RP Guide : Rules

There are some rules that all rpgs have in common but often people tend to forget a couple of things here and there. Those few things they will probably remember once the rp starts and progresses. Here are all the rules that in my mind all rpgs should have, because these are things all rps and all admins should address. Of course if your plot demands certain changes or additions be sure to at them on! I don’t mind reblogs, or rpgs using these rules or taking tips from here, just make sure to give credit! 

(**All things in parenthesis not part of the rules**)

(It is important to make your rules as clear, and understandable as possible! A great way to do this is to divide them into categories and subcategories.)

(When using these rules for a rpg I would include application hints/passwords at the end of the different rules, to make sure from the application the rules were read)

Application Process

If You Take The Time To Read The Rules, Please Follow Them.
  • What is the point of you reading the rules if you do not plan on following them? So make sure to keep these rules in mind the whole time you are actively participating in this RPG! Specially the rules of posting, they are not negotiable. Breaking rules will lead to warnings, and consequences. 
Make Sure To Read The Plot
  • It is extremely important that you read the plot thoroughly before applying! We stress this because we don’t want you to join just because you find our graphics, bios, or shortened plot interesting. We want you to join after liking out plot, after understanding it, and knowing that you will be able to do it justice!
Please Make Sure To Enable Your Ask Box Before Applying.
  • We would like to be able to easily contact you if we have any concerns with your application, if we’ve accepted you, or if we've rejected you. We will almost always want to contact you through the Ask function of the account you’re applying from, so please do check to see if you have that function enabled. 
Make Sure To Fill Out The Application To It's Entirety. 
  • It is very important, and highly stressed that you fill out every part of the application. If you are confused on any part please don’t hesitate to ask an Admin will be glad to help you out. Strive to make your application as detailed as possible so hopefully it will stand out from the rest. 
Character Reservations (Change According To Preference)
  • At this time we are accepting reservations on characters, all reservations will last for 24 hours. If you have not applied within this time frame you will loose your reservation. 
  • A reservation means that from the time it was made to the time it ends we will not accept any applicants and wait for your application. In the mean time other people can submit applications for that character as well. 
  • Multiple reservations can be made for the same character, since to us a reservation is just a reminder to wait on another application before making a final decision. 
  • Making a reservation does not guarantee you the spot by any means, it just means we will wait for your application.
  • Also make sure that you will actually apply for the role you reserve it isn’t fair to those who have been waiting to hear if they are accepted or not if you decide to change your mind about applying. Also if this does happen at least tell us!
Do We Accept OCs? (Change According To Preference, This Is An Example If In My RPG I Was Not Accepting OCs)
  • No, all the characters in this RPG will be premade, because we would like a similarity in the format and effort of each bio, for the sake of doing the plot justice. Though we are open for FC requests at this time.
Regarding FC Changes (Change According To Preference) 
  • There are only certain FCs we will be willing to change and under a very good reason. And it also depends on the FC you would like to use in place of it, we suggest finding someone who is very similar and will be able to fit with the personality in order for use to consider it.
If Your Application Is Rejected… (Change According To Preference)
  • There could be a number of reasons why your application was denied, though we do encourage you to reapply or a different character in hope of better luck.
  • Though do keep in mind to pay extra attention to the details of the Application form to make sure you are not making the same mistakes twice, in case it was rejected for those mistakes. Also maybe try reading accepted applications to maybe get a better idea of what we’re looking for.

Once Accepted

Make Sure To Create Your Character Page Within 24 Hours Of Acceptance.
  • Once we accept you we would love for you to become active as soon as possible, though we do not open until _____, you can still have small conversations and plot with the other RPers.
  • Though keep in mind if we do not get the link to you page within 24 hours without any notice form you we will reopen your role. Though if you let us know in advance that you are caught up in some thing and won’t be able to we will understand and make an exception. After talking to us please make sure to make the page within the next extended time period we’ve granted you though.  
Enable Your Ask And Submit Functions Once You’ve Created Your Page
  • It is important that you make sure to open your ask and submit functions, also make sure to also open anonymous ask. Having them enabled means we the Admins as well as the other roleplayers can reach you more easily. 
Join OOC Blog Through The Link We Provide (Change According To Preference)
  • Once you are accepted and have created your page we will send you the link to this RPG’s OOC blog on your characters page. Make sure to join it so in case you have anything to say OOC it doesn’t go on the main dash.
Create A Para Guide - Rules To The Guide Below. (Change/Remove According to Preference)
  • Para Guides are a must for this rp, keeping them enables the Admins to keep track of activity as well as allow the players to easily access others paras so they can keep up with the activity. 
  • Here are the rules to the guide: (Change the layout if necessary, each rp is different so para guide categories may vary)
  • There must be an order to the paras, make sure to enter a new para enter at the top and no bottom so newest paras are at the top of the list. 
  • Have three categories to it : Unfinished, finished, ongoing 
  • Have the title of the para and next to it the names of the participants. In front of the title have the date the para started in bold. In the finished section also have the end date.
  • Make sure to tag you paras with the title so that you can link the tag in the para guide. Ask Admins if you have any questions
  • All finished paras must have 12 notes at least!
  • (I would have an example if I could find one, though I will make one later and add it!)

While Active

Make Sure To Stick With The Plot
  • If you’ve joined then it means you’ve read the rule that states you have to read the plot. So if you’ve read it then you know the plot, knowing the plot means you should be able to follow it since you joined. Joining meant saying that you can honor and follow the plot, so keep your word. 
Follow Character Personality!
  • As admins we work extremely hard on all aspects of this rpg, but writing character bios and personalities is by far one of the hardest parts. It take so much time and effort creating each character the bios are our babies so please follow them, add on but don’t change them. Make sure what you add on doesn’t completely contradict the other personality traits though!
Posting Rules:
  • Always post/reply as text. Of course you can reblog or post pictures as photos but when blogging another characters picture turn it into text as well! 
  • We don’t want to see any more than two gray lines in a post. So always clip your posts I can’t stress it enough!
  • Make sure to appropriately tag your posts so they work with your para guide and always have the title of the rpg as a tag! 
  • All paras must be in third person! 
  • We encourage paras with multiple people! 
Use Proper Grammar And Punctuation.
  • This rule is pretty self explanatory and simple! So we sometimes don't understand why there are so many grammar or spelling errors in posts. This rule applies to everything, paras and oneliners alike!
Para Length:
  • This rule has absolutely no exception.
  • Our required para length is a minimum of three paragraphs, with eight sentences each. If you have five of more paragraphs in your para only then can you have five sentences in some paras, but five is the minimum in this exception! 
  • We ask the other roleplayers that if someone doesn’t respond to your para with at least the minimum length you don’t reply and let them know why you’re not replying.
Be Aware This Is A Mature RPG (Change According To Preference)
  • This is an M rated rpg meaning pretty much anything goes. Sex, drugs, alcohol, violence, bdsm, ANYTHING!
  • So please join at your own risk, know what your signing up for, make sure you are mature enough to handle it!
  • (Set a minimum age requirement for applicants if you’d like)
Certain Paras Under Read More.
  • Make sure you keep anything relating to sex, torture, rape, bdsm, nudity, and anything else of this nature under a read more! 
  • One you reach that situation in your para when clothes are coming of and such make sure to add the read more!
If Inactive…
  • If you are inactive for more than five days without any notice, you will be asked to leave. At the end of the sixth day if we hear nothing from you we will tell our rper to unfollow your account and your role will be reopened!
  • If there is an emergency and you tell us anytime in the six days you will be allowed to stay. If you are unable to get on at all, talk to us then maybe we make an exception but if not no hard feelings. 
  • If you have any less than ten paras in a month you will be warned, then asked to leave! 
  • Make sure you are actually paraing, conversations are great but paras are the main part of an active rpg. 
If You Would Like To Leave The RP:
  • At anytime that you want to leave, we ask that you contact the Admins, and a day before leaving you set up an exit of your character in the rp. Maybe your character(s) can move, or die, whatever you’d like!
  • We ask to wait a day before deleting the account! 

Behavior

Do Not Start OOC Drama.
  • Starting Drama on the OOC blog, or chatzy is completely not allowed! Don’t talk too much about your rp other than plotting in OOC since this can sometimes lead to fights. If you do have a problem with any other roleplayer please address the admins!
Do Not God Mod.
  • Controlling what another players character is doing, or creating a situation that they don’t feel like comfortable it is wrong. To find out more about what god-modding is follow THIS link.
Do Not Isolate Any Characters
  • Leaving out any characters from the rp is wrong, and unkind to the roleplayer. If you have any problem with that character or how he or she is being played contact the Admins! 
  • The rp would be a lot more fun if you include all the characters, plot with the role player work out a plot line, plan interactions, and include everyone. Don’t out right ignore any character. 
If You Have Or Want A Secondary Character…
  • We have no problem with people taking on more than on character! But we do ask that you keep both accounts equally active. If we see that you spend all your time one rp and ignore the other we will ask you to give up your second account! Only take up as much as you can handle. 

(** Add On Anything You’d Like, Anything That Applies To Your RPG Specifically!**)

PAGE 005: HALLIE by ALINARPS // PREVIEW & DOWNLOAD

  • This is my fifth page and my second about/bio page, and it took (or it felt like) pretty long to make and I’m happy with the outcome! It’s based on an open browser kind of theme with three tabs to flesh out a character in the form of social media! 
  • All sizes should be in the coding, but if for some reason you can’t find it, just hit me up and I’ll tell you!
  • There are three tabs: a Google tab, a Twitter tab, and an Instagram tab. On the Google tab, there’s three spots for information and three images on the left side, and one image on the right side with one area for information and three spots to list songs! In the Twitter tab, there’s a header image, icons, a following/followers area, a Twitter desc, three areas to list tweets, and a lot more! The final tab is the Instagram tab, with a spot for the stats of the account, a description, an icon, three images, and one larger image for a fake Instagram post!
  • Finally, there are three links in the corner that are supposed to be imitating the Mac style of close/minimize buttons. 
  • Please like or reblog this if you like it or use it? It’s a simple thing to do, but it lets me know if people like the theme or not! Also don’t steal or redistribute any part of this code or theme—since I worked very hard on this—no matter how big or small. Please keep the credits no matter what, even if you edit only for personal use (which is okay if you do)! If you want to edit a theme and want to post it, please contact me first!
  • If you need help with the HTML or if there are any problems, let me know! I’ll be glad to help you out.
