exclaim These are questions that Nova and i have found frequently asked about roleplaying, and making role plays. So please enjoy, and if you do have questions please ask! 3nodding

Q: What should my thread include when I make my first post?
A: Your first post should include basic info about what you like to roleplay. Listing topics will make it easier for someone to find a common roleplay with you. The more information you can post, the better. You can always use this format if you don't know what you should post:
1st: What genre of roleplay are you looking for? (Anime, videogames, books)
2nd: Any particular title for one of the genres. (Inuyasha, Final Fantasy X, Harry Potter)
3rd: How would I like to roleplay this? (PMs, AIM, MSNM, Barton Town, etc...)
4th: If your roleplay is not going to be done on Gaia, how can you be reached?


Q: Can I brainstorm with other Gaians to make a roleplay here?
A: Ofcoarse you can! However, it is encouraged to have atleast a basic plot to expand on. That way, you can post what situation would be great for a roleplay, and another user can add to it. Posting "Star Wars roleplay" really doesn't count as brainstorming, as it's just three words. Try to elaborate on what you think would be a good roleplay. That way other users have a good idea of what you are looking for. Having detail will also spark more interest in your RP.

Q: When I find a partner, should I change the title to something?
A: When you finish with a thread, changing your title to "RESOLVED" would help people know that you have finished with the thread. This way, less finished threads are bumped up by people thinking that you are still looking.

Q: Can I make help threads?
A: Making threads to instruct others in roleplaying is an awesome idea! However, when making a thread like this, you must show the information you are going to teach people who ask. Please do not make threads saying "I'll help you rp, pm me", or something to that effect.

Q: Can I advertise for existing roleplays?
A: Other roleplays being advertised in the Loonie is not allowed. However, recruiting for another roleplay is ok.

Q: Can I bump my thread?
A: We don't think the forum will move as fast as others, so we are asking you to only bump if your thread goes off the first page. That way, threads are not filled with bumps.
