Just some basic housekeeping:<br/><br/>I was just having a read of the rules for small game RPs and we are currently allowed 12 threads.<br/><br/>My desire is to keep everything contained in one thread for each particular "job" or "mission" - for example<em>A Mercurial Business</em>is your first job so everything should stay in this thread.  As long as everyone uses the Location and Tagging notes at the start of their thread, then it should be relatively easy to track where each character is at.<br/><br/>However, if a character is going to get involved in a particularly substantive scene or a location is going to become recurrent then we might start a separate thread for it, but its definately a less preferred option.<br/><br/>In regards to timing, if things are kept within the single thread then again it should be easy to keep everyone on a relative timeline.  Should events or actions require a "jumping" ahead in time then I will clearly note when that jump is due to happen in real time so that people have enough time to conclude any scenes they are involved in.<br/><br/>Finally, a GM tool that I've used uite a bit in various round-the-table pen-and-paper games is a thing called Cut Scenes.  Basically, it lets the GM's show the players (not characters) what the bad guys are up to...think about the SW movies and while Luke, Han and Leia are off doing something...you have Darth Vader and the Emperor plotting how they're going to ambush the Rebel Fleet.  This is strictly PLAYER knowledge and not CHARACTER knowledge.  I use it to show that the universe is a living breathing thing and not solely a one-dimensional beast responding to just character actions.  It helps to add context and nuance - but the information contained in a cut scene can never be used by characters to direct or influence their actions.  If you are in doubt then just PM me; if something from a cut scene does creep into a post, I'll politely ask you to edit via a PM.<br/><br/>Cut scenes will always be done entirely in italics so that you can distinguish them from regular posts.<br/><br/>As always, any questions, just ask.
