A Scene is typically defined as one hour of game time. In a play by post setting, this is reflected by a single thread. These are the specific rules for how we handle Scenes and keep continuity from getting snarled.
- Some venues have restrictions on how characters participate in Scenes -- refer to their individual House Rules articles.

Types
Regular / Standard
This is a public or private Scene which is not a Sticky thread.
- Scenes 'happen' when the thread closes/Scene ends
Sticky / Event
This is a Scene which is typically mandatory attendance (Court, etc.), an event/party that people might want to attend, or a thread/plot that will take longer than normal (combat involved, etc).
- Your character can be in multiple Stickies with ST permission
- Stickies 'happen' on the day the thread begins
Chat
These are Scenes done in real-time in the Chat rooms.
- Chat Scenes should be logged and posted
- No 'cybering'
- Private Crossover Scenes (involving two different splats) require (all) ST approval
- Please refrain from talking about inflammatory topics or topics that may lead to arguments. For example:
- The Validity of other games / sites.
- Politics
- Religion
- Any recruiting for IC organizations, such as Covenants or Courts, need to be done In Character.
- Recruiting for other PbP sites is absolutely prohibited.
Private Message
These Scenes are typically between two characters with positions and in-character responsibilities, allowing for character development and so that other characters don't get 'stuck' waiting.
- PM Scenes require (all) ST approval
- PM Scenes should be logged and posted
Communications
These threads are typically phone calls, text messages, emails, or letters.
- Comms happen in real time; once posted, the message is sent/delivered
- If there is a question of continuity, the originator's time-line supersedes the recipient's
Social Groups
These are private forums which contain Scenes visible only to the member of the group.
- Group creation requires ST approval
- Adult content is allowed if mutually agreeable to all group members
Limits
The total concurrent Scene counts a character can be in are limited. This helps with pacing as the limitation will enforce a sense of urgency, as well as being a more realistic representation of what a character can accomplish. Yes, decisions will have to be made. Availability will have to be managed. Do you really need to attend that Covenant meeting? Scene limit totals includes venue and faction meetings.
