Alright, TW is freeform, but there are some rules.
1. No god modding. 'My army moves south' is an okay post, but 'my army moves south, crushing all resistance before it, shattering and scattering enemy formations like so many frightened rabbits etc. etc.' is not. If you do have a wonderfully flavorful post, PM it to the GM, get his okay/corrections, and then post it.
2. General play works like this:
OOC thread. Taunt your opponents. Bitch at the GM about late updates, get bitched at by the GM for not getting in your EoT.
IC thread. Grandstand, make threats, and public announcements. You can also communicate with other players here, via the old fashioned spoiler with their nation on it. Be warned, however, as nations with higher espionage/players who want to cheat at an on line freeform game can peek in.
The PM's. If you feel up to allying with the unscrupulous backstabbers that are everyone in these games, but don't feel like tipping everyone and their mother, the PM conversation is the way to go. Some GM's will ask you to keep them in the loop, PM wise.
The EoT. Where stuff gets done. Sent in at a normally predetermined time to the GM, general format is as follows:
Military:
1. I build up my army in Blah.
2. I defend the strategically important thingy.
Espionage:
1. I associate the King of Blah.
2. My spies attempt to seduce the Prime Minister Whatsherface.
Foreign Opinion:
1. My diplomats discreetly point out to any dignitaries they can find that the King of Blah is a meanyface.
Economy:
1. We sign that trade deal with Those Dudes.
Morale:
1. Put up more propaganda posters depicting our Dear Leader, shirtless and bloodied, standing over vanquished enemies with a sword in hand.
Tech:
1. Continue Operation Magic Cheese.
