OOC Reminder: Use of Game Communities/Character Journals

[overlord-zordon.livejournal.com]

Hey all,

Just a quick reminder. Seems we overlooked clarifying this in the latest revision of the handbook.

As a general rule, the main game comms (fandomhigh, fandomhighdorms, and fandomtownies) are used for classes and schoolwide events, large interactive scenes and situations. Events that take place in common areas of the school (i.e. the gym, dorm hallways, common rooms, the basement, etc.) should go into the comms. Posts taking place in student rooms or private areas should go into character journals; this is why it's important that everyone utilize krycek_rat's friending list and keep all player journals friended. (We're still waiting on three more new player journal names to get submitted, at which point the fabulous Kry will be issuing a list update.)

fandomhigh_ooc is for general announcements and gamewide posts; please keep Out-Of-Character notifications for player availability in personal RP journals and label them as OOC.

There is a little bit of grey area, and we ask you to use your discretion in those matters. If you're not sure, feel free to catch one of us on AIM or email and ask for clarification. I swear we won't bite. (Well, I can't vouch for the others, but neither Zordon nor his NPC minion assistant Alpha 5 have teeth.) Or you can ask questions in the comments below.

Thanks, everyone!
