In-game forums usage

[Captain Jack]

All in-game public boards (national forums, the tavern, global events, etc) are considered IC (in-character) unless stated otherwise.

This means that you are expected to post things related to the game world that have no relation to the real world.

At some forums, you are also required to post like as if your character is speaking. Such places mention this requirement.

For anything that touches real world issues, there are the public board forums you can use instead. Threads like Union of Honor and the Tavern should cover most, if not all IC related things that also blend real world issues.

Here are some examples to understand the usage:

-You have a game idea
Post at Game discussion at the board forums.

-You want to post a general trade ad (ie, bribe cards, pay on cast)
Post at Tavern at board forums, analyzing your plan, the prices that you probably offer and the terms

-You want anyone to provide you with resources (ie workers at a specific port)
Post at in-game tavern

-Your character has something to say for a trade he heard
Post at in-game Tavern forums, preferably roleplaying your character.

-You want help in how to make a trade
Post to Help at the board forums

-You want to declare a war
Use Union of Honor at the board forums

-You want to discuss a war
Use Union of honor at the board forums

-Your character has something to say for the same war
Use in-game Tavern for this, preferably roleplaying your character



I do realize that it might be confusing. Therefore we will try to guide you when needed. With time, things will become clearer for everyone.
