Alleyverse: Thread Creation

[Nohadon]

Hey Everyone! Just going to post a clear and simple guide to tell how to create threads, why to create threads, and which threads to join. Here we go:

THREAD CREATION:

Creating a thread goes like this. First, Decide what you want the alleyverse thread to be, the main three are: Guild, Location and Discussion:

Guild: Character RP is allowed, but does not always happen. (See threads: TUBA, Canton of Combat, People you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley)

Location: This is specifically an RP thread. Set in one location. If someone posts in character in a location thread. They can't post with the same character in another location thread without first leaving the location, characters can't be in two places at once. (See threads: Waystop, Devaan's training ground, Tomb of the forgotten)

Discussion: There is NO RP CHARACTER RP in these threads. (See threads: Alleyverse characters, Alleymemes)

Now you know the main three thread types, here's how you make them:

A GUILD thread is made by creating the thread, choosing the title (usually the name of the guild) and tagging the thread with the "guild" tag. You then type out the introduction post (usually a summary of the guild, and how to join) and letting others join the guild! Pretty simple!

A LOCATION thread is a little more complex. First, create the thread, then title it what the place is called (EG: Elendel Basin) and tag it with these tags:

First, tag it with "RP"

Then, tag it with "Location"

Then, tag it with whatever era the location is in. At the time of this post that would be "era 2"

Then, tag it with it's plot relevancy. One of three: "Main plot", "Side Plot", or Character development "CD"

Then make a post with your character (or an NPC that you have written for the location) and give a brief overview of the location.

A DISCUSSION thread isn't that hard. all you have to do is title it, then tag it with "discussion" and "OOC" (Out of character). Then post an overview of the thread, and discuss!

 

JOINING A THREAD:

Joining a guild thread works by simply talking with people either in or out of character. Joining a location thread involves having your character exit the previous location thread, then arrive on the thread. Joining a discussion thread is just by discussing with people. On the thread. thats it.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

I would like anyone who has made existing threads to tag them with this criteria, it will help differentiate the threads. if anyone has any questions, comments or concerns, just post here and I'll respond ASAP.

Thanks a lot for that!
I think that will help to keep the threads sorted in the the future.

Might merge this with one of the other guides eventually but pinned for now.
