Okay these are the basic rules, I have a feeling that I will be changing these a lot and will probably add a fair few when I think of better ones
1. No god modding! it takes all the fun out of playing if someone has a character that can solve everything with his almighty powers.
2. No one has the most powerful player If I see anyone on here playing as if you own the world and will not play along unless it goes your way you will be punished as I deem fit.
3. You cannot kill another player not unless you have his or her permission to do so.
4. Keep it real what I mean by this is that even though its a fantasy world you have to keep it close to the set rules of this reality, no creating a 15 year old with super intelligence and supreme knowledge of martial arts and weapons of mass destruction.
5. Treatment of characters all I'm asking of you is that you treat someone elses character the way you would like your own character to be treated.
6. Out of character it's perfectly acceptable that your character does not like someone elses character in the story lines, however, this does not mean you can be mean to them out of character, harassing, and inappropriate behavior towards someone out of character will not be tolerated!
7. You have to make a biography before playing I'm sorry if you don't like this rule but really, make a biography and post it in the biography section of the boards, it's a lot easier to role play with someone if you can read up on what a players character is like.
8. No to all knowing even though you personally know how you want the story line to progress, does not mean that your character has that knowledge as well.
9. Your characters there is a standard bio format in the biography section, I'd prefer it if you would use that to make your bio, you can add things to it but leave the crucial information in there.
Furthermore, your characters are yours and yours alone, you make them, you play them.
10. Swearing, violence and sex they're not forbidden but do try to keep it in check just a little.
11. Spamming Don't do it...it's annoying, no one likes it! so just don't do it!
12. Your characters I know it's tempting to drag a character from another board you're playing at into this one, but it just won't work. There's too many factors to be dealt with when you do so just come up with original characters, it's okay that they have the same name and all, just don't tie their background to a seperate board. Unless discussed with an Admin.
Don't Powerpose!What the hell is powerposing?
Powerposing is when you do an action that forced or forces another character to do/react a certain way.
For example:
Joe grabs John in a headlock and pops off his head. He laughs and shows his super stupid strength and then does the same to Jane.
This my friends, infers that both John and Jane will stand idly by while allowing someone to come and rip their heads off.
So what is the proper way to rip someone's head off?
There isn't, a better example of a similar pose goes like this:
Joe advances towards John with his weapon drawn. Fully intent upon impaling John with his mighty blade, he rushes forth with a battle call, "To the death!"
(This in turn gives John a chance to react with options!)
John hears the cry and turns to face Joe. The glint upon the blade catches the man's eye causing the moments to pass by quickly. Having hesitated, he finds Joe's blade sinking within the leather of his right arm.
OR
John was ready for the charge as Joe's cry gives him fair warning. He parries the advancing blade and manages to turn himself about and attempt to draw forth his own blade.
As you can see, neither pose forces either player to bend to the will of the other.
Don't Metapose!
What is Metapose?
Metaposing is doing a pose that leaves nothing for others to react to due to mental imagry.
Example:
Jane makes her way into the village and looks over to Joe. She thinks Joe is hot with his mighty blade. She thinks to herself that she would like to get to know Joe so she continues to watch him hoping he will come talk to her.
OR
Jane sighs.
The latter of the examples leaves much more options for the other players to use when they reply.
NPC's also known as none player characters
These fine creations are basically filler personas, everyone can use them/post as them. You don't have to make a biography for them unless you feel really attached to the character and would rather not have someone else post as them.
those are all the rules for now!
1. No god modding! it takes all the fun out of playing if someone has a character that can solve everything with his almighty powers.
