Same player as above- sorry for being so slow to get back to this. Got sick and disappeared for a few days.
I think what they're talking about with the "link" thing is this:
It's the url for that specific comment. When making the little [To here] and [From here] comments that link your posts together so people can literally "follow" your character from location to location, it's easiest to use that link. I usually just right-click it, "Copy Link Location," and use it for the To/From link.
And it definitely is pretty unique, from what I've seen on LJ. I'm not sure of the exact reason it's done this way, other than to keep up with the very linear structure of time in that Damned follows. Every patient starts in their room as opposed to just being able to jump to wherever to start a log. It keeps things organized if there's only one post in the community per room, and people can enter and leave said room via comments.
No problem! I'll try to clarify anything else that is confusing. Like I said, the playstyle does take some getting used to, but I've found it really does work extremely well for the game, and isn't so bad once you dive in and give it a shot.
