There will be only 4 players at a time, but also a waiting list of players. If a player does not post within 36 hours of their last post, the GM must remove them from the game and the first person on the waiting list will then start playing. In order for the removed person to reenter the game they must apply for the waiting list again.
I will be the first GM, but there will also be a GM waiting list that must be applied to separately if desired. If the current GM does not post within 36 hours, the next GM will take their place. In order to reenter the game as GM they must apply for the GM list again. Any time a new GM takes over they must create a new OOC Thread and RP Thread, copying the "OP"s and titles exactly. Then, on the old threads include links to both. If a GM takes over that has been GM before, they don't create new threads, but instead link to their previous ones.
A player or GM can announce they they will be on vacation (including the exact time they will be back) and they will be added to the vacation list. A waiting list player/GM will enter the game temporarily until the player returns from vacation. Once the set return time has come the vacationed player/GM will reenter the game, unless they don't post within 12 hours of the set return time. If that happens the temporary waiting list player/GM that took their place will become a permanent player/GM and the vacationed player/GM removed from the game. They can then reapply.
Note: There are no character sheets on the RP Thread, so make sure you gradually reveal what's on yours through role-playing.
Tip: Good stories have conflict and suspense. Some of the best types of conflict are "Character vs. Character," "Character vs. Self," and "Character vs. Society." In order to create suspense, build anticipation for awhile before a twist or big event.
