Topic: Question about the modified group game rules

[Flower]

Hey! I have questions about the below...

All face claims representing characters between 16 and 18 years of age must be fully clothed.

I just had a question about the bolded portion. Does that mean if a character is 18 they need to be fully clothed? Or is that just limited to characters who are 16 or 17?

As a player it is permissible to reuse content, such as characters, from previous games provided that you have altered that content in such a way that makes it distinguishably unique from previous incarnations. This is typically achieved simply by writing a characters story in a way that is fit to the new games narrative.

Does this mean that if a group game closes a writer cannot continue writing with a partner (say someone that they had a romance pairing with) in a solo story? If that is the case, if the writers get permission from the head GM to use their content, would they just need to make a note at the top of the solo thread?

If you would like a board pulled out of archive, the original GM may send a message to a member of Staff regarding their intent.

If a group game was created collaboratively (with two or more people at the helm), how does staff intend to determine retroactively who was the head GM if one of them wishes to revive it?

Thanks in advance for the clarification!

This rule is primarily aimed at 16 and 17 year old characters. Once a character is 18 and over, their face claim can be partially clothed (but must obviously be of an actor or character who is canonically of age themselves).

You are absolutely allowed to take your character(s) and write a solo story with them but if there are major elements of the story that come from a group game (setting or background information) then referencing/linking to it would be the best way to handle it.

We have a list of all those who had GM access as well as knowing who submitted the original request for a big group game board - making them the default head GM. Obviously if there was a hand over during the game's life, and it's referenced in an announcement thread or OOC thread, then sending a link to that along with the request to revive would be very helpful in that instance.
