OC topics badgerbadgerbadger

I have seen that many people nowadays are being lazy when it comes to creating OC topics. All I see is "bm me", and no further information, When I see this, I just simply ignore it, and move on to the next topic, no matter what rank the person is.

So how should you write your OC topics?

Firstly, you should start with which rank gets which percentage. If you want a certain rank and above, you should include how much more percent they will get. (Also, if you want high ranks in, you should include it in the subject of the topic to get the high ranked people's attention).

Then you should state where the OC is taking place, and which ranks are in it already, if there are any, and what equipment you want them to buy.

Also, when the positions starts to fill up, keep the topic up to date. Don’t just add it on a reply, but remove, or cross out the positions that have been taken.

When you have sent invites, be patient, as sometimes the person can be in jail, or doing something different for a few seconds, so give it a few minutes before you start nagging.
