This is the roleplay discussion thread, where we talk about previous, current, and future forum-roleplaying gaming. All out-of-character chatter for all future roleplays must occur here so that we don't clutter up the Treasure Vault or the roleplaying games with chatter. This is also the thread where future roleplays will be brewed, created, and voted upon.
For those not familiar with roleplaying games, these are the default rules:
*No power-playing. You are not allowed to play as someone else's character. Do not write what someone else's character did, how that character reacted, etc. Use only your own character, and no one else's.
*No god-moding. You are not allowed to make a character invincible, omniscient, omnipotent, or otherwise do what is considered impossible within the bounds of the roleplay. Even minor things, like always dodging another character's attacks or being completely unmoved during an emotionally traumatizing moment, is considered god-moding.
*Stay in character. If your character is a poor swordsman, you're not going to be defeating an expert swordsman unless you have a serious advantage. If your character is highly rational, try to avoid having the character act emotionally. Make your character do what they would realistically have done in that situation, not just whatever suits your fancy.
*Avoid making Mary Sue characters. These characters are your average run-of-the-mill heroes or villains, fitting all the tropes in their category, being natural god-moders, or otherwise being unrealistic. Make your characters unique and realistic to the best of your ability.
*No meta-gaming. Your character should only perceive what is realistically perceptible to that character, and should not know of things that only you, the player, know about.
*Out-of-character chat should be explicitly separated the story. The most common way to do so is to preface it with "OOC," but I've seen players use double-parentheses ((like this)) or curly braces {like this} instead.
Standard rules of English grammar should also be enforced at all times. Maintain proper spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure (intentional misspelling excepted, like when simulating an accent). Your paragraphs should have two or more sentences each, and should be no more or less than 2-7 lines long.
Oof, the paragraph rules... xD
On the other hand, one-line paragraphs are ugly :P
