That was always an optional thing, so it's hardly a reminder. More a statement of new doctrine. But I assume we just... I dunno, highlight the entire post
if there's training throughout?
The majority of people know where their force training begins, as in where they start aiming for a power instead of the lead up to it, and roughly where it
ends. It doesnt need to be highlighted i normally stick in bold "Force training for.....starts/ends here".
^-^ I love it. Linger relics from when I was a force mod. Glad to see my polite request asking people to mark their training is still used. It is extremely
helpful especially for when you are doing the extremes. Like a lvl 1 power in a long post or a lvl 10 power in an even longer series of posts. xD
To an extent, personally it doesn't make much difference to me if I've been following the thread (which up until recently I followed every thread), but
it's a lifesaver if you're suffering a time shortage and need to get some aps done without reading 30 posts verbatim.
<.< I probably should not have just admitted that the Force mods don't read the entire thread these days due to time constraints and real life
obligations.
Mods are people just as well, and all of us I am sure are happy to see some of us have a life. Besides, when we get to my level, half the posts we ever do are
for fun and for our own entertainment. Not someone else's or collectively ours. If they find it fun its a bonus, but not a requirement.

Not to mention you like to write massive novels so the readers just skim it and miss the sublte foreshadowing of very important things to follow.
Or so I suspect anyway. Witnesses seem to disappear around you.
Again, I jest, though I'm sure everyone has figured that out by now.
Yeah, that as well. One tends to learn to sow the seeds of future advantages (and disadvantages for that matter) in the most subtle manner possible when it
becomes a burden to try and differentiate between OOC and IC knowledge. But I dislike such tactics and also am no good at it, so I tend to just follow in the
old sayings of my country:
"To hide a tree, put it in a forest. To hide a piece of paper, put it in a book."
To hide sentences, hide it in a massive post of useless phrases put together to make some coherent sense ^_^.
Or hide the foreshadowing in the open or use creative descriptions when dealing with them to keep it mysterious. Even though both of those can lead to people
deducing said future event.
