User info and game journals
Hi, folks. Since we're on the verge of having a bunch of new students, teachers, and players, this is the perfect time to remind people of some organizational matters that are very important.
One of the most important things you need to take care of - and it's simple, don't worry - is your userinfo. It must contain accurate information so that people have quick facts and contact info at the click of that little head thingy that's right next your username.
All player journals - both new and old - should make sure they have the following in their userinfo:
Character Name:
Fandom:
Email Address:
Voicemail Link:
Living Arrangements: (dorm room number or name of off-campus residence and roommates/housemates)
It doesn't have to be in that format. You can work some of it into a paragraph if you want, but the relevant information should be able to be located easily.
If you'd like to include a short blurb about your character, hitting the major bullet points about who they are, that is often very useful. It also may be a good idea to include information about your availability if you have any peculiar availability issues.
Students can - but are not required to - put up a list of classes, your schedule, your extra-curriculars, your job, and any other information about your character at Fandom High.
Faculty must also list what subjects they are teaching this semester, list office hours and provide links to your course requirements and syllabi. You're also encouraged to keep links to recent classes either in your userinfo or an OCD info post that you keep a handy link to, such as this.
Townies must also state their job and place of employment. Business owners should list their business details, including the name of the business, what services the business offers and opening hours.
One final thing unrelated to user info that we just want to mention right now: We have in the past had players who used the same journals in multiple RPGs. That's fine by us, but since the Fandom High game doesn't acknowledge canon from other games, any posts for other games should be filtered so they aren't viewed from Fandom High journals.
That's all for now, but we'll be throwing more OOC posts at you before the beginning of the semester. You haven't heard the last from us yet. :)
Thank you for your time.
