-	With all of the Social Threads being made in the Social Sub-Forums your Edge of Darkness Staff have decided to take things one step further. We're opening up the City Shards Sub-Forum to allow Open Social Scenes for characters of all the main venues. So if you want your Werewolf to meet my Mage, that can now happen!	+	Unless an ST is running a plot Shards are social Scenes.
-	But before you Supernatural Avenger Team Up fans get too excited, we're going to have some main rules.
-	=Rules for City Shards=	+	==No Reveals==
-	* Any scenes within the City Shards Sub-Forum will be for purely social purposes only.	+	This includes tossing around powers.
-	* Which means: No Reveals of any kind and no tossing powers about (even benign ones.) That goes for you Daeva's :P	+	Exception(s) are Hardening Masks and Obfuscate 2. Vampires are expected to Blush.
-	::* The only exceptions to this are Mask of Tranquility, Hardening Masks and Obfuscate 2. Vampires are expected to Blush.	+
-	The purpose of this change is to allow for a greater sense of sandbox game-play and for a wider variety of interaction between characters. The scenes within this forum will not be Storyteller driven but they will be Moderated. If any rules are broken penalties will be levied. So please, keep things on the level and on the stuff that should be on the down low, down low. There's very good reasons why each Splat has rules protecting their secrets.	+	==Open Scenes, Public Locations==
		+	All threads in the City Shards Forum are to be open scenes and publicly accessible locations. These may lead to private Scenes, which should be approved by the participating venue's HSTs for PM or Social Group Scenes.
		+	If the location is one of our player owned Sites, please do not take liberties; i.e. claiming an entire banquet room of another player's restaurant.
		+	If it is NOT a Site, then the Scene needs to be at a completely neutral location. Not a location where one character works, etc. This keep the Scene neutral and no one derives a benefit which they haven't paid for.
		+	Werewolves should be aware of what territory the scene is taking place in. If it is in another pack's territory you are trespassing, unless you have gotten permission in advance.
-	==Scene Rules==	+	==Participation==
-	Right now, with this being a new idea, we do have a few other rules.	+	The scenes will enter continuity when they complete - just like other non-sticky's.
		+	Your character may be a total of 2 City Shards at the same time.
		+	Shards will last one month so that they may enter continuity. Expect the threads to be closed at the end of the month.
		+	When posting a scene please specify a time of day. If a time is not specified and a vampire shows up it is assumed to be after dark.
		+	No crossover influence is allowed, including exposing political rivals, venue-specific 'gifts', or discussion of plots.
		+	Please play in your chosen venue for six month before opening a Shard. You're still welcome to enter ones other players have created.
		+	Characters must be recognized by their venue's hierarchy, or in the process of being recognized, to participate. Shards aren't an outlet for Lone Wolves.
		+	Shards can be used for mentoring (teaching Fighting Styles, etc), but only if both venues follow the same restrictions for gaining such.

		+	Side threads similar to Court/Consilium/etc. are allowed, preferably after a minimum of five characters have entered the scene.
		+	Please don't skip over people. Everyone is waiting for their turn to post.
-	* All threads in the City Shards Forum are to be Open scenes. This is not the place for private Arrow or Carthian get together. If you want to do a Private Cross Splat scene it still needs to be approved by a ST from both venues. For example, if I want to do a private scene between Spartan and Chantay Jones, I need permission from both a Werewolf ST and a Changeling ST.	+	If you have any questions, please reach out to a member of the Edge of Darkness Staff.

-	* Your character may be a total of 2 City Shards at the same time.	+
-	* All Public Locations are available for scenes in this Sub-Forum. But please remain respectful of the intended tone and purpose of the location you use. Spartan would never allow a dinner party at the Forge and Written in Water would never host a Rave.	+
-	* When posting a scene please specify a time of day. If a time is not specified and a vampire shows up it is assumed to be after dark.	+
-	* Vampire PC's '''MUST''' be Acknowledged before they can enter a City Shard scene.	+
-	* Side Venue and Hungry Streets Characters are not eligible to be in City Shard scenes.	+

-	Doing a scene or using a Site owned by another PC is fine, welcome, and encouraged. But please get that player's permission if you wish to do anything more than a normal patron.	+

-	So if you want to go to Gypsy's or the Avalon and be a patron or meet up with some friends please do so. But if your going to do anything beyond being a normal patron please check with the owner of the site, either IC or OOC. So if you want to go to [[Ballo Della Notte]] and see a show, by all means, but if you want to put on a show there or something of that effect, you need to check with Myah Torsione,[[Twist]] IC or [[deltadream]] OOC.	+

Open Scenes, Public Locations

All threads in the City Shards Forum are to be open scenes and publicly accessible locations. These may lead to private Scenes, which should be approved by the participating venue's HSTs for PM or Social Group Scenes. If the location is one of our player owned Sites, please do not take liberties; i.e. claiming an entire banquet room of another player's restaurant. If it is NOT a Site, then the Scene needs to be at a completely neutral location. Not a location where one character works, etc. This keep the Scene neutral and no one derives a benefit which they haven't paid for. Werewolves should be aware of what territory the scene is taking place in. If it is in another pack's territory you are trespassing, unless you have gotten permission in advance.

If a time is not specified and a vampire shows up it is assumed to be after dark. No crossover influence is allowed, including exposing political rivals, venue-specific 'gifts', or discussion of plots. Please play in your chosen venue for six month before opening a Shard. You're still welcome to enter ones other players have created. Characters must be recognized by their venue's hierarchy, or in the process of being recognized, to participate. Shards aren't an outlet for Lone Wolves. Shards can be used for mentoring (teaching Fighting Styles, etc), but only if both venues follow the same restrictions for gaining such. You must have a 'real' avatar/playby. No anime, art, etc. Side threads similar to Court/Consilium/etc. are allowed, preferably after a minimum of five characters have entered the scene.
