For those who are new to Roleplaying in this format, and wish to know all of the thread types, this is the page for them. This will include all rules on certain thread types and how/when these apply. Note, some might overlap.
This thread is open to all people in that area who wish to join. These are the normal type of thread that people do besides private/closed threads, and are a good way to make friends with other player characters.
A thread that is dedicated to an appearance between a set number or set group of people and baring other players from joining. This type of thread is usually done for plot only threads, or solo battles between in character friends. This is the go to type of thread when you want to further the plot and relations between two PCs.
What you might expect from the name, this thread is a thread that involves only your character and non-player characters you create for it. These threads are regulated, but are usually used to further personal plot on certain subjects, such as character's family life, or important subjects that other player characters are not involved.
A small thread or mutliple set of threads that furthers the entire site's plot with small actions, or a tiny moment that could or will permanently effect the site's history. This usually is elections for power, taking over land, or finding the Dragon Balls. These are usually open threads in nature, and sometimes are DEs.
A large thread or multiple set of threads that furthers the entire site's plot with massive actions or amazing moments that WILL permanently effect the site's history. This usually is the taking of entire areas, summoning Shenron, or wars. These are always open threads and are always DEs. All sagas must be a DE, unless stated otherwise by an Admin (not a Moderator).
A thread that can be both open threads or closed/private threads, these DE threads are where characters can be killed without the expressed permissions of the character's user. If a thread isn't a DE, then you must have permission from the other person to kill their character. This thread type bypasses this rule. For more information on this, go to this thread: The Afterlife and how you get there. When you join a DE thread, you are locked from creating or joining more threads until the DE has ended or you escape it. This to ensure they go faster as well as no allow any Post-Mortem Living World threads. To escape you have to be uninterrupted in the next post or for 24 hours if the posts are going slow.
Every canon faction has a Benefit and Requirement for the usage of these Active Duty threads. These are normal threads, where you are on duty for your faction or school and must wear their uniform in character, while doing stuff one would associate with a member of your faction. Turtle School students would be training, or going around helping people, while Purple Pants Army soldiers would probably be patrolling, or harassing civilians out of money. These are normal threads, can be closed/private, open, or a Solo if you wish. These work with the Factions and give you the Weekly Active Duty bonus.
An extremely rare and abnormal thread type, these threads can only be started by the top staff members, and take place between Saga changes. These would normally be like the development into the Saiyan Saga, or into the Namek Saga. These are always DE threads, and incorporate the fabled Admin NPCs. These Sagas permanently effect all involved. These are open to literally anyone, and are meant to help push people on the right track for the site's plot!
