 How do we keep things entertaining for everybody? Imagination, of course! But imagination requires a little care and feeding to thrive, so this guide provides some suggestions for keeping imagination healthy and fun flourishing.
-Since everyone playing here is (hopefully) a mature and reasonable person, feel free to voice any concerns using the **page** or **ooc** command. Unlike the roleplay of little kids, we won't let things get to the point of "Nuh-uh! That's not what happened!". Finally, don't worry if you're roleplaying "right", just try your best to keep things fun for all!

-Every story has a setting that helps establish what is possible and probable. Furscape's setting, for instance, is hard science fiction; players know that if they see [[verboten tech|magic or teleportation]], it must be an illusion or hallucination. On the other hand, it's possible (if highly unlikely!) that members of a previously unknown alien race could show up in the lobby of a capitol building and start tap dancing. (This would require staff review first.)

   * Figure out what's 'normal' for the place and culture you're in. Are the people nearby giving your character funny looks?

 ===== Continuity =====
 Continuity is the flow of the story and what makes this one big unified whole rather than just a collection of independent scenes. Characters' actions have consequences, and the future is affected by the past.
