Flashback Topic Rules

I think we should reintroduce flashback topics in a more loophole free manner, as Flashback Topics helped immensely in forwarding the plot. This is how I propose it should work.

Quote :

• You are allowed to be in 2 Flashback topics, however, said topics must have happened prior to your latest topic, meaning a Flashback cannot be set on the current timeline of your character. Ultimately, you cannot be in a Flashback topic, that happened just before your latest topic.
  
  
• You may not have a Flashback Topic if you have not posted in a real-time topic that is not private

.

By doing this we stop people from not actually existing in the current time, and we also prevent people from being in two topics at once in that they cannot make a Flashback of something that happened recently in their latest real-time post, it has to actually be something that happened a long time ago.

Oh And I also propose an entire forum dedicated to specifically Flashback Topics, separate it from actual IC, but it will be a part of the character's history, and thus they will know or have that experience IC'ly.

This could work as long as we have limits. Like if you obtain something IC like a bijuu then you can't do a flashback, but with an ability that is something set into your character so that can be incorporated into a flashback.

Myself and Fukai have had something similar to this. I agree with this as it stands, but I'd like to make a note that there should be a paradox suppression system.

So are we all in agreement on this?

Yup I'm a thumbs up for it, FBs can be really helpful in keeping people 'happy' =3

I would have to agree. Although two flashbacks? Wouldn't that contradict with a lot of things? I mean, first flashback could happen an hour or so behind the current topic, but two? That's more confusing than a lot.


Flashbacks will keep activity, yet I'm skeptical on what could happen to the second FB.

Im with Zane, 2 Flashbacks complicate things. I say one flashback is all thats needed.

I like Kazumi's idea. o-o

The two fbs are fine as long as we implement Kaelo's idea of the logs. It makes things MUCH easier.

Yet a log just adds on another thing that we have to keep track of and double checking to make sure its done right, im sure we all have enough responsibilities as is. One flashback with posted guidelines keeps it simple and easy to maintain. Thats my opinion...

Idrc to be honest. So it's w.e

We don't need to keep track of the logs. And if we really have to, then I will. ~.~ Nyeh. but Again, like Xinny said. it's w.e I said my part.

Cool, so can an admin add these to the rules?

Actually I am with Dante. I say we allow for once flashback topic per character to make life easier for all. And if we don't make a separate section fro flashbacks then it needs to be required that in the topic header it is stated that the entire topic is a flashback.

Okay so I guess I'll post up the official rule then:

* 1 Flashback Topic Per Character

* Flashback Are To Be Posted In Flashback Section

* Must Be In A Topic Present Time To Be Able To Post A Flashback

* Flashback Time Frames Can't Occur To Close To Present Time Topic. Setting Should Be At
Least 2 Weeks Or More Before Present Time Topic.

* Time Setting Should Be Mentioned At The Beginning Of First Post Of Flashback Topic.

* Avoid Flashbacks That Will Contradict With Your Character Current Time. If you just obtained some power present time, you can't train that power in a flashback. Be logical people please, otherwise your flashback might become void. Flashbacks are meant to fill in gaps between your character's history and current time.

* Flashbacks are considered IC.

Adjustments can be made later after seeing how they handle this bit...

Looks good.

Alright, works for me.

OR we could ban flashbacks all together and not have to worry about another set of rules that no one regulates.

Who the fuck made "land before time" anyway.

LOL
