[b][center][h3][color=black]Rules[/color][/h3][/center][/b]

[b]Respect The GM & Co-GMs:[/b] [color=lightblue]Sure, sometimes we make weird calls or say something that's not quite PC. Realize that the admin's have a hard job, the job of telling you that you are wrong and you need to change something. We don't like doing it but we have to sometimes. That also means that when things come too heavily into question, you need to let us deal with it. You can make our jobs easier by reading these rules and adhering to them. We promise, you'll like us a lot more if you do. We also encourage and welcome discussion on why an admin made a certain call. If you talk to us like people and not like we're your most hated enemy then there's a rather good chance you'll change our minds on some things...[/color]
[b]*The Wolves of Mercy Falls Co-GM:[/b] [color=lightblue]Irisity! :][/color]
[b]Same Forum, Same Rules:[/b] [color=lightblue]You are in a sub-sector of the [b]RolePlayerGuild[/b] forums. The Forum Rules and CoC are the over-arcing rules. Know them, love them, abide by them.[/color]
[b]No dirty/sexual content:[/b] [color=lightblue]Absolutely no sexual content allowed. Romantic situations are always welcome in your story-telling, however they will remain completely innocent. Anything more touchy-feely than a kiss will be given an [i]Inappropriate Content Warning[/i]. Take it to PMs if you'd like to continue in detail, otherwise just write [b]fades to black[/b].[/color]
[b]Respect Your Fellow RPer:[/b] [color=lightblue]This involves basic netiquette.
* Don't yell at someone (USING ALL CAPS LIKE THIS IS YELLING EVEN IF YOU DON'T MEAN IT TO BE). Use exclamation points, [b]bold[/b], [i]italics,[/i] whatever you want to make your point but don't yell in all CAPS. It's just simply rude.
* Realize we have people who identify with different religions, maybe a lack of religion, sexual orientations, locations, races, ages and whatnot. We don't expect you to be perfect but we do expect you to show a little maturity.
* If they do something in the RP that you think is wrong or illegitimate, ask them why they did it and if they'd change it. Discuss in the OOC or Private Message what the problem is. If a resolution can't be gotten to, ask myself or the CO-GM to step in and we'll help you fix the problem. (It's usually good practice to STOP the RP if this happens, that way you don't have to go back and say "Ignore these posts" or go back and edit them.)
* Don't be childish. If myself or the CO-GM asks you to fix a mistake, change something that isn't right or whatnot, just do it please. Don't make a fuss about it.[/color]
[b]No "Bunny-moding":[/b] [color=lightblue]This means taking over another player’s character. Usually this kind of thing happens innocently enough but ends in major fights over what actually is happening. [b]"*Vrynn attacks Corey with a vicious slash to his face and Corey drops to his knees in pain*"[/b] This is bunny-moding. Instead of allowing Corey to react to the attack, Vrynn assumed she hit him and told him how he was going to react. This is not acceptable RP. Never assume you know what the other character will do. (Sometimes, someone gives you explicit permission to run their character while away. This is the [b]only[/b] time bunny-moding is acceptable.)[/color]
[b]No God-moding:[/b] [color=lightblue]This one should be pretty easy. God-moding is when a character is able to do whatever they want, whenever they want with little or no consequences. People cannot dodge bullets. This is not allowed. This is also important for character creation as there are certain limits within this RP that must be adhered to, despite the fact this is a fantasy fiction RP with werewolves in it.. still, no god-moding.[/color]
[b]No OOC in RPs:[/b] [color=lightblue]The RPs we have going on have their own [b]OOC[/b] (Out Of Character) thread that corresponds. If you have random chatter to contribute that doesn't involve the RP, take it to these threads where you can spew randomness, embed videos, and generally be dorky to your hearts content. Having unrelated chatter in the middle of the RP threads is distracting to all the players, including you. When you need to say something out of character in the middle of an RP, such as to ask a question about a character's action, always use the OOC thread.[/color]
[b]No Double Posting:[/b] [color=lightblue]Basically, this means let the other characters/players have a chance to react to you before you try continuing what is going on or just walk away from the conversation altogether. If you have two or more characters that you're RPing with but forgot to post as one, there is an [[b]Edit[/b]] button on the bottom of your post. [i]Use it.[/i] Don't double post. If more than 2 days have passed and nobody has responded to you, or if you know [i]factually[/i] that your RP buddy is gone for a long while, then it is okay to post again.[/color]

[center][i]All RPers, new and old, have room to improve our story-telling and interaction abilities so here are some tips to keep in mind to help everyone improve..[/i]

[h3][b][color=black]R[color=red]o[/color]leplaying Tips[/color][/b][/h3][/center]

[b]Clarity:[/b] [color=lightblue]Be clear about what is happening in your posts and try to make sure the other RPers understand. They will be acting on what they think you meant. Other RPers will post responding to the new posts and a long line of actions can form alarmingly fast. Confusion can cause massive problems if not cleared up quickly and can cause a lot of disruption to the RP as the line of actions may be undermined. Try to minimize confusion as it breaks the flow of the RP by being very precise with actions and their intended effect. (Remember, it's bunny-moding to force it to affect the other character, best to tell them what you want to happen and let them react accordingly.)[/color]
[b]Collaborative Story:[/b] [color=lightblue]Remember that everyone else has an equal part in the RP's story. Give them time to do the things they want, don't change the story radically without asking others (Especially if you've made a large post. Changing it then having people go back to re-read it can be bothersome) and always leave room for their stories.[/color]
[b]Consistency:[/b] [color=lightblue]Have your character act in ways that are typical of them. It sounds like common sense but it's often overlooked. While RPing an inconsistent character you're not really RPing just one character, but many. In short, it can lead to confusion. It can be helpful to write down the major personality quirks your character has and refer to that from time to time to remind yourself how your character should react in certain situations.[/color]
[b]Drama:[/b] [color=lightblue]The point of every story is the emotion it makes the reader feel and every RP is basically a story. The general tips of good RPing are the same as good writing. One that stands out above all else is try to have a good taste of drama in your character and their actions. How to include drama? A heated argument between two characters is dramatic. A character hanging on for dear life as other characters struggle to save them. In other words any situation that the reader genuinely believes your character might die is dramatic. Any deep emotional interaction between characters is dramatic. Don't be afraid of "non-action" because those are the times when you get to reveal your cool or misguided past and either gain sympathy, empathy or maybe even jealousy or hatred from the other characters.[/color]
[b]Respect the other characters:[/b] [color=lightblue]Respect the other characters and what they can do and what they have been through. Remember that no character is the 'main character' and that each character is probably something it's player is attached to.[/color]
[b]Be aware of your IRL situation:[/b] [color=lightblue]Keep in mind what your work schedule, sleep schedule and time zone is compared to other RPers. If you find that you're having to force yourself or someone else to stay up too late or you want to RP with someone who is never on at the same time as you, consider changing your strategy. Sometimes you just have to accept that you can't RP with certain people due to these very real time restrictions. This also goes for double-posting. Give the other players time to respond and never expect someone to respond to you quickly. Give it up to a day just in case someone was called away for a chore or a phone call before you post again.[/color]
[b]When in doubt; Rewind!:[/b] [color=lightblue]If the situation is too muddy and everyone is fighting over what should have happened, that couldn't be right, how dare you etc... then just throw up a vote. If 75% of the players in an event agree that rewinding to an earlier point and replaying the situation is for the best, then please do. We want to have fun, not create problems.[/color]
