Back before I found this site, and did a lot of chatroom based RP, people that would just kinda sit around and then complain about no one RPing with them was one of my pet peeves.  :P<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Rule 4 stems from my experience of big groups on this site where a player will post once, that their character has taken a seat at a table, and then they never post again... It also comes from my experience of a MMORPG called Furcadia, where someone will wander into a "room", usually made to look like a bar, where a lot of people are enjoying themselves and chatting, they will sit in a corner and sigh, and expect everyone to ask them what's the matter, and then they leave when no-one does!<br/><br/>Oh, and in case anyone is interested, Rule 9 comes from the first game I posted rules for, when I could only think of nine rules, but wanted a round number. Anyone who has ever seen official documentation from a major computer manufacturer might be familiar with the phrase, "This page intentionally left blank"? That in itself is an oxymoron, as the page is NOT blank, it contains the words "This page intentionally left blank"...! It is the beginning of a paradox. I figured, what the heck, and put "There is no Rule 9", and I've been doing so ever since! Mysterica is the first person to comment on the fact<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Any way, on to business... I'm going to put some back-ground info up, in one of the above posts, but I'd like to discuss it first.<br/><br/>Star, Angel and I have agreed that we are going to start the game shortly after the twins' 16th birthday, on a Friday evening - the club's usual meeting night. Up until this point, their dad has always come and taken them for weekends on the Friday night. But this particular Friday, he has phoned to say he can't make it. Paulette decides that it's time her daughters joined the club, and so doesn't cancel it like she has on other occasions when her ex has cancelled.<br/><br/>I think that all the characters should know each other at least vaguely, with the possible exception of Adriaana.<br/><br/>Any thoughts? Any ideas on how people want to have their characters introduced to the club?
