KDS Guidelines and Tips-Please Read

Hello everyone, welcome to the Role Play forum! This is the place for anyone who wants To create/join an original Mass Effect adventure with fellow HTL members.

Please keep in mind a few guidelines for KDS:
-First, Use the Squad Management Terminal. This sub-forum is where all creators/Game Masters should post their ideas a recruit players and where players should look to join games. New threads in the SMT should really just be for proposing a mission, with interested parties replying directly to that thread. All Out of Character (OOC) dialogue should go here, as well.
-The actual RP thread should be placed in the KDS. Meaning, the actual story. Everything else should be in the SMT.
-Character Dossiers should be posted in the Dossier sub-forum. Link to your Dossier in a recruitment thread for convenience. (To obtain a permalink to your specific post, click the post number next to the 'reply' option in the bottom right corner of a post. Just copy and paste!) You can have as many Dossiers as you like, of course; each Dossier should have its own thread. The sticky Dossier thread contains a list of all RPers and their Dossiers.
-Regular HTL guidelines apply. Be nice. Be civil. Be calm. Don't give the staff too much work

And here's some completely optional tips that might help your RP experience go smoothly:
-GMs should clearly explain the set-up of their story and what they expect from other characters in the recruit post.
-Don't rapid post. Usually, it's best to allow two others to post between one of yours. GMs might consider specific rules for this, or even setting a play order.
-Have a fight or some complicated scene coming up? Discuss, discuss, discuss. Direct message or OOC in the SMT, it will save headaches everywhere.

Of course everyone's play style varies, and not all of the above always applies. If anyone has anything they'd like to add, let me know below or in a message!

Oh, almost forgot the most important rule:
Have fun! :3

This one fails to see how having fun could possibly equal the value of 3 exclamation point.

No logical reasoning could even make the string of letters have that value.

While this one humbly disagrees on the merit of three exclamation poitns, this one must also assert that ":3"is in actuality a smiley with a mouth similar to the earth creature know as a "cat."

To piggy-back on the above guidelines, recruits looking to join an RP already in progress should also message the game's GM as well. The GM's for the two current games running are:

Corwin_Havens - Mass Effect: New Genesis
CoyoteLovely - Dragon Age: Eye of Time
