The Very Basics and Format (this is recommended for those who have never RP, not required):
This is the format of your character talking:
"Hello? Anyone home?"
This is the format of your character actions:
:: Walks around the room to see if there is anybody here... ::
This is the format of your character thinking:
/Oookk.......... this could be a problem.../
-or-
Oookk.......... this could be a problem...
Put it all together:
"Hello? Anyone home?"
:: Walks around the room to see if there is anybody here... ::
/Oookk.......... this could be a problem.../
-or-
Oookk.......... this could be a problem...
Now, the rules in RPing:
NOTE: This is tentative. It maybe changed depending on how the board goes.
... if you have any questions or someone is breaking the rules (<< especially this), please do PM me.
1) Do not "god-mod" as what I learned recently in Final Fantasy Tales. Meaning that you cannot severly injure/amputate/kill a member's character (the person you are RPing with) without the consent of the member him/herself.
This also includes not deeming one self to be invinicible. The character must be defeated/KO by standard means (rule number 3) at some point in time UNLESS it is restricted to a storyline (just not a storyline about killing random people... that is god-modding). The character must have some sort of weak point to stop it on its track. The character does not have to die until you feel it is the time. Most importantly, be responsible of what are you doing. Just follow these simple guidelines and all is well.
Of course, I am not asking to not help a member if he/she him/herself by storyline means get injured. In other words, do not be a player killer unless you planned this out... like a storyline for example.
Please PM me and/or use the Storyline Board of those involved in a storyline. That way, I know it is planned out at least.
2) Do not disrespect each other. This is pretty obvious. Simply, do not be a idiot. This includes no swearing in and out of character.
3) Have at least decent, proper grammar and spelling. Back in the day when Infinity (or maybe before that for I cannot remember) used to run FFT, I heard of someone named Gravekeeper a.k.a GK who had grammar and spelling so horrible that no one understood him. There was also "improper cybering" he had done but that is another rule.
4) Do it by reason. What I mean by this is that you must go through certain obstacles to get what you need for your character. I will can take this lightly hopefully knowing that most people will do this responisibly to not over-power themselves without reason, let alone travel fairly (hopefully you remember your way around the FF worlds... if not, it is all right just as long as you remember that you must resort to world portals to go to other FF worlds). But that does not mean I am not going to forget this. I'll look into this time from time...
5) If your character dies for any reason/has a status ailment (Pertify, Poison, Slow, etc.), please stay by the original FF rules. >>>> Meaning if you die or such, you must actually stay in that state until someone revives/cures you. Of course, if you feel that are you are forgotten in the amist of the RP posting, just post something to let them know you're still in a negative status from time to time.(ex - [Character's name] = [KO], [Character's name] = [Stone])
Minor note about ground/water/air travel: Just remember to subject on what world and destination are you heading (ex: FF8 - Balamb to Timber). At this point, other members are free to come in like in other worlds... so expect surprises... unless you planned it out of course...
Anyhow, I ask for at least decent grammar and spelling that is understandable; no shortcuts (lol, brb, wtf, etc.).
First warning: warning via PM
Second Warning: temporary ban (length depended on situation and/or rule broken)
Thrid and thereafter: length of banning increases until to permanent ban.
