Also, would be cool if people could write up what their character looks like, beforehand, so the descing in chargen would go faster. If you think it'll take you a while to think up a name, you can do that now too.
Useful Holotrek stuff, part 1, emoting:
Most poses you will make are going to be emotes, typically about 4 lines long, though there is no minimum or maximum. Ning in particular wanted to let you know that she doesn't care if you all do one-liners all the time, so just go with what you feel comfortable with.
Full column (:, or @emote) is the command that works like /me on IRC. I was to write ":slaps darki around a bit with a large trout" the output would read "Lieutenant Mir slaps darki around a bit with a large trout".
@emit will let you write the whole output yourself, without even putting your title in the beginning. That way, "@emit the tomatoes in the room smell tasty" would output "The tomatoes in the room smell tasty."
Say is the command for saying stuff, it is the most limited and quick way to say stuff. "say I like this" would output "Lieutenant Mir says, 'I like this'". This is most useful in hectic situations, like ship combat, rarely used otherwise.
All in all, a typical scene will go like this:
One person is already in a room. Another one arrives. 1st person writes a pose that describes what is going on in the room, without reacting to the arrival. 2nd person reads the pose, sees what is going on and joins in. They tend to take turns from there, but that's not fixed either, just go with what you feel is right. The key to posting quick, long poses is starting to write them as soon as your previous one is sent. Start with generic stuff, then just add reactions and such once the other player has sent their pose and you can read it. This way you don't have to wait, either, but can be typing all the time.
