Playing The Game

For the most part Lantern Hill is a social themed game, however the idea of a social themed game is not just coffee house RP and TS. It's a game filled with plots, scheming and backstabbing. Characters actually get points for creating plots and interacting with others! To be part of the game all one has to do is RP and play the character they have apped. If you apped a socially deceptive cheerleader bent on ruling the school, then go after those characters who stand in your way. Playing the obsessive school jock in love with a taken girl, let nothing stand in the way of getting her! You can achieve more by starting rumors, stealing from, misleading and corrupting those around you! Even the NPCs! The most important rule for a game like this is OOC communication! Let others know whats up! Work out possible plots. Let RP take you where it may. This game is based on soap operas and TV series! If it happens in those, then it can happen here.

Fan Mail During the course of the game, characters receive "fan mail"; these are points representing a character’s popularity with the audience (aka the other players). The active a character is, the more fan mail she receives. The more fan mail she receives, the more influence she gets over the stories. Getting Fan Mail Every player gets two points of fan mail per log they appear in. Players give fan mail to other people’s characters—you cannot give yourself fan mail—when they like (or hate) what a character has done. You cannot give fan mail to the same character more than once a week. The Admins may also an additional give point of fan mail to characters as a reward for particularly good scenes.
