Forum/Roleplay FAQ

[Xathiador]

Just for organizational purposes, I'm going to post here answers to important questions that come up among our members. Mainly, these will probably be things I've forgotten to mention in the rules, etc. and will tend to be basic forum policy/guidelines related.

1. Are we allowed to roleplay a character in more than one thread at once?
Yes, this forum runs on what is known as liquid time, which means that you may play your character in more than one place at a time, as long as you keep your wits about you and keep important events separated. I.e., if you're roleplaying your character in two threads, one having been started before the other one, if something important happens in the second one, the first one cannot be affected by the event.

2. How many characters are we allowed to have?
You're allowed to have as many characters as you feel you can handle. In fact, we encourage you to have more than one character. We also recommend that you have separate accounts for each character (it makes things a lot less confusing for the other members as to which character you're playing), but that's not a necessity.

3. Do your characters have to be accepted in order to roleplay here?
There's no formal acceptance process for your characters here. Just make sure you post a profile before you begin roleplaying. I read all of the profiles and usually reply to them. I want people to be completely creative here, so I do my best to be flexible with things. If I see anything completely ridiculous that would, for instance, give your character a huge, unrealistic advantage over other characters (like, 'telepathickinesis that shoots fire and instantly kills the person by thinking of them'), then you'll definitely hear something about it, but other than that, there shouldn't be any problems.

God-moding is a strict no-no here, and if anyone notices that someone is behaving that way, I urge them to PM me or Kekira (the global mod) with the link to the thread so we can check it out and/or deal with it. We have to be careful of this here because of the freedoms I allow peoples' characters to have.
