Rules. Read them.
♥General Rules
1. No Godmodeling.
2. Be literate and use good grammar.
3. No killing without the permission of the one being killed.
4. No spamming.
5. Follow the TOS
6. Follow the 'maker' of the RP's rules.
7. Try to use complete sentences and well grammar. Put a SPACE after a period and comma. This is a BIG pet pieve. I will personally edit your post and insert it if I have to. You will only get three warnings you are are OUT.
8. Use a color, make sure that it is readable.
9. This is a literate RP. So please no "" or ** for actions. AKA write like a story. I would prefer if you used this style but it is actually up to the maker's rules.
10. You may not give your thread a rating higher than PG-13. It violates the ToS, and your thread WILL be deleted if you don't fix it after one warning.
11. Be willing to be active!
13. Capital letters are your best friend. This is after all a literate RP guild. Spaces after periods and commas, punctuation inside quotation marks, end quotes with commas (not periods), put dialog in quotes, put thought in italics, spell as well as you can, use apostrophes for contractions, never write one-liners.
14. We discourage profanity outside of context. Characters cursing up a storm is okay if the author permits it, but between players, using profanity to insult one another is frowned upon. If you see this and are offended, please tell a mod.
♥Participants of a RP rules
1. Follow my rules
2. Follow RP authors' rules.
♥Forum Maker Rules
1: You must take down your 'OPEN' word on the subject after a week or after your RP is full. If you need people, leave it up until you have enough, and then take down your 'NEED _ guys/girls! PEOPLE' or whatever!
2: Keep your RP up-to-date. If you are done with it or it dies, put 'CLOSED' in the title.
3: Keep note of my rules.
4: Be fair with yours.
5. We strongly discourage format requirements.
(This includes, but is not limited to, requiring size 9 font,
requiring pictures/decorations in posts,
or requiring formatting that is not found in
novels, such as bolding of dialog, etc.)
Welcome
to 'Tips to making a successful Role Play. Here is where I will offer tips and other suggestions on how to get a successful RP. It is still in the process of being created. This is your basic format, if you want to do otherwise, you may still be able to use some of this information. If you do like these tips, feel free to use them. If you don't, then use them however you may like.Title
When making a title, you want it to be original, but yet something that is unordinary. Using Big words and different symbols draws eyes, getting you more people to be interested in your RP. Make sure that you spell things the way they should be. If someone sees that you misspelled a lot of words, they will most likely turn away.
Introduction
When one introduces the role play, you will want to include as much detail as possible that get the general picture to the reader. Use punctuation correctly, and make sure that you spell as much things correctly as possible. Make it eye catching and as interesting as possible. People like new things, so be creative.
Rules
You want to come up with as little rules as you can. If you have a big list, it may turn away customers. I know I wouldn't want to RP and have to worry about a million rules. We already have your basic rules covered, but add in some that will have to be applied to your RP. Also, be sure that you never specify a rating higher than PG-13: this violates the ToS and you will have to change it.
Character Information
The more character information, the better. The more information people have about your RP character, will make the RPing better to participate in. It will give one a more detailed picture about your personal character and their background.
Story Lines
Some people like story lines. Some don't. Some like to make it up as they go. These are all good options. It depends on what kind of RP you want to do. Whatever you feel like doing, and if you have a story line, don't bail. Keep up with it. It will let people down and they would be disappointed. If you don't want to write a story line, though, keep in mind that you're more likely to have a flop, because if there's no story, there's not much to RP about. (School RPs often have this problem, since usually everyone ends up wandering around with nothing new and interesting to do or involve themselves in.) A good way around no story line is to have events happen, like parties or games or fights.
