And, optionally, suffix your character level (like DARK2 if I were character level 2). This way, other Underdark players can filter for DARK and quickly see if others are online looking for Underdark Open RP. That's the most important thing, but also this:
Additionally, players could reply to this forum topic to advertise Underdark Open RP events of their own ahead of time. These events are really nothing big, just an opportunity for the few Underdark players to RP together at specific times; there are NO demands on preplanned plots, DM interaction, or anything like that.
For instance, if I plan to be online a certain time I might post something like this where all participants use the same scryfilter as their custom status during the event (you can copy-paste the text below into your own reply and surround it with quote tags):
In the example I added an A suffix to the scryfilter, both to show this is an advertised Underdark Open RP event, and to signify which one if several are scheduled the same day (use suffix B,C,D etc. for conflicting events). Lvl-range indicates the preferred level of participants, but you can omit this line if level range is not important, just as you can omit the 2 from scryfilter but keep the A if you wish to keep your level hidden during the event (tagged DARKA if so).Schedules: 2015-02-14 from 1630 to 1800 GMT
Lvl-range: 1-3
Objective: Helping Sshamath clean its tombs and sewers
Scryfilter: DARK2A
Locations: Sshamath Tombs / Sshamath Sewers
Character: Malira Halda
The main goal is to help solitary Underdark players schedule their RP across timezones and to show at-a-glance via PC scrying if others like them are currently online. Please send me any questions via PM if needed, so we can limit this topic to Underdark Open RP events only, and DMs feel free at any time to contact me as well if this is counter to any of your activities/goals for the server.
So go ahead and advertise Underdark Open RP events of your own below, and we'll see you in the DARK!
EDIT: Hmm, after some testing it seems PC scrying tool cannot filter by player status; finding DARK players was merely a happy coincidence as they were all in areas with "Underdark" in the name. Still, you can filter by "dark" or "math" most of the time and the DARK status is still a good way to find all players who follow "Underdark Open RP".
