All roleplay posts should conform to the following format:


For ships, actions visible to outside observers go here. This means weapon and shield energy levels, the positions of launch tubes, bay doors, and the like. This also includes communications to other vessels.

Since the roleplay follows characters, it may be most convenient to describe the command center of the vessel and the captains actions here, though that is not required.>

Text Color Key:

This post outlines what color text generally corresponds to which faction. These guidelines are not strict and may be eschewed for the sake of clarity. Black is the default color and may be used at any time, but when multiple factions are interacting in a single post, such as when characters from two factions both respond in a single post, using colors to distinguish factions is recommended.

Multiple factions may use the same color text if roleplayed by different players, but it is recommended that players discuss the conflicts and attempt to resolve them. While conflicts do not require resolution, they are highlighted here to warn players that the given color may reflect multiple factions.

Color-Faction:
Dark Red - Konigserker
Red - Nairan Interstellar Kingdom
Orange - Realm of Zaan
Brown - Orai
Green - IPU
Olive - Renegades
Cyan
Blue - Djin
Dark Blue - Mirai
Indigo
Violet
Black - Undeclared, Mixed, and Unspecified

fyi the Realm of Zaan was dark red. (and the Cryssalids, when they come out, I expect will want to be green or light green.)

Do you suppose there is a conflict now between the Realm and the Konigserker, or is it OK?

I listed the Realm as orange because that is the color you've been using for Hiriam, but I see that prior to that you used dark red for some of Ferroussa's posts. It would be best to avoid conflicts. Is there a reason you feel that Hiriam should have a different color than the rest of the Realm?

For the Chryssalid, the closest to light green is the olive that you've been using for the Renegades. If you want to change colors for them, that's up to you, but the difficulty of changing colors is that there are posts that already use that color. That is the problem with changing the color for the IPU as well. I think it would be best if the Chyssalid use one of the colors not already taken, if they use an alternate color at all. It is not necessary and really is only important when one player controls multiple factions and needs to distinguish between them.

At the time I thought the idea was to have a different color for every character. Now I see it is just for every faction.

Dark red is the preferred color, as that is the heraldry of the Realm, but since the precedent has been set I guess I will continue to use orange.

As for the Renegades... their heraldry is white&black, so I really dont know what colors they should use.

Should I go back and change the colors on my previous posts?

What colors should I use?

I don't think it is necessary edit your past posts. The text colors are just to distinguish factions and do not reflect any aspect of the factions represented. So it's more or less first come first serve by personal preference. I would recommend, though, that you continue to use different colors for the Realm and the Renegades (I thought orange and olive was working well).
