DZComposer Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I have posted a draft of the new RP board rules on the RP board. The board is still closed, but please take a look. 1. The main forum rules apply. 2. Please keep RPs PG. Keep the cursing to a minimum and do not describe violence in explicit detail. 3. No sexual acts or desires for sexual acts. 4. Do not insult anyone. 5. The RP Moderator has full control over behavior on this board and may take any action within reason to maintain order and civility. 6. The RP Creator(s) set the rules, scenarios, and format for individual RPs. 7. No more than three RPs may run simultaneously. This is to prevent mod staff from being overwhelmed. Additional RPs started will be locked. 8. RPs are to be submitted in the RP request thread, and the RP mod will allow them on a first-come first-serve basis. Please be fair and only submit ONE RP at a time. If you submit multiple RPs, they may be skipped-over out of fairness. 9. Each RP should have a specific final objective/scenario. This is to ensure that other people's RPs get a chance to be active. 10. You may not be the same canon character on multiple RPs simultaneously or consecutively if another person wants that role. This is to allow others a chance to take those roles. Exceptions: 1. No one else wants the role after a reasonable period of time 2: If you create an original character (IE your own character), you may play that character in as many RPs as you want, provided it meets the creator's guidelines. 11. No double-posting. Use the edit button. 12. Only staff may delete posts. If something needs to be changed, use the edit button. If something needs to be deleted, please ask the RP mod. 13. Allow time for other people to react to your post. This is for two reasons: 1. fairness and 2. to regulate the pace of an RP so that the RP mod can kepp a good eye on it. 14. If your RP's scenario ends and you want to continue, please add a sequel to the request queue. 15. Make sure your actions are fair. You do not get to declare someone dead nor have unlimited invincibility. Always give everyone else a chance to react. 16. If the RP creator, RP moderator, or any other SFO staff member asks you to leave an RP, you must do so. 17. Any RP that the staff deems to have gotten out of control will be locked. Flow Control Notes: Please make sure that an RP stays reasonable in movement speed. Reasonable is what the RP mod is comfortable with. If the RP mod asks you to slow the pace down, please do so. The RP mod has authority to temporarily lock an RP to slow the pace down. Normally I am pretty flexible about rules input, but in this case I am not going to change the rules. I am only asking if something needs to be clarified. After these rules are solidified, I will re-open the board. If you want a chance at a faster-paced RP, we can set up a time for RP in the chat.

Sabre Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hmm. There are some conserns about the rules, and if they are perminant. the RP mod will allow them on a first-come first-serve basis. What's to stop people ordering uptons of RPs to have some ready as 'stock'? 3. No sexual acts or desires for sexual acts. Wouldn't a temp rule of 'no romance' be better?

Kursed Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 umm i think the rule keept the romance pg-13 or something like that would work better... and on the title of the topic... what am I suppose to say? I don't like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 The rule is about sex. Romance is fine, so long as it doesn't turn to sex. What's to stop people ordering uptons of RPs to have some ready as 'stock'? If the RP mod feels that that is happening, he has the athority to do something about it. Good catch, though. I shall clarify that. *ADDED: Please be fair and only submit ONE RP at a time. If you submit multiple RPs, they may be skipped-over out of fairness. As far as whether or not these are permanent, at this point they are unless it is later determined that things can be relaxed. I thought I had made it clear that when RP returns, it would have some strict rules. It had been proven that open RP does not work and leads to trouble.

Zwolf Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Yes, more rules is good. I have suggestion as well. Personally, I have nothing against fan characters, I have one myself, but I feel like when EVERYONE uses a fan character, it not only becomes very confusing and hard to follow, it tends to be less Star Fox and more just general RP. I'm not saying NO fan characters, but maybe a restriction on the number per RP or some kind of guideline for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwolf Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 limiting characters like that is a very bad thing. Why? It's a Star Fox site; it's a Star Fox RP board. When everyone is running around with two fan characters or more even, that's not Star Fox anymore. Plus, with fan characters, the creators of the character can make them however they want and do anything they want, they don't have anyone saying "Hey, that character wouldn't act that way, or say that", or you have RPs that barely see the main Star Fox characters, and just focus on fan characters. Quite frankly, it's just plain confusing. I barely know a quarter of your fan characters alone, Kursed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner/Technical Admin Sideways Posted June 27, 2009 Owner/Technical Admin Share Posted June 27, 2009 I am fine with the use of fan characters. I do request though, that they have some sort of connection with the Star Fox universe. I don't see why you couldn't have a crossover character either, but let's make an attempt at explaining just how they got into the SF Universe. Did they get swallowed in a black hole and wind up here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndf Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hm. These rules sound great to me, though about the no-romance one...maybe we could just limit it to PG or G? :3 Then again, that's just me. He sez romance is fine as long as it doesn't turn into sex. :bill: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have Four Fan charaters Zwolf and the fourth is still in the 'prototype' stages of Development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 I feel that any rules regarding the use of fan characters should be determined on a per-RP basis by the RP's creator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kursed Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Don't worry sideways I need to collect my ideas before I apply for a roleplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner/Technical Admin Sideways Posted June 28, 2009 Owner/Technical Admin Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'm going to ask that you post your profiles in the Character Profiles thread that I will be creating as soon as the board is re-opened. Please allow me to get used to the position before I approve multiple RPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
