				Here is the OOC thread for Sunset House. I'd like to have any posts not pertaining to interest in the game to now be posted here instead of the recruitment thread. I'll also be posting any updates to the Elluki here as well.<br><br>Sunset House Elluki (WIP) (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Private:Sunset_House)

				Well, this would be your game, you're its GM. If you want a system, feel free to use such. I'd advice against it due to not having said this would be a system game in your interest check. Or you can do what you suggested and take a light system for certain things or certain areas but not impose it upon the whole of the game.<br><br>Personally, I never use any system and keep to freeform always. I trust my gamers/ co-writers to not abuse any form of power (godmod or metagame).<br><br>I do understand, though, that certain types of games need a system.

				My initial goal, and this is open to discussion and change, is to have a single in game day span twelve days IRL. <br><br>For example. The game date is November 21st, 2024. The time and date from when I get everything put together and send out the bulk PM to give everyone the appropriate links for bookmarking will be 00:00 11.21.2024. As of midnight on that RL day and for the next three days (4 total RL days) the game time will be anything between 00:00 and 07:59. On midnight of the fourth RL day game time will shift to 08:00 - 13:59 for the next four days. Again at midnight time will move forward to 14:00 - 23:59. At the end of those four RL days the time/date will become 00:00 - 07:59 11.22.2024. At which point scenes from that night will need to be wrapped up in short order and everyone get their characters onto the next day. <br><br>So to answer your question, I don't have a requirement as far as posting frequency goes. However with the date-time structure proposed above, regular posting would be necessary to keep from falling behind.<br><br>Now as I've said the date/time vs real time is a subject open to discussion and I thoroughly encourage players to voice their opinions and suggestions for how time should be handled. I want it to be completely clear that as my players I value your opinions highly and want to work with you, all of you, to make a game that is enjoyable by everyone. So please don't just look at the proposed time schedule and quietly slink away. Give me/us your opinion. You will be heard and every effort will be made to accommodate.<br><br>If you are asking about something like posting format dakabhn then that will best be answered through the Elluki which I will be working on somewhat today. So keep an eye on this thread for updates on that.

				Well, my posting schedule will be MWF with possible posts other days.<br><br>I like it, I think. It gives time for some and if someone posts faster and ends up at midnight on the third day.... well, ... hmmm. :) Would flashbacks/dreams be allowed if one were to be too quick?

				Posting too quick shouldn't be a problem. Odds are good that unless your just posting random stuff all by your lone some your character won't get too far ahead chronologically speaking from anyone else.<br><br>I.E. The 12 days in real life equate to 1 full day in game. Morning/Afternoon/Evening are broken down into 8 hour chunks of time. The time clicks over every 96 hours in real life. So when your posting its more or less assumed you start posting about what your character is doing earlier in the day and as events progress moving toward later in the day. <br><br>I'm not really sure how best to explain that. Fireflights you wanna give it a shot?

				Elluki Update: Removed the non-consensual character death from the Locations page, added place holder while I figure out how best to handle char death if it should crop up. Regardless of the method I settle on any player making a new character as a result of a character death is automatically grandfathered in, their role will not be given away or opened up (unless they decide to take on a different role with a new character). <br><br>Additionally I will not have time to work on the Elluki or post here much if at all over the weekend and foreseeable future weekends. If there are any concerns or questions Fireflights is my Co-GM and can help you or reach me if she can't.<br><br>Have a nice weekend.

				Okay, I still need to read these rules (I haven't played Shadowrun in <em>forever</em>), and I'm about 80% done on my character history.&nbsp; Just wanted to check back in here so you wouldn't think I'd poofed, I'll try to have an opinion and a character sheet ready sometime tomorrow night.

				Pending Elluki Update: Will be doing extensive reworking on the History page. For the time being disregard the history described there.<br><br>As I tried working out the settings history I realized I didn't allow enough time for the war to develop, break out and finish. Also I realized some people may want to create adult characters that grew up after the war. So I'm going to be extending the time line and the length of time its been since the end of the war. <br><br>All of this will be done on Monday.<br><br>Thank you.

				<strong>Elluki Update:</strong> System page, Proposed an different system. One which is really less of a system and more a variation on free-form. It's purpose being to keep the game free-form while still adding an element of structure.<br><br>Expect the updated Setting History by the end of the day. And for the game to be getting ready to start by the end of the week [Read: Character sheets due by the end of the week.]<br><br>If you can't get a character sheet PMed to me by Sat. let me know via PM with why and when you expect to have a character sheet done I'll do my best to accommodate you by which I mean figure out how to work the character into the game after it's begun. <br><br>Roles not yet filled by Players will be portrayed by NPCs, when a new player comes to take these roles the NPC will be written out and the Player in.<br><br>

				Again I apologize for the lagging start to this game, real life has been getting in the way. Though, I can with confidence say that myself and Fireflights are hard at work putting everything in place to get things off the ground sometime this next week.<br><br>Elluki Update: History page updated through 2021. Taking a break for the night and will start working on the details and events leading to how things ended up the way they are come tomorrow through at the latest tuesday. I anticipate that even if everything that can go wrong does go wrong, I'll have the Elluki completed before the sunday after this one, and will be putting together and organizing the IC game threads.<br><br>Once I've finished with the setting information I will send a mass PM to the lot of you to let you know character sheets will be needed shortly there after.
