As said above I'm looking for a thread or two, though i don't got much of an idea on what to do... so a quick résumé about my character.
He is a German soldier, he lied about his age to join, from Lübeck, Background wise he served with the 1st panzer division in France. His rank is Rottenführer, newly appointed (June 1940)... I don't got much of an idea other then well say he meets a person who knows him from Lübeck or something but i would be very satisfied with ideas and hopefully long lasting threads =P All I ask is that it isn't like a week between each post.
A standard thing is for characters to get together at a pub or firing range and.... Talk, about stuff. But I prefers Neturals that have action in it, like an assault on something or defending something or an ambush. Ya know

Now i'm part of a rookie at this... And not completely sure how you mean a neutral that has action in them... And I'm pretty much fresh for any ideas... just gotta tell you if i haven't tried it before i tend to prefer to have people start the first of that kind of threads so i can learn it...

Basically a neutral thread is a safe haven for your character, you have complete control over what happens and the only time a moderator steps in is if the length is too short, (a minimum of 15 lines per post is a requirement) or when you have told the story you want to tell and want it closed. At that point you post a link to the thread in the Closed thread / notifying list. This list is in the character development area under the Notifications sub-board.
You can not had a neutral by yourself, someone must join you to tell your story. If no one joins you can request someone to join and if no one continues to join you can either leave it open until someone does join later, or you can close it. Most Neutrals that are closed without participation generally get 2 CP for the trouble of starting a thread. It can be set at any time, at any stage of the war or even before or after the war so show what your character did then.
Some Characters form "friendships" with other characters and usually do threads together that follow the original storyline. These storylines are called Episodes and can find themselves listed on the IO Wiki page.
The only place your characters actions can be out of your control are in battles, this is the only place your character can die. Death results in the discontinuation of that characters account. You can still use it if you like but he will be unable to participate in New neutrals or battles. If you have neutrals in progress when your character dies you are allowed to finish those threads and the resulting CP will generally be given to your new character or another character you own.
I hope this has answered any of your questions and cleared everything up for you.

Well i like the entire Ambush Or assult idea =P Just don't know how to write those... So if you could write it up then the next of such threads we have I promise I'll write xD If it's okay with you else I'll happily try and start something... Though i think you better know how to proceed in a story cause you done it before.

sadly i have no real plans or plot idea... still getting settled in.. If any of the things i wrote in the top gives you any ideas be free to suggest anything, i can fit in to most things... Though i guess it could be a random encounter... Start something seeing where it goes... i dont know
