 |  Subject: Rules for Role-Playing (MUST READ)  Sat Jun 26, 2010 7:41 pm | |
| ((I know I've been pretty lenient on this site, but I really like to keep things organized. These are just some rules when RolePlaying, some are repeated from the other Rules and Regs for the Site only because they're extremely important to keep in mind. I'm gonna buckle down and be little more strict just because some things are getting sloppy.))
1. Don't kill off other people's characters! (unless you have the creator's permission)
2. Don't have a too big of image for your signature or avatar.
3. Only 3 characters to each RP. If you have too many it's hard to keep up with them.
4. Post at least once a week (either in Rp-ing or some other section) or there will be consequences to face.
5. You must only have ONE account on here.
6. You can swear on here, just don't talk like a sailor. We are a civilized species, broaden your vocabulary.
7. I understand about typos and spelling errors, but try to refrain from them as much as possible. Use correct punctuation (commas, periods, exclamation point, etc.)
8. When actually posting and your character is talking, please use proper dialogue, such as quotation marks. Its confusing when its not used.
9. For your character description for profiles, you CAN use pictures, but also add some description of words with it. Don't let it be just a pic of your character or I will either delete the character profile completely or ask you to edit it.
10. If you make a Role play, please make sure the plot is intriguing enough to go on for a while. I don't want a truckload of failed RP's. If you have parts of a plot but don't know how to tie them together, you are welcome to ask Toby or Kate Arveskov for help. Also, if you make a RP (Role Play) and you're not sure on a title, just send either Toby or Kate Arveskov a description of the plot and we'll help you with a title.
11. When creating a new Role Play it is preferred to post in the third person (ex. Kim went to the store), and keep Narrative (ex. I went to the store) to small Role Plays, with short plots and only needing a few characters within the storyline. When having an epic Role Play please post them in third person, this will cut down on some confusion.
12. You can create as many RP's as you want!! (Just make sure you can keep up with them)
13. When making a profile, plot, or actually role-playing I've been seeing some posts that don't pertain to the actual Role-Play. Please try to refrain from getting distracted and having random topics/discussions/posts in these sections. It confuses other members when they're trying read them. If I see this, I will be forced to delete it as it doesn't have anything to do with the role-play or character.
14. If you want somebody to talk to in the chat-box please send them a Private Message rather than posting it somewhere that isn't necessary for it.
15. If you're asking a question or saying something that pertains to the Rp and you are actually posting please use parenthesis.
16. No god-modding! You're character CANNOT be invincible! They have to have weaknesses. If another character throws a punch at your character you can dodge or take it seriously and fall from the punch with an injury.
17. You cannot (and I mean CANNOT) control another person's character.
18. When you first register, I will give you ONE WEEK to post at least one post. If you haven't posted, then I will be forced to assume you aren't committed to the site and delete your account. If you aren't able to post within that week, please send Toby, Kate, or one of the staff members so we know to keep you in mind.Thank your for your time to read this
If you have any questions or would like to change some things
about something related to an RP
Please contact Kate Arveskov or Toby.
