[The Deal]Just a few things to start off with:
1. I have removed the need to log in to view the site.
2. I am going to try out a new way to grade threads, which will be done about once a month until there seem to be enough that they should be graded promptly. As the only one who grades them currently, it has to fall into my schedule, and work takes precedence.
3. Updated the mini-profiles slightly to include a better use of the "Sexuality" function until I see fit to change it. Please fill them out accordingly; if you are unsure as to the wording, please use the following guideline on mini-profiles:
Forgive my typos. Additionally, please set your account's gender to match your character's gender, so the mini-profile can do what it's supposed to and provide a brief overview of the character people are interacting with.
4. PLEASE read over thread guidelines when creating threads. I understand things have been done one way for a long time, but I need them to be different.8. No invite only threads. RP is about interaction and not just with a set clique of people. All threads are naturally Open threads, meaning that anyone who has reason can join.
9. While you may have closed threads, you cannot be doing anything significant in them, such as setting a trap, destroying a building, or killing a person, even if it is an NPC. Threads that violate this rule will be deleted. Closed threads may only be occupied by a single character, making them Solo threads. Solo threads do not earn points, with the exception being a training thread in the training board.
10. You may be in up to two current threads at once, both as your Primary Character and as the attendant Associated Character (totalling four present threads, excluding any Events to bring the total up to 5 threads) in order to move things along; if you are joining or making a second present thread, there needs to be a two-week (roughly) IC time-difference. 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 canon season, provided that it does not counteract any Plot-based thread, which is considered the ultimate canon. It is the duty of the threadmaker to note during what season and time of day the thread occurs, in addition to where in the general timeline the thread takes place. Please use the Thread Description to note whether the thread is past or present, and include the year in brackets: [2014].
I've bolded the parts that are needing to be addressed:
8; Since all threads are Open threads, they do not need to be labelled "Open" unless they are closed or solo threads;
9;Trainings are coming, I promise. [HERE THEY ARE RIGHT HERE]
10; Here is an example of what this means:
