Hey Everyone!
I know we're all eager to roleplay..heck, I am, I've been doing it for over two years, and lovin' it! xd
*****But we need to lay down some ground rules*****
Rules:
* If you create a roleplay, you cannot claim the best/main/most important/etc. character
It's just simply not fair. You may, however, say that you want to play her, and anyone may dispute your claim. If someone (or several someones blaugh ) also want to play the character, you must give them a chance.
If this happens, then we will revert to Plan B - A Judge (The Pesident - Akemii, A Vice - Myself, Jesus_Freak_Girl or Dark Kitten) will take your roleplay examples. So you try to play the character as best you can in a roleplay post. The best - meaning the most authentic, most like the actual charry, wins. Completely fair. And if you dont keep up with your character the one of the mods have a right to scrach you off the list and have it open.
* ABSOLUTLY NO GODMODDING.
For new roleplayers, this means no controling the roleplay by saying what other characters do.
* On connection to Godmodding - You can only control your own character. They belong to you and only you, just as other characters belong to other role players and only them.
* Please, try to keep the one-liners to a minimum.
This ia a roleplay - you BECOME the character. Say what they feel, how they look, etc.
EXAMPLE: Do not say "She was afraid." Say "She trembled with fear, swaying slightly in the cold breeze, as they advanced towards her menacingly. Tears began to slide down her pretty face, and she simply watched them come. The tiny woman stands no chance. She stands and cries, waiting, hoping, praying for her savior to come and rescue her..." The second's a lot better, right? Not to mention the other roleplayers can reply better to a better post. SO DON'T SKIMP!
* No Mary-Sues!
For the newbies, a "Mary-Sue" is a perfect character.
There is no perfection in real life, and since Roleplaying = a partial reality, as another HUMAN (or other imperfect creature), please, don't make them perfect. It just ruins the originality and reality. So ditch the perfection. Flawed characters are the way to go. They're more fun to play anyways ^.^
* No Chatspeak (lol, u, ppl, etc.) or sTiCkY CaPs or L3TT3RS L1K3 TH1S.
It's just pain annoying. Not to mention hard to read and difficult to reply to. So don't do it. Simple.
This is it for now. I think they are all fair - basicly, they say to do your best, respect the other role players, and be completely fair. Isn't that what we all want?!?
Please don't hate me! I'm just trying to make these roleplays the best they can be, and fair to everyone.
THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF ALL: HAVE FUN!
<3 Helen ^.^
P.S. If anyone wants to talk about this, tricks of the trade, or just to simple rp one-on-one, feel free to pm me! XD
P.P.S. I shouldn't need to post consequences...just follow the rules. But If I need to, I (or President or another vice) will give 2 warnings, then take action. We're all adults here, we shouldn't need to give out warnings, let alone more then one. Oh, and...Wouldn't your rather not find out what happens after those 2 warnings...?
