Topic: ((OOC Quantum Leap: How to Play Along))

What would happen if parts of RhyDin were sent back in time" What would happen if our characters were sent back in time" What if time reversed and people and places that have been long gone suddenly existed in the present"

That is what the Quantum Leap storyline is about.

— The Premise

Leap Day 2016 takes place on February 29th. On that special day, which does not normally exist in other years, a time fluctuation will hit RhyDin for a full week. The flux will begin at 12:01am on Monday, February 29th and last until Sunday, March 6th at 11:59pm.

The time flux will send parts of the city and characters back in time anywhere from one day to fifteen years.

— How can I play along"

I have tried to make this SL as open as possible so that everyone can play along (or not play along) in any way that they wish. The intention is two-fold: A) Provide something interesting for those currently active in the community to play into

B) Provide a way/reason for those who have not been active for any length of time to bring their characters back into play for a few days if they would like to

I hope that everyone can join the SL in their own way. Here are some suggestions: 1) You can play your character as they used to be in the past.

2) You can bring old characters that you no longer play back into the room for the week.

3) You can write story posts involving old characters or NPCs that you no longer play.

4) You can use settings that may no longer exist. Marketplace stalls that have been obliterated for example!

5) You can reach out to your friends and encourage them to bring back their characters for a week.

6) You can just show up and play at some of the planned events for the week.

7) You can pretend none of this has ever happened.

If you have questions on what is okay and what is not, feel free to PM me.

— What can't I do?

While this SL is open, I am asking my fellow players not to do several things:

1) Please do not solve the issue that the SL has brought about. Do not fix the time flux. By doing so, you are limiting the opportunities of others to play along in this SL. There will be an eventual resolution to this problem. You only control your characters and your setting; you do not control the entire SL.

2) I have given everyone a fair amount of OOC knowledge about what is going on during this SL including prior knowledge that it is going to happen. Do not have your character magically know all the things that you know. Your character should not know that this is all going to take place before February 29th.

— Final Comments

I would really like for everyone to have fun with this and use it as a means to further their own character or just have a good time.

Yes, I am giving everyone a lot of prior knowledge of this SL. There is a reason this is being done. I want people to be able to participate to the full extent they would like to, giving them enough time to plan, post, and play out the ideas that they think up.

If you are writing posts related to this SL in your own folder, please share links to the posts to this thread.

Again, any comments or questions can be directed in PM to me.

Game on!
