedroom</td></tr><tr><td><strong>With:</strong> </td><td>Jessie and Jennie</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Doing:</strong> </td><td>Giving lessons in geometry...!</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Tagging:</strong> </td><td>Jessie &amp; Jennie</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><hr/><br/><br/>Game thread: http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=164066.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=164066.0)
