Newbie Questions

[Vanilla Custard]

Hello all;

I have several questions, because I'm new and couldn't find it in the rules and guidelines...

1. Does it matter where I post first? For example, can my new character (as a lonely mare) walk into a herd to ask for shelter, or is such not allowed and does she have to start off somewhere general like the meadows?
2. Does the forum have liquid timing? E.g. can a single character have two threads going on at once (one of them would be presumed to have taken place the day before the other).
3. I've been looking at the adoptions forum. The adopting there seems to be all In-character. 3a. Can a loner adopt a foal? 3b. Are any other foals adoptable OOC-ly, I mean can I as a person 'adopt' a horse that another has created, and is there a place to advertise those (like when the parents' players don't want to play them, or there are suddenly twins or triplets that need an extra player).?

I would appreciate if you could help me out with these! Doesn't necessarily have to be an owner of the site i.m.o. since I'm pretty sure some others may know the answers xD

Love,
Vanilla
