I have made a set of basic guidelines made especially for Astro-boy Online Role Play.
/note: they have been modified and will be modified after the first plot/
1) For characters:
because this is a Tezuka themed fan site, the Role play needs to be centered about the theme about the Tezuka world.
a) the character must be from the Tezuka world.
b)fan made characters are allowed, however, should a that character be similar to a character from the Tezuka world, out of respect of Tezuka it would be a form of disrespect,however,depending on which version,the character must at least have some of the recognizing characteristics (Astro is mature, Uran is mischievous, Tenma is emotionally in pain ext.)
c) a player can have up to a maximum of three characters
2) Site rules:
the site has rules and guidelines of it own,
a) regarding, on what kind of plot and its theme
b) what, is appropriate content
3) Etiquette:
the word speaks for itself, even in terms of Role play,
because of recent events in RP threads,it is best for the Role players to have a list of Etiquette.
a) a list of players with characters their choice, should post as much as they can within their time and after an x number of posts, each player wait until a different player posts.
b) a plot needs a pattern of players and their characters
c) if one player needs a break, allow them and a player in the thread can barrow the character until the player is ready to play again, however should more then two should need a a break then the rp is at a pause and then it can be taken up again. after an x number of pages of posts the rp can take a break and talk about the plot so far.
d)do not rush anything, be patient, basic manners.
e)avoid off topic conversations during the rp.
f) if players wish to exclude completely then they tell the host not in the thread.The troubles in the current and past Role Play threads are as listed
1)impatience in the plot and in posting (i admit to both)
2) too many post but from few people (this as well)
3) people joining and then excluding themselves
4)Penalty:
Becuase of these past problems, MightyAstro and I have decided,to prevent the troubles listed above that has happened in the past Role Play threads, to make a Penalty for the troubles in the thread,for both Impatience and overposting. We will review any time at any day for these issues, if not then please PM one of us about it and we will see to the matter.
the first two PM will be a reminder the third will a final warning
for impateince in posting will call for a one day "Thread Abstinence"
for impatience in Plot will call for a two day "Thread Abstinence"
to disregard of the Abstinence and post otherwise will be ignored by the other players as a reminder and for the remainder of the abstinence. These prevent troubles in the thread and with the players and the plot.
With your cooperation,the thread will be smooth and successful and retain its interest for and of the fans.
Sincerely,
Astronomical girl
