Welcome to Crystal Gem Universe's RP Section!
In order to keep the RP section clean and fun for everyone, there are certain rules everyone needs to follow. They are as follows:
Keep the forum rules in mind. Be nice, don't swear, don't harass others, etc. We want everyone to have fun in this section so let's keep it civil and just be nice to each other!
No god-modding, power playing, or meta-gaming. The definition of these can be found
here and
here. Or in short:
- God Modding:
God modding can be defined as having your character be all knowing and all powerful. They always dodge attacks and never miss their mark, they get all the hot chicks/dudes and they know everything about the universe. This is not realistic and it's also not any fun for others to RP with a character like that.
- Power Playing:
Power playing is when you take control of another persons character. If you have another RPers character get hurt or die without that RPers permission, it takes away the fun for them.
- Meta Gaming:
Meta-gaming is when your character has knowledge of the plot/characters/location that they shouldn't. Like if you and other members plan out a big plot twist, and when it comes time for it to happen in the RP and your character magically gets away from the twist, then you are taking information your character shouldn't know and using it to their advantage. This also takes away the fun for other members of the RP.
This area is meant to be a fun place for everyone to enjoy, and anyone found infringing upon that will have immediate action taken against them.
Keep OOC talk out of the RP threads. That's what the OOC area is for.
Keep all RPing at a PG-13 level. Forummotion does not tolerate any content over PG-13 so neither will we. If your not sure what constitutes a PG-13 rating, think of it in terms like a PG-13 movie; what you think would be acceptable for a 13 year old to see/read. Would you be comfortable reading your RP post to a room full of 13 yr olds? No? Then don't post it and/or change it to fit the rating.
A more in-depth definition of what is allowed within the PG-13 rating can be found
here. Before you can start an RP you must fill out an OOC thread form and post it in the OOC area. I will then look it over and if I find any changes that need to be made I will post them within 48 hours. If I do not post within that time frame you may assume that I do not see any changes that need to be made and you may use the thread as your OOC thread.
Before you can RP as an Alt. Canon or Original Character you must fill out and post a Character Biography. I will then look it over and if I think the profile needs to be expanded, I will post my requests in the thread. Once the changes have been completed and I see no more changes that need to be made, I will approve the profile. If I see that nothing needs changed or expanded on in my initial review, I will approve the profile then.
You cannot edit your post once another RPer has reacted to it. Unless there is a major issue that needs to be fixed and you have the approval of
everyone else in the RP, you cannot go back and change your post once someone else has reacted to it. It's not fair to the other RPer and it messes up the flow of the RP if their post all the sudden doesn't make sense.
You may edit your post before someone else reacts to it. But do this sparingly for like spelling or grammar issues. Think about what your writing before you post it and you should be ok.
If you have any questions about the rules, RPing, or really anything at all, do not hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to help you!
Please R&U this thread once you've read it!
