Ah screw it, bus is late.
1. I think most coordination is done via PM or OOC threads through the forum but we do have a Facebook group and some of us probably prefer other forms of communication. (We're pretty close knit so some of us may even communicate over the phone.)
2. We use bold and italics pretty much as you see them in novels like when a character is shouting or thinking and the reader is listening to his/her thoughts. Other than that we don't really have any preferred formats.
3. Character bios are optional. Around here we prefer to flesh out our characters through role play. The wiki is also an optional thing but I think Mir would like for people to use it as it makes his job as story coordinator easier. He's even volunteered to post the wiki page for people who are unsure how to do it or don't have time.
4. It can move pretty slowly around here, I'll be honest. There aren't much of us left from the golden years, but with the board wide reset we've gotten a bit more active.
5. Post in the OOC or PM the author.
6. Level headed people, no scheming or manipulation here. Except Mir, he's definitely scheming something. Story rules everything here, we're not interested in building a power base and going to war with other members in the community.
7. There is no limit on how many characters you can create. There is one limit, however, and it may be temporary depending how things go. That limit is two Force Sensitives per member. Since we rebooted to the Episode VII universe Force Sensitives are much more rare so the limit is to reflect that.
Best rule of thumb here is if you want to do something but you're not sure how people will react to it just ask.
