ANNOUNCEMENT- The DC Digest
This is an announcement about the creation of a new feature here at DC, "The Manhattan Digest". One of the survivor NPCs, a journalist by the name of Anette Bennington, has decided that the diverse population of Manhattan needs a weekly newsletter in order to keep track of all the chaos going on in the city every week.
The Digest will take the form of an in-character classifieds section published every real-time Thursday on the message board community. Any character residing in Manhattan can use the digest email dcdigest@gmail.com, to send in a classified ad to be posted. On the digest post, other characters can respond to the ads-- a great way to set up threads. Maybe your character has a plot idea that they need some assistance in carrying out? Or maybe your characters are looking for a date, a sparring partner, the man they're trying to murder, the ingredients to a cheeseburger? What can these ads be about? Same as a real classifieds section, just about anything your characters might be looking for!
Here are a few examples of ads that your characters might send in.
REWARD OFFERED! WANTED IMMEDIATELY:
Coffee beans. Roasted or unroasted acceptable, unground preferred. But a desperate man can't sip too pickily, can he?
Direct inquiries and questions to Diego Armando. cafedeinfierno
BIOLOGY COMMITTEE
Seeking Manhattanites interested in forming a biology committee for meeting re: parasite crabs and what we've found out. All specializations welcome. Beautiful single ladies especially welcome.
Contact Luis Sera notlewis if interested.
TO THE WOMAN OF MY DREAMS
You were wearing a red cocktail dress, your ebony hair pinned perfectly at the back of your head. I was the black-haired man in the vest on the other side of the bar. I admired your beautiful figure the length of your stay and would love to schedule an evening alone with you, just the two of us, if you were interested in seeing my... research. Don't leave me hanging, baby!
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DIGEST
- What is okay to send in to the digest?
As stated above, absolutely anything your character might want. Think of a real life classifieds section and go crazy. Here are a few ideas, though feel utterly free to expand on them:
= Personal ads
= Help Wanteds (especially if you're looking for some ideas for threads.)
= Ads for goods and services
= Lost/Founds
= etc, etc, etc...
- What is NOT okay to send in to the digest?
Anything that would not be okay to post on the main communities-- extremely explicit material (violence or sex), anything that you don't want the entire comm to be looking at. GG will be approving the content and taking the advice of the other mods if she is unsure about something.
- Can the ads be anonymous?
Yes.
- Can the ads be OOC?
No. Remember, this classified section is for the characters to use in game. If you (the player) want to make an announcement or ask for threads, make a post on the ooc comm.
- Can I send in an image?
Absolutely. Please have it hosted somewhere and include the url in your email. No hotlinking!
- Can Clover send in an ad?
Funny as that would be, no. The digest posts are IN-CHARACTER. Something like that would be much better on the crack comm.
- How do I respond to an ad on the digest?
In the digest post itself.
The rules for the Digest are the same as anywhere else on the comm. Ads must be in character and they should be appropriate for the entire community to look at. Other than that, the sky's the limit. Let your character's voices be heard!
Once again, submit your ads to dcdigest@gmail.com !
