Hiatus Post

Sometimes real life gets in the way of RP, or you just feel burned out and need a break. That's what this post is for!

This is the post where you let the mods know that you're going on hiatus. Just fill out the text box below, and leave it in a comment. Once you've done so, please leave a post in the OoC comm, too, so that the players also know that you're going on hiatus. Remember, a hiatus will not be counted unless it is posted here.

Also remember that if a hiatus extends over one or more activity checks, you will be exempt from one activity check unless you get mod approval.

Event Calendar

This is the event calendar, it gives you a general idea of the upcoming event, the time it will last, and the type of event.

Event Keywords: The following keywords will be applied to events as applicable, they will give you an idea of the scope and type.

Major: A major event is a larger event. It tends to last about a month and has a number of variables coming into play. Major events are designed to involve everyone in the RP, and tend to cause most posts to pertain to them.

Minor: Minor events tend to last for a week or two, they aren't as big and may not be as all-encompassing. Minor events may have limited participation, and they tend to not dominate the conversation.

Mini: Mini-events are events that may take place over a week, or even be scattered over a few days. They are small and more unobtrusive, sometimes even completely in the background and are there for people to post with as they wish without too much structure.

Plot: This keyword means the event will have a large impact on the overarching plot of Planeocracy.

Upcoming Event:

The next event is yet to be announced.

The type of event is yet to be announced.

The event's length is yet to be announced. (We're working on it!)


Event Proposal:

You may, if you wish, propose an event. Note comments are NOT screened, so the proposal will be viewable. If you wish to privately propose a plot, IM or PM the mods.

<b>Name:</b> <b>Canons involved in this plot (if any):</b> <b>Expected length (please use a calendar month to judge, you may use an upcoming month as an example):</b> <b>Event Timeline(map out every major and minor part of this event that would require a mod post or something similar, as well as when it would be occuring):</b> <b>Why should we run this event? (This is where you want to detail how the event will appeal to the interests of the community at-large, and why the mods are needed to run this event instead of you running it yourself via logs.</b>

If you would like to run an event yourself primarily via logs but require mod permission to do so, such as for a plot involving worlds crossing over, then you may make a request to do so by using the above form but omitting the length and timeline, although we encourage you to give us an estimate so if necessary we can tell you when would be a good time to run it so it doesn't run into our events.

World-Blending Plot Proposal:

If you wish to run a plot involving world blending, post your concept here for approval. We may have to reject or alter your request depending on the scope of the plot involved in order to keep it from disrupting our own plans for plots or the general behind-the-scenes concepts the RP is operating on. If you wish to run or even reference such a plot, you MUST post here and ask for approval, while we are likely to accept minor plots we still want to have the last say, as something innocuous could easily set a precedence that we don't want.

All world blending plot proposals should keep the following points in mind:
-World blending is more common amongst similar worlds, as worlds tend to be grouped into their own systems within the multiverse based on their attributes.
-Not all blending involves nonsentient or unaware creatures, a number of times world blending really gets serious because someone in one world realizes what's going on and starts using the new elements to their advantage.
-Blending can involve someone falling through a backdoor gate and ending up in another world.
-While we do allow named NPCs, try to avoid employing appable characters if at all possible. The use of potentially appable characters will be allowed on a case-by-case basis.
-You should try to check with the players in the canon(s) your plot involves, just to make sure everyone's on the same page.
