Role Playing
- Applications
You must submit an application in order to participate in any RPG on this board, it's only fair so that everyone has a fair chance of getting the role(s) they desire. If you are unsure of how to Role Play, please ask an admin or fellow staff member to help you understand it better.
The better the application is presented and the audition, the better chance you have at getting your desired role(s). - Auditioning
When you audition in your application for the role(s) you wish to have, you must do so with a 3rd person point of view. Meaning:
"Edward hissed at Aro as he decided to take the chance to come after his family. He had to protect Bella and Nessie, and he'd do so with his last breath of existence."
Please have at least two paragraphs for the audition. Do not steal someone else's audition from other boards, or from this board. If you're caught stealing someone else's audition or application your request will be denied automatically. - How Many Roles
You may have up to three main characters, and two original characters.
Or you may have three original characters and two major characters.
All characters may be on one account, or on multiple accounts. If you have multiple accounts for your other characters, let the admins know so we don't delete the accounts. - Role Playing Guide:
This board will have RPGs in third person point of view, unless it's the free form RPG section in which case it is up to the person(s) that created the RPG.
NO GOD-MODDING (taking over another character while posting as your own character).
NO DOUBLE-POSTING.
If you have all your characters on one account and need to make another post, you must either find a way to include it in the first post or wait for someone else to post after you've posted.
KEEP decent grammar please! NO DISTORTED text permitted. If you don't know how to post with proper grammar your character(s) will be given to someone else.
Stick to your character, don't change it up just because you feel like it.
Only ADMINS may create Board Hosted RPGs. You may submit ideas to us through PMs but we will be the final judges of what will be hosted.
Crediting
- Photos and Stock:
If you use someone else's photo or stock from another site you must have their permission to use it and have a link back to the site that you found it. If you cannot provide the link or do not have permission, you will have to delete the item(s). Claiming someone else's work as your own is plagiarism and that's illegal. - Fan Fics/Poetry/Original Works
If you have fan fics, poetry, and original works that you post here that are not your own, you must have permission from the original author(s) to post them. If you do not, and do not post credit to them, your account will be deleted. That is plagiarism.
If it is your own work (fan fics are not your OWN work as they are about tv shows/books/movies etc), then please let us know so that others cannot steal the work as their own. - Graphics
If you have graphics you'd like to post on this board, that is okay as long as you have permission from the site(s) you have the images from and textures etc to post the work. If you post it and you don't have permission, you must delete it or we will. If you keep posting someone else's work after the second warning your account will be deleted.
Any graphics that we post here will be credited appropriately. Do not claim images of celebrities and screencaps as your own, that's not right and not allowed. If they are your own image(s) that you yourself have taken, then that is another story altogether.
Post links back to the places in which you've gotten your research from your graphics. If you do not and continue to post the work on the board, you will receive two warnings, then your account will be deleted.
We will provide links back to those places that we have gathered resources for skins and banners and avatars. If we are unsure as to who they belong to we will not post them, as should be the same for you.
