Here are some helpful rules that maximize fun in our regional RPs that we can all agree on. Let me start by listing them out, with a helpful explanation to each! 1. RPs are not about winning, they are about having fun. You can play to win, but please know that it's way more fun and much more impressive to lose well then win by cheating or being a jerk. If you cheat, people will ignore your victory and count it as a loss. I know we all want to win and get all the claps, but sometimes it's best to fight only battles you know you can win or just take the loss and hope next time you will win. 2. Do not have your characters know about things they can't know, this is called metagaming. Your characters can't see hidden enemies holding their breath, nor can they read the mind of the enemy and know their move. If the other player posts that he is planning this big assault in a board-meeting you can't know about that, your players are ignorant about their plans. 3. Do not spam soldiers or weapons, please be reasonable or this game is not fun. No one cares if a billion soldiers and a billion soldiers with knives all get into a knife fight, it just sounds crazy and boring. 4. Do not control other player characters unless they are loaned to you and the loaner has talked to me or Yuno. It's very very hurtful to steal peoples characters and use them for your own purposes. 5. Your soldiers are not invincible, give all your men a weakness. Your soldiers are also not all spec-ops, unless you want to be greatly outnumbered by the enemy. I don't care if you are orcs or space marines, you are ether outnumbered or you have normal troops as well. 6. Do not kill anyone in a diplomatic Rp, those are for talking, not shooting or using bombs. 7. Do not skip over another players turn! You can't attack your enemy and get past their border, without them spotting you. Others will be added as needed, these are just general rules. Below is a simple form you need to fill out and then you are all set. Code: [b]RPs I want to get into[/b] Please erase this message here and type in any of the following in the exact order you prefer them, if you don't know put a / between those that are tied.
