RPing Guidelines

RPing Guidelines:

These are guidelines to make RPing smoother and more fun and you will notice some are repeated from the above Rules and Guidelines. The reason being is because they are guidelines that are stressed here and how we keep things calm and fun for everyone. In saying that, lets continue.

Any quirks can still be a part of this RP. Trust me, a few of our RPer's/characters toss in little plots that change things. That’s fine. It’s what makes the RP fun and a surprise for us RPer's. As long as they are IN character, you can play your little games. But if you want to throw in changes for the WHOLE cast, or give your character a new face - you need to make some hints in your writing or share the idea. If it seems people are getting lost by your hints, ask The Bleach Administrator, Allura Nakane, or Ujikiyo Maeda, if they understand the hint. They can help you and you can continue forward.

Some of this may seem like more than most RP’s. We did take the writing to another level. We try to cover all loose ends and make the transitions smooth and easy to follow. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of fun to be had. Take your time to get used to the way things are done here. Share with the family - even if it is only with ONE other person. Because in the end, they will relay that message to all the others to make things move along like needed and in time you will start sharing with the others just like we all do.

• Number One: WE ALL HAVE TO DO THIS. I can't let you march to the beat of your own drum for rules. It would not be fair to the others.
• Number Two: WE WILL NOT IGNORE what our readers have to say. If I do that, they leave and then where does that leave us?
• Number Three: WE ALL have to compromise. No one person gets their way completely. Even with the shared ideas. So know if you submit an idea it will be nit picked and added to and maybe even parts removed. Here, we work as a group. Not as one person against everyone else. If we did, this RP would not have the readers we have. To make the story/RP move smoothly and fun we have to share ideas, plans and MAJOR plots that affect EVERYONE. It’s the small inside evil/good plots that add the fun for the RPer's.
• Number Four: As far as ideas go. We all have last minute idea that we share with the person(s) we are RPing with. We don't just broad side people with MAJOR things here. It will cause hard feelings between you and everyone here. Now little things are fine, but a MAJOR change will make your character look MAJOR OOC to A LOT of people. You have to write in ACTIONS and/or THOUGHTS as of why your character is doing this.
• Number Five: With sharing our ideas with the others, there is a better chance of us getting exactly what we want for our character or story. Not saying the other character(s)/RPer(s) will make it easy on us to get to that point (we can't make things look like they were planned), but we will get it in the long run because we are all aware of what needs to be done to get the character to were he/she needs to be or the RPer wants them to be. It’s a win win situation when we cooperate.
• Number Six: We do understand character growth and we know it IS NEEDED. Without it the character would become boring and stagnant. Now I know every RPer wants their character on the right path, but we need to know what direction you’re taking him/her and leading him/her for growth or change. If you take your character out in left field and we are in the right field. They are going to be doing their own thing while we are following what we have had planned for months.
• Number Seven: The RPer's here will call you on not paying attention. Either in the RP, in character, or getting a hold of you (PM, Skype, whatever way they can). If you're not sure what I am talking about, just pm The Bleach Administrator, Allura Nakane, or Ujikiyo Maeda.
