To help everypony that isn't used to this but wants to play with us out: What is roleplaying like here? How do I do it? Well, it's really quite simple once you get the basics down! 1: Write in the third person. Example: Peppermint walked down the street, excited about her new haircut. She couldn't wait to show it off to everypony! 2: Try not to make the posts too short. It's okay if you don't have much to say and you get your point across, but usually a paragraph is better than just a sentence or two. 3: ***NO*** godmodding! This one is important! ''But Peppermint, what is godmodding?'' Well, godmodding is when you make anypony that isn't you or a NPC (Non Playing Character) do something that they haven't agreed to do. I can't make a pony bump into me or talk to me, I have to initiate it by trotting up to them and talking to them. Hope this clears a few things up! If anypony has anything to add, feel free.
Thanks for puttin' this up here :3 I reckon we'll add other rules to this, too..
No problem! And I think other rules should be added, these were just the ones that I got off the top of my head. Maybe once enough are up and to our liking we could sticky this one, or create a new one with all of them in the first post and request it to be stickied and closed.
>>41 uhmm 1 more kinda commonsense thing i guess reload a page after you finish typing to make sure you don't post something that conflicts with something somepony may have posted after you entered the thread. It doesn't erase what you wrote but i guess copy pasta before you do for insurance. also could some friendly mod tack this too? seems like an important thread.(see i reloaded and i see peppermint already said this second part before i did)
>>50 Yes, that's a very important rule. Otherwise ponies do things at the exact same time and things just get messy. ALSO: Things in parenthesis aren't RP, they are OOC (out of character) statements. (If I'm talking like this, it isn't an actual part of the RP, it's just me talking.)
I would also add, no overpowered ponies, like: a unicorn that can control elements, a pony that can command wild creatures to do his bidding, faster than rainbow dash, etc.
>>100 Think that goes under "no godmodding" already.
>>100 This. Also, nice get.
>>100 My name is GodMod pony, and I can control elements, command wild creatures to do my bidding, and I can fly faster than Rainbow Dash. Also: stickied
>>110 Well, I guess that is fair, since you're the god of this board. Thanks!
>>111 Don't worry, it was just a joke. :P
