Friends only

For the time being, School Days is "friends only," in that only plurk friends of Marie ([plurk.com profile] entrepreromance) can app. This is mostly so I can get a feel for the game in its early months with a playerbase I personally know. However, I won't 100% gurantee that I'll be absolutely allowing invitations in the future either—I may open invites after a few months, I may wait six months, I may even keep it permanently friends only, who knows! So please don't hold me to any expectations. My priority is keeping the game a manageable size and a familiar place, in favor of modding for players I know.

Activity

AC is 50 comments a month comprised of at least 2 threads (1 with a club member and 1 with a roommate.) Please see the AC page for further information.

Communication

As with every other DWRP, communication is important. Joining the discord is a requirement, and while you aren't required to be an active participant or anything, it can become a big problem if you frequently disregard pings or ignore the server in its entirety. The most important part is making sure to keep people in the loop as needed—if you think your character's actions will affect their CR, give the head's up.

Be respectful and considerate

Everyone should know this by now. Respect other players and their boundaries! Please also respect the mods and gamerunners!

Player issues

If you have a personal conflict with another player, I do expect you to at least try and navigate that yourself first. But, say you do end up in a situation that should be handled by the mod; you're sharing a club with someone who disappears for the rest of the month once they get their AC—or you have a roommate who can't thread anything outside of their ship. In cases like these, yes, PLEASE bring it to my attention. If you ever think "eh, Marie probably already knows about this so I won't bring it up," PLEASE ASSUME I DON'T and poke me anyway. As a mod I can check to make sure things are alright.

R-18 must go off-comm

Though every player here is older than 18, and the comm itself is locked from public view, threads that head into explicit R-18 territory must be moved to a journal.

Mod is God

I'M SORRY, IT'S JUST FOR THE JOKE, "mod" and "god" rhyme, so—anyway, Marie's word is final! And, much like another (potato) tyrant out there, while I welcome ANY and ALL suggestions, I will ultimately run this game the way my heart yearns at the end of the day.

FAQ
This is still very much a WIP, so for the time being questions aren't organized in any particular order.

(YOU'RE WELCOME TO COMMENT WITH QUESTIONS THOUGH!!)

?
What is the OOC:IC day ratio?

1 IC day will last about 3 OOC days. It's always encouraged to keep time moving forward, but I'll frown at you if you're trying to push time any faster than this ratio.

?
Can I make my own posts/mingles and progress time?

YES ABSOLUTELY AND PLEASE. Weather is variable, and sometimes weird things can happen! I'll try someday to make an inspiration post that people can refer to for mingle/post ideas.

?
Can I swap my character for another?

Characters cannot be swapped out for another character in the midst of a month. The sole exception is swapping out a character who only just got placed at the start of the month. If it's only been a few days and you want to swap them out for someone else real quick, you can fire off an email to the mods about it, so long as it's done with the understanding that this character, too, still arrived at the same time as the other new arrivals ICly.

?
What if my character doesn't need sleep, or is incapable of sleeping?

If they didn't/couldn't sleep before, their newly recreated bodies now require rest like everyone else.

?
Are there other people (non-characters) living here?

Yes! The town is populated with citizens, the stores are staffed, and the school has teachers and other students. If you need to use any as props for your threads, go for it.

?
Is this the afterlife? Is my character technically still dead?

Nope, this is not the afterlife or a purgatory. Your character is very much alive in this whole other world.
