[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 2183128, member: 7006"] Okay guys... opening post is up, and the game has begun! You'll get a small sense of what's going on based on what I wrote... and please feel free to widen and broaden the world that we're creating here. This is a joint writing project... so whatever you guys create will become part of the lore of the ESPION world. Try to follow along with precedents that the others set, but add in whatever color you think would work to help enrich the setting and the game. A couple things so far as posting conventions are concerned: When writing dialogue, please use a single apostrophe, and choose a color for your dialogue to appear in. I will be using [COLOR=Sienna]Sienna[/COLOR] for Donovan St. Claire, and random other colors for NPCs. Please try and make your four colors as distinct from each other and the white regular printed as possible. An example of dialogue should look like this: [COLOR=Sienna]'My name is Donovan St. Claire. Please sit down, sir.'[/COLOR] Any internal thoughts of your character should appear in [I]white italics[/I]. All regular descriptive and narrative writing can remain in standard white text. Feel free to use the quote boxes if you choose to. I will also occasionally use spoiler text, identified for each character. If you have anything you want to say out-of-character, please try to do it at the end of your post, start it with "OOC:" and then write the info out. If you could also color all OOC information in [COLOR=DimGray]DimGray[/COLOR], that would be excellent. Thus it would look like this: [COLOR=DimGray]OOC: This is how out-of-character info should appear in the game thread. However, feel free to also use the Talking The Talk boards for OOC info as well.[/COLOR] Thanx guys! Please let me know what color you are selecting for your dialogue, and ask any other questions you might have! [/QUOTE]
