Boot Camp Executive Officer

Introduction
If you've been sent here don't get discouraged my friends, it only means that we want to help you improve your Roleplaying skills in order to have the most enjoyable experience possible here at Shinobi's Blood. But aside from this touchy-feely introduction the crew member here will be giving you nothing but constructive criticism, for your benefit of course. In Boot Camp for the most part each individual will get a different scenario to test and improve their literacy skills in, with some overlap in ideas/topics. Your instructor will also be part of the temporary roleplay, while also offering advice and criticism as you go along. For more in depth info on how Boot Camp works just keep on reading for more information.
Basic Rules
• Be as literate as humanly possible.
• 3rd person only please, if you have trouble with it that's what your here for.
• Punctuation, spelling, and grammar should be your main points of concentration.
• No posts less than one paragraph in length.
• This is a role play environment - RP as a story.
• You are done with Boot Camp and permitted to join the RP only when your assigned instructor feels you are ready.
• Any conflicts you may have with your instructor come to me or your Guild Captain Tailz.
• All crew members are expected to take up an instructor posistion if needed, most will be done by myself, Tailz, and a third volunteer.
Rules are subject to changes/updates.

Tips and Tricks
• Be descriptive, but not overly so. We don't need you to explain every animal that passed by in detail or explain to us the different kinds of plants you see. We want to see things more along the lines of imagery, help us paint a picture in our mind of where your character is. If you can get someone to easily imagine the place your describing you've done a good job.
• Although being literate is sometimes a gift, it's usually just the product of proper teaching. Remember grammar, punctuation, and spelling are the key elements of literacy. Don't be afraid to use spell check, or even copy and paste your posts into a word document and looking over it before posting.
• If your stuck or have a problem don't be afraid to ask, at Shinobi's Blood we have a great crew always ready to help out new members. First step is to ask your instructor, and second is to take it to Tailz if your instructor couldn't quite help you well enough.

Your First Post
• Your first post should be about setting up the story to a point. We'll give you a plot and a basic storyline to begin with but the setting, meaning the scenery, people around you, and most importantly your character are to be created by you. This is a fairly important thing being that if you can't begin a story, how can we expect you to continue one with the rest of us?
• These are just spur of the moment roleplays to test your skills and help improve them, neither the story or your character will carry over to the main roleplay directly. That's not to say that the theme of Naruto won't come up in Boot Camp.

Welcome to the Shinobi's Blood Boot Camp, use this time and instruction wisely.
A note from our gracious leader, Tailz:
Just remember kids, if you were sent here, it's obviously because there was something wrong with your RPing, whether it be bad grammar, bad spelling, or any of the things on the "Anti-Munch" list. We'll give you two warnings to fix the problem (which won't be mean, just a heads up). If you don't fix the problem by the third post, your character will be temporarily taken out of action, and you'll be referred to the Boot Camp to help you fix whatever problem you were sent for.
Bitching at us will get you nowhere, and in fact, it's liable to piss us off. If you get sent here, remember that we're here to help you become a better RolePlayer, not that we're mean, nasty, fire-breathing dragons who love to embarrass you. In fact, we'll more then likely send you here discreetly, so no one knows about it, and when you leave, we'll delete your posts so no one bears witness to your humiliation. If you rage at us and be a total troll/flamer/whatever, and we tell you to stop, it's two strikes, you're out. If you don't listen the first time, we'll suspend you for a week. If you come back and immediately start bitching again, you'll be banned for all of eternity.
Text speak is okay in OoC, just not in general RolePlaying.
