Same as above ^.^
Talking In Character
When you are talking in Character (ic), please speak only in third person; meaning, you aren't one of the characters. DO NOT write this:
I ran over to my friend. "Hello!" I said, my tail whipping.
No. No, no, no!
When you RP in character, please talk like this:
Ugly bounded over to his friend. "Hello," He roared happily, his tail whipping.
That is a good example of how to talk. Also, if your dragon gets in a fight with another character, you CANNOT bring harm to each other!
DO NOT do this:
Ugly growled angrily and bit the other dragon. He felt his teeth meet flesh and knew he'd left a wound.
No! NEVER DO THAT! If you are in a fight, do this:
Ugly growled and aimed a bite for the dragon's left shoulder.
This is the correct way. The other person you are fighting with can decide if thier dragon got bit, or if they dodged the attack. But people, please be realistic. No dragon can dodge bites from three attackers and manage to make a miraculous escape, completely unharmed. Let the other dragon hit once or twice. This makes it fair for everyone. And obviously, you cannot kill another dragon without thier player's consent.
- If your dragon is hunting, here is a list of things they commonly bring down and kill:
The Code Word is: Aurora
Mountain Goats and Sheep
Moose, Elk, Deer
Bears (maybe)
Livestock from humans
Rodents like rabbits and squirrels
Fish!
- No double posting, please! That is when you post twice in a row without waiting for the other person to catch up.
Example:
Farty waited for Ugly's reply.
Farty bounded off in search of a rabbit.
This isn't fair, and gets annoying after a while, too!
- Your dragon can be in THREE places at once. I'm not expanding it any further. If you post in more than two, unless you can prove one of the threads is dead, it's a warning.
If you have 4 charries and they're in 4 or more places, that's 16 or more threads to keep up with!
Talking Out of Character
Talking out of character (ooc) is done by YOU, not the dragon you are playing. If you wanted to comment another person, you could say.
ooc: Wow, I like Ugly's picture!
ic:
Farty nodded at Ugly's words.
- You MUST show the transition of talking out of and talking in character.
- YOU CANNOT FLAME PEOPLE! Flaming is when you insult someone directly. If I see anyone doing this, you'll get a warning. Three warnings and you are banned.
- NO sending nasty Pms eaither! If your doragons have a fight, don't bring it to ooc. If I find out you've been doing this, you will get a warning.
- You can curse on this RPG if you talk ooc. Please try to do this as little as possible though. If you curse too many times, you will get a warning.
- No Chatspeak.
Example:
ooc: hey, wazzup? i just 8 @ the new burger place.
Translation: Hello, what is up? I just had a meal at the new McDonalds.
DON'T DO THAT! One sentence of chatspeak is worth one warning. I'm serious about this.
- Try to use correct spelling, grammar, and capitailzation. This won't get you warnings, but it is much more convieneant if we know what you are trying to say.
Powerplaying:
Powerplaying is, basically, playing with power. For example, making a sick or elderly dragon take down a bear, or not harming yourself.
Example #1: Ugly limped through the forest. His leg was stiff and slick with blood from his fight with Butthead. His stomach growled, and he knew he'd have to eat or die. He saw a bear eating some grass. Ugly flung himself upon it and killed it with a single bite.
Umm, hello? Did we not say that Ugly was just wounded? If your dragon is wounded, he can proboably only eat carrion or plants, maybe small rodents like mice.
Example #2:
Ugly snarled as the other dragon lunged for him. He felt teeth close around his neck, but slipped out of the other dragon's grasp unharmed.
A dragon can't do that. If you're going to fight, fight fair.
Godmoding:
Godmoding is being like a god, and controlling other player's charries. You cannot do anything with other peoples charries! You can only play your own.
Example:
Ugly growled uncomfortably at Farty's stare. "What do you want me to do?" He asked. Farty backed away uncomfortably. "I don't know," he muttered.
If I EVER see you godmoding, that is an instant warning. If you do it accidently, like saying the other dog blinked or shifted a paw, that's okay. But don't do it any more than that.
Thanks!
