I've begun to notice something as I have monitored this site, and it hasn't exactly pleased the moderator in me...
The C-Box, I witness, receives more of the role playing than the board itself does. In fact, all players come in automatically in OOC, as if they expect a role play to be going on. I think I either wasn't clear enough in my original rules, OR too much role playing has been going on in the C-Box.
So here is a guide :
CLARIFYING JUST IN CASE I WAS MISUNDERSTOOD :
By playing in the C-Box, I mean, role playing. The C-box is primarily for OOC talking. Like catching up with your fellow player, asking how they're doing, setting up plots, etc. It MAY be used for small crack playing, but make sure you also maintain LOADS of activity on the board itself.
I was alerted by a player that MAYBE my words were mis-understood, and that's why NO ONE has shown up on the C-box in... a long time, orz.
I don't call any one person out, of course -- This is just what myself and Dealer Mod have noticed, so we thought we'd finally make a large notice about this.
THANKS!

So here is a guide :
- You do not need to ENTER the C-Box in OOC. The C-box, unless a role play is going on, is ALREADY OOC.
- You do not have to worry about interrupting someone's little RP -- You may speak without OOC marks EVEN IF SOMEONE IS PLAYING. OOC marks should only be used by players WHO ARE ROLE PLAYING AT THAT GIVEN MOMENT.
- Please respect the fact that some players will want to actually talk and not see the C-box littered in nothing but RP activity. Little things are okay. HUGE PARAGRAPHS? Not okay.
- For LARGE PARAGRAPH 1x1 PLAYING : Take it to Private Chatango Conversation. Don't know how to do this? It's simple -- Click the username of the individual you want to Private-Chat with. Voila.
- Please don't ALWAYS play in the C-Box. It every time I come on, all I see is your character playing, we have a problem. Some people appear to be using the C-Box as their main means of playing, and NOT the board itself.
