Since we've got a few RP newbies in this forum, I thought I would address a few recurring questions to help you out getting used to the format. I'll add to this more as more questions come in.
Can I join a thread in progress?
Typically, if a thread is marked (OPEN), that means any character may jump in as they please. If a thread is marked with particular characters, you need to ask one of the players listed if you may join.
Can I be in more than one RP thread at a time?
If you can handle it, sure. Make a character tracker thread to keep track of your chronological order, but be careful not to overdo it and spread yourself too thin.
There's a canon character who would be where I am, but with no player. Can I NPC them?
We would rather you didn't, just to simplify when those characters are taken up by players. You can mention them in passing, but no elaborate interaction.
Can I make Out of Character notes in a post?
Sure. Post them in [[]] or (()) at the top or bottom of your post, in small font if you like. Restrict this to OOC notes about your post, though - express actions in narrative and keep random chatter to the cBox or the OOC forum.
