A few guidelines...
1. If you're not playing (EG if you're not Gojeta, Slythe, Fyrx or Jelathina) please don't join the story though you are free to post Out of Character or send private messages to the players kibbitzing, giving them advice, giving them props or whatever else you might wish to do.
2. Play by Post is not as 'flowing' as face to face roleplay, which has advantages and disadvantages. It means things are slower but it also gives you time to think about what you're doing. It can also cause mix ups during conversations and so on which means I'll need to interpret to an extent. Try and be as descriptive and precise about what you're doing as you can, perhaps try to anticipate ahead to save on posts. If you were questioning someone about something, for example, post all of your questions at once, don't wait to do each in seperate posts.
3. The flow will go something like this... I post, each of you posts (once! Edit if necessary!) once everyone has posted I post again, and so on. If you're going to be away, let us know and we can carry on until you get back as best we can.
4. Try not to 'force' RP. EG, if you were in a battle with some tribesman a good description would be...
"I charge into the lines of the enemy, whirling my Stavon sword around me with both hands and trying to make a break in their lines."
Or...
"I single out their leader, force my way through his guards and swing for his head."
But not...
"I cleave his head off." (Describing an outcome as though it were a certainty.)
5. When it does come to combat, and it will, try and describe your tactics in fairly general terms rather than specific moves. That'll help cut down the number of posts needed.
The next few posts will be posts for my reference. Don't worry about them for the most part
