Hello! I am here to give you some basic points for roleplaying that will help you have a peak roleplay experience!
Some of these will be andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s rules as well. Note that I am not trying to re-write the rules or be andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) at all, I'm simply stating some roleplay etiquitte tips, since I don't believe that there is a thread on that.
Be respectful and courteous to everyone you're roleplaying with. You can still be respectful while your character dislikes another character. Keep all personal attacks out of it, though.
If you're going to have a roleplay that's going to have swear words or sexual content in it, please state so at the start of the thread. Same goes for if swearing isn't allowed. RPers, don't swear unless the thread specifically states that it's OK.
Please, no "god-modding", unless stated in the thread. God-modding is when your character is so overpowered (OP) that it's indestructable. Nobody likes gm-ers, and you're doing everyone a favor by keeping them out.
If a roleplay says "Open", but the participants are in mid-roleplay, assume that it's closed.
Don't inturrupt roleplays, especially not one-on-ones.
If you're speaking out of character (or OOC), use brackets. For example, (I GTG, have fun, guys!)
Please, please, please use grammar. I know that you may be eager for your character to speak, but use capitalization, punctuation, and try not to use shorthand unless you're OOC.
No one-liners. If you can't think of anything else to say, either wait until another person's character speaks, or use detail.
DO: Charlotte tapped her foot on the cold granite floor of the chapel. She didn't like the song that was being sung, and she refused to sing it. Occasionally, she mouthed out some words, but her mind was elsewhere.
DON'T: Charlotte didn't like the song that was sung,so she didn't sing it.
Don't be rude in general.
If you're online, respond. I know I don't like it when someone isn't responding to my RP, but they're everywhere else.
Follow the rules of the roleplay. If they say no fantasy characters, for example, don't throw in your half-mermaid-half-elf.
.Ask questions. If you don't understand something, ask "What are we supposed to do here?" or "Can you explain ____ a little more?"
Don't suddenly stop roleplaying with someone at all costs. Simply say "Could we skip a day or two?". I HATE it when someone stops RPing with me. If it's a multi-person RP, it should be fine to bow out, but DO NOT f it's a one-on-one. Let the starter of the one-on-one close it.
. Please,please,please have a template, especially if your roleplay isn't just the "Name,Age,Gender,Pesonality"-type roleplay.
I hope this helps! If you have anything you would like to add, please tell me, I will gladly add them to this list!
