Welcome to Generation: Role Play, which will be commonly referred to as GRP as I am lazy. I am your creator and administrator, Mavrick, and all questions and issues should be brought up with me either through Private Message or any of my Instant Message accounts.
So the rules here are extremely simple, I've made them this way to make sure there is no limits on what you can RP.
So the rules here are extremely simple, I've made them this way to make sure there is no limits on what you can RP.
- We are a writing based community. I allow all forms of writing, whether script or novel based, so long as it is written in proper format and is not full of n3t sp33k. We should all be here to better ourselves as writers and to enjoy ourselves. Languages other than English are welcome, though it may be harder to find someone to reply.
- There are no character approvals needed, nor are there any limits on what character you can play, fandom or no fandom. If you want the classic Harry Potter Mary Sue, then be my guest. If you want a half man half elf for LotR, go for it! Female legendary pirate for PotC? I have one myself! Vampire sucking demon for Buffy/Angel... of course! You get the idea... (I had more)
- You can RP any fandom, but beware that others may not love it the way you do. It's best to use the Post Planning board to seek out other fans before pouring your soul into a post that no one replies to.
- Original RP is also of course accepted, but be sure to impliment the Post Planning board and the content rules below.
- Any content is accepted in RP, so long as it is placed in the appropriate board. If there is minor swearing and sexual references, the Under 18 Board is fine. If there is excessive swearing, violence and sex, the Over 18 Board is necessary. While I will have no lock on the Over 18 board, since lying about one's age is easy on the net, I will have at least placed the appropriate warnings. It is entirely up to you what you do and do not read, and it is not up to the writers to place further warnings in their threads unless they choose to do so. Assume if the post is in Over 18, that there will be content that warrants its being posted there.
Also Note: I will be checking the Under 18 board for posts that belong on the other board. Think of it as a PG 13 board. You can get away with a bit, but think if you'd want your 12 year old sibling/child/friend reading it. If you think not, then Over 18 is for you. Warnings will be issued, and repeat offenders can look forward to a banning. - While not RPing (using any of the In Person boards), a bit of swearing is fine (lord knows I can and will), however do not direct it towards another member. Be tolerant of others and remember I have the power to warn and ban if I feel it's necessary. This is a writing community for those who cannot find a RPG to suit all their needs, not a flame site. Constructive critism should be just that, delivered without hate.
- Spam will not be tolerated. There are certain parts of the boards that allow non members to reply to. This does not give you a free ticket to spam. Spammers will have their IP address blocked.
Please Note: For those unaware of the term. Spam is totally pointless posts, or random multiple posts of the same useless nature. Ex. Mavrick Rules! on every thread and board. - For the time being, all posts wanting to be saved will have to be saved by the members. I have plans for an archive thread, but not until there is enough content to warrant one.
- Post counts only apply for RP boards, so don't wonder why you've been posting on all the In Person boards and not getting any extra numbers. This applies to myself as well, so know that big numbers mean someone who posts in character frequently.
This is the most important thing to know. You can RP anything, any time, with anyone, playing anyone, however you like. Creative freedom, which is denied in so many other places.
