Hello there fellow rpers, we are going to be braking this down even more so that your stay here is even more pleasent. This will help you and the other roleplayers understand one another and something that is very important respect one another. Please fallow this rules and we will have a very good time!
0: Be nice:
- There are people that are new to rp who are trying to learn how to do it. Help them through it, and explain to them why it cannot happen if they attempt to do something that does not go. Even veterans of rp slip up at times and they too need a reminder. No one is perfect, not even the characters we create. (There is also a class to learn different ways to rp that will be open soon).
-Another thing, there are people in this forum who are learning the english lenguage (Me being one of them) and they might need a little bit of time, or their spelling/grammar might be off please take your time and undersdand them as well as help them out and don't judge them, it hurts when you are trully trying. Same goes for people who suffer from impediments such as dislexia.
1. The Number one rule of this post is respect:
- We all know that a great relationship comes from respect and by this I mean get to know the character whom you are rping with. Take time to read their profile and keep that in mind to yourself. This meaning, if it is the first time your rp character has met this people they do not know them, that is they need to get the chance to meet one another on their own.
2. When creating a forum post:
-make sure that it is open. IF you want to be the ruler and place rules about your Forum post please move it to the Stage forum where you can rule your rp and create the story line you wish to create.
- On your new post for the subject line make it like this
- Random Title
- if Mature: +18- (title) +18
(We are not responsible if you enter a mature roleplay and come out offended because of the sexual, or violent content. You decited to click to post despite the fact that it was marked with an +18, your choice was made not by us.)
3. Joining Forums
- If you are joining a forum that was started and there have been responces to please take the time to read it so that you know what you are getting yourself into. This way you don't end up being ignored since you do not know what is going on in the story line.
- If you are part of more then one forum make sure that you have them separated by times, this way your character grows. Make your forums time related such as past, present, future to help each story go by smoothly.
4. When being part of a forum rp:
- We understand that you've got a life outside of this forum and of rp, however there are people who are contining on you to continue their story. If you happen to be leaving or if you will be gone for a while, let the rpers know via ooc this way they can wait for you. If you don't the rpers have the right to continue after two weeks of waiting time by eighter skipping your turn or moving your chracter for you to a safer place or not.
5.
DEATH IN RP:
- Though death is not something many rpers like to deal with in this place we are dealing with it in a rather funny yet effisiant way. If you character happens to die (and I hope people don't get angry at the ones that kill them it is a sorty after all). There is one way to bring them back to life, after you don't use them for 3 days that is.
- To bring them back to life a friend of yours must go to the gods tower make a sacrifise and bring you back (simple right?) but as metion in the thing above you cannot use said character for 3 days
- Braking it down even more
- Humans = 3 days
- Dolls / Vampires / Demons / Angels / other feary like cretures = 2 days
- Half Gods = 1 day
- Gods (this is for the gods that happened to be on earth since they have even a bigger chance of getting hurt being more bonerable and all) = 12 hours
- Ghosts = the worst thing that could happen to you is be sent to the underworld. To bring back your ghost you'll have to escape the underworld with the help of a summon. <-- for example people playing the with amulates that are hunted.
6: OOC:
- People this is an rp forum, there is no connection to reality. Your characters go out good, if you want to go out in reality make sure you let the person know via ooc, or even better if you ahve a proublem with a character this does not mean you have it with the actual person keep rp and real life separated please! This is a common mistake for first timers so just remember it's a story not real life.
7.
GODMODING - No rper likes GODMODING so please dont do it. If you do not know what this is here it is explained
by someone else since I don't think I could write it better.
Godmoding covers a lot more matter than usually given credit for. It's a term used in many forms of roleplaying (Be they table-top, forum, IM, etc.) for any of the following problems:
1) When a character knows information that they shouldn't - this information could be taken from a forum they aren't supposed to have accessed, the user's prior knowledge on a subject (usually in fanbased RPs that follow a timeline), outside conversations about characters, or anything along those lines.
2) When a player takes control of another player's character (this is negated if there is some form of mind control involved, but even still permission for actually moving the character should be discussed). A common, though often accidental, version of this is when a character attacks another character and they explain that the other character was hit, not giving that person a chance to let their character dodge.
3) When a character is somehow invincible - if there's a GM, good luck getting this character through to the end. Everyone has weaknesses, your character should be included.
Should anyone out there still not get it - Godmoding is a bad thing.
1) Situation - In another forum, the GM has had a hitman hired to assassinate Player A's character.
Hitman: *Happens to be a super pretty girl - just the kind that Player A's character likes* Hey baby.
Player A: *Shoots in the head* Stupid assassin.
2) Person: Player A shoots at Player B, hitting him twice in the arm and once in the knee. And then, Player B falls to the ground, crippled from pain.
- In which the person's character is Player A.
3) ... does this really need explaining? They're indestructible.
All of the above? Godmoding. Generally considered rude / illegal in play.
Thank you for taking your time and reading this very simple yet important rules.
Love ya!
