♋ Prince Yuui ♋ yum_puddi _________________________________________ yum_puddi Hello! I suppose I could contribute to someone who usually go "Ugh, not this godmoders again." or some who made powerful characters but does not want to sound OP ("Overpowered", for those new to the term). Also, there have been many instance of multiple-characters RP degrading into a one-to-one, which is annoying for me to be honest.

BATTLE ETIQUETTES
As a foreword, I want to say some few thing in my mind first,
Though it might not be politically correct in real life, in the fantasy/fighting/alien world of roleplaying some people are better at it than others, some strong, some smart. It will be tempting to beef up in retaliation to a powerful character, but some times it can be stupid.
Unless it was planned, or they were change before the fight start, YOUR CHARACTER'S ABILITIES WILL BE THE SAME. That means an ordinary human cannot become the Chosen One with no mention of it beforehand while fighting a goblin. Or if you find it necessary, I suggest sending a PM, or asking in OOC for permission from your opponent, or the rp host first.
The term "godmode" may vary among RPs, but the general term for it is: Being indestructible with no justifying reasons.
So, a God of Darkness can obliterate a planet if he wants (and if he have permission from the opponent and the people affected by it, of course.), but a squirrel can't do the same (of course, again, unless that squirrel managed to get permission somehow)
And now, onwards.
What is T1/T2/T3?
If you haven't heard the term before, that's because there are other more commonly used terms for them. They're rules for fighting in RPs.
T1 is perhaps the only rule we need in a forum, it is what you see normally when a fight arise in roleplaying, though almost all have violated it because they don't know that the rules existed.
It is like a normal roleplaying post, except that at the end of the post of poster will initiate an attack. They cannot say that it hit, however, and it is to the opponent's discretion to be hit. Again, T1 requires decency to work. Almost all the times the attacks will be dodged, however, as the winner of T1 will have to be strategic (or accepted to be powerful enough). The way to win is to trap your opponent in a position where they will have to take your hits. Victory happens when one is incapacitated, or in a few roleplays where it is possible, dead.
In short:
1> You must use proper grammar and punctuation.
2> No typos allowed. Your post is void if you typo or misspell; it is then the other person's turn.
3> All moves must be written in the future tense. Nothing done, only suggested.
4> Your post must be over one paragraph long.
5> You cannot block then start an attack in the same move. However, counters are allowed.
Some mistakes can be forgiven, of course, if somebody is dyslexic or not English. But if you're posting at ridiculous speed then you're doing it wrong.
You can find a more detailed explanation here.

Posting Order
This is just a suggestion for many of you.
Most of you may think that quantity is better than quality when it comes to casual roleplay.
But if you ask me, what's the point of a casual roleplay if you can't enjoy it?
In a small roleplay, things tend to spiral into a one-on-one between the most active posters This is not good.
These are some of the suggested posting orders:
Strict: ABCD will always be ABCD. C cannot post until B does and B cannot post until A does. Skipping period, if any, is up to users involved.
Once per turn: Each person can post at any time but only once per round. So, ABCD one turn can be ADCB or BCDA the next.
Nested: Example using ABCDE. A approaches E and they engage a dialogue. BCD continue regular post order, and AE exchange conversation at their own pace inside of the larger order.
GM focused: The GM of a roleplay determines what the posting order is every round.
No order: Self-explanatory. A combination of nested and no order are what one usually finds in threads with a large number of players.
Nested is sometimes a good idea for roleplays with several characters with one ( or few) plot(s), while No order is quite useful for roleplays with several plots, like school roleplays.
What to ask for permission
1. "Apocalypse" attack in T1: A huge, reckless attack that is an overkill. If it sounds overpowered, that's because it is.
2. Killing: Obvious
3. "Autohitting" : sometimes it is hard to make a coherent post when you can only puppet one character. If you really feel to need to control other characters that aren't your NPCs (Note, "your"), you might want to ask the owner of those characters first.
There are more, but most of them are common senses.
