*sighs contentedly, takes a deep breath, flips the PA switch*<br/><br/><strong>NOW HEAR THIS! NOW HEAR THIS! IS EVERYONE HAVING FUN?</strong><br/><br/>Please, if you aren't let me, Dasha and Atlas know how we can help?<br/><br/>*gives Linna BIG hugs*<br/><br/>Okay, two things:<br/><br/>1) Recruitment is on hold. There will be no second shuttle drop for a few weeks of real time.<br/><br/>This means that we have 20 or so Martian hours of game time to play out. All you experienced RPers know that 1 day on E can take weeks or even months of real time, and hundreds if not thousands of IC posts.<br/><br/>This is OK.<br/><br/>If in a few weeks time it looks like the game has gone stale, I will re-open recruitment and bring in the second shuttle.... Then again a few weeks after that for the third shuttle. If the game doesn't go stagnant I will make up some IC excuse why the shuttle drop is delayed.<br/><br/>2) Dashenka is deputised as AGM in charge of continuity.<br/><br/>This means she will be reading all the threads (so I don't have to - although I still will) and PMing anyone who's post doesn't make sense.<br/><br/>Please be nice to her and do as she asks. If she asks you to edit a post in a particular way, please do so.<br/><br/>This leaves me free to concentrate on the technical issues and sub plots.<br/><br/>If you have a sub-plot idea, please PM it to me for approval, if it requires environmental and/or NPC intervention, OR, if it is something that your character can initiate, have them contact the Base Commander IC to ask for permission... (then PM me to let me know you have per the cross-thread comms rule)<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=148593.msg6759075#msg6759075">Quote from: Linna on 14-08-2012, 16:42:15</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I'm going to put forward a suggestion.  If you aren't directly interacting with someone when you make a post but you start to during the course of your post, please send them a PM saying where and how you interacted.  This will help, especially cross-thread communication.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Passed!<br/><br/>I will add this and the cross-thread stuff to the rules post at the beginning, so we can all find it.<br/><br/>I'll get the last few new character sheets up as soon as I can.<br/><br/>Atlas is going to be chasing down people who haven't posted at all, to see if they are still in.
