No worries. I'll put the convention up once some people get up.
A few things to keep in mind:
-If you have no idea what you're doing, then either wait for the more experienced posters to make their entrance to see how it works, or even better, read the links that I put on one of my posts on this thread.
-Do not overdo your posting on this thread. We have a LOT of people in this, so I don't want to hit the post limit every five minutes. If you need to reply to multiple people talking to you in the thread, make a multi-quotes, not multiple posts.
-Try to use good grammar or people probably won't take you very seriously.
-Under NO conditions will people role-play fight. It stirs up the thread and is very annoying.
-Try not to make OP posts. "Oh, we'll nuke you sky-high if you don't give us money," etc.
-I don't know who has done the DLCS, so while there are a few DLC-oriented factions, don't make MAJOR DLC spoilers.
-For the people who are playing classic factions, I'm not going to make any lore for them, so use your knowledge of those factions and/or read the wiki when making an opening-post and back story. The entire House ending will be in a spoiler tag on the opening post.
-If you are an ass to the other ambassadors, you aren't going to make very many deals. It's good to have friends at these conventions.
-Don't stress out if suddenly you don't see the convention in the General Discussion. 90% of the time, after about a day, the admins move the conventions to the Art and Fan Fiction section. We simply put it in the General Discussion for attention.
-DON'T use the convention for OOC related stuff. If you want to say something out of the roleplay, come to this thread. I'll put a link to this on the convention itself.\
-I'm 100% sure that there will be multiple (maybe even 3-or-4) threads for every convention because there are a lot of people, and we will hit the post limit fast. If we hit post limit, we follow up on it by quickly making a new thread, but we don't do anything fancy. We just go right where we left off.
-House in ways can be OP because his position has a lot of power, but the representative (me) will try his best not to become totally OP.
A few really important things:
-Some people really do have lives even in the summer, so if someone doesn't post, well it obviously means that they are busy or doing something else, so don't pressure people into posting when they don't have the time. That was one of the big issues in some of the older conventions.
-Try to take it at least a tad bit seriously. There are a lot of people in this convention. The list of factions has tripled in size since last time, and we are making progress in filling all the spaces.
-Have fun!
Again, the convention will go up soon. I'm trying to make the OP pretty so that it can get even more attentions.
