Posting

General

The Mystic Knights aims to be a sim that produces posts to the highest quality possible, and as such insubstantial posts (three liners, barely enough to read to be able to call it a post, etc) will be discarded from post counts and story lines and may be deleted.

Mission Posts

Mission posts should be a minimum of 400 words long - about four or five paragraphs, minimum.

Joint Posts

For players working on a Joint Post with others, it is expected that your responses be of significant length to be of some worth. It will frustrate the other player to no end if your only response to their carefully worked out tag is a one-liner that leaves no room for a response or leaves all the development of the story to the other player. If a player regularly responds in one-liners in Joint Posts, then such posts may be discounted from their posting quotas as not being of enough significance.

Personal Logs

Should be a minimum of 200 words long. That's roughly about three paragraphs, or two if one is of decent size.

Aditional Info

After you've written your post, go back and read through it again. It is almost guaranteed that everyone will have missed something - a spelling error or typo that needs correcting, or the accidental use of a capital letter where it doesn't belong. Taking a couple of minutes to read through the post will ensure that it is going to be legible to other readers; I for one can't stand to read something that is a complete mismatch of capitalized words and incorrectly spelt terms. Additionally, if you read through something and don't think it quite sounds right, chances are it won't sound right to another person either; have a go at re-wording the sentence for better understanding and readability.

When you are closing a post, you should attach a signature to the bottom of it. Although both the email that's sent and the site identify who is making the post, it does not tell the reader what position the poster holds on board the ship. Below are some examples of post signatures. You can achieve the horizontal line (thus separating the signature from the body of the post) with the html tag < hr > (without the space). The following tags can also be used to differentiate your signatures, again without spaces within the tag code itself; < b >Bold Text and < i >Italic Text
