Just to run through some of what I'm thinking of doing, other than the "side by side" initiative. The way I would like to handle posting is this way . . .
If you have something just for one person, i.e. the GM or from the GM that is only to one player, you would put it in a spoiler.
For Everyone:
So if I have information for just one person, I'll put it under a spoiler and say "For Klonsa" for example, or "For Christy and Danguard" if its something more than one person in the party is suppose to know, but not everyone else.
If you have something for me, just preface the spoiler with "For the GM," then post it under the spoiler.
Describing your actions and writing what your character is saying would be done just like normal.
For example:
The General looks at you and say, "look sharp, we're about to load up and start this mission.
The General goes back to looking at the plans on his datapad.
Anything game mechanical should be coded as "ooc," such as explaining what your character is doing in game terms.
For example:
HK-22 begins to move towards his enemies, walking through the wreckage, until he reaches a clearing, at which point he raises his dire sword and charges the first Sith Trooper, bringing his sword down upon him.
HK-22 uses a move action to walk through the difficult terrain, and once he is in the clear, he uses his standard action to charge the Sith Trooper to make a charge attack using his dire sword.
He rolls a 13 + 4 = 17, and if he hits, he does 7 + 3 = 10 damage
For speed purposes, if you are making an attack, go ahead and roll damage, and I'll disappoint you later if you miss . . . ;)
Does all of this make sense/work for everyone?
