-The Basics
-RPG Wise
-Limitations
- Swearing
Swearing is normal for most people when they are mad, sad or just joking round. Even though I personality don't swear~Effect of Swearing-mom coming out and attacking me~ I will allow characters too. If you are just talking normally then limit your words a bit. I don't want you throwing out cuss words or I'll censor all the ones used. I might even banned you. - GMing, PPing, or MGing
No godmodding, powerplaying, or metagaming (Also known as GMing, PPing, or MGing). If you want to control every aspect of your characters life, then write a book.
GMing- This means your character is completely perfect. They are smart, wise, strong, beautiful/handsome, and get all the girls/boys. Please avoid doing this. No one is perfect.
PPing- This means you have taken control of something other then your character or your own monster. Whether it is to your advantage or disadvantage, you may not do this. For example, you may not say your attack hit your opponent(or any other living creature for that matter). You should clearly illustrate what you intend to do, and leave the outcome up to your mod. You also may not change the weather or make yourself meet an npc/monster without your mod saying so.
MGing- This means you know something about someone or somewhere that you shouldn't. An easy to forget example is calling another person's character by their name before they introduce themselves. Since the other person is probably using their character's name in their posts, you may forget that you're not actually supposed to know their name. Also, despite the fact that you can easily look up different characters profiles and areas, your character cannot. Your character cannot magically know about an event in another character's past if they have never met before, and you may not say you have met someone else's character without their consent. - Chat-Speak
Oh, you love that easy shortening of works you use when you text. My favorite to see is lol. That lol that I just typed is the only chat-speak I better see on this site. I don't want even in general chat to see anything like it. I don't think it is proper in a writing RPG to have chat-talk everywhere. It seems a bit weird. Here you are typing out paragraphs with almost perfect grammer but when I talk to you I see all these letters that are suppose to mean something. That don't even form words just phases that the normal teenaged brain remembers. Yeah I don't have to normal brain so no Text talk, Chat Speak, or what every you want to call it. - Errors
Ok, I know there are some miss spelling somewhere and odd sentences that don't make sense. I can't find them but knowing the way I write I probably mixed up words or misspelled a few things. At any time you may tell me if you find one of my mistakes. I will fix it when I get on. - Dislike
Your characters are going at each others throats and hate grows between them. Now that is normal but becoming another members enemy is anohter story. If you don't like a person then don't talk to them or Rp with them. They have every right to be here unless the reason you don't live them is because they are breaking the rules. That is when you PM me with evidence.
-RPG Wise
- OOC
OOC of Out of Character is what RPGers use to speak to each other while in a post. Unlike when characters talk this is just the members talking. This talk between members are put in ()s. If not then they might be seen as your character speaking.
Example
-->(So what should we do now)
Polly sighed and looked at tom. This was going to be a long day and there was only Tom to talk to. She wished things would get more......... - Speaking
When speaking using your character you should always use "". It is a normal grammer tool in almost all books. When speaking please bold or do something to make your text stand out. This will allow other members to find what your character is saysing and not get it confused with the rest of the post.
Example
Polly pull her hands on her hips and put her face right up to Tom. Her vien on her head looked like it was about to burst as the illusion of steam could be sent from how mad she was.
"Tom why did you do that?! Your in big trouble now!" - Posting
Now I know some people are just starting out but that doesn't mean I will accepted a three line post for a reply to a three paragraph post. We have a minimum of 5 sentences here so happy posting. - Traveling
You may post in three places at once but you may not post any more than that. Jobs count in the limit. - Anime Characters
Now I don't want Naruto flying in and goes Nine-Tailed Fox on everyone. You may keep a characters powers to a point. If you want to keep all of their powers you must set some strict rules. With Naruto you could weaken the Fox's powers or not let it do as must damage. Whatever you choose I will state if you are being fair to the character and the site. - Third Person
Yeah, don't we all love it when someone posts a I was walking... post and you sit there wondering why. Well here you may only post in Third Person when it comes to RPGing. I will not allow any other form unless a private RPG between two members wanting to use a certain style is made. They willl put the way they are writing in the title of the post and they will only be allowed to post like that in that thread only. Other than that all RPs must be in Third person or Story format.
No, Polly: hi I started to walk toward him.
Yes, "Hi!", Polly said as she walked toward him. - Joining
To join a Rp with two members unless it says PM First or Private is alright. To join a Rp with three members you must PM the one that started the thread. If they are no longer present the post then PM another person in that thread. - Turn-by-Turn
Battles are rped on a turn-by-turn basis in which the player describes their monster's actions and the moderator describes the wild monster's actions. Once again, you cannot say your attack hit your opponent for any reason, and likewise your mod cannot say the wild monster's attack hit yours.
-Limitations
- Double Posting
You may solo post meaning you post with yourself while waiting for someone to join or the farther your own personal plot. Double posting when someone is RPing with you is not allowed. Not if they don't reply for 2-3 days then you may but do not do it other wise. - Shadows
You can't make shadows appear only staff can. The one that's job is to do only that have red names. Other than them all other staff can make them appear as well. If not staff then they are breaking the rules. - Amount
Now we all know sometimes you get bored with a character. So you are allowed to make more than one. Just make a different account for each one. - Pairings
Woo now! Don't go too far with that kiss. You can pair up characters but you can't get too far into it. If you really do I will set up a mature board but none of that in the normal Rp sections. Now all pairings are allowed here, shounen-ai and shoujo-ai. If too many people don't want them here than they will be removed and only straight pairings will be allowed. Yaoi and Yuri will not be allowed. (shounen-ai is boy love and shoujo-ai is girl love they will stay in the normal RP) (Yaoi is Boy Sex and Yuri is Girl Sex they wil have to go in the mature section like ever other topic like that)
