I've been asked a few questions in PMs and thought perhaps, I might just toss out a few thoughts.  Sometimes, people don't think of certain possibilities, and other times, just assume something's not possible, or are hesitant to ask.<br/><br/>1) The characters themselves may come and go.  It's possible that someone won't be able to participate for a while.  It's quite OK for that person to "go on vacation".  For prisoners, you could be transferred to solitary for a month.  Please try to think in those terms when you consider your own absences, and let's use the OOC thread, or PMs to other players to help guide the thread.  Remember, it's not just about playing your part, but it should be fun for all of us to read and watch your interactions too!<br/><br/>2) We're trying to simulate a possible reality.  That means, that if you start as one role, it's possible to actually change roles.  A guard could get promoted, or a scientist demoted.  A prisoner could become privileged (maybe for snitching etc.).  Even a scientist or guard could end up a prisoner for various reasons.  Think about possibilities and let the role-play inspire you!<br/><br/>3) Just like #1 above, we can have new people coming in at any time.  New "hires", or new "acquisitions".  As your hosts, auroraChloe and I will help those people come in.<br/><br/>4) You can think outside the box when you create your character...  For example, my role as a scientist also includes my relationship to the company.  What about other possibilities?  A scientist working against their will because the company is blackmailing them?  How would THEY feel about doing cruel things to inmates?  Maybe, as a prisoner, you're not exactly a pushover - but find your own little way to torment your cell-mates?  What if you're a guard secretly in love with a prisoner?   The possibilities are endless, and if you're not sure, just post the thought here, and get some feedback!<br/><br/>Don't be afraid to ask questions here, offer suggestions about plot & setting, or to PM either auroraChloe or myself  :D<br/>
