Please be aware that most of these rules can be bent or changed prior to beginning a new thread with your RP partner(s). If nothing is discussed before hand with your partner(s), it will be assumed that posts and interaction will take place as outlined below by the following guidelines...
It should be noted that you CANNOT get banned for choosing not to follow these guidelines. These are here as a suggestion, not as a mandatory list to follow. The ONLY guideline that is enforced (and a bannable offense if broken) is the script in bold about child pornography.
Otherwise, skim over these, and then start up your own roleplay or just into someone else's!
1) If you are involved in a para or multipara (paragraph or multiple paragraph) RP, a paragraph spans approximately 5 sentences long. It is up to the discretion of the user who created the RP how long posts will be! Posting length generally varies from RP to RP.
2) Posts should be as open ended as possible so that another character can latch on and interact with your character.
3) Please don't god-mode or play another person's character. It's generally frowned upon. If you leave you post open you should eliminate any need for playing another’s character. If you are unclear on this rule please ask about it on the questions and concerns board, or go over it with your partner.
4) Be careful while battling. Be sure to talk out battle rules with your partner(s) before you start to avoid frustration and confusion.
5) All genres are accepted on this forum. Adult subject matter included (which is why the administrator accepts no liability when it comes to under-aged users!) there is a difference between adult themed RP and pornography. Adult themed can encompass things like drug-use, sexual intimacy, or explicit language. This is a forum for role players and writers, don't be lazy, incorporate a story. Please be mature about the content you write, we're all adults here.
If your thread is sexually explicit, or uses excessive use of anything that would be considered 'adult', as a courtesy, you might want to label your thread (with something as simple as NSFW) to let others know it isn't work safe.
Child pornography, even within RP, is not permitted on Woven Myth at any time. (See the forum rules for more information) If you are confused about this rule, please contact the administrator, or post your questions on the questions/concerns board. This rule may NOT be changed.
6) You may have and play as many characters as you like whenever you like. There are no character profile limits. In regards to canon characters, there may be multiples and you can make different profiles for the same character if you are a different user who happens to RP as the same canon character.
7) You are more than welcome to use a thread as a one on one rather than RP through PM! If you wish to keep your RP thread private (i.e. between you and the person/people you have selected to play with) without the option of newcomers jumping in, please indicate that on your thread title with something such as "PRIVATE", "CLOSED", "onexone", or anything that will let people know that you do not wish to have anyone unexpectedly join.
Barring private threads, it should be understood that any thread that is not indicated as private is open to have people join in whenever. If confusion arises about certain threads, please utilize the PM feature and contact the thread's members or ask in the OOC board!
8) You're not limited to threads! If you feel like starting a completely private RP, away from prying eyes, feel free to work it out with your partner(s) and have an RP in a private message.
9) If you are seeking RP, please post threads like that within the "Seeking" board or within the OOC board. Seeking ads should not be posted in the actual RP boards, if they are posted there, they will simply be moved to the appropriate board.
