Specifically Internet Role Playing NOTHING TO DO WITH D&D or dice based RP's (RP short for Role Playing)
(God Mode-ing not mod)
God-Moding. As in you are invincible or changing your character from the original characteristics and traits.
THE MOST NOTICABLE EXAMPLES
I've already set up my character's specifics, traits, powers weapons and all that. I cannot out of the blue just give my character some new power from nowhere. UNLESS another character bestows this upon me via spell or whatnot
NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE says you cannot dodge magically, physically or otherwise a missle type weapon/shot. Such as arrow or ray gun or actual missle. Even if you have teleportation powers the time it takes to do so to cast this will still get you shot and killed or wounded if you have armor.
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL things holy! don't drag your death out until someone takes pity on you and revives you. ITs rude and just plain annoying. Die with honor or I'll come shot your character in the head no way of reviving. And don't whip out some NPC player to come along either unfair.
Play fair, if you don't like how the story is going either start over, go back to a point in time OR if its a short post act like it didn't happen AND SAY SO.
(example Lexia walks up to the bar and orders ale. *bartender doesn't like this please repost differently* Lexia walks up to the bar, greet the barkeep and requests ale. OR avoids the bar in general.)
IF i've missed anything let me know. How do i know these general rules of RP? Because I was a newb/nOOb once and We all were at one time, BE NICE to the new people for they can complain to the creators and get us all in trouble. That and I've seen SO MANY PEOPLE play unfairly that it just turns me off of RP for so long I don't want to play for a while.
ALSO don't cyber in the main areas if you don't want to be banned or have others join. COMMON SENSE is key and not just with cyber. Common sense and courtesy PLEASE
NO One-liners which is a one line post or barely even a sentence. i crave descrptions please!
you don't have to para-rp either, Paragraph post which is an entire paragraph of response. TO me a paragraph is 5 to 12 sentences per paragraph. at least three sentences for the love of god!
MOST importantly if someone is being a nuisansse or breaking the rules DON'T try and handle it yourself this is what the Crew and Captains are for, tell them, let them deal with it and go on about your business! Trying to handle it yourself can get you in trouble or worse banned because you lost your temper.
THANK YOU and have fun!
