Please read these simple rules and guidelines to roleplaying in the Base.
These are here so you, the reader, can feel less ambiguous.
These are here so you, the reader, can feel less ambiguous.
=No God-modding / controlling other people’s characters. It is considered very rude, and can most often be avoided by just not doing it. Period.
= No one-liners. We understand writers block, but that can be avoided easily by having your character do bodily things, like scratching their head, smoothing their clothes, taking a drink of something, or even staring out the window.
=Make sure you allow others to respond if you have two characters in the same room. Other people would like to roleplay, and same-creator character conversations are odd and should probably be kept to a minimum.
=Brush up on your grammar! If you have Mozilla Firefox, enable the spellcheck. This will make everyone so happy. If you are using Internet Explorer or another browser, consider typing your posts in Microsoft Word/ Another Word editing software first. It’s not /required/ persey; it’s just considered good etiquette.
=Keep OOC to a minimum.
=READ ALL POSTS. Even if it’s three pages, it will give you some sort of grasp on the goings-on before you post. This can help avoid AWKWARD SITUATIONS
=PAY ATTENTION to Weather/Date/Time please. If someone says its summer, and your character is outside in the sun for hours with no sunscreen, PLEASE SPORT A SUNBURN. Also; if it’s sunny, please make sure it’s sunny the whole day. If you want it to rain, mention clouds first.
=Please keep regular discussion to the main forums. They are there for a reason, so all Advertising/Not-Roleplay or OOC related things please go to those specified forums.
=Be realistic. This is a Team Fortress Two roleplay, so no Anthromorphic characters. ((This means Tenta-spies and Spy-crabs also, sorry. D: )) Also: If your character has a serious health issue, they are most likely not going to be allowed into a mercenary group fighting a war. Mental diseases… It depends. Just don’t overdo it, folks.
=ROMANCE/BROMANCE: It’s allowed but please take the time to FACILITATE a relationship. No /INSTANT LOVERS/ please. Also; if your character has awkward sexual preferences, state so in your profile so everyone else isn’t surprised when suddenly- BAM!
Your character is a flaming homosexual.
=Boys + Girls = BABIES. So, if you have two guys and they are gay daddies/have kids, please include mentions of a mother, even if it was a seraget mother.
=No ‘Perfect Characters’. Everyone has natural flaws, whether it’s freckles, wonky eyes, missing a finger/teeth/eyeball. Dark pasts are allowed, but please try and keep the emo to a minimum.
=Character posts go in the /Team Roster/ thread. Current Maximum Character Limit is three per roleplayer. This means you can have THREE people. (( Two BLU’s, one RED, Two RED’s, One BLU, Three BLU’s, Three RED’s. Or you can save one of your characters and have one on each team. It’s up to you. ))
=Please follow the Gaia T.O.S.
=Keep in-roleplay lovin’ to PG-13. Take all smut to PM’s or off-site, please.
=If you find someone’s in-roleplay behavior to be unacceptable, or they are not following the rules, please notify Karlii Alorade or myself. Do not attempt to handle the problem; we don’t want fights to break out between roleplayers.
=R.E.S.P.E.C.T. means taking time to gaze over these rules and referring those who need to read them.
=If you’ve got anything you’d like to add, post below. SUGGESTIONS ONLY keep all discussion in another place. I will add as we go along.
