This game is rated Mature. As such, we are allowed mature themes, strong language, drug use, and/or extensive violence as some minor portion of our story. Please, conduct yourselves accordingly.

Discrimination in Context
As a period work, historical discrimination and prejudice may be illustrated, though it should remain clear any such discrimination is in character and does not reflect the attitudes of the player.
Please don’t write in a stereotypical voice or manner to convey that your character is non-White. Just use standard English.
Using 1920s-1930s slang and expressions is encouraged and please try to avoid later idiom and phrases. Here’s some appropriate slang: https://grembert0.tripod.com/id1.html
Drugs
Drug use is almost as common in the era as illegal alcohol consumption but neither should be cause for excessive detail.
Sex
Please keep it “off-camera” and/or summarized in terms of emotional/psychological reaction, with no physical detail given. Sexual violence/Rape is banned in character, and its existence should be alluded to with maturity and sensitivity should that prove necessary.
Swearing
Swearing is permitted and even expected from low-life types.
Violence
Some moderate and occasional extreme violence may occur, the latter off-camera and/or without precise detail, as for Sex, above.
Nudity
Nudity should not be objectifying, intensely detailed or deliberately prolonged.

Posting Rate
I’d like everyone to check in at least five days a week. Post something, even if it’s just in the OoC thread at least every other time you log in. This shows me that you are engaged. But try to avoid double posts where you post again before anyone else responds. (Sometimes this can’t be helped,.)
Absence
If you’re going to be absent for three days or more, please note that in the Absence Log. No explanation is necessary. This lets me know that we shouldn’t wait for you and keeps the story moving. I will post for you when necessary, especially if in an action scene, but will try not to commit your character to any action you haven’t already indicated. For example, I won’t have your character make an attack unless they have already been engaged in combat.

A good post responds to the ongoing conditions/situation, describing your character’s words and actions. Better posts include some colorful description to contribute to the scene/mood. Best posts also provide a hook to prompt other characters’ responses. Strive to be best.

Words spoken by your character should be in a consistent Color so that I don't miss what has been said. Unvoiced words/thoughts should be in the same Color and italicized. Out-of-character questions/comments should be in Orange.
This all helps me process multiple posts every day.

Please post die roller results in Orange and in the format: <character name> rolled ## for <Skill/Characteristic> <level #>. So, Andy rolled 27 for hard Accounting 05.
This keeps me from having to search for your roll on the Die Roller and having to flip through multiple screens to determine your result.

Thanks.

A Note About Time
I expect our story to play out over several days in-game. Consequently, time will move cinematically, not continuously (though I don't expect any flashbacks).

I will jump intervening hours, even days, to move one or all to the next important bit. When I do, if you feel like there was something your character wanted or needed to do in the intervening time, let me know in a Private Message. I may choose to play out a quick scene with you in private or perhaps in a public thread. (Rats! Would that be a flashback?) Or I may work it into the current or future thread.

My point is that I don't want anyone stewing over missed opportunities. Talk to me, friends. I want this to be the best possible game experience for all of us.
