you should pretend as you didn't knew them and welcome back...another thing you should do is delete this topic because it's breaking the 4 day rule :wink:

yes, you can't post anything of in game that happened in less than 4 days... in fact it upsets many people to post about in game things that happened in the same month.

edit: there is a cross (x) after the edit of the topic post (the first post of the topic...lol) just click it. quick quick! :wink:

You don't have the ability to delete the topic after someone else has posted unless you're a forum moderator. The best you can do is edit the information, which I see you've done.

The four day rule is a rule of thumb for when you can talk publicly about events. Some events require longer, some events don't matter like "5000: You attack a deer." Just try to use common sense. If it's an event that will rock the Cantr world (at least a large region of it) then don't talk about it for a long time because of the ripple effect.

(The following is completely fabricated.)

I.E. Queen Malhvara was killed in a coup for the throne of the Misamparka Empire, and Sukinmop betrayed General Mokdigal, the man who ran the coup and succeeded Queen Malhvara. That might seem like it's over, but sometimes the consequences cause things to keep happening, even at distances from where the main thing happened. Like if Sukinmop ran off, but the General sent people after him; that may take awhile to resolve. It might even start off another large event.

Now if it's like... someone died that might be important to your character, but not a huge factor in any major events or groups or leadership, then four days is probably okay. Say Didley Squat's love of her life died, leaving her alone and suicidal... You could put how she or you as a player, misses that character in the "Dead Characters" thread.

And if you post something before it should be posted, usually it will be edited by PD or CD. It will also be edited if it provides too much information that should be kept in game.
