                  Welcome to the Do's and Don'ts of Role Playing. This thread was created to prevent beginner role players to avoid doing stupid things that will get them kicked out of a roleplay, or being called n00b...of course...you don't need to be a beginner to get kicked out of a role play. If you are not a beginner, then perhaps this guide will help you as well.

Do's!


____Even though this is pretty obvious, this one can never be stressed enough. Always follow the rules! This is the first step of being a good role player. Following the rules. Following the rules will keep you out of trouble and most of the time prevent you from getting kicked out of the role play.


____Keep the verb tense constant! By keeping in the same verb tense. I am pretty sure that we all have learned this in school or somewhere, if not, then I will go over it...Basically all you need to do for keeping the verb tense constant is either always stay in past tense, or present tense. Future tense is annoying, and it it doesn't run smoothly in a role play...especially if the other people are typing in either past tense or present tense.


____Always type at least in paragraph worh of text! It is very hard for people to role play with you if all you do is write one or two sentences. Be sure to have propper grammer and spelling so people will be able to understand what you are saying and dont have to try and guess what you really mean.


____ALWAYS! and we mean ALWAYS! be nice to your fellow role players no matter what kind of foul mood you might be in, play nice. Also, stay in ch aracter, if you know you tend to rp in a certain way then make your character like that!


____Have fun! What's the point of role playing if your not having fun? If you don't enjoy role playing then don't even think about being heavily involved with it. If you don't have fun then you will be reluctant to post and the role play that you are in will be dragged down.

Don'ts!

____This is more towards the girls then the guys...but I'm pretty sure that there are some guys out there that this should refer to. Don't make your character a drama queen/king. Yes, we all want our characters to be in the spotlight at some point. But your character can't always be the center of attention. We all crave our moments when we're in the spotlight, but if your character is constantly in the spotlight, it will annoy other role players.


____Dont get too much into the romance! Although most of you join an rp for the romance, there are many people who don't. If you couple up quickly, there will be a lot of people who get left out of the rp and they end up quitting. Also when you do get into the romance, please remember that people do not want to know what you do in the bedroom!

____DONT ever Godmod, it is annoying and just plain immature. Godmodding includes auto kill and auto attacking, you cant say. ' Josh ran at Jason and with one swift swing of his blade cut the man clean in half, killing him instantly.' If you want to kill someone, pm them, as if your allowed to kill off the person. The answer will most likely be no, if you are really itching to kill someone, make an NPC to kill.

____Always, listen to the owners of the rp, even if what they say seems unfair, they probably have a good reason for it. Or they just plain dont like you. If the latter is the reason, then you are probably rping in a fashion that causes people to dislike you. If that happens, you should be smart enough to k now that your not needed. If you ever DO get kicked out. do NOT whine about int, it is unprofessional and can get very very annoying to listen to.
