Triad Forum

Hello everyone,

Earlier this year, we had a great conversation about rule changes and activity ideas, which included talking about ranks and posting requirements. We've discussed as a council and will be making the following changes:

Backdating: Posts no longer require the designation "backdated." Months will no longer "close" as the timeline moves. Going forward, posts may freely take place any time in the current month(s) or 6 months prior. You may still use flashbacks if you would like, but it is not required. Continue posting your headers with the correct turn in the When line. Posts taking place further than 6 months back would need to be a flashback.

Ranker Steps:
L1 and L2s will remain in place for now. L1s and L2s manage areas within Triad, and encourage plots and writing in their areas. L1 characters should be posted with at least once every 3 OOC months, while members that hold other L2-L4 ranks should be posting at least once every 3 OOC months (but the post can be with any character).

Inactivity Checks:
Council will continue to host periodic roll calls for members to check in. In it, we'll ask what to do with your characters if you don't respond to a future role call.

L1s may reach out to members if Ranker characters haven't been played for an extended period of time. This could end up in the rank being freed for another, a new plotline or character arc, or something entirely new! The end goal is to encourage activity to the level the writer is comfortable with.

Rules Remaining Unchanged:
A member can only play 1 Weyrwoman or 1 Weyrleader at Triad. If they want to apply for another role, their current Weyrwoman or Weyrleader would need to step down.
