Board Reorganization
« on: October 29, 2013, 10:53:16 AM »

With the Clans a'coming it was high time to reorganize and clean up the boards. One of the things that has caused some issue is the mixing of non-RP and RP posts, topics, etc. It can be confusing and it can cause problems. To fix the problem we're gonna try something a little different...

We now have three Player-only boards and an open board:

The Sphere
is for mixed non & in-character, roleplay for Inner Sphere players and characters. (Try to specify OOC for non-character posts or replies to keep the discussion easy to follow.) 

The Homeworlds is for mixed non & in-character, roleplay for Clan players and characters. (Try to specify OOC for non-character posts or replies to keep the discussion easy to follow.)

The Kapteyn Universe Board (this one) is for all game related discussion. This is a non-roleplay discussion board.

There is one other minor child board for the Grand Council. Separation of this board is intentional, as the Grand Council is restricted to only the most important issues and votes. RP only.

Regular forum members will be able to view the player boards, but they will not be able to respond. Again, this is intentional. We'll try to create open topics on the main board so everyone can participate without interfering with the RP elements of the game.

Questions, rants or concerns? Fire away.

Also, if you're a player of the KU and can't access the aforementioned boards, let me know. I think I've sorted most of you out, but you never know...

My only request is that for now, the all Clan boards remain player only, as I don't want hints of what the Clans plan or what is happening behind the scene leaked out before the Clan Field Manuals come out.

As to in charecter comments.  Just put them in italics.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

They are player only, but is italics good enough? Should we use a color instead? Your call. I'd just like to see some consistency so we can avoid some of the problems we've hit in the past.

We can use a color if people feel it's useful, but let's keep it to one color and not make it a Benetton ad.
