Seeing as the first thread seemed to have vanished, I, Mizu_Taji, am here to give you a brief overview on how to start a roleplay and what the different abbreviations in the brackets mean.

Are you only looking for a certain section of this announcement? Here is the index!

1. Mizu's dumb intro
2. How to start a roleplay (very basic)
3. Abbreviations and you!

Sound like fun? Awesome! Lets go then!

Post 2. How to start a roleplay (a very basic how-to)

Ok, so you have been placed in charge of starting a roleplay. Awesome! Lets go over some rules to keep in mind:

1. Here in Mystic Mixers, most roleplays are to be placed here, in the main guild forum. You know where you clicked to open this thread? Go back there and hit the 'create new thread' button. Easy yes?

2. Thread titles. Figure out what type of roleplay this is, and make sure to bracket it accordingly (see next post for in depth explanation) Then give your roleplay thread any sort of name that partains to the setting (such as if your spawn are going to the park, an acceptable name could be 'park time' Have fun with it).

3. While not necessary, it is common practice to also place characters participating name in the title as well, usually in (parenthesis).

Then you just type out your first post and viola! Instant started thread! (okay, maybe not so instant, but you get my point)

For your aide, here is a sample roleplay thread title

[PRP] Park Time (Logan/Ballare)

Now, on to Bracket Abbreviations!

Post 3. Abbreviations and you!

Now, as you all have seen, all the roleplays have [brackets] with certain letters inside. These letters tell everyone what type of roleplay the thread is. Yes, there are differences, and I shall explain them now.

[A]-Arrival roleplay: This is a roleplay between you and Dgcakes in where your guardian character receives their child from the labs.
[M]-Meeting roleplay: This is also usually an rp with Dgcakes in which the child comes and meets one of the DNA donors or gets a check up from staff.
[PRP]-Private roleplay: This is a roleplay between predetermined people. If you are not part of this roleplay, do not post in it.
[ORP]-Open roleplay: This is a roleplay in which everyone and anyone is allowed to post in!
[OOC]-Out of character: This is a place where no roleplay goes on, only chatter and discussion by the players themselves.

More will come once I remember them! Hope this helps!
