1) Don't get fussy if your characters are the subject matter of gossip. Such is the manner of this board, and it's all in good fun. And as much as you want them to be so, your characters are FICTIONAL people. I mean it, I don't want any hard feelings to come out of this column. The minute I sense someone is getting pissy, I will shut this board for good. I am not joking.
2) Rule #1 being said, please keep your gossip in good humor. There are plenty of ways to say something tactfully. IE, instead of "I HEARD I'SLEN WAS SLEEPING WITH TUJAL!" maybe you ought to try, "Now, I'm not certain, but I saw a certain young goldrider slipping into the weyr of a certain Weyrlingmaster late at night." The best thing about Gossip is that people get to make up their own endings to the story.
3) There is no rule about how you post in here. You can do it as yourself--OoC-wise, or you can do it in First-Person as one of your characters. For instance:
Yourself: "I heard it through the grapevine that Panthea had a thing for Jennah, and she's covering it up by being snarky with him!"
Your Character, 1st Person: "Ugh! I am so pissed that Jennah is falling for that fake 'ole Panthea. I'm so much cooler and better!" and at the end, sign their name. In this case: "Love and Smooches, Toya"
(By the way, the owners of the characters I just used in my example, don't be mad at me. *giggles* I'm just chewing the fat. But I do think it is that way. So maybe I'll start the first thread--Memorie).
4) If you post as a first-person character, DO NOT USE SOMEONE ELSE'S. That would be just Godmodding in an OoC fashion.
5) No Player-Knowledge present in Character postings. Just because YOU know something, doesn't mean THEY do. Keep it reasonable, though. Jennah could definitely figure it out when Toya was coming onto him, he didn't need his owner to help him with that.
6) Have fun and play dirty! ^_^ You never know what fun you'll come across in this joint!
