~ Roleplay Guidelines ~
Quote:
-- No Godmodding!
What this means is, no taking control of another person's character or roleplaying through a dynamic scene without giving them a chance to respond.
Example of UNACCEPTABLE roleplay:
Maia leaps up, and with a deft slash of her blade, she strikes the beast down before it even has a chance to raise its claws in attack!
Example of ACCEPTABLE roleplay:
Maia draws her shortsword and charges at the beast, raising her blade to strike as she nears it.
The acceptable form allows other players to add in what their characters will do in the scenario. Remember, you're roleplaying for YOUR character... no one else's!
-- No excessive foul language or violence.
Though many Taurs are skilled in the arts of war and have more than their fair share of conflicts, there's no need to get graphic with the blood scenes. And while I don't mind occassional cursing, don't make it so regular and so vulgar that it burns our eyeballs out to read it.
-- No blatant sex in this forum!
Romance and allusions to the act are fine -- but if you really want to cyber with your characters, take it to AIM or someplace, please. (Our guild could get banned for allowing that sort of thing, too.)
-- Remember some standard rules of RP etiquette:
- Please use parenthesis (( )) to denote out of character (OOC) speaking during an RP session.
- If someone has a post listed as a private RP between a small group of people, please respect that... don't just barge in with your character unless you ask first, or are invited.
- I try not to be a spelling and grammar nazi, as I know everyone's spelling and grammar differ. But do try to form coherent sentences and put some thought into your RP posts... it makes it easier and more enjoyable for others to respond.
