What is Alternate Realities?
Posted: Fri May 02, 2008 8:54 pm
Alternate Realities (AR) is a nearly rules-free, non-canon forum.
Anything Goes
This is a place to create a character outside of the bounds of the normal setting of Pal Tahrenor and go crazy. You can create alternate versions of your existing characters that behave differently and stick them in places they would never normally be, or create new and extreme characters that might never get approved.
Non-Canon
Remember that what happens in AR is not canon. That means that it is not part of the rest of the world of Thar Shaddin. It's like Las Vegas. What happens in AR stays in AR. You can kill people here and they don't die in the real Thar Shaddin.
Secondary to Real Stories
You may not post in an AR thread if you have any posts pending otherwise. No exceptions. The real RP we do takes priority over this, and if all you wish to do is play in AR you must first tie up your loose ends elsewhere.
If you feel your regular writing is suffering or if you start to feel burned out, you have missed the point of the diversion and should stop stop STOP! If I notice this or receive complaints from another player of an issue like this, I will immediately ask you to stop fake posting and focus on your canon writing.
Wide Open
Unless otherwise noted in the thread, these stories are wide open. No player need ask permission or clear it with the others participating to join. Do not treat this like regular threads, if you intend it to be private you'd better say so.
No Order
There is no such thing as posting order in these threads unless you and the other player(s) have agreed to it. If people are posting faster than you then you chose the wrong game to play in! If you are stressing about it being your "turn" you need to reread this rule.
