A few quick words about formatting:
All posts will be considered to be in character unless noted otherwise. All speech should be in "quotation marks" and all thoughts should be italicized. You may use colors, if you wish, just make sure that you choose a color that will be fairly easy to read off a black background.
If your characters run across something in a foreign language, I will note it like this: [Language] - "spoiler text" (The spoiler text will be invisible unless highlighted, of course. Any characters who speak the appropriate language or are under the effects of an appropriate spell may highlight and read the text--others should ignore it.) Use the same technique if you wish to have your character say something in any language other than Common.
I'll also use spoiler text for messages that are intended for one or two characters only, generally in relation to skill checks. Same format as the language thing: [Character] - "spoiler text"
Here's some examples:
The frost giant looks at you, grimaces, and says [Giant] -
The strange purple lightning dances up and down the sail lines, terrifying the crew. [Karthak] -

"Knowledge (arcana): you believe that the lightning is, in fact, a harmless non-magical display."
