I'm seriously really curious,

If you had the choice between having your characters all on one account or having seperate accounts for each character so you can keep tack of who is in a scene which would you choose?

all character on one account:
+ less member clutter
+ less hassle to log in
- not always clear who is participating in a scene
- have to make sure you use the proper format in the proper place

usually places that allow this form of rping allows any numble of character as long as you can keep track (and in off gaia cases admin may contact you about removing some if you aren't)

one account per a character
(aka character mules)
+ clear who is participating
+ don't have to worry about formating errors
- lots of members
- having to log in (unless linking accounts are allowed)

Places that use this rp form, usually have have a character limit to prevent too much over crowding and confusion about characters. Using the signature to keep a list of who all the rper is playing is common.



Edited, if you voted already and now with thes clearification want to change or comment in anyway feel free.

(I will also edit from time to time to try and make it clear I'm actually just particpating in an multi account rp for the first time.)

Why should my Mule Account join? I actually go on it the days I go on my regular account to collect my daily earnings but I never do anything with her.

I don't mean anything acutally, I'm just asking a theoritical question, my friend recruited me to a site off gaia where they want accounts for a character for the sake of clearification, so I was wondeirng what the common opinion of the guild would be if we were able to do that.

I see. To me it would be more confusing (personally) to have multiple accounts, but that's just me. Then again I already voted.

No way. I don't want to have to log out and back on every time I want to post a different character and I have so many characters- it'd just be ridiculous. And if like ten members are all the same person- isn't that kind of false advertising?

well I know off gaia sites, some of them allow account linking so you don't have to log out just press a button to swap accounts. usually in this set up would have you list your character in the siggy
