Using the Roleplay OOC Subforum:


This subforum is for everything out of character for our roleplays. The roleplay OOC threads - the threads with the roleplay information, character profile skeleton, characters, etc. - go here, and here only. This is also the place for discussing roleplays, getting help/brainstorming for roleplays, etc. The actual roleplays do not go here. If you decide to create a roleplay, it is mandatory that you follow our rules.

Creating a Roleplay -
Considerations:


• Is your idea complete? If not, you can get help from other No Namers, but we would prefer that your idea is as complete as possible before creating a thread for it.

• Is there a roleplay that's similar to yours here already? If so, you might want to think of how you can make yours different, or maybe postpone its creation.

• Will our members like your idea? If you create a roleplay about Spongebob, it's unlikely that anyone here would want to join.

• If accepted, will your roleplay stay active? We ask that you're a part of one of our roleplays before you create your own so you can establish your activity in the guild. Of course, we can always take over your roleplay if you become inactive, but it makes it easier on all of us if you stick to it all the way through.


Creating a Roleplay -
Do's:


• Have an organized topic. Look at other roleplay OOCs for formatting examples.

• Follow the Roleplay Titling System

• Be sure your spelling/grammar is as correct as possible.

• Add pictures and descriptions of your roleplaying world. We want to be able to understand it as if we're actually in it.

• Expect that our Crew may ask you to make some changes before we accept your roleplay.

• Be sure to check your roleplay topic often. We may need to talk to you!


Creating a Roleplay
Do Not's:


• Post your thread if the plot is sloppy or incomplete. Take it to the Roleplay Brainstorm thread first.

• IMPORTANT - DO NOT fail to follow the Roleplay Titling System

• Get angry if your idea doesn't get accepted. Not everyone's does. It doesn't mean it's bad, it just means it's not what we're looking for right now.

The Roleplay Titling System:


It is of the utmost importance that you follow this correctly! The system allows members to easily see if a roleplay is under construction, pending, open, paused or accepting. Because you're using these symbols, you no longer need to write out things like "pending" or "accepting", and so it frees up space to include extra information in the title of your roleplay.


◘ Under Construction ( Alt 8 ) is used when you're still working on your roleplay. It will always go after the title.

▬ Pending ( Alt 22 ) is used when your roleplay has not yet been accepted. It will always go before the title.

♥ Accepting ( Alt 3 ) is used when your roleplay has been accepted and is now allowing characters in. It will always go after the title.

► Playing/Open ( Alt 16 ) is used when your roleplay has been accepted, has characters, and is now open to posting in the roleplay. It will always go before the title.

▌▌ Paused/Closed ( Alt 221 + Alt 221 ) is used when your roleplay has been accepted, has or does not have characters, has or has not been posted in, but is now paused due to some reason or another (could be inactivity or renovation). It will always go before the title.
