Great. Are we up for a trial thread then? bsn.boards.net/post/193821/threadI'm looking for someone experienced to take the lead. We have a disowned Volus, Sally the Wanton Salarian, and Bob the Hanar, I assume? Do we need any more characters? Anything else to sort out? Setting: Does Omega's Afterlife during ME2 work?

If this was a Dragon Age RP I would've taken the lead. But if people aren't willing to do the Mass Effect RP then I could do it, but ask others first.

Even though its like a test thread will we be using characters we intend to use for the real thing or just like joke/test characters???  Also I know that Omega is a bad bad place and someone called Aria rules over it... anything else I should know??? (I dont mind spoilers... at all... I care a lot less about mass effect than I do dragon age  )

It serves as a reminder that it's their turn. Speaking of which another rule is that the poster has a week to respond (HOWEVER this rule should be softly enforced to acknowledge the fact that the poster may have real life things that they may be in the way.)

Since its an open thread, others can pitch in RIGHT NOW, but once the 'roster' is full everyone that is in has to take turns as indicated by the tag. It's probably good form to discuss with the owner of the thread (the first poster) how the new character can fit in, instead of just barging in unexpectedly. Posters in the thread only post when its their turn. Others cannot post in the thread at all. OOC posts by others should be removed by the mods, if thats ok? ONLY post in character inside story threads unless you use the [OOC - ] convention. I'd like to note, the thread title should be like a book title or whatever, not 'Omega 2154' because there could be several threads taking place in Omega in that year. For instance if I has created Sal's thread I'd call it "Chasing the Stars - [Sally, smilesja, Sofajockey]" or some other name that made sense for the story. Note the player nams, I couldnt remember your character names, but that's what should be there. God modding is setting up an encounter, like 5 bandits ambush the party, and then your character takes them all out, to look badass, without others having a chance to react. If there is a combat or some other more talky encounter, the others with you should be able to react to it in some way.

Which is why it is recommended that the group should plan battles first before executing to avoid god modding That's a good idea when possible. But the thread starter is the GM so to speak, he/she can design an encounter and introduce it to the players, but has to make sure everyone can have enough to do. If there are three players, make six enemies, so two each, or whatever. The group can discuss strategy in character if they know an encounter is coming up. But yes, its everyones responsibility to make sure they are not god modding. Extra discussion, in a PM maybe, is good.

So is this a serious rp??? The Sally the Salarian thread is just to demonstrate how it's done! That said, I'm already expecting two more participants! That should be it though. Five players is the most I've dealt with in one thread.

So, the Volus has joined smilesja and Space Cowboy  How do we know if anyone is joining in on this tutorial? Is it the OP that decides? Should each roleplay thread be accompanied by a discussion thread? eg : Chasing the Stars [Sally the Salarian] Discussion Or is the point that the thread should play out 'seamlessly' with discussion by PM?

I prefer a PM thread but for tutorial purposes a public discussion thread would work too. Dragon Racer sent me a PM expressing interest and Laughing man said in this thread he's making a character for it! So that'll be five, which I think is plenty for a thread. I may post as Sally again, let Smiles and Sofa respond and then wait for the others.. kind of to show that some time has passed before they show up.
