Heads Up! This is an ever evolving topic that will get added onto as more questions and considerations arise!
You may be wondering to yourself "what the fuck is a forum?" or "is this what old people use?" and the answer is this: a forum is a virtual place in which one can post topics and make comments in response to facilitate discussion. In the scope of an RP community, it is one way in which a story can be advanced among one or more players, weaving a beautiful story together.
In the case of Sparkalia, the region uses a this forums site to help keep track of RP whether it is planning one out or making IC posts itself.
What is an IC Post?
An IC Post, or In Character Post, is one written directly in the viewpoint of someone within the canon of the world the RP takes place in. It advances the plot of a story in a wider canon. In the RP Forum of Sparkalia, IC Topics & Threads contain only this category of a post. These are posted to the regional message board as well as the roleplay forum board.
