Alright, you've made your character, or your at least thinking about it.
In the theme of what I've seen other roleplaying boards doing we're going to do our "Big" plots in special threads. Because a forum isn't linear in time, we're going to let you do 'whatever' leading up to the "Events" and then leave you to it. Each of the event threads will have a variety of various people. The staff will be responsible for playing character bouncing so your threads all- ultimately make one big story.
Our First "Event" will take place on Day One. We noticed in other games it's kind of slow, in this game we're jumping right into the fray. So, Day one you have a few places you can post.
Now The Time We First Met-
This covers the early part of our first day of Crystal Angeles. Roughly between the hours of 5 am and Noon. Please keep this in mind that is based on "Time period"-- so try not to be in two places at once! Your welcome to do threads with your parents (staff will happily assist with any NPCs you need, if you don't want to do them yourself) or meet up for early morning college classes at various campuses around the city. This board is for getting out introductions, fun ideas you have, etc. The staff will also have their characters and a few NPCs of interest cruising the board as well.
I Cross Time And Dream Of It-
This is covering the time from Noon until... roughly 3 pm. This is the first major story arch time period where we're going to introduce major plot points. There will be multiple locations, and multiple threads dealing with a variety of problems. Each Thread will max out at 3 players to allow for quicker (hopefully) posting. There will always be an open thread- and if it closes with a resolution, then there will be another one open... This allows players who don't start in IRL time right on time, to still participate in the opening activities. (we will probably close this particular story arc and move on sometime in mid-June.)
Amidst the Ruins, That is Where I Found You
Will be the next thread that covers the time period from 3 pm to midnight and plot threads will unlock when the plot progresses a bit further.
Our game considers all threads "Realistic Open"---- which is just what it sounds like. If your characters are meeting in a private location, such as someone's house, it's highly unlikely someone's going to just barge in. However, if your at say a public Park, realistically anyone can stroll up and invade a conversation...
