If you rotate your phone to landscape mode, I have found I am able to use the formatting tools in my mobile web browser... it is a bit fiddly but better than nothing.
Is there anything, any rules or guidelines, on posting in languages other than English. I'm a spanish speaking user, for example, and even though I think I have an acceptable English competency, I'm not very confident of my dramatic writing skills.

I’m not sure, but I’d imagine it’s fine.

This isn't actually a signature, just something I copy and paste onto the bottom of all my posts. Or is it? Yep, it is. Or is it..? I’m a hobbit, and the master cranial imploder of the "Oops, I Accidently Destroyed Someone's Brain" cult. Extended sig. I'm actually in Limbo, it says I'm in Mechanus because that's where I get my WiFi from. Please don't tell the modrons, they're still angry from the 'Spawning Stone' fiasco. No connection to Dragonslayer8 other than knowing them in real life.
I don't know if someone has asked this before, or if this is a dumb question, but I am not really sure how PbP works. Specifically with scheduling. Do you plan ahead so you're all on at the same time, or just message whenever you can?

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
PbP is different for different DMs. I would say, generally, trying to make sure each player posts consistently is the biggest challenge. There is no schedule beyond what you (or DM) decides. It's a slower paced experience, as you might imagine, that really relies on the players to drive the action/story forward. It's more like the latter - you find the time to post at a frequency expected by your DM. Many PbP games wither away due to real life circumstances. I have found it helpful as DM to post your expectations when you are recruiting, then you get players who agree to those terms.
Is it a common practice for people to create a new dummy account when applying for PBP threads to increase their chances of being selected? I've had a couple of brand-new accounts post to my recruitment threads lately and it struck me as odd.
Maybe but hard to tell. Lots of people looking for games but not many new games opening up. Plus there’s a limit of 6 characters on the account at d and d beyond. So maybe it’s a workaround.

Sorry it's taken so long for a response. It's actually a good question if you're not familiar with PbP. With Play by Post there's no need for everyone to show up at the same time. There is usually a frequency requirement. The DMs in Worlds of Pphost are going with once per day minimum.
Has there been any changes to how the "Potentially Manipulated Dice" message triggers? I have been having a lot of them today and I'm not posting any differently than I have in the past.

Hi
PbP is different for different DMs. I would say, generally, trying to make sure each player posts consistently is the biggest challenge. There is no schedule beyond what you (or DM) decides.

Best of luck!

callmeLothar - I see. It's just strange when I see an account that was created the same day and has made literally just the one post. *Shrug* Oh well.
