This board is specifically dedicated to in-character rumors, which in Terre d'Ange can be a powerful, if not always accurate, thing. To help the distribution of such things, players will be free to post on this board anything they'd like some assistance spreading around. Beware- anyone who's ever heard or spread gossip knows how messy this can be. Things will not always be accurate, so taking some liberties with details is permitted. Completely changing the rumor is NOT.
1. A person can only post a rumor about their own character. If you're in a group, or even part of a couple (romantic, friendship, or trysting), ask the other people first. If there's a debate, send it to one of us mods (myself, Princess Leyna or Queen Sabrina) This also applies for family secrets (such as the Shahrizai clan or de Courcels). When in doubt, just ask the other people involved. The easiest way to sort out a possible problem is to simply verify.
2. Minor details can be played with, but the original spirit must remain intact. For example, 'Prince Christien is a right bastard," could be overheard as 'Prince Christien is a bastard," which could then in turn make people wonder about his heritage and ask awkward questions. (Note: That's only an example. Christien and Coretta are perfectly certain to be parented by the people they are
3. Let's not get too serious about this. If there's a problem, try to solve it civilly- and if not, come to one of us in charge. Our word, as always, is final- but we do invite explanation as to your point of view.
4. If you want your rumor only able to be known to a certain, limited group, please say so- and such must be followed for a decent amount of time until it has spread so far as to be common knowledge. I know this rule is a little iffy, but fair play should make this pretty clear.
With everyone's help, we can open up a world of intrigue in our little..world..and offer every possible option to people in terms of character interaction. Let's play!
