Ok this is how the boards are set up.
Intro section: The first thing you see when you go to the MB that has the "owner" or "head honcho" talkin' to you about what goes on there and so on.
Then theres a banner for something since MB apps are free the disc.server people sell space on the boards and such. Then theres a box that you click on to start a new thread of RPing or instead of starting a new one you can just click on an allready started one and go on from there.
The boxes in which you fill:
Name boxes are on the top followed by the Email which 100% of the time is opptional after that is a subject box like you would find when you compose an email that then is followed by a bigger message box.
Ok people have done alot of different things to seperate their Characters actions from what they say. Just as long as you do something so others now what your doing or saying you will be fine and will have fun RPing. Most however just put * around their actions. EX: *walks in**looks around a bit* Hello is anyone here? (end of EX) You see it really isnt that difficult.
Shortin' Stuff:
OOC - Out Of Character- this is used when the creators just want to talk (or you can put Creator of so and so and fill in your chars name after creator)
IC- In Character- when creator is back into character.
( )- also used for OOC Talk if Creators dont wish to stop RPing to have a convo they will just use them at the bottom of what their char is doing.
N/T- No Text - this is put into the subject box if you do not have anything witten in the message part.
If I find out anymore they will be added.
Well if you go to a discription page that should help you with this one. All I ask is that you dont steal others ideas and if you happen to have a char with the same name as some one else either change the name or have him/her a char in a MB where the other one is not.
