This board is for conducting roleplay right here on the forum! Now, there are other places out there to play ponies in bulletin board style. We're a MUCK and we'd generally prefer to see you on the MUCK so we can play in real time! However, there are times when it makes more sense to play on a forum.
1) You can't get everyone online at the same time. Maybe your scene has a lot of important players, and they never seem to all be online and free simultaneously. You can create a thread here to make it happen, sacrificing speed in order to let everyone participate.
NOTE: This is especially useful in the case of story arcs you began long ago and would like to get resolved, but which are otherwise off people's radars. Use this board to wrap up loose ends! It may be wise, in these cases, to make large poses that cover sizable chunks of time, in order to keep arcs from dragging on even longer.
2) Alternate worlds. You can make a thread here to RP a story that diverges from the MUCK canon. For example, maybe you and your buddy want to play a scene between Celestia and Luna, or you want to see what would have happened if you'd made a different choice, or you want to play out one of the show's episodes with your friends. Note: There's nothing preventing you from doing these things on the MUCK (so long as you don't do it in the Market or Square), but you may find it less confusing to have a forum thread for it, in order to separate one reality from another.
3) You just prefer it this way. Some people prefer their interactive storytelling to be conducted slowly and at their convenience. Maybe you play a little on the MUCK but you don't have much time each day to spare. Maybe you like the EquestriaMUCK crowd but aren't quick enough to keep up with the normal pace of RP. (Most players will be glad to wait for you if you let them know, though!) Or maybe you want to explore a side arc at a leisurely pace, letting people enter and exit as they please. In that case, feel free to create a thread. Just bear in mind that we'd like to keep most of our RP on EquestriaMUCK.
Now have fun!
