Questions and their answers will be compiled here shortly. Please feel free to comment on this post with questions you might think of to add to the FAQ in the meantime. If you think I've thought to add it already, I assure you: there's a good chance I haven't.

Question: What the fuck is this? (I'll fix this, shhhh)
Answer: SYNTHNOVA is meant to bridge the gap between a traditional game and more casual settings like [community profile] bakerstreet, [community profile] dear_player, [community profile] sixwordstories, and other meme and dressing room communities. Here you'll find no commitments, no applications, and no burdensome activity checks – just a straightforward set of community rules. It's an entirely player-driven playground where events and themes are suggested and can be voted on by the player base.

Our plots range from the mundane, like a "live" performance by a band from a beloved fandom, to the exotic, where special drinks come with fun and even spicy side-effects, or even veer into outright chaos, with a hoard of zombies taking over the dance floor.

In SYNTHNOVA, time flows in real-time on a 1:1 ratio, but players are free to come and go at their leisure, interacting with posts as they see fit. The community provides a set of prompts and a setting, but the rest is up to you.

Events happens every Friday, stylized as a weekly club newsletter that highlights club happenings and introduces themes and prompts that players can choose to engage with or opt-out of entirely through their own top-level comments. We also encourage player-run events, enabling you to inject your character's canons and personal plotlines into the mix, and offer a "missed connections" post every Monday, perfect for general texting, sexting, and those unforgettable texts from last night.
