Hiatus And Drop
⁞hiatus
- If you will be unavailable to participate in Forced for a time this is where you declare an official hiatus. If you don't declare your hiatus here it won't count towards AC.
- A hiatus may be between one week and one month in length. If you need to be gone for less than a week a hiatus isn't necessary. If you need to be gone for more than a month due to extenuating circumstances please contact the mods and we'll work something out.
- In order to qualify for an exemption for an activity check during a particular month your hiatus must:
- Cover the duration of at least (or close to) three weeks of that month.
- AND/OR cover the duration of the entire week of AC.
- While you're on hiatus it's up to you what your character will be doing and you can work this out with other players or just say that your character is doing their thing.
- Making a post in the OOC comm to announce your hiatus isn't necessary but it lets the other players know that you'll be gone for a while and you can also use this to delegate godmod rights to other players or just let your cast and CR know that your character will be on autopilot.
- Please use the form below and then post your official hiatus in the comments.
⁞drop
We're sorry to see you go but we understand that role playing isn't the end-all be-all of life
Your character will return home and lose all memories of their time in the Star Wars universe. The exception to this is if you play a native character. They will retain their memories and stay in the universe, and might end up being played by someone on the mod team temporarily as an NPC until another player picks them up again.

Apply To Help
Occasionally us mods might realize that there's just too much work for our small team and we need to take on some extra hands. When this happens we will accept applications for certain positions. Different positions may be open at different times and we'll always announce it in the OOC comm. You can also look at the list below to see if there's anything open that you may be able to help with.
- Mod - apps currently closed - Mods make up the main brain of the operation. They're the folks who keep game mechanics in working order, process applications, manage the main storyline, and handle player discipline. They must be well-versed in Star Wars OT-era canon and lore, have a fair and just mind, a level head, reasonable judgment, a spark of creativity, and be able to work well with the rest of the mod team. Mods might also play some NPCs and/or high-profile characters.
- Mod Helper - apps currently OPEN - The helpers are the backbone of the team. Without their hard work and organization the game would crash in a mess of confusion and chaos. They handle a majority of the organization and data entry in the game, primarily processing new characters and players, processing AC records, and they occasionally help with the writing for events and missions. Mod helpers must be very organized, hard working, and possess good typing skills. They also may play some NPCs and/or high-profile characters..
- NPC Player - apps currently OPEN - These folks are the heart of the team and are heavily relied upon during big game plots and events. Most games don't have a special NPC player position, but the Star Wars universe is so massive the mods were quite daunted by the idea of having to play every single NPC that might be needed throughout the storyline by themselves. NPC characters aren't required to pass AC. They're simply called upon when they're needed for a specific plot or event and may end up being dormant for months at a time. NPCs must stick very closely to the mod plot and will receive instructions from mods that must be closely adhered to. NPC players may end up taking on a few NPCs or only one at a time depending on what the mods need.
In the future there will be a more organized method of applying for open positions. For now just contact a mod if you're interested.

Reserves
- Reserves are currently OPEN. The game will be opening March 1. Reserves will remain open until the mods deem it necessary to begin a week-long monthly apping period.
- All reserves are currently good until two weeks after the game opens. Once the game is open reserves will be good for two weeks from the time of reservation.
- Please check the comments below and the Taken Characters page before reserving a character.
- You may not reserve or app an Unappable Character.
- Please see Forced: The Guide for lists of special characters and character types.
- You do not need to reserve a character in order to be allowed to app them. Reserving simply assures that no one else will app that character in the time it takes you to write the app.
- Reply to this post with the following form:
Here's a quick reference on the character types:
- Native: Currently not allowed. Please see the game guide for more information.
A Star Wars character who is taken from the same point in canon that the game is currently at. This character might or might not be on the high-profile characters list. If they are they'll require a special application. - Non-native: A Star Wars character who is from a different point in canon than the game is currently at. If this character is also on the un-appable list there's a chance that your app might not be accepted. Please read Forced: the Guide for more infomation.
- Panfandom: A character from any canon other than Star Wars.
- AU Panfandom: An AU version of a character from any canon other than Star Wars.
- OC: An original character that you created from an original world that you created.
