| 1997 is pretty unremarkable so far. Things are very normal. They are only ever normal. But, while the world paints itself normal, you know that isn't quite right. Whether you're hunting for your truth or looking to kill an idle afternoon learning about supernatural conspiracies, the CryptoNet forum is as good a place as any to talk. When it's all theory, what's the worst that could happen? | 1997 is pretty unremarkable so far. Things are very normal. They are only ever normal.

| Time in CryptoNet matches time in the real world. When the forum is open on the 29th of June for player use, it will also open for the first time in two months for characters (see: [[cryptonet|CryptoNet]]). Likewise, each turnsheet will represent the time between the end of one uptime and the start of the next. | Time in CryptoNet matches time in the real world.

| The game is designed such that players should feel free to participate as much or as little as they would like, and is supposed to mimic a forum in real-life in that respect. Characters will have real lives with (in some cases) real jobs, just as many players will, and so it is not expected or required for players to be participating at all times. | The game is designed such that players should feel free to participate as much or as little as they would like, and is supposed to mimic a forum in real-life in that respect.

| - | During uptime, you will be able to post on the forums and send emails as your character, in order to share information, partake in [[encounters|Encounters]], and plan what to do next. At the end of each uptime, you will be able to submit a [[turnsheets|turnsheet]], consisting of your plans for the coming downtime. The turnsheet deadline is 23:59pm on the DATEHERE?? at the end of each uptime. Any received after the deadline with no prior agreement with GMs are unlikely to be processed - if you know you might miss a deadline, [[gm@cryptonet.chaosdeathfish.com|get in touch]] so the GM team can confirm whether or not we will be able to process your turnsheet. The GMs will then judge the results of your turnsheet over the downtime week, and report back to you on how everything went. | + | During uptime, you will be able to post on the forums and send emails as your character, in order to share information, partake in [[encounters|Encounters]], and plan what to do next.
