Hello DFRP’ians. By now you’re probably aware of the fact that we’re going to be kicking off a brand new shiny plot relatively soon. However, while the final details are being polished off, I’m going to introduce you to one of the key aspects of how we’ll be running the plot; Plot Threads.
Simply put, plot threads are where the plot happens. They’ll pop up over the site as the plot progresses, and their content and outcome will directly affect the plot.
All that is fairly simple, however beyond that there are several additional things to consider with plot threads.
Firstly, plot threads will be given a timeframe for the site. When threads pop up, it will be clear when in the plot timeline they’re happening. Some threads will pop up happening simultaneously to other threads, and in these cases a character can only be present in one of the threads occurring.
Secondly, at some point in the thread, the thread will close, preventing additional members from joining. For some threads this will be after the first post rotation, others might be open longer. Once a thread closes, no new members can join, but members in the thread can leave.
Thirdly, as an incentive to participate in plot threads, we’re offering double posts on plot threads. So for every post you make in the thread, when it ends, you’ll earn another one.
And finally, some plot threads will also allow you to reach higher levels than your post count would indicate. This will be clearly detailed in the thread. Some threads may also have a level cap, preventing members from going higher than a certain level.
If you have any questions, feel free to reply to this thread, and I’ll do my best to clear up any confusion.
Sove away.
