also you might want to put a label [ Personal History, Family Members, Personality Profile... etc... ] over the various sections of your character sheet as the spoiler listing does not tell what each section holds. you have to open it all to find any specific data unless your lucky and open the right one eventually.

It is a back an forth conversation.. not long speeches assume that they are replying in response to each others questions and answers.

The best way to approach it so it does not devolve to micro-posts with a single sentence is to take the conversation in context. I post questions, and Charles responds to them with answers and then questions of his own. Then in my next post I reply to his answers and questions.. then ask new questions at the bottom of my post. He is free to react to any question or answer I make and I try to counter-reply in order of the questions or responses he makes to my questions and responses. Just to keep the posts to a low minimum and keep the conversation moving. The actual 'order' of the questions and answers is not entirely all that important only the responses. When Charlie does not respond to a question or a reply - that I make I figure the conversation point is concluded and move on to the next point in the conversation.

Oh since Stormrage asked Charles Aldridge {note she will keep calling him by his full name - out of politeness and to make sure no social slight in incurred, until told only the first name is needed } to explain the functioning of her room conveniences... they are likely in her room as he shows her around briefly. I'm not sure if they closed the door don't see the need to and I'd think the Human marine would keep the door open in the presence of a strange though very lovely alien!

I have.. depending upon Charlie's answer to Storm's innocent request only one more post to make to end the conversation thread as storm says her goodbyes and gets to bed for some much needed rest.

I've played several PbP games and also do a bit of RP for sit-down games outside of the table session across e-mail and my comuity of players just assumed the most reasonable order to question/reply answer... but your idea has good merit!

OOC is the section for the outside observers to make commentary on the game as well as players. We just try to keep it civil and constructive criticism is appreciated. None of us players wants to violate the Cannon as presented by Arioch in our portrayal of our characters... though some must happen as we have a limited source of cannon to take our cues from it invariably will happen to some extent.

but for clarity and avoiding the repeats, you could PM it with each other then compose the actual discussion.
Now I only wonder what sentence is followed by what.

Why does speech have to be in brackets? Why can't it be in quotation marks?

They are easier to recognize? However, thats why I wrote "for example"...
