Posting Guidelines
Post Rate
Primary GM posts/updates are scheduled for Wednesdays (Evening) and Saturdays (Mornings). Players are expected to have a post for their PC in the IC threads for each of these cycles. This is the minimum amount of activity. If people are sustaining a higher level of activity/posting additional posts to these regularly scheduled updates can potentially be made where time permits.
Players who miss a posting cycle can expect to have their character act at best in self preservation, otherwise being passive or "distracted" in the IC thread. Those who recurringly miss post cycles will be considered for removal/replacement as players.
Post Length & Content
While I do not expect everyone to be a fantabulous writer I do expect a reasonably high degree of content for everyone to react to and play off of in each post. The more descriptive that we all can be in our posts the easier it is to get a more substantive back and forth going in our post cycles. And then before you know it we are all having fun with this strange collaborative thing that is PbP. All posts should be more than a one-line response of spoken text. Every post, even a simple “yes” answer should be accompanied by a substantive description of accompanying details such as stance, expression, gestures, or other relevant scene details.
In addition please proof-read, spell-check, and make your best attempt at proper grammar in the body text of your posts. If your PC doesn't use proper grammar ICly when they speak that is perfectly fine however it should still be easily understandable in content. Attempting to write an accent can be tricky so when in doubt either keep the text of the speech clearly understandable or provide a subtext/transcript to ensure there is no unnecessary confusion.
That said... I don't expect perfection on any of these things. We are all doing this for fun. However try to remember that the fun factor for many people is impacted by this sort of thing, enhanced when this stuff is done well and detracted from when it isn't. The goal here is not to be a writing nazi but to elevate the game and ensure we are all having maximum fun within the written medium that it all takes place in.
