Title: What is an In-room conversation?
Description: Rules


Lugana - May 24, 2004 01:32 AM (GMT)
I notice that many members like to pretend that they are in the same room as they talk using the double star action command. Well, I know many forums see it as Spam and laugh at us because of it, but I think I have a way to solve this.

I have created a way for you to interact with other writers using In-room conversations.

The rules are simple.

The person who creates a topic in one of the categories, at the very beginning, has to describe a setting.

When you describe a setting, you have to use a lot of detail. Let’s say you are in a room with a fireplace and an oak table in the center. Describe:

1. What’s on the table.
2. What the fireplace looks like.
3. What the floor looks like.
4. How the chairs are position.
5. How warm the room is.
6. How the room smells.


Try to keep the settings appropriate. No strip clubs or anything of that nature.

Now if you want to join the conversation, describe what you look like, and begin to talk and move around.

When you want to use an action, use a double star command or a double slash command.


Ex.

*Lugana waves to BatchGC*

-Lugana picks up a cup off the table and drinks-



When you use actions, try not to go over board. Keep it part way real.



None of this:

*And the giant chicken ran off into the sunset*

-Flogs Lugana to death with a heavy metal object-



Try to avoid using violence as well.

Hope you enjoy the new forums.
