Even though this is not a game, per se, it may have game-like elements and may discuss game mechanics insofar as how they are best rendered in RPoL's play-by-post environment.

Our purpose here is to learn about RPoL features, and about how they can be utilized to make games richer, more effective, and more entertaining.

I intend initially to go through the FAQs and Help sifting for information, then designing experiments to test a given use of a feature.

I see no need for Adult Content or Mature Content in this environment as yet, and intend to keep it accessible to as wide an audience as possible.  Future experiments may venture into these areas to some extent, but will be properly separated from content of a more general nature.

No content herein discussed, except where attributed as such, should be taken to be the policies, procedures, or proprietary methods of RolePlay Online, hereinafter referred to as RPoL.

All tips, tricks, work-arounds, discussions, and experiments posted in any thread of Heru's Tinkertoy are my creation, except where attributed, and, while they reflect the state of my knowledge at the time of posting, are subject to revision, redaction, or removal if I find them to be useless, objectionable to the RPoL staff in any way, or otherwise not fit for publication.

All efforts to test these various methods for safety, security, and stability have been made, but it is possible I may not foresee all edge cases or peculiarities of your use case, in particular.  Anyone trying any of the methods detailed here should test also, and report any unanticipated outcomes for inclusion in the record here, please.  This will help ensure that content here is of optimal usefulness to all.
