FYI Common Knowledge
Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2016 10:34 am
This thread is to be used to inform the general membership and guests of the various IC happenings of the JEDI servers. Specifically, this thread should be used to highlight important information that should be obvious IC, but which the game mechanics do not allow for.
For example, if your character has broken a limb and it is wrapped in a cast or a sling, or you have a walking aid. Perhaps there is a lingering smell in the Enclave or a window has been damaged. Something physical that would be plain to see IC which game mechanics does not show.
But additionally, If it can be role-played in-game, always do so. This thread should ONLY be used to highlight physical things that should be obvious in-game and not a place to update on the random happenings of your character.

Greetings members of JEDI,
It has become apparent that players are beginning to frequently post messages inappropriate for the FYI Common Knowledge Thread. We ask all our members to refer to the original post of this topic and be sure that all responses are in line with the guidelines already set out. To reiterate, this thread should ONLY be used to highlight physical things that should be obvious in-game and not a place to update on the random happenings of your character.
To clarify, the FYI does not in anyway exist to help the narrative of a member's character, but instead should be used to let members inform the wider community of elements from the RP that should be blatantly observable in public areas of the Praxeum. This is purely a device to ensure consistency and should be used as sparingly as possible. Everything else should be role-played in-game.
Here are some examples of what we mean:

Here are some examples of what we mean:
- A temporary injury or medical treatment, such as a limp, bruise, cast, etc;
- A temporary change to the temple itself, such as a note, damage to property or an item being removed;
- An OOC clarification, such as retconning something expressed IC or something generally mistaken OOC.
- Your character's puberty is not something that belongs in the FYI thread. Role-play that on the server.
- Your character leaving the temple grounds is not cause for an FYI post, if you can't role-play this out on the server to begin with, then role-play it out when your character returns.
- The Jedi Council
