Telephone Calls; What To Do

Telephone Calls
In this RPG you are permitted to make phone calls and IM chats and to send text messages via cell phones. Each house and apartment will be equipped with a phone-line, and every character will have an email address and an IM Screen Name.

We would appreciate it if you kept phone-calls to a minimum, it helps with the realism aspect and it’s much more fun to interact one-on-one.

There are several steps to making a phone call

Step 1: Initiating The Call
 

In order to initiate the call, the character who wishes to make the phone call, must clearly state in a post that they are making a phone call and who they are making a phone call to. At this point it would be a good idea. In order to make a phone call something like this must be included in the post.
Example
 

Jonathon picks up his shiny Nokia N95 and slides it open. He accesses his phone numbers and calls Jade’s cell phone


Step 2: The Call Itself
 

After you have made your initial post stating that you are making a phone call, you must post in the appropriate topic in the Telephones forum. The post should look something like this:
Example
 

Jonathon checks that the phone says calling and then he presses his phone up against his ear and waits for Jade to pick up her phone. He wonders if he’ll actually get a response from his friend, considering the fact that she almost never answers her phone. He leans back in his chair and sighs, his free arm flops back over the back of the chair. For a second he considers hanging up ‘cause he knows he’ll be lucky if he gets an answer.


Step 3: Recieving The Call
 

Once the post in the phone thread has been made, a post will be made by the account Telephone saying that the call has been connected. A further post will be made by Telephone in the recipients thread stating they have a phone call. It will then be up to the recipient whether or not to accept the call. If the call is accepted then the phone call will be RPed out as normal but in the phone thread.


Step 4: Ending The Call
 

In order to end the call, a post must be made in the phone thread clearly stating that the phone call has ended.
Example
 

Now that he’s managed to get a hold of Jade and ask her about that biology work, Jonathon hangs up the phone, disconnecting the call.


After this final conversation post has been made, the call participants must return to their original threads. At this point the double- or multi-posting rule can be waived.
Example
 

Jonathon hangs up his phone and puts it on charge, noticing that he only has one bar of battery left.
