- Role Play Rules:
- 1. NO GOD-MODDING / OMNISCIENCE/ META-GAMING:
- You are NEVER EVER allowed to control another person's character. Also, your character should have no knowledge of events that took place with your RP partners' plot(s) unless you were apart of those events.
- 2. Make Your Posts as Descriptive and Creative as You Can.:
- We ask that you try to make your post as descriptive and creative as possible. We aren't looking for Steven King here, but we would like to see some effort on your part.
- 3. Mature Topics.:
- Mature topics are allowed here at FTERP but they must be marked [XXX; Private] Just please keep in mind, some members are going to be perverts and read those topics(Note: Please make your XXX topics as discreet as possible!! No private parts by name AT ALL). If you wish to use over excessive cursing or extreme violence, you MUST mark that topic as [MATURE] to warn other members of it's content. This rule is subject to change at any time, so be aware.
- 4. 'Liquid Time' Has its Limits.:
- Unless they can duplicate themselves, which is extremely unlikely, unless you are a mage with an ability which allows you to split yourself into two or more people. And, that wouldn't be allowed anyways. OR if you specify it in the first post of your thread that it happens before or after another thread you are in at the same time. This is only allowed for Social or Private No Killing threads. While your character is in a thread where he or she could die, you cannot have a thread that happens after it in the timeline. No mentioning of events that happen in incomplete threads in new threads.
- 5. Post Paragraphs, Not a Few Sentences.:
- We know its hard for new RPers to post a lot of words, but you have got to make the effort! We're not asking for like a book, just at the very least, 150 words per post, that's not too hard right?
- 6.Third person, Past Tense:
- Posts for RPs are ALWAYS written in third person, past tense. (Ex: Lilliana had to run an errand but was too tired to go, so she stayed home.)
- 7. Post order and time limit:
- When there's two or more people in a thread, a posting order MUST be established and must be agreed upon by all participants in the thread. If someone is unable to post, they need to let everyone know. If not, after 48 hours, they can be skipped in the thread without consent. So please try your best to post within the time limit people, it's not that hard.
- 8. If it's not your business, stay out of it PERIOD..:
- People will try to get involved in things that have absolutely NOTHING to do with them, they just need to kind their own business. Make sure you don't comment on any applications unless you are an ADMIN or MODERATOR. Those are the only people on the site with permission to reply to applications.
- 9. Loop-holing will not be tolerated :
- Here at FTERP, we do not tolerate those who try to find loopholes in our rules. If you are caught doing so, it will result in warning points being given to ALL your accounts
- 10. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR BULLYING:
- Here at FTE, we have a ZERO TOLERANCE for bullying in any form imaginable. You must treat your fellow members and the staff the way YOU want to be treated. Hurtful name calling, threatening, trolling negatively, you name it and its NOT tolerated OR allowed and if caught doing so, it will result in warning points.
