Idris is becoming more modern!
Happy November!

The posting formats have separated from the Rules & FAQs page! The reason behind this is that the mods would like to introduce instant messaging to the RP.

IC instant messaging:

This is entirely optional, like emails. We would like you guys to please choose an in-character IM screen name for your characters (and please add it to your profile and comment here with it so we can add it to a list somewhere! We haven't decided where yet.) You don't have to use it, but it would be nice to have just in case. It will have to have something to do with your character's name and/or ability, so it will be easy to distinguish. (For example, Viitoria's could be 'queenvii' or anything with Vii, Viitoria, or Dumont in it. Faie and warlocks can't really have their screen name based on ability because they don't have any. Other than that, it's fair game.)

You do not have to actually get the AIM account. IC IMs can work just fine on whatever instant messaging provider that you currently use, just as long as you format your end post accordingly. (You could even email back and forth with someone if you'd like.)

Correct Formatting

For example, should Mei and Lena decide that Alec and Viktor will have a conversation through IM, they can do so through their normal, OOC AIM accounts (or MSN, or Yahoo. It doesn't really matter) and then reformat it when posted to something as such:

Who: Alec & Viktor
When: Monday afternoon
What: Viktor is trying to do work, Alec is procrastinating
Rating: Safe for work

(behind LJ cut)
KingAlec: Hey
FireyVik: Hi
(etc. etc. I'm not feeling very creative right now.)

Important Note:

We would like to note that while IMs are fun, the main point of Idris is threading. Should Mei start seeing an influx of IMs on the IC community and not enough threads, she will start kicking butt. IMs and emails do not count toward activity requirements; only threads do! So be sure not to neglect threading. IM is entirely optional. Threading is not.

Also, if you have more than one IM conversations, emails, and gift giving in one day, even if they are with different characters, please put them in the same post instead of starting different posts for everyone. An example would be:

Who: Alec & Viktor
When: Monday afternoon
What: Viktor is trying to do work, Alec is procrastinating
Rating: Safe for work

(LJ cut for A&V)

Who: Arion & Nira
When: Monday morning
What: Arion has a burning question
Rating: Safe for work

(LJ cut for A&N)

From: Viktor Ludwig <vludwig@idris.edu>
To: Alexander Montague <amontague@idris.edu>
Date: Thurs, July 2nd, 2009
Subject: (Untitled)

(LJ cut for email)

etc. etc. would all go in one post. And all appropriate tags (btw the new tag for IM conversations will be !im) should be tagged.

All that said, have fun! :) And let us know if you have any questions.
