What a turn of events. I'm... er... surprised.
(For those who don't know, I'm an administrator of russian version of Sonic SCANF)
Well, about Free-Play... At least, how the things work.
We have a few people who are looking for this sub-forum. They're not GMs, but, well, has some authorities such as opening new topics for locations and checking new characters profiles. That was made for... To be honest, for idiot proof. You know, when some Cinos the Hedgehog appears [without character profile], creates his own secret undeground underwater base in space [in other words, he opens a topic for his brand new location] and starts wrecking everything, including other players... That's no good, yeah. But I don't know, do you have such players or not, that's just how things are working at russian version. And one more check. It's introduction post just to check posibilities of players and how they can play by their own characters. The rest was described at the first post.
Well, I hope that helps. And sorry for bad English.
