Just as there are expectations of me as a Narrator to make sure I tell a captivating and enjoyable story for everyone's characters to live in as well as to commit time and effort into this site, there are expectations of you as the players. Because you are playing with other people who's characters can rely heavily on the actions of your character the story for the other players as well as the story that I'm trying to tell rests in your hands almost as much as mine. So if you intend to play, please read the following expectations and make sure you're willing to commit to them before joining. If it turns out you can't and you've already begun to play, don't worry. You're not in trouble. No one is going to fault you for having to drop out due to things happening in life. If things change and you can regularly commit again you are more than welcome to come back.
--48 hour commitment. It'd be best to try and get yourself used to posting at least once a day. If you can do more, that's great! If not, please try not to wait to get on and update each of the threads your character's involved in longer than 48 hours. Other players and myself are relying on timely responses in order for things to progress. This doesn't mean you have to post in every thread that your character is present in every 48 hours if they have nothing to say or their actions aren't necessary to progress in the story. I've had bystander characters before who've just sat and watched, not having anything to really say or do. Though I have posted just a filler post describing my character doing just that, sitting and listening or watching, to let everyone know I was still watching and paying attention, but it's not required.
--Use the Away thread. Let us know if you're going to be away for a bit or something. Business trips, weddings, camping, vacations. All of these things in real life happen and they can throw a kink in our gaming lives. I don't know about you folks but, I have a life. Gaming is a part of my life, but it is not all I live for.
--Adhere to the rules in the Behavior and Courtesy thread.
