Hey everyone,

I just have some notes about the news forum to avoid any potential confusion. We created this forum as a replacement for the news ticker of VIII, and linked it to the forum index "news" section.

There's two types of news posts: in-character and out-of-character. Out-of-character news posts are posted as announcements and appear in big yellow letters on the front page. In-character news posts are posted as regular threads and are in a normal light font.

In-character posts give a generally-neutral summary of galactic opinion on an event. Note that I say opinion. The IC news posts sum up what most people think have happened. For example, Fran Ulgo's Death news post places the blame on the Mandalorians, while actually the True Empire is to blame. Most characters would not know the true reason - these instances are usually posted in yellow text (like this) to indicate out-of-character context.

Yellow OOC text is also used in IC news posts to indicate events happening in the game that are virtually unknown by our characters but nonetheless need to be known by players.


Only CMAC members can post news threads, and we try to post the most mainstream news-worthy content, but we're not omniscient. If you think something is news-worthy, please PM one of us.

Thanks, and I hope the system works well for you. :)
