There isn't one! As all players in the game are free to choose what they do and do not want to participate in or acknowledge, players can bring characters in to do whatever they want, serious or cracky.

All that is required is that players follow the adding process when joining, adding new characters, and adding new "worlds" so that the mod can keep track of players and characters.

Yes and yes! While Laterally is not a typical public game, it is public.

New players and new "world" concepts (a.k.a. games, storylines, realities, continuities, etc) are more than welcome. The only thing asked of you is that anyone pointed in this direction be capable of behaving in a mannerly fashion OOC, as players who act like asshats are not welcome.

Yes and no.

Think of the mods as mostly maintainers, here to keep various lists updated, add journals to the communities and perform other tech minutiae so players can play, including said mods.

The mods are not here to settle OOC problems, mediate issues, handhold through plots, wrangle badly behaved players or any other typical mod task. Self-mod and there will never have to be a temporary shift from maintainer to "typical" mod to hand out any bannings.

laterally is the community to which logs, threads and narratives are posted.

Tags exist for each world and the characters involved in them. Please tag with both the world tag (!world name) and the character tag ([world number] character name) when posting.

laterallyooc is used to introduce new characters/players, plot, do character development memes and other OOC communication.

journals for each character are used for all other play, such as journal entries, message boards, phone calls, texts, emails, instant messenger logs, popular media site communications (Twitter, LiveJournal, etc) and more. Exception: If multiple character journals used within a world are also being used outside of Laterally for whatever reason, content that would go in those journals can be posted to laterallycomm.
