*Amended Borrowing Rules - if people aren't happy with the way things are worded let me know. If everyone thinks it's OK I'll get the official version altered.*
Emergency Role Playing and Borrowing
Everyone has the right to say that someone's character finishes a conversation or completes an action if the owner suddenly disappears and their absence is holding up a role playing plot. Real life often throws up the unexpected such as a computer going wrong or a neighbourhood having a power cut etc. The aim of Emergency Role Playing is to shuffle the character or characters concerned into the background or say they follow everyone else to a new location etc. so the plot can continue with the remaining characters.
Mentioning somebody else's character in passing in a mini fic is also permitted as in these examples -
X sent a photograph to Ciannwn for inclusion in the Chronicles
Y sent a report about the malfunctioning door to Jimmy and the hive maintenance tech said he'd see to it as soon as possible.
Borrowing means fully role playing someone else's character, making him/her a central character in a mini fic or saying that he /she performed a lot of actions offstage.
The rest of the Borrowing rules could still apply.
I've joined and it allowed me to use my username. Also agree with the emergency borrowing and role-playing rules ^^ as well.
I don't mind chatting to myself
Spoiler:
I do that in RL most of the time anyway it's the only way, when I'm not on here, of having a decent intellegent conversation
So I don't think it'll die whilst there is still one person posting, yes a sequenced scenario might be impossible but with a drop-in scenario (like the COH) it doesn't matter if the conversation bounces around or there is only one post every few hours or days.

Thank you to Icarium for allowing me to use the above image.

It will be a lot easier for people now that DS, IV and I have moved our dig to another role playing thread.

I mightn't be able to update the actual rules tomorrow. We're getting two chests of drawers and a bookcase exchanged for a wardrobe and a desk.. I'll be spending some of my time doing thrilling things like putting clothes away and deciding what other stuff goes where.
I'm still here And now thw other RP threads aren't all going to have long plots I think I'll be able to cope My cold's gone too! *boogies*
Sounds good Pity about the lag, but I suppose that's to be expected with a free forum. Just a question: if we join up there what's going to happen to WWA on here?
I agree that it's more a case of HOW we continue. There will always be some element here as long as the members come by. Even if we just end up with OOC, COH and the Planet it's better than nothing.
Good to hear your cold is gone. Wraithy snuggles are a good cure for colds.
WWA will still stay on GW but the new forum gives us opportunity to chat more thoroughly about OTs.
Goodnight everyone, I will be at work tomorrow if we're not going to get snowed in, it has been snowing all day again.
Tommy and Rhys: We're going to keep you warm no matter how long it snows.

We carry on as normal here. The WWA forum is to make the socialising side of things easier. It isn't easy to discuss things like our favourite movies or what books we're reading in OOC because everything gets lost when we're having game discussions too. If we make topics for these things on the other forum it won't matter about time zones - Geeky, for example, could add a post to a social chat topic after we've all gone to bed and we can reply to her when we get on ourselves. She can then see our replies easily without having to sort through a lot of Game Discussion posts.
And yes, I'm totally getting one of those t-shirts when I can A 'true wraith nerd <3', as my friend puts it. I must get mum browsing it, there's some good SG-1 things too.
