Change to Non Canon and Retired PC post counts. Aka "Special Edition / Guest Starring..." By default, using a retired PC, or being involved in a non-canon post (such as "What if" or "Alternative Versions of...") means that posts are worth 1/2 of normal. The reason for this has been to stop over-use of such threads. Unfortunately, despite them being a comic book staple, the effect has been to effectively completely stop them. Therefore, each month, you are allowed to nominate one, and only one of your threads as either a "Special Edition" (For a non-canon thread), or "Guest starring..." (when featuring a retired PC) and have it counted for full. This can be a different thread every month. If you have more than one thread that is non-canon or features a retired PC, you can still have these posts counted, as previously, and they will be worth 1/2 of normal. For "What if" or non-canon special edition threads, posts should be allocated to the PC (or alternative version) you are using for that thread. When using a retired PC in a Guest Edition thread, nominate one PC that all the posts are transferred to as a block. For GM posts in a special edition thread, posts are added to the total GM count (Which can be split and divided as you wish)
