	PBP format doesn't work well for Player/GM back and forth, so I do my best to avoid it. This means the bidding aspect of spending PP on a roll kinda drops off.

I will do my best to make sure those PP are spent as economically as possible to achieve your desired outcome.		PBP format doesn't work well for Player/GM back and forth, so I do my best to avoid it.

'''Post Frequency'''
* I am asking for a '''daily''' posting commitment for this game as a general rule, with the understanding that posting might be less frequent on weekends and holidays.

'''Post Absences'''
* If you will NOT be able to post, for whatever reason, please ping us in OOC so we know what is going on or post to the [https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?709532-Grand-Central-Absences-Station Absences Thread] (I pretty much check that thing every time it lights up).

'''Post Formatting'''
* Please bold your character's name at the top of each IC post '''OR''' bold the first instance of your character's name in the body of the post. We all game with lots of folk, sometimes with the same players in different games; this just makes it easier to keep track of which character we're addressing.

* If you are addressing another PC in your post it is helpful to bold their character name as well so it stands out for them.

* OOC blocks are fine for showing dice rolls and brief OOC comments directly related to a particular post. Please sblock if you need to include large blocks of text related to your IC post. All other OOC content should go in the OOC thread itself.

* Do not place action statements (incl pp spends/asset generation) or dice rolls in the OOC Thread. I will never keep up with those. All action statements and dice rolls should go in the IC Thread [with dice rolls OOC Blocked].

* Please link all dice rolls back to your dice roller.

==Resource Bidding==
PBP format doesn't work well for Player/GM back and forth, so I do my best to avoid it. This means the bidding aspect of spending PP on a roll kinda drops off. Instead, I find it helpful for players to indicate (if you are able) how many PP/BDHD you are willing to spend (if any) to succeed on the roll. I will do my best to make sure those PP are spent as economically as possible to achieve your desired outcome.

If my GMC is willing (presuming I have the PP to burn) to spend enough GM PP that you cannot succeed, I will let you know that so you don't have to burn PP if you don't want to on a failed action (though you always have the option to spend your PP to force me to spend mine in those situations).

If I am requiring an action of you (defending vs an attack, random notice check, etc) I will roll stakes so you know what you are rolling against, and I will tell you what PP I am willing to spend. I don't generally pre-roll for actions I think you ''might'' take no matter how obvious it may seem, because I don't want to influence how you choose to act in a scene.

If you would earn a pp for using an SFX (including Hinder), you may spend that pp on the roll that earned it. Likewise if the GM buys a rolled hitch.

==PVP==
While there is the potential for a fairly significant amount of player vs player conflict in a game like this one, I prefer not to run games that lean heavily to that assumption. Games like that simply do not need a GM, and I would much rather spend my time running games that ''do'' need a GM.

'''For reference, what I consider PVP basically amounts to this:''' ''If an action would require dice to affect a GMC, then it counts as PVP if used against a PC''

So disagreements, trash talking, indirect actions that might affect another character but aren't made directly against that character are all potentially on the table with the caveat that if something just makes the game not fun for someone that we respect that and steer clear.
----
If you want to do something that directly acts against another player's character, proceed based on the following criteria:
: '''Unilateral Permission:''' The other player agrees to your action. No rolls are needed. Just RP it out.
: '''Limited Permission:''' The other player doesn't agree that it is an automatic thing, but does agree to let the math rocks decide. Roll it out. If initiative is a concern, I will handle that case by case.
: '''Declined Permission:''' The other player does not agree to PVP. Move on with something else.
