Alright! Before we go live, your wise and merciful GMs thought it fit to provide you guys with a post template! See, those of you who have been with us before will remember that this IC can get to a [i]lot[/i] of [i]long[/i] posts [i]real[/i] fast. In our experience of the past three iterations, we've figured out that the following format is the best for making posts easy to read, easy to find, and easy for involved players to be notified of. This format allows people to know exactly which posts require their attention and makes it easier to tell which post belongs to whom when reading through. Alright, here she is: [hr][center][h2]Name[/h2][sub][Title] of [character name] [@"character player"] and [title] of [character name] [@"character player"] Interacting with: [character name] [@"character player"], [character name] [@"character player"], and [character name] [@"character player][/sub][/center] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer venenatis euismod ligula, in tristique nunc congue vitae. Proin sit amet neque sit amet lacus commodo eleifend eu eu massa. Vestibulum viverra tincidunt orci a ullamcorper. Aliquam sit amet venenatis eros, non maximus mi. Aliquam id massa a enim consequat iaculis ac sit amet lacus. Pellentesque vestibulum nulla quis nibh cursus, a ornare diam vestibulum. Proin non vehicula ligula, eget interdum ligula. Suspendisse sodales, risus ac pharetra interdum, justo leo aliquam justo, vel molestie risus urna lacinia lectus. Ut aliquam suscipit risus sit amet suscipit. Maecenas faucibus urna tortor, vel blandit lorem rutrum in. Cras sed elit ligula. Cras egestas risus sagittis tortor consequat gravida. Vestibulum purus massa, tempus sed facilisis et, pharetra vitae nunc. Sed eget nunc nec tortor posuere tincidunt. Ut consequat velit ac venenatis rhoncus. Fusce id consequat libero.

[/hider] [color=orange]GM note: If you've come this far, leave a "laugh" on this post to show me you have read and understood ^_^[/color][/hider] [h3]Please note:[/h3] - I know the code seems squished, but if you add line breaks in editing it'll make your spacing weird. Keeping it compact keeps it easier to read and easier to scroll past when you're looking for a specific post! - Along that same vein, make sure you write your actual post directly below your header code. If you add a line break, the space between the header and the post gets all weirdly stretched out. (I find it helpful to write the post first and the header formatting after) - To format your post with the raw code provided, just replace everything in square brackets "[ ]" with whatever it says to insert there (like names). (Of course you want to keep those square brackets around mentions to they still work, lol) - If you're using colours for your dialogue, feel free to apply the same colour to your header text. Some people even like to put their related characters' names in those characters' colours, (for example, in the post above I could have put Azilon's name in blue instead of Lienna's purple) but that's a lot of work and is definitely not required. - Speaking of colours, you're welcome to use them for dialogue and headers! Just make sure your [i]entire[/i] post isn't coloured, and please note that if a GM deems your choice of colour to be difficult to see, you will be asked to change it. - If you are including multiple different characters' POVs in your post, make sure to separate them with horizontal lines using the code "[ hr ]" (remove spaces) and use the proper header format for each new POV. - Please make sure that, like the example, the body of your post is aligned to the left. - Finally, don't worry about mentioning people multiple times. I tested it, and no matter how many times you mention the same person in a post, it still only goes through once. Alright! If you have read this post and understand, you know what to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me here or on Discord (Discord will be quicker). Now get hype! Today's the day!
