Hey everyone, I would like to write a FAQ for our board, to help new people get acclimated and to answer the most common questions we get. What I'm asking is for people to post the questions that they have:
a. asked most often when trying to find out information
or
b. been asked by others and/or new players
Thank you everyone!

Hiiii! So I have a couple questions, hope they're helpful 1. What's the protocol with random events? 2. When should a thread be moved from one location to another? 3. What's an acceptable character adoption frequency? 4. What is the policy regarding pictures in character profiles (size, rating, etc.) ? 5. The Game Hall - who can have access to it? 6. What are the bathhouse policies? Will edit if I can think of more. ^^

I used to own my own board, and my FAQ had questions like this:
What is the board about? What's the story/background that I need to know before I start?
What is the board rated? (Due to...recent events, this is an important question, I think.)
What sort of character types are available for play? Are there any restrictions on what sort of characters can be played? (Some boards I've seen only allow a certain number of X type of character.)
What does a typical post look like?
I've read the FAQ and I can't find an answer to my question. Where can I get more information?

Inspired by Krystal, here's a list of questions from the FAQ of th'other game, which I kind of re-adapted to the board's specifics: Character requests- How many characters am I allowed to bring in the RP?
- Why is it taking so long for you to reply to my request?
- Do I need to create accounts for each of my characters?
- Are there any limitations with regards to character types?
- What do I do if I want to drop a character?
OOC- Who are the mods anyway? Who does what?
- I'm going away for a weekend / a week / a month, what do I do?
Player Etiquette- You keep saying god-modding - what does that mean?
- What do you mean, when you say IC is not OOC?
- What is the procedure if I want to assume a character that isn't mine did something offscreen?
Posting- What sort of writing does RP on this board entail?
- Can my character keep a diary? How does this work?
- If my puppet is doing unmentionables, where do those entries go?
- Is it okay to RP smut?
- Are interactions private, and when do they happen?
- What are tags for anyway? What happens if I don't tag my posts?
- How do we figure out time-lines?
Details about the game world- What's the game world like?
- What's the deal with this in game canon?
- How does my character find handy items?
- What happens when a character dies? Who makes that decision?
- What happens in game when someone drops a character?
PBs and avatars- What's a PB?
- Can I reserve a PB? What happens if two characters have the same PB?
- How do I know who's PB is who?
Plots- Do I have to participate in plot?
- How do I get plot going?
Hope it helps!

-raises hand- Not quite sure if this is related but perhaps a sideboard with links to the getting started page and the like? As well as the FAQ page? XD

A list of helpful links to posts (like the active puppet thread and the avatar thread), that would be awesome. I never remember where they're at! I think they may need to be updated, too. >.>

And sorta continuing on from that, maybe we could have a link to the board timeline (I don't know if it's been updated yet either).

And one more thing that might need clarification: the categories assigned to the characters aren't always clear to me. Like, what's the difference between an aristocrat and a peer of the realm? Categories for marqued adepts, acolytes, priests? How do we define foreign royalty when the ruler's and heir's titles aren't standard (like Doge, Prince, Grand Duke, Ras Ligasu, etc.) ?

I actually started doing up a table of the equivalent ranks. If I finish it I could always link it.
