Roleplaying Rules
Rules to be obeyed when roleplaying.
Rules to be obeyed when roleplaying.
When/for roleplaying, there are definitely rules that need to be followed - to keep everything fair, of course, and orderly. This is the other half to the set of rules:
1) You need a profile, first, before you can start roleplaying. But it does not also have to be approved before you can roleplay. Just complete your profile and head off to RP, if you want!
2) When in a roleplay, you can only play as one of your main characters at a time. This means you can't have more than one of your main characters interacting in the roleplay. You also can't be roleplaying in more than one place.. even if you are roleplaying as a different character. If you are leading a story with a fellow roleplayer, however, you may use your one main character and side characters to give your story value.
3) Each post requires thirty words. Above the post button, it shows your word count. Until you achieve thirty words (c'mon, people - it's really not that hard), the post button will not work.
4) Like in the OOC Rules, literacy is a must. Capitalization where it is necessary and punctuation where it is appropriate, please and thank you.
5) No double-posting - simple. Also. The more people involved, set a posting order to keep things organized and to make sure no one is skipped and left behind.
6) You are not a god, therefore do not act like you are one. In other words, do not Godmod in battle and dodge every attack coming your way or land every attack you throw. If you want to have any advantages or disadvantages to make the story interesting, negotiate with the people you are roleplaying with.
(Death is very possible in this world. However, again, there would have to be negotiating amongst roleplayers if it's going to concern, say, one main character killing another person's main character for the sake of plot).
7) Extreme gore is very much allowed. In fact, gore makes a roleplay even better - you can feel the intensity going into the scene as blood viciously pours from a wound as a result of battle. However, what is NOT appreciated is when you are wandering through a field and come across a naked couple of roleplay characters having sex behind a bush. Not cool and thus not allowed. If you REALLY must have your characters doing the act, however, you could always take it to the Private Messaging system.
8) While straight up sex is not allowed on the normal roleplaying fields, things like boobie-fondling (LOL) and French-kissing is about the most graphic you are allowed to get.
9) Language is a bit more lenient during roleplay than on the normal ooc chat boards. If a character is known to swear like a bleeding sailor, then let them swear. That just adds to their character.
10) Try not to let a roleplay drag on beyond a day/attempt to stay active if you're going to start/join a roleplay. It's no fun when your characters have a sense of being frozen in time - never needing to sleep or eat or having to deal with other inconveniences.
That's it for the Roleplaying Rules! If you haven't already seen the OOC Rules, however, then you'd best go check up on them for your own sake~!
