Hello members. The RPG section DOES have rules, and they WILL be enforced, so if I were you, I would strongly consider reading and paying attention to the following rules.
15 (lol) Role-Playing Essential Rules
# 1 - No asterisk (*) in members' posts. This means that when Role-Playing, you cannot have content like:
*walks up to Roberto holding a cup of tea*
"Hey, this will make you feel better"
*Hands cup of tea to Roberto*
The way of Role-Playing should be the following one:
Moria walked up to Roberto, a hot cup of tea in her hands.
"Hey, this will make you feel better", she whispered, handing the cup into his frozen hands.
# 2 - No one-line posts. If you have not much to say, and it isn't enough to fill one-line of text, then fill it in using more adjectives, verbs, nouns, and any words that can make the post more interesting and interactive. Just if possible.
# 3 - No killing other Role-Player's Character unless you both hold an agreement about it and get a way of making it flow into the current storyline.
# 4 - The use of proper language is essential. This means no overuse 'bad words' in the RPG. You know what these words are, no need to name them. (Or we could refer to them as "curse words", too). Now then, you MAY be able to use improper language to add realism to the dialogue, but please do not curse too many times, and please, by all means, try to keep it classy and absolutely necessary.
# 5 - Trying to keep on storyline and not creating your own in every post would be appreciated. Yeah, you can build up your past a little, but try not creating a whole different story from the current RPG.
# 6 - All OOC posts will be in the OOC thread for the RP. No exceptions.
# 7 - No use of Smilies when In-Content posts.
# 8 - No harassing other members about their characters, no arguing about their Role-Playing decisions. If you wish for a Storyline to follow the Plot you desire, PM the respective Role-Player and agree in a way of making the Storyline between both characters as you both wish it.
# 9 - No overpowerful characters. i.e: "My character can't be injured because of this and that". That's just cheap.
# 10 - Try creating characters that do not lack creativity. Think big and try to make the best character of them all when joining an RPG! And please, stick to character.
# 11 - No double-posting, and no General Chatting. If no one posts, either wait, or send them a PM to reply.
# 12 - No netspeak. i.e: "hey how r u i hope u r doin fine 2 day". It's stupid. Only exception is an oddly specific event in which texting is involved. And only then, will it be used as a way to show the text verbatim.
# 13 - No God-Modding if possible. This means, controlling another character someone else is in charge to play in obvious excession. I will please ask you to take this rule in count. If you are stuck in a situation and the user you need to RP with you is not on, you are allowed to. Only if it's an emergency, though.
#14 - Double posting in the OOC section is alright, but try to keep it to a minimum.
#15 - All RP pitches and Sign-Ups will be held in OOC, so as to prevent clutter in the actual RP thread. This means, you literally post the RP AND Signup sheet in the same thread in OOC. Once you're ready to start the RP, you just begin posting in the RP section.
And remember: Try to keep your sighing and smirking to a minimum.
