Subject: Role Play Rules | |||||
| (as previously posted by Darggie) When you Role Play, you cannot say something about someone else's character without consulting them first. Example I can't say "SilenceAlliance came storming out of the tavern after losing a bet" Even though he probably did, HE might not have. If you get someones view of something that happened in a past event, make sure you contact anyone that is included in that past event to see if they agree. REMEMBER YOUR TIME PERIOD! Dark Warriors is a land based around Medieval times. Magic, swords, bows and more is abundant here. (no things like cars, guns, colleges *rolls eyes at Sarabi*) While no colleges, they might have been academies of magic. OR monasteries for those learning the lore. Time and place rule: you cant intrude on something in say..a bedroom or cabin in the woods unless..you've a good reason to be nearby..or its loud enough to attract attention or..you are mind touched or sensitive enough to one of the players to feel something calling you to show up. You also cant have the most powerful magic..it has to be earned..the name i use here..has a very long past to her.but i still wouldn't use it all unless its against someone with equal abilities. You cannot role play official characters that have been copy-righted. I don't know them all so if someone seems someone doing this, report it to me. (more to come, must confer with a few role playing buddies first) Do not engage in actual sexual activity through words. THIS IS NOT A CYBER CHAT. Furthermore, previously posted by DarkwingTwili ROLE PLAY COMMON SENSE NOTE: Now mind you, these aren't really rules, just common sense to help you avoid stepping on anyone's toes and well being pwned in RP. ~ 1 Please, please, for the love of all RP... do not assume someone you never rped with is in your rp because they pop into the chat. That's a no no. Why? Well there's only one RP chat and a millions places their character could be. So just cause some people are in the chat doesn't always mean they're in the same rp as you. ~ 2 Under no circumstances should anyone barge into another's RP to 'save the day' without permission of the one that made the rp. Okay? That's just rude and asking for a tongue lashing from other players. If you're not in the rp then do NOT interfere. Rule or not, its common sense. ~ 3 Don't beg to be part of the rp... it's just annoying. If you ask and don't answer you right away, then it's one they're ignoring you or two they're typing their posts for their rp and if you just wait they may answer. But if they say no, then please don't whine about it. That makes you lose points in respect. ~ 4 Since its your rp, you can be detailed as you like or vague. But if you're going to be detailed in gory death scenes... don't be that detailed. As cool as it would be... it will disturb the other players. As well as not want to RP with you for those gory details. So be careful. ~ 5 Under NO circumstances (as a god, entity, deity or what the hell ever) should anyone else change or control another player's character. NEVER do this. Why? It's rude, its godmoding and its a pain in the freakin' ass. Unless you have the other player's permission to change their character or control them and even then, you better be very careful because its still NOT your character. {I'm sorry, for leaving that out, I had completely forgotten all about it.} ~ 6 Please, for the sake of the game... Please don't have any nude or near nude characters run about. Whether living in the forest, in a cave or under a damn rock, have the decency to keep your characters covered in the important areas. Even the wild girls wear a top and small skirt made from animal skins as clothes. Besides, there's little kids playing this game, don't need a lawsuit because a mom looked over her kids' shoulders and sees someone roleplay a near naked person. Keep that in mind. ~ 7 Okay, we obviously need to do something with the over done OOCing... How about this... if it really has nothing to do with RP try to keep it out of RP Chat. Or say what you need in a little post then leave it alone, if someone needs to ask more about it, then you can mail them more about it or use the chat bar. And yes, I'm also talking to the other RPers that ooc a lot. If its a private thing then I'm dead serious on keeping it out of RP chat all together, we all don't need to know about it and RP Chat isn't a second Local Chat. If it happens to do something with your characters, rp or what rp you want to do. That's fine, but if there's another rp going try to keep it as simple and to the point as possible to lessen the overflow of OOCing. ~ 8 This goes strongly with Common Sense 2. I don't care, okay? No one freaking cares that you're dying to RP with them. IF YOU DIDN'T ASK TO BE PART OF THEIR RP, STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE OTHER PERSON(S)' RP! Do NOT intefere, wiggle, or cry your way in. That is rude. If you're not allowed in by more than one (depending on big the group is within their story), then please accept it and don't pressure anyone. ~ 9 Random is fine, fun. So are plot twists, who wouldn't like a good plot twist? Thing is... please try not to over do it. Its annoying. You can only do so much random and plot twisting before you just piss people off. If you joined another's rp, please bear in mind and regard their feelings before you start random shit. Over plot twisting (as in plot twist every freaking post you make) is considered by the more serious rpers as spam since its ripping apart an rp. And you will likely gain hatred and be kicked out of their story if you can't behave and control yourself. If you want to be comic relief, fine, just make sure and control your actions. Added on by Fintan_de_Marin Grammar. There is no excuse for not using it. That means use correct capitalization, punctuation (effort on that since very few use it and create horrible run on sentences.) and make a good attempt at spelling. Not using proper grammar is nothing but laziness. No leet speak, if your character laughs don't type ''lol'' it's role play for a reason, use (insert character name) laughs. Honestly it's not that hard I would also like to point out that some people are way into RPing that they come up with elaborate stories. Now I understand that in some cases you NEED to God mod to get through a part of your story or one of your characters is as such. Please ASK the others that may be participating before you do so, even if you've discussed it before (we don't want newbies thinking that you think you're above the rules). |
