Info for new players: Subject lines, tagging and what goes where
It's also a reminder for current players, but you don't need that, right?
Subject lines:
1. Please always use a subject line. Even if you aren't doing anything that wants interaction (i.e., if it is just an email, letter or an OOC post). Subject lines help make this clear at just a glance.
2. Please always tell us where you are. Even if it is just your room. If you want people to come talk to your character, they need to know where you are. A location isn't absolutely necessary for email, letter or phone posts though.
3. Please always tell us the approximate time of day. Morning, afternoon, etc. is fine. This is mostly for the dorms where we often end up with multiple posts for the same location throughout the day. It also applies to any NPC businesses in town though.
Tagging:
Tags have been made for all of the new students in fandomhighdorms. Only comm maintainers can make tags, but all comm members can add tags. Please try and remember to add the tag for your character when you join any posts in this comm.
If you are making a post in fandomtownies, always remember to use the appropriate tag. Please take a look at the Ultimate Townie Guide to make sure you are aware of specific requirements when posting there.
Teachers: We will have a new set of class tags posted for use in fandomhigh before the start of classes next week.
What goes where:
The only posts in fandomhigh should be classes, clubs, announcements over the PA system, and other official school activities.
fandomhighdorms is for any public posts on school grounds outside of official school activities. Common room posts, visits to the gym or shooting range, stuff like that.
fandomtownies should be used for any posts around town, in stores, or in common areas of houses or apartments (the lobby, or living room, or porch). The common areas in townie residences can also go into personal journals depending on how open the post is. Use your common sense.
Personal journals should be used for posts in personal living spaces (dorm rooms or a townie's apartment), teacher office hours, out of town posts that don't go into fh_trips, random OOC posts or availability notices, or the occasional post that wanders around so much that it's easiest just to keep it in one place. Posts that are primarily links drops for your character should ALWAYS be in your personal journal.
fh_trips is for larger group outings to places farther than The Mainland. Big group outings to a ball game, a road trip to Vegas with several friends, field trips. That kind of stuff. fh_trips can be used with permission from the admins.
fandomhigh_ooc is generally for things of an OOC but non-personal nature - updates on the friending list, informational posts on group outings or events, or OOC administration announcements (like this one!). Player availability posts should always go in your personal journal.
fhplotterywheel is for plot proposals, recruitment and information.
