I have questions you have answers

[Drumheller]

This will be my on going place for all my silly questions... other words can be inserted for silly. Some of these will be content related, some of them will be code related. My first three questions are as follows:

1. as far as fonts, what kinds does the BB code here support? Different sites vary on this.
2. What guidelines are there for Wiki submission?
3 I hear a link that says judgement, but don't hear the related hooks and line seqences that comes with a link, does this link still function?
4. Is it possible to run quests that don't involve one's character?
Thanks for your time..

As far as code goes I'll try to lead a quote here with all of the tags and such...hopefully this works. Im going to replace brackets with parenthesis, so if you get confused I apologize.

(B)(/B) For bold text
(I)(/I) For italics
(U)(/U) For underlining
(LEFT)(/LEFT) for align left
(CENTER)(/CENTER) align center
(RIGHT)(/RIGHT) align right
(QUOTE)(/QUOTE) For quoting something
(CODE)(/CODE) Is to wrap another code box around something... No clue what it does.

Again replace the parenthesis with brackets so it would be [ B ] [/ B] (spaces to make more...verbal sense maybe? If you use Skype feel free to add me (Thefollisbros) and I can walk you through it

2. Wiki submissions just need to be as thourough as you care to be. Later down the road we will be implementing a "Canon submission" program which will allow you to make your wiki entries part of actual canon and will be tagged as such. We will have some form of minor rewards for this as well, so you might want to get cracking.

In short, whatever you feel like creating and sharing for others to use!

3. Im assuming that you're looking at the "Submit for judgement link that shows up at the bottom of each post. The link leads directly to this page http://www.althanas.com/world/misc.php?do=form&fid=1

This is where you go to submit a finished thread for a judge to well...judge it. It will prompt you to fill in some info on the thread such as it's name, a link, and what type of judgment you would like. In the future when the time comes and you're having difficulty feel free to ask a staff member for assistance. If your program has a hard time helping you navigate to the link simply send me a private message and I'll assist you with the form!

4. It's a tad bizarre, I think I may have seen one or two such threads before, but most of the time we try to keep to our own characters. I doubt there is a rule saying you absolutely HAVE to use your own character, and if it helps make a more compelling story or tell an important side story feel free to! This site is about having fun with your writing, whether you character is a sentient tank, an aspiring pizza chef, or a man who kills bad guys with wrestling moves! It's your story!

If you have any more questions, or if my answers confused you, please let me know so I can make your experience on this site a more enjoyable one!

That helped, to a certain extent, although the code answer wasn't what I had in mind, perhaps I was unclear. I probably was unclear. No, I know I was unclear. So... I shall test.

[Zook Murnig]

I think Drum is talking about fonts, as in typefaces.

[hoytti]

If that's it then what we have can be found under Font in the bar at the top of the text box. It is a drop down menu kind of thing.

Also, The main place to go for non character threads would be The Nexus in The Outlands

[Alydia Ettermire]

Arial, Arial Black, Arial Narrow, Book Antiqua, Century Gothic, Comic Sans MS, and Courier New are the options.

[Drumheller]

I thank you all for your responses, and especially Alydia, for her conciseness.

[Zook Murnig]

Also, the Nexus is specifically for non-Althanas stories. I've seen several threads that did not star the character on the account that wrote them, and so long as you're not writing in a Battle with another character or trying to write someone else's character, it should be fine.

Just so you know, it's very rare to use the non-standard font here. It generally doesn't look very good. I'm sure there's some style things you can do with it, but it's better to be consistent. It's a bit jarring to see different font, only do it if you're being experimental or practicing some sort of style.

[Drumheller]

How about colors then, is it equally as jarring?
