Posting Guide

This guide will go over how to post on our Play board!

Fields

1. Character: Enter the name of your character in this field.
   • This field can accept custom stylizing, for example <font color=red size=1>This is small red text</font>.
   • The name can also be lowercase or uppercase and include (or not) a character's title before the name, but adding anything else may prevent the post from linking to their character profile appropriately. Please list only one name (multiple names will break the code).
     • Character's name is "Leona Grace"
       • "Dame Leona Grace" will work
       • "Leona Grace, Dame of Eastbrook" will not work
       • "L'eona G.r.a.c.e" will not work
       • "Dame Leona Grace & George" will not work
2. Subject: Enter a fun tagline, quote, saying, or "other" text here.
   • This field can accept custom text stylizing, for example <font color=red size=1>This is small red text</font>
3. Message: This is where the bulk of your post will go.
   • This field can accept stylized HTML coding including Google Font links and full HTML layouts.
4. Viewer Warnings: Select the appropriate tag(s) from the dropdown menu, if needed.
   • Trigger Warning: Use this tag if your post contains potentially triggering topics/scenes such as bullying, abuse, or manipulation.
     • Make sure to include a brief description of the triggering topic(s) included at the top of your message, before any in-character communication.

5. Primary Location: Select the appropriate location from the dropdown menu, this is required.
   • Current options include: Town, Beach, Forest, Any, or Alternate Universe. Additional options will be added as the in-game country is explored further.
6. To: List your post as available, closed, or for a specific person here. This is not mandatory, but very helpful for appropriately tagging a post on Discord.
   • Any: Any character can reply to this post. Any posts will be pinned on the channel and added to the "Open Posts" tab on the Play board to help you connect with others.
   • To Player: This post is for a specific player, but not necessarily a specific character.
     • Enter the player's name in the "For Who?" (A) textbox. The player's name will be mentioned on the Discord message.
       • If this is the first post in the thread, their name will also be automatically added to the end of your Subject.
   • To Character: This post is for a specific character.
     • Enter the player's name in the "For Who?" (A) textbox. The character's name will be mentioned on the Discord message.
     • If this is the first post in the thread, their name will also be automatically added to the end of your Subject.
   • Solo: This is for private/personal posts and threads where collaboration/response is not desired.
7. Tag a Player: Select a name from the dropdown menu to tag a player. This will ensure they receive a "ping" on Discord; inactive players will not appear on this list.
8. Progression: Use these checkboxes to record if a post includes special progression; you can select multiple options for each post as needed.
   • Season: Use this checkbox if your post is eligible for season progression (what would make a post eligible for this can be found in the season's channel).
   • Character: Use this checkbox if your post includes or mentions the use of your character's magic or nanites.
     • 40 points will be automatically added to the character.
     • Only the character that is listed in the Character field (#1 above) will receive points; if multiple characters are eligible for progression, let us know in your private support channel!
   • Astrofel: Use this checkbox if your post includes or mentions your Astrofel's Affliction.
     • A textbox (B) will appear underneath, enter a comma-separated list of Astrofel who are eligible.
