Forum:RP Proposal

Here is a proposal for how we should handle roleplaying (which, at the end of the day, is rather the whole point of this wiki endeavor). Manga (talk &bull; contribs) 01:40, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Basics

 * 1) Two forums: "General Roleplay", and "Individual RPs".
 * 2) GR forum deals with all classes and stuff, and is more-or-less the official one.
 * 3) IRPs is for individual stories. Basically, one person acts as a GM (although they can be both a player and a GM), and it goes as an adventure decided by the person running it.
 * 4) Each character will have a nice little character box, in order to make people easily noticeable, e.g.

Note that's a really basic box, and all the backgrounds can be coloured and whatnot. There will be a special GM box.

Rules

 * 1) No godmodding: Your first year cannot destroy the entire world with a single spell, no matter how much you want them to.
 * 2) No emotional godmodding: As nice it would be, Voldemort is a mass-murderer and you glancing at him sadly is unlikely to cause him to suddenly change his side and become good.
 * 3) No bunnying: You cannot decide that another player does something.
 * 4) No metagaming: Your character is not aware of that thing that is lurking behind the corner that the guy mentioned to someone else.
 * 5) Reaction times: Word of warning, it's highly unlikely that you'll be able to disarm every single person on the room before one of them catches on and attempts to disarm you.
