Placeholders
Placeholders are topics (posts or new threads) posted near the end of the current cycle that, for one reason or another, won't get properly started before the official end of said cycle. The rules regarding placeholders are that you cannot have more than 5 at the end of each cycle, and you must title and date the placeholder (Example: Title - The World As We See It, Date - 110th Trial of Ashan, Arc 718). The title should fit the theme of Standing Trials. This is done to maintain the thematic integrity of the forum, but it can also be used as a way to remind those involved what the thread will be about. Both titles and dates can be amended at any point until the thread is submitted for review. There is no set time limit for when the thread needs to be completed - only that the placeholder is made in this way.
Please note that all characters in a thread must either have posts or post placeholders before season change. It is not acceptable for one PC to make a placeholder, then three more to join after season change. Unless you have a placeholder or post in a thread before season change which adheres to the rules above, you are not in the thread. If you fail to post placeholders before season change, please contact your local moderator to see if they have any available to give to you.
