Just some random thoughts I had bouncing around in my brain this morning. Please remember, these are from the bunnyhugger and as such are subject to review/change/deletion/and or condescention by the powers that be without rhyme, reason, or warning. Basic RP Guidelines These are just some simple guidelines to help our people become accustomed to role-playing. 1. Sickness *Nausea, debilitating pain, or any other form of bodily sickness is always a valid reason for abandoning an RP session without any warning. Remember, it's always better to sprint to the bathroom and unload the meal you just enjoyed there rather than on your keyboard, which could have long term detrimental effects on role playing. (brings a whole new meaning to the term sticky keys) 2. Inebriation *Role-playing a sober character while drunk is nearly impossible. *Role-playing a drunk character while sober is a difficult undertaking, remember while your character may be drunk, you are still sober and responsible for what may or may not occur, be careful. *Role-playing a drunk character while drunk is also a bad idea, no one wants to see that. ![]() *Best advice, drinking and rp don't mix, there's always the danger of passing out and drooling all over your keyboard, which could have long term detrimental effects on RP. 3. Elite RP *Walk before you fly, and don't envy those who can fly (it hurts more when they fall). *Remember, if you're new to rp, start out simple. *Please don't be intimidated by other people's RP. We all had to start out at the beginning once. *On the flip side, don't be afraid to jump into the RP pool with those you consider heavy hitters... we've never had anyone drown in the RP pool yet, and we won't let you be the first. *We're here to have fun, so if someone is struggling with RP, help them don't yell at them. 4. Setting *This is Norrath, not the federation, not a galaxy far far away, not the Hogwarts annex, and definitely not the secret grotto of Spongebob Squarepants! *I know we all have our loves outside of EQ, but we're RPing here for a reason. There's something about this universe, this setting that interested all of us. Now, I'm sure that's different for each and every one of us, but the commonality that we all share, and that lets us interact from a common ground is Norrath. So please don't dilute that. *Pointy ears in Norrath indicate elves, not Vulcans. *Swords may be bright, shiny, and glowy, but they are not light sabers, they are more than likely enchanted or cursed. *It does not take thirty minutes to power up and necessitate going blonde each time someone is going to attack nor does it require half the world coming apart as you hover in the air basking in your awesomeness. *The only giant mechanical constructs around were created by gnomes and they are not powered by protoculture. *There is not one ring, there are many. *Spandex does not exist here (See there are some good things). *Bottom line is we have all gathered here to play in Norrath. So lets all work to keep Norrath beautiful and free of tribbles, dragonballs, and ewoks. 5.Attitude *OK, we can admit it, we're a little off here. (some more so than others.) However, pleae keep in mind that behind every toon there is a real person with real feelings who is here to have fun. *Playful banter, taunting, and joking is just an everyday event here. That said, make sure you know the person pretty well before trying to push what to some could be considered boundaries. Lets try to be respectful of everyone. *If someone says it's enough, it's enough. Period. *If an officer addresses you with a concern, please be respectful. They are taking time out of their happy fun time to address an issue and to resolve it amicably for all concerned. Don't be combative, because you will lose every time with a poor attitude. *Love the Emins. *Love the Bunnyhugger. *Taunt the Koge relentlessly, but with varying amounts of cuteness. *Tread lightly with Kaliet, we're very defensive of our beloved leader. *Don't cross Cala, she will smack you down. (She's mean like that, RAWR!) 6. Have fun. *Please remember, if it's in game or on the boards this is supposed to be fun. If you're not having fun, something isn't right. Talk to us and let's see what we can do to address that. |
