In order to give the game a consistent feel I have decided to split in character (IC) posts and out of character (OOC) posts. The game discussion group (which is searchable, archived, etc.) will hold all IC posts.

OOC posts should be made to a special mailing list which is for the specific use of the players. The mailing list traffic will not be made public.

Staying "In Character"
When posting to the game discussion group please remain in character at all times. The character doesn't know who the players are, and there is a good chance the reader doesn't either so don't make any non-game references. And please don't conduct in-game, player discussions in the game discussion group. The OOC mailing list should be used for this purpose.

The Background
You should make a point of describing, in detail, the actions your character is making. Your posts should take into account the characters surroundings at the time of their action. For example: It's all very well to spray a room with bullets, but were there any other characters already standing in it at the time? How does the character deal with it?
