+ | ==== Starting Roleplay Threads ==== | ||
+ | We suggest before you start your thread, you post your ideas on the roleplay and setting discussion forum so that you can get some feedback on them, and find other characters that may want to participate in your thread. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you post your thread, tag the post with [Open] or [Closed] to let other players know whether it is okay to join without permission (closed threads do not allow others to join without your approval). | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Arbitration === | ||
+ | In the case of conflicts between players, thread RPs are the under the jurisdiction of the faction managers, who can decide whether they want something to be canon or not. In most cases, we should try to be flexible and accept the thread based RPs as having effects on the universe. It's also okay for FMs to have GMs or delegates to help them with this. | ||

+ | - If you're injured, go to Yamataian world or send a distress call to the Star Army of Yamatai. The YSE provides free medical care to anyone. You don't have to be a Yamataian citizen. | ||
