 A Few Rules for Good Roleplay
Role Play Thread
|
Basic guidelines for the group roleplayers. PLEASE read these if you plan to join others in a storyline. Good roleplay is wonderfully creative and entertaining, and this will help you get the most out of the experience.
Shanghai Sam Says:
Show respect for other people's storytelling efforts, and they will, in turn, show respect for yours, which means following a few rules:
1. Talk with and ask permission before you use another character in your posts. As a general rule, most folks are more than happy to be a part of your storyline, but sometimes they may have a plot line of their own they are trying to develop.
2. When you do use another's character, and/or are writing with someone else and include them in your post, double-check with them that the words and actions you are posting are in keeping how that character would truly speak or act.
3. Keep in mind that whether or not you become actively involved in what is happening in a story is completely up to you. If you wish to develop a storyline with someone whose writing and character interest you, then approach them and ask if they would be willing to do something with you. Do not expect others to read your mind and know that you are available. You can always buy 'em a drink right here.
4. You may not kill or harm any other character without their express permission. This one's a BIG no-no, and includes killing off their family, pets, that's right, even the yak, or stealing something valuable without permission. If anything like that happens, Sam'll be getting of those celestial or wizardy types to make the post disappear--bad karma for you!
See, now that wasn't so bad was it. Have another of Sam's Specials. It'll really get those creative juices flowing!
