Beginning the Game
Now that we're starting to get a few characters ... here's how the game will begin:
The Premise:
* Once there are at least 2 characters allocated in a timeline, those players may choose a premise and begin rp-ing.
* This process is majority rules - if you don't get the premise you want, tough! Remember you can always influence the timeline once it's up and running, but you can't rewrite to something completely outside that premise.
* Remember to tell me (whochick) your premise so I can put it on the community info page.
How to rp:
* Preface all direct posts to rpgwho with the number of your timeline.
e.g. "(8) topic"
* Other than that, you can pretty much rp any way you like. Some suggestions are:
1. Post anything your character does by themselves in your character lj and link to it in a community post.
2. Post any interaction you do with other characters as a comment based discussion in the community, or cut and paste any msn, yim, aim dialogues in the community behiind a cut.
3. Remember, you're going to have to 'play' some extra incidental characters and villains yourself - not that you'll need to apply for these characters but include them in your timelines or you'll end up playing with only three characters or something equally as boring!
Now we just have to come up with some good premises! If you have any (they don't have to be for your timeline) then please comment.
