[center]What is the Arc List?
The arc list is a waiting line for people who want to create
arcs and events for other characters to participate in. The
reason behind a waiting list is because Laurentian and Anywhere
Else threads are normally called a Canon Story line. This means
that one event happens at a time and anyone wanting to be an Arc
Host must first be on the List, and they must also wait their
turn.
Why do arcs/stories/events/back stories happen at one at a time?
Why not all at once?
- Time paradox. One of the rules on the forum is that your
character cannot be in multiple places at once at any given
time. (Unless threads are set before or after certain events.)
Please note that such events cannot be too far into the future
as this; if at all possible try to avoid set in the future posts
as no one will know 100% for sure how much a character or place
changes in between.
- Please note that the rule above does not apply to the "What
If?" section. Your character can be in as many different threads
as you like at one time simply because it does not affect the
Canon Story line.
- To avoid confusion. With so many people on the forum and
everyone bringing in new things, it'll cause confusion as to
"This relates to the Arc, how?".
- Common courtesy. Everyone wants a moment to shine for not only
their writing and characters; but it's also very exciting to see
how other people will react to your ideas and situations you
give them. It is considered to be inconsiderate to create an
entirely new arc while there is still one going on at the
moment.
How do I know who's arc is happening when?
Go to the "Arc List " in Arcs and Adventures. Next to the name
of the user it will say ACTIVE.
What is "Down Time"?
Down time is a chance for everyone to recuperate and do
freestyle RP to relax, maybe have fun before our characters face
the next dramatic event.
How do I get on the list?
Ask Bite (owner's account) in any way you can on the forum and I
will add you to the list. The list has unlimited slots and it's
a first-come-first-serve
I have a villain I really want to try out. Can I introduce
him/her? Can I start planning?
Go ahead and introduce your villains, maybe even have them fit
into society and everyone else winds up unsuspecting! Feel free
to plan ahead too! But until it is your turn you cannot do
anything major while there is another arc going on.
What is considered major?
Anything big or significant, such as character go missing,
characters dying, masses threatened, world domination, an
ominous/evil/mysterious force or figure is coming to reek havoc,
going to an entirely new land and have expositions explaining
everything etc etc.will get confusing for those who are not
aware of what will happen in the current arc and there is a
possible chance of de-railing the arc.
I have some deep back story or place of origin about my
character that I would like to introduce, when can I do that?
That really depends on the circumstances, in most cases this can
happen at any time. However, it is a good idea to ask the
current Arc Host if it is okay to let out all this exposition
about your characters if it is going to happen in the middle of
an arc; simply because it might hold the possibility of
derailing the arc or cause confusion as to what is related to
what.
