Roleplaying Rules
1. GOD-MODING
Don't do it. It's simple; on this board we will not tolerate those that intentionally control other peoples characters without permission thus disrupting the RP and upsetting other players. Certain RP's may require controlled God-Moding (for fights etc, admin controlled gods as well...) but this needs to be done with communication between the RPers involved. Any instances of blatant God-Moding after a first warning from a staff member will result with immediate banning.
2. REGARDING ALTERNATE/CHARACTER ACCOUNTS.
All players must have separate accounts for each character that they make. Having said this, it is mandatory that you list all your characters in the "Character List" thread under the "About Diminished Fates" board.
You must have a primary, main character accepted before you make another one. Also, you must wait three days before creating another character after you've made your first one.
You may have up to seven different accounts for seven different characters. If we find out that you are in possession of more accounts than accepted, you will be penalized with a warning. Failure to comply will result in a temporary ban.
3. RP ETIQUETTE
Experienced RPers need to remember that not everyone that posts here is going to be experienced and thus know the etiquette of RPing so patience is needed; if you have any problems, contact an admin.
We do not want any grammar Nazi's please. If you do not like someone's style of RPing then don't RP with them. It is as simple as that. do not want petty and snide remarks regarding someone's posting. Elitism is one of my pet peeves on the internet. There are plenty of high quality writers at the Diminished Fates RP, as well as those learning their trade, I want everyone to respect one another and get along please.
4. CONCERNING PLOTS AND RPING IN GENERAL
Free flowing is a skill, and to create an interesting story an ((OOC)) at the beginning or end of the post can be helpful to you and other RPers. Just don't go silly with you OOC comments and write paragraphs in post please. A line or two should be sufficient.
It doesn't matter how short or long the post is, just try and make it relevant to the storyline. There is no minimum or maximum word count, however, NO ONE LINERS. Any instances where less than 20 words of RPing is spotted, a three percent warning will be given. As you violate this rules more and more, a higher penalty will be given.
Please indicate whether or not your thread is open or closed by using the "(open), (invite only), (Pm for invite), (closed), (plot), or (finished)" tags in your post topic.
