Basic Rules
1. You may be involved in more than one thread, but do not bend reality (i.e. if your character is at the bar on Tuesday night, they cannot simultaneously be at the docks on the same Tuesday night). Additionally: while you can be involved in multiple threads, if you have started a thread, try to finish it before you begin a new thread. We do not need 80 threads started by the same character all going on at once.
2. Post often. As in, more than once every day. The more often the better.
3. Obey Rules, and be nice to others.
4. Spellcheck if you can.
5. When possible, use character Icons in posts.
6. Please keep your sig updated for character locations.
Getting Started
1. First, read the rest of the rules.
2. Then go copy the character application sheet, found in the Character Applications section.
3. Fill out the application for your character.
