ROLE PLAYING BOARD Guidelines

• Do not spam in this board! Here are examples of spamming if celtics34dude and I were posting in a RPG thread:
  
  • "Daniel walked near celtics34dude."
    
  • "Celtics34dude hit him."
    
  • "Daniel screamed." (in short, please make your RPGS detailed and not boring as then the RPG board will have no use).
    
  
  
  
• Do not kill, hurt, or perform a harmful or unwanted action on another member in an RPG without their permission.
  
  
• Do not barge in a Private RPG without first getting the thread creator's permission (more on this in the Private and Open RPGS).
  
  
• If you are the creator of an RPG and you want a minimum sentence requirement, you must say so in YOUR FIRST POST! And if a member does not meet the posting criteria then you can inform me via the Report to Admin link. If I catch someone not posting enough, I will just inform them that the thread creator wants lengthy posts. If members continue to disrespect a member's RPG thread, they will be warned. Also, sentences should be of a normal length and not like these:
  
  • "Hi," he replied.
    
  • "Wow."
    
  • I ran.
    
  • She waved. (These sentences are too brief for RPG.)
    
  
  

In an effort to increase orginization on this site, and noting that many people will want some RPGs to themselves, I have decided to set Private and Open RPGS.

A thread with "

" before the thread title, means that the thread is PRIVATE! In other words, here is what a private rpg is:

1. New members should not simply click on a

thread and post RPGs in that thread.

2. If you want to join a thread, please contact the thread creator for more information.

3. The thread creator should take it in his/her responsibility to mark a thread as

or [O] and also state, preferably in the first post, WHO SHOULD BE POSTING IN THE THREAD!

So if someone made a thread and said:

Members Allowed To RPG:

-Adskjfas (made up member)
-aslkdh (made up member)

then this other made up member: ldsjf88 should not post in the thread, rather he/she should contact the thread creator.

---

On the other hand, OPEN [O] RPGS are threads that allow ANYONE to join! You do not need to ask the thread creator or anything like that--just join in the fun!


I hope that has helped some of you. Please, if you have questions, comments, suggestions, post them.

Um I have a question, can we act what others do, or just ourselves?

[Daniel Tak]

To some extent, you may do so. Example: Daniel Tak struck at celtics34dude. Celtics winced slightly, but didn't back off.

Try not to do this excessively, though.

[Scarecrow]

Actually, in every RP board I've been a part of, the cardinal rule for roleplaying is to NEVER act out someone else's action.

Although considering this is your board, I guess the choice is really up to you. But it has become a pet peeve of mine when people act out what I do.

[Underrated]

All right. I think we should just allow members to act out others actions once in a while, or if it's required in order to complete that scene or something like that... but don't do stuff like Celtics34dude killed Daniel Tak.

[Scarecrow]

yeah, like if somebody just sorta stops posting in one and the whole thing is waiting on him I could see how it would be acceptable.

[Daniel Tak]

I agree with what you two discussed.

[Dragon Yoshi]

good thing too because daniel was off for a while so yankies and i had to make some reason for him to be gone

[Underrated]

We did, and you spelled my name wrong

[Dragon Yoshi]

what ever... i'm not great at spelling!

[Underrated]

My name is no longer Yankees. Now it's easier for you to spell my dn now eh.
