Threads should be marked according to what they are for.
[PD] - RP between Pocky Boys for Growth Requirements.
[ORP] - Open Roleplay (Anyone can join, with a Pocky Boy or without)
[PRP] - Private Roleplay. (Non-playdate RP)
[SRP] - Shop Roleplay, these are started by the shop for events.
And follow the RP rules in the thread.
:: RolePlay Rules ::
- o1. Every pocky boy is required to be roleplayed in playdates in the guild for growth requirements.
o2. Roleplaying must be done in third person format. No first person or non-serious RPing (i.e. Name: wha? *does something)*.
o3. Please try to include everyone in open RPs. Don't exclude people.
o4. Try to be as literate as possible. Our goal is semi-lit so please, try to have no posts under four sentences.
o5. No god-moding, auto kills, killing, etc. I'd hope this shop to be more peaceful than that. >A>
o6. Be active! If you know you will be gone/leaving, please find a way for your pocky boy to leave so role play isn't stalled.
o7. Follow the
:: Starting/Joining a RP ::
o1. Please mark what kind of RP it is. It doesn't do to have random people barging into a private RP, now does it?
o2. Make time to describe a setting and general plot if it's an open RP. It doesn't have to be overly detailed, but it should give others something to go off of.
:: Don't forget! ::
o. Put OOC in brackets.
o. Make sure people can tell between thoughts, spoken words, and actions.
o. Don't take what a character says to heart and keep OOC tiffs out of role play and take them to PMs.
:: Growth Requirement Notes ::
o. Only RP's marked as Play Dates [PD] will count towards growth requirements. Any marked as [PRP], [ORP], [SRP], or [FIN](with no [PD] marker) will not count.
- Any RP started after April 7th, 2011 marked as PRP will not count towards growth requirements. Any started before that have not already been counted towards growth(see below), please change the tag if you wish it to continue counting.
o. Unfinished Play Dates require a certain number of posts before they will count towards growth requirements. Finished play dates with less than 15 posts will not count.
o. A Play Date with 2 Pocky Boys requires 20 posts to count (10 posts per Pocky Boy).
o. A Play Date with 3 or more Pocky Boys requires 2 extra posts from each participant per extra participant. (i.e. 5 pocky boys, 16 posts each, 80 total posts) This is because Play Dates are more for Pocky Boys to get to know other Pocky Boys better, and with there being more involved, some might not be as interacted with. Also to encourage more intimate (take that as you will, but meant in a non-romantic way for explanation) relations.
o. Playdates with Pocky Bishies require double the amount of posts from the Bishies to count towards the Pocky Boy's growth requirements. As it's preferable for two Pocky Boys to get PD points rather than just one.
- The exception to this is if there the Pocky Bishie is the guardian of one of the Pocky Boys. The Pocky Bishie counts as a guardian instead of a participant of the PD.
