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 make your profile and head off to RP, if you want!
2) When in a roleplay, you can only play as one character at a time. This means you can't have more than one of your 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.
3) Each post requires thirty words. Below 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.
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 landing every attack that you throw - it is the character levels and statistics that decide the battle. There are no unfair/illegal advantages.
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, there is the ~Burning With Desire~ board. Password = "lust".
8) While straight up sex is not allowed on the normal roleplaying fields, things like boobie-fondling (LOL) and French-kissing is the most graphic you are allowed to get. If you really want to get semi-graphic in a normal RP. Near-nudity is also allowed so long as it is on vague terms. Topless, occasionally, yes (since there are some races that feel more natural without a top). Exposed lower privates, no. If a character were to have their lower privates exposed to others, then it would most likely be for the purposes of sex (which is only allowed on the ~Burning With Desire~ thread). So no. I am lenient but not that lenient - take it to the pervy thread.
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) Obey the rules and have fun!
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~!
