Just some ideas.
We need a board for sugestions, like a sugestions box.
We need a timestamping idea, like different dates so one cat can be in multiple threads without to much confusion.
Example of timestamping, tanken from Ramath-Lehi.com
Timestamping is this wonderful thing at Ramath-lehi that allows us to create actual timelines in order to base our plots upon. Every roleplay thread that is created on Ramath-lehi is marked with a timestamp. The timestamp includes the current in character year, month, and date.
On the planet of Ramath-lehi there are four quarters (months). Each quarter has 50 days in it. So that makes one Ramathian year, 200 days long. There are ten days in a Ramathian week, so each quarter is composed of five weeks.
Each thread you start should be marked somehow with the current Ramathian day, month, and year.
You can find the current Ramathian month and year to use for Timestamping your posts below (and at the top of every single page).
Current Timestamp
Current Day Any number between 1 & 50.
Current Quarter Mia (Winter)
Current Year 81381
When you timestamp your post, you can timestamp it with any number between one and fifty, regardless of the actual ''real life'' date.

May I timestamp a roleplay post in the "future"?
As a general "rule of thumb," try not to make roleplay posts that are too far into the future. IE, over two quarters. The reason why it's not always good is because from time to time, we do have world wide plots, and your characters may be affected and cause timeline conflicts.
Can my character be in two (or more) threads at once if the Timestamp shows a different date?
Yes. That is the entire point of Timestamping threads - so that you can roleplay your character in two or more places at once. Just make sure that none of your timelines overlap!

Temperatures vary greatly from continent to continent, but generally follow the same standards as Earth. But whenever in doubt - ask.
