This set of rules is specifically for the roleplay sections located in the forums. Roleplaying is lots of fun and very enjoyable. However, to ensure that everyone has a good time, I have taken the liberty of creating rules for this board.
After you finish reading these rules, write your name down so that we know you have read the rules and will abide by them. Only then may you Roleplay.
1. Nothing above pg-13.
As stated in the forum rules, nothing above pg-13 will be allowed in roleplays (i.e. Hard core sex scenes, swear words every other sentence or word, BLOODY GORE I mean like blowing heads off and describing it in detail).
2. Post must be at LEAST three sentances long.
Nobody likes it when someone comes in posts two words. (i.e. Nicki blinked). In order to nurture your writing skills we ask that your roleplay posts be at least three sentances long.
3. Keep to the plot of the roleplay.
If you join a roleplay, chances are the person who created the roleplay had a theme in mind (i.e. Deidara and Tobi are on a mission to capture a monster.) Don't make up your own plot! If the plot is about Deidara and Tobi finding a monster, have your characters correspond with the storyline! Don;t have your characters go off by themselves and start playing cards or something...unless it pertains to the story. (i.e. Kara tripped over her own two feet in her dash for safety. (next post) Kisame decided to eat a butterfly.) See what I mean? It ruins the story. So don't do it.
4. If you join a Roleplay stick it out till the end.
Now I know you all have busy lives and such, but if you join a roleplay, log on the site, but only post in the RP once it kinda ticks people off. In other words, don't join a roleplay unless you intend to finish.
5. Roleplay's should be in book format!
When I say book format, I mean this;
Correct
Nicki trudged along the beach shore looking for something, anything, that could help her in her quest. With a sad sigh, the little experiment continued to scour the beach only resting when they came upon a tiny little sphere. Without hesitation, Nicki ran over towards the unknown object and picked it up.
"Wow what a great find! I can't wait to show Lilo!"
(crappy but it gets the point across)
Incorrect
Nicki: *looks over beach area and discovers a small object.* WOW what a great find! I can't wait to show Lilo!
6. No Mary (or Gary)-sues or power playing.
Okay for those of you who don't know what a Mary-sue is, a Mary-sue is typically a character who is "unbeatable", has no weaknesses ( or VERY few), and is ultimatley sucessful all the time.
Example of a Mary sue;
A tall rich beautiful girl or guy, who has all these abilities, hardly ever loses, and always gets there way.
an example of a more developed character;
A girl or guy who has powers, but are balanced out by weaknesses. They sometimes lose a fight and don't always get their way.
See what I mean? Mary-sues aren't really fun to roleplay with.
As for power playing? Powerplaying is when you roleplay using the other roleplayers characters. What I mean when I say this is,
Say Lugia and I both were roleplaying using our lilo and stitch characters and, as we were roleplaying, we had our experiments get into trouble. I'll show what isn't right.
Lugia's post: Snoogy jumped in the air in an attempt to avoid the sudden blast from the cannon. Her heart was racing furiously when she realized just how close she had been to getting destroyed. Her eyes narrowed showing that she was now getting serious and that she wouldn't be taking anything lightly anymore.
My post: Mandy dipped and dodged, trying to avoid the barrage of bullets that were cascading through the sky. Just as Mandy was about to use her powers in hopes of destroying the machine, She saw Snoogy in a dire situation. Mandy ran over and bumped Snoogy out of the way and gave her a quick smile.
Snoogy smiled back and got to her feet giving Mandy a quick hug and then began to growl menacingly at the scientists controling the machine.
Do not do this please.
