These guidelines are significant to ensure fair and successful role-playing:
- All posts must be in third-person. This is to avoid confusion and keep things organised.
- Grammar and spelling must be taken into consideration.
Improper grammar and/or "txt" language will not be tolerated. Please use spell-check, it is provided here if you do not have another source.
- Your posts must each be at least two paragraphs long. This is the equivalent of about twelve sentences per post.
- Do not use modern slang. Try to remember that we are role-playing in Feudal Japan! Otherwise, the only exception for this is if you are playing a character in the Modern Era.
- Go easy on the curse-words. A mild curse-word every now and then probably won't offend anyone, but don't get too heavy on them.
- Do not put images and/or videos in your post. There are no need for these, they can be distracting and misleading. Use imagery to express what you want to describe, use your imagination!
- Do not double-post. There is no reason to do this on purpose; if you do it on accident, simply delete one of the two.
- If your character is speaking, please indicate it with "quotation" marks. This is to avoid confusion.
- If your character is thinking, please indicate it with 'apostrophes' and/or italics. This is also to avoid confusion.
- If you create a thread, make sure wherever you create the thread is suited to your character. Kikyou is not going to be in the modern era, for example. Nothing is off-limits if you are creative and logical about why your character is there, but be careful.
- If you want to create/reserve a thread for only a certain character or characters, you should indicate that in the thread title by putting "Invitation Only" and PMing the character(s) you want involved.
- If your thread is no longer active, you should modify the thread title by adding "Closed". This is so that it can eventually be locked and transferred to the Archive.
- You may join any role-play thread so long as it doesn't read in the title any of the following: Closed, or Invitation Only. If you are unsure about entering a thread, then PM the creator of the thread and ask if you may join.
- Godmodding is not allowed. Godmodding happens when you role-play another character - that is not your own - in their place. Also, even if you can read other characters' thoughts, your character cannot, please keep that in consideration as well.
- When in combat, do not overpower yourself. It is not fun to role-play with someone who won't ever get hurt and never misses or allows dodges, please try to keep things fair and interesting!
- If you have an "out-of-character" comment you need to make clear in your thread, you can put the comment in ((double parentheses)) and/or put OOC: before your comment. Otherwise, save "out-of-character" conversation for the chat-room, please!
- Do not make references to other animes or anything not pertaining to InuYasha or Feudal Japan while role-playing.
- As mentioned in the General Rules , please keep everything PG-13. Any threads/posts deemed to contain sexual activity or mature content, please leave a warning in your thread title or underlined and bolded at the top of your post.
- Keep in character. Always keep focus and be in tune with your character as you role-play, this is very essential to the trueness and realism of portraying that character accurately!
Also, Proboards’ Terms of Service must also be considered on these boards.
