Clarify rule ten for me:
"10. You may be in two current threads at once, one as your Primary Character and one as the attendant Associated Character. You may be in as many past threads as you think you can handle. A past thread is any thread taking place before whatever the current IC year is, and any current thread may take place at any point within the current IC year. It is the duty of the threadmaker to note during what season the thread occurs."
I am understanding that the current game year is 2001 (and i have aged my character to reflect this) and unless stated differently, all threads created now are off this year, allowing for any number of threads to be created in the years prior, including 2000. Is this not the case?

Correct - Haru had lead me to believe the Come a Cropper thread was taking place this year, and not the year previous. Whap him for messing up the timeline, eh?

In Kiba's last post in the First District event, you wrote "the bodies of the Hollow were given to the flames, to ensure their total demise and eradication of their pollution."
Is this pollution metaphorical of the Hollows, or literal? Like, does the decomposition of a Hollow poison the land with Reishi or something?

So I have a few questions about the changes.
The first is that I noticed something about linking accounts. Not completely sure how to do that but does that mean we're going to use that with the second character that we're making so both character can be posted on from one account or are we still going to have one account per character?
The second question is if we are going to keep the forum to be members only? I know this is probably lower on the priority list due some of the coding problems but I still figured that it would be good to ask about it.
EDIT:
Just noticed that the most recent post i made in the Moderator Request thread isn't there. Not sure if thats something to be alarmed about or if this is the best place to say it but I figured I should give a heads up about that.
I would also like to ask about editing posts. When I tried to do that to this one and in the thread tracker I got a popup. Mentioned something about AJAX processes pending at that if I leave the page any changes might not be saved. It worked when I tried again but is that something we should be alarmed about?

Happens to me too, though I find if I don't leave and give it a second before pressing the button again, it works. I thought AJAX was like, the auto-refresher, because I remember SL using AJAX for messages; like, you didn't need to refresh the page for the messages to pop up new - it would automatically do that, assuming you didn't time out. I think it means when you edit a post, it might automatically refresh or let you know if someone posts during that editing moment in the thread. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's just as guess. I also think the account linking has nothing to do with merging the accounts. I currently have like... Maybe 4 accounts all linked to my email (I used the new proboards version to make a new forum for Naruto Revolution), and currently there I have 2 accounts. Basically, I think when you log in with your email address, it allows you to choose whether you want to log in with, say, Biru or Kiku at this time. It's probably easy for the staff to keep track of who is who, but I think really that's the only purpose. Like, they might also be able to see what other sites I'm on based on which accounts are linked to my email. Because I realized there's this little button thing in the bottom right-hand corner of my screen; then I accidentally clicked something there, and I was able to see the 4 accounts for my email address. Hope this helps, and answers the question. If you have multiple forum accounts on one forum, and have these accounts linked to your global account, you can easily swap between your forum account with just two clicks. Assuming you are already logged into a forum account and are now wanting to switch to a different account, locate the ProBoards forum bar located at the very bottom-right hand corner of the screen. In this bar, click the icon and you will be taken to the "Select Account" screen. Next, simply click on the forum account you would like to be logged into. After this is completed, you will be taken to the forums home page and will be logged into the account you selected on the previous page.

When I tried to do that to this one and in the thread tracker I got a popup. Mentioned something about AJAX processes pending at that if I leave the page any changes might not be saved. It worked when I tried again but is that something we should be alarmed about? 1. You will still need an account per character. There is a coder out there who is working on something that will allow you to have an 'alternate' on a single account, but as far as I know, he isn't done yet, so it's irrelevant for the time being.
2. I believe @hanataro intends to keep the forum as members only.
3. As it was stated in the May Announcements, there are some caching issues. If you simply do a test post, it will bring back the old posts. I did so and all the old posts should be back. The same thing had also occurred in the absence thread yesterday. It's an issue that has effected a few forums besides this one. Inconvenient and annoying, but fixable.
4. This has to do with the live preview/the auto-save draft options. I think either or causes the page to give you a warning when you go to edit, but it's only to make sure that you want to. It's nothing serious. Posting from the BBCode section rather than the live preview section shouldn't give you this popup unless it is because of the auto-save draft, but either way it's not a big deal and you shouldn't worry about it.

Can I make Brain's assistant character a part of another Division? I'm not exactly sure if I can do that. I know you aren't allowed to go outside race when making an assistant character, but i don't know about Division.

Post by Deleted on May 9, 2013 10:04:23 GMT -8
Associate Characters must share the Division with their Primary Character and be unseated. I thought I had added these stipulations to the Rules thread but I have not, thank you for asking, they will be added shortly!

Can someone clarify the purpose of associate characters? The way I understand them, they are a support for your main character's progression. It'd be like if you had a kid character, you could have a mother character for an associate, but in the case of Shinigami, that doesn't make a lot of sense. I couldn't make a profile for Aya's grandmother or aunt or niece as an associate character unless such a character was also an unseated second division character, which doesn't make much sense.
I figure I'm just not getting why they're there.

They were a requested function, by popular demand from a bygone time. If you don't want to use the system, you don't need to - it is by no means mandatory. In the most basic sense, however, their current function will allow players to play in two different 'current' threads simultaneously, rather than only one, using the Associate character as a mouthpiece.

So, a question which was prompted by the prospective return of our friendly neighbourhood Miha...
Can someone RP a dead character if they only participate in past threads which take place before said character died? I'm curious seeing as we have at least two characters who are dead now but were rather important, or at least common, in the lives/past of living characters. For clarification, Mihamaru was the employee of Sengoku. Any thread taking place in the bar while Mihamaru was alive would suggest that he would be there, working. Right? As well, Kiba was the nigh inseparable friend of Sumie. It just wouldn't make sense if she weren't present in past threads when she would have been alive. She was also an Lt, I believe.
So yeah. Could someone RP their dead characters in past threads?

Could someone RP their dead characters in past threads? I discussed this with Cain and the short answer is yes. Long answer is they don't receive RP since the character is dead and their actions have nothing to do with their existing character as the no interaction rule between characters owned by the same person still applies. Basically, all it'll serve to do is open up more RP for those that choose to do so. If one does decide to do it, they'll probably also need to post the link to the deceased character's profile in their first post and make it clear that's who they're RPing.

Players due to receive bonuses will be asked, if they don't indicate whom themselves.

So, I'm curious: how much would a chicken cost on AK? Like, buying from an NPC merchant.

Not being in the Item list, suppose that's up to whoever you go buy a chicken from.

If it were going to be an above-par chicken, it would need to be handled as the other pets, yes. The question's phrasing, however, implied a standard cluck-cluck.
For that sake, probably it would go something akin to the 'Bird' in the Item List.
"Bird - A small bird (you may pick the type as long as it is small) which can be used to deliver small paper messages to areas it has been trained to go to. Comes in a variety of different colors and patterns. It adapts easily to a new name.
Price: 100 Gold"

We do start with 50 gold, correct? Because Jaga's profile doesn't list as such. I just want to be sure I'm not crazy.
Also, there aren't any items on the list for reptiles. While I'm interested in it for the other account, I feel grossly underrepresented. D:< I'm just playing, but srsly, snake pet pls?
