I wonder if a short "rule" page wouldn't be a bad idea in the OOC thread here at the start. I know there are some rules set up at the start of the actual GESB thread, but most people will probably look here first. I know we don't like to say we have rules...so we could just say that it's like the Pirate's Code...really more just guidelines. :p
Besides the original page in the GESB main thread doesn't mention our preferred character limitation. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to add a little list of things we expect of those who join the thread here too? I mean, it couldn't hurt... Just an idea.
You know, limit new players to one character,
Limit experienced players to three characters,
Ask people to post in 3rd person narrative,
Request decent grammar, spelling, and punctuation along with respectable post length...this includes complete thoughts and sentences,
Let new players know of our symbology usage... ((OOC)) <Thought-speech> <<Private thought-speech>> "Audible speech" ...
Limit OOC conversations to OOC thread,
all the other stuff we've mentioned before...etc.
We don't mind helping people to learn right? Well I would say posting these guidelines in an easily findable location would be a good start. Just my two cents. *shrug*
