No Foresight- Your character cannot see the future, unless it is specific to the plot. (Like if someone says in their storyline 'and Jaedite looks into the future and see's his death'). Your character also can't know spoon they don't know. Like if someone is planning to kill Serena and they're in the dark kingdom and Serena is hanging out with Molly in the real world, Serena can't just suddenly be like "OMGOSH Someone is planning to kill me" unless like. . . the person plotting to kill her told her so.
No vague plots- You can't just be like 'Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion die. It's sad and stuff.' Cause no one will know what to do. If you need help developing/typing your plot, please post it in the 'plot help' thread. Plot's shouldn't be pages and pages, but you need to describe the characters, and some kind of outline of the MAIN events.
No Godmoding- If Sailor Jupiter dies in the plot, she dies. No random power mutation or strengthening. No knowledge of EVERYTHING. No foresight. Nothing.
No arguing with mods- or myself. If a mod makes a suggestion you feel is unfair or unfit, take it to me. Moderators have enough stuff to do as it is, don't make it worse.
STICK TO YOUR CHARACTER!!!- Why would Sailor Jupiter act like Sailor Mars anyways? It's nothing hard to do. If you are RP'ing Sailor Jupiter, RP Sailor Jupiter.
Try to include small parts in plots- If you're doing a season one plot, maybe throw in 3 youma and Nephrite or something? Try your best to put as many people in a plot as possible, no stroyline eliteists.
Also try not to bias against n00bs and low post counts- This forum is my creation, and I want it to be an open environment. Therefore if I see you turned a n00b down without any real reason, or the only people you accepted have ridiculous post counts, we might have a problem. I mean, that is all if you don't have a reason for anything. Like lets say you only accepted high posters cause they were the only ones who applied, then it's all good!
Try not to bias at all- OPEN ENVIRONMENT!!! Please just don't bias at all.
Stick to the storyline- If you get told that in your plot, Sailor Mars and Mamoru get married, deal with it. No interveining in someone elses creation
No dumping on, or stealing someone's plot- If someone post's a plot, and you don't like it, don't say anything. Also if a random/guest posts a plot and you use it, please put a link to the thread you got the plot from in your RP thread.
Posting an RP/Storyline-- I realize and I'm sorry that I have made this an extremely confusing affair. NO you do NOT need to "claim a character" in order to post an RP. Staff will have characters names (Tsukino Usaig, Mizuno Ami, etc.) just to differentiate us. That doesnt mean in EVERY RP posted on this site I will play Usagi, or that Ami will always play Ami. If you post a storyline and you want to be Venus, you go right ahead and be Venus. That, as the creator of the thread and RP is entirely up to you how you choose who can be what characters. So please please post RP's if you have any ideas! It's okay to post an RP without a set character, you can specify that all in your thread. And in order to join an existing RP, talk to the starter of the RP thread and see if you can hop in and be a character that isnt taken yet. PMing people isnt against the rules
WTF is up with the money and all that?-- Well right now, money and stats are broken. They stopped going up cause I edited them. But what my initial plan was to finish the "Boutique" post and make some pixels. With your money you could purchase items for in-rp use. It was a cool little spin-off to help get stronger and raise morale. And the stats were to help like when battling in an RP you could actually have your stats deducted from, to prevent god-moding. I don't know if I'll continue the idea though. . .
More or less RP rules may be added/taken away. Please check back/bookmark this thread.
