I just wanted to gently remind you all of the site rules in regards to Godmodding and making decisions that effect other people's characters.
Please don't Godmod anyone's character without their permission, even if it's something as simple as hand holding. If someone says no, that is their choice and their right to make that decision for their character. Yes, you can do whatever you want with your character but please be courteous to the people you are plotting with. Imagine how you would feel if you have a plot worked out and your RP partner suddenly changed the plan without informing you or discussing it with you? Pretty crappy, right? It might make you feel like a third wheel?
This goes for Want Ads as well. If you make a Want Ad, and someone agrees to take that Want Ad, the original history for the character in the Want Ad is yours but once claimed, everything that happens to that character is not up to you anymore. You cannot make changes to a Want Ad that someone has agreed to take for you.
Ex: I have a Want Ad for Cullen's cousins. The history there is set. They have both been claimed by Nova and Gobby. They now belong to Nova and Gobby. I cannot make decisions for Cullen's cousins anymore because they no longer belong to me. If I want something to happen between Cullen-Kayleigh-Nessa, I have to bring the idea to Nova and Gobby and we will discuss whether it works for all three characters. If I tell Nova that Nessa is going to date Sebastien - that is Godmodding.
Please be courteous of everyone's feelings and make your intentions known to the other players. If you aren't feeling a pairing, be honest. Don't just ignore the thread or stop replying because you don't have the muse or don't want to continue the thread. Talk to your partner. A simple "Hey, I'm really not feeling the chemistry between Dean and Rosie, I think we should scrap this plot" - bad example, I know. But that's all you need and no one will be upset. We're all adults here, after all. And sometimes characters just don't mesh well with the people we want them to mesh with and that's okay but you need to open and honest about it so no one's feelings get hurt.
I'm only bringing this up because I do stalk conversations and I see what is going on. If you have any questions, concerns or need to clarify anything within this message please reach out to me.
Lastly, just remember to keep conversations in the right channels on the discord. If you want to go down an in-character chat we do have the 18+ discord or privately DM each other so others can use the channels for what they are intended. A few comments here or there is okay, but not entire conversations.
Thanks,
Lou <3
Happy plotting!
