T1 RP Rules and Regulations

1) Do not god mod; follow the limitation of powers.

Explanation:
RP is not about power; it's about skill. Don't simply hand your
character so many powers and abilities with so much power that he or she
becomes akin to God. Try to stick as closely to your core cannon as
possible, and simply do more with what your character already has
available to him or her. God modding is not simply attempting to control
your opponent's character; it's packing
your own character with so much that he becomes a literal god,
impervious to damage and capable of doing almost anything. Also, certain
powers should be avoided; these powers include but or not limited to:
time control, unlimited use of portals, telepathy/mind control, control
over all the elements, immortality/invulnerability.

Example:
Wrong:
-A goddess who can control time and also has the power to control her opponents.
-A DBZ character who controls his/her own dimension and/or is master of all the elements.

Right:
-A goddess who has a number of acceptable powers.
-A DBZ character who has gained the limited use of one element.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) Interactions are turn-based.

Explanation:
Interactions between two RP characters in the T1 format are turn-based,
meaning each RPer takes turns making posts. Whether it's a simple
conversation or a heated battle, all RPers must give the other RPers a
chance to respond. Unless otherwise determined at the beginning of a
battle, it is assumed that each RPer has an unlimited amount of time in
which to make his or her post, though this should not be abused to the
point of never responding. Each turn is over after the second RPer has
made his post. Please note that in situations where there are more than
one RPer present in a battl, a clear structure for who posts in what
order should be made. In a conversation between numerous RPers, the RP
does not always have to be turn based, particularly if one RPer present
is inactive or expresses that his or her character wishes to be more
observational than conversational.

Example:
Wrong:

First RPer: I throw a punch at you and laugh
First RPer: How do you like that?! I then throw a second punch at you, hitting you in the face.

Right:
First RPer: I throw a punch at you and laugh.
Second RPer: I dodge your punch and smirk. That the best you got?!
First RPer: I throw a second punch at you. Not even close!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) Separate speech and action in a clear manner.

Explaination:
RP posts should be written in a clear manner, and separating action
from speech feeds into this. When your actions and speech are bled into
each other, it can become difficult to figure out what exactly is going
on. It is each RPers responsibility to make each of his or her posts
understandable. Typically, it is best to put actions in one of these
forms: brackets [[]], dashes --, collons ::::, or stars **. It
recomended that you do not use quotation marks (""), as they are often
used for speech and can thus become confusing when used for multiple
purposes. It is not required to put your speech in quotation marks as
long as you keep your speech clearly separated, but it is suggested.

Example:
Wrong:

I run at you and then throw a punch at you. So how do you like that?! I hit you again and laugh. Too easy!

Right;

-I run at you and then throw a punch at you- "So how do you like that?!?!" -I hit you again and laugh- "Too easy!"

[[I run at you and then throw a punch at you.]] So how do you like that?!?! [[I hit you again and laugh.]] Too easy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) Use third-person narration when performing actions.

Explaination:
When you RP, you're pretending to be a character. This isn't your real
self; this is a character you're writing about, and thus saying you're
doing something is incorrect; the character you're RPing as is the one
doing something. When you perform actions, refer to both your character
and your opponent's character by their names or by titles, or simply as
"he/she/it" or "his foe/opponent".

Example:
Wrong:
-I run at you and hit you in the face- Take that!
-I run at Billy and hit him in the face- Take that!
-Bob runs at you and hits you in the face- Take that!

Right:
-Bob runs at Billy and hits him in the face- Take that!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) Do not auto, or perform any other act which controls your opponent's character.

Explaination:
Autoing is the act of announcing that your attack hits your opponent
automatically, hence the name "auto". An auto can be anything from a
regular punch to a lazer beam to the effects of magic. Attacks may only
hit automatically if your opponent fails to respond to it in his or her
next post, as any attacks you make that your opponent does not respond
to are assumed to have hit and their full effect taken. Also, at no
point may your character determine anything at all about your opponent's
character, whether it's announcing your opponent's physical condition
(ie, bleeding or becoming poisoned) or whether it's announcing their
emotional or mental state (ie, surprised or angry). You may hint at
these things as polite suggestions or by means of explaining your
purpose, but you may in no way state them as fact.

Examples:
Wrong:
-Bob hits Billy, causing blood to gush from his nose-
-Bob jumps towards Billy, causing him to be surprised and making him fall down-

Correct:
-Bob throws a punch at Billy, hoping to hit his nose-
-Bob jumps towards Billy, hoping to surprise him and possibly make him fall down-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6) Use sub-calculated damage rather than calculated damage when launching an attack.

Explaination:
When you make an attack, it is both customary and pragmatic to describe
the attack and it's desired effect, but you should not state the effect
outright; merely provide suggestions. Stating that an attack will
disable, burn, cut, or send your opponent flying is calculated damage,
where you determine for yourself what your attack will do. This is
wrong; it's up to your opponent to determine the actual effect of the
attack. Instead, use sub-calculated damage, where you provide a basic
review of what you hope to accomplish with your attack as well as
possible effects should the attack connect. This way, you are not
determining what your opponent's character does, but you provide your
opponent with something to work off of, too keep things running smoothly
and quickly.

Example:
Wrong:

-Bob powers up and aims a
powerful blast at Billy's chest. This blast soars through the air at
high speeds and if it hits, it will cause Billy to be burned and sent
flying backwards and into a tree.-

Right:

-Bob powers up
and aims a powerful blast at Billy's chest. This blast soars through the
air at high speeds, thus giving it a higher chance of connecting.
Should it connect, this blast could possibly pack enough power to
produce a burn of some sort where it strikes, as well as possibly send
Billy flying backwards if he was not prepaired for it. If Billy is hit
and sent backwards, there is the possiblity of him crashing into a
tree.-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7) For each of your posts, you should both respond and attack.

Explaination:
Each time you post in an RP battle, you should respond to your
opponent's previous post. Do not simply ignore what your opponent said
and/or did in his/her previous post. If an attack was made, you must
show your character's reaction to it even if you choose to allow it to
hit or you choose to dodge it completely. If you do not do this, your
opponent can assume that the attack hit, and make mention of it on
his/her next turn. And when you respond to your opponent's post,
actually provide some detail on it. Do not simply state that it hit or
missed. Describe, in a logical manner, how you dodged or blocked the
attack if it missed, or describe the actual effects of the connecting
attack if it connected with you. If you choose to take a hit, be sure to
allow your character some damage; don't simply shrug everything off all
the time. Upon responding to your opponents post, it is then customary
to make an attack or attacks of your own. Remember, be sure to be
descriptive in this, should you choose to do so. However, there is no
rule stating you have to attack each turn; you can feel free to simply
react to your opponents attack, but this is usually not the case.

Example:
Wrong:
First
RPer: -Bob throws a punch at Billy, attempting to hit him in the jaw
and possibly causng it harm. Afterwards, he would jump backwards and
sneer- How do you like that, Billy?!
Second RPer: -Billy would jump
at Bob and attempt to knee him in the stomache, attempting to leave him
breathless- You suck, Bob!

Right:
First RPer: -Bob throws a
punch at Billy, attempting to hit him in the jaw and possibly causng it
harm. Afterwards, he would jump backwards and sneer- How do you like
that, Billy?!
Second RPer -Bob's punch towards Billy's jaw connects,
and Billy his moved backwards as he feels a surge of pain throughout his
face. Growling in pain and anger, Billy would then jump at Bob and
attempt to knee him in the stomache, attempting to leave him breathless-
You suck, Bob!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cool Use correct spelling, grammar, and sentence structure.

Explaination:
RP is a world of words, and as such, your posts should be treated with
the same amount of thought and attention as you would use for homework.
Posts that are sloppy and filled with mistakes can be hard to read and
understand, and take away from the RP experience. Shortcuts such as "u"
for "you" and "4" for "for" should also be avoided, as they
unprofessional and annoying. Also, using proper sentences can create an
easy flow of reading. If a post is one long sentence, without breaks, or
is simply a combination of sentence fragments, this can lead to
confusion and both stalls and inhibits RP. It is each RPer's
responsibility to make sure his or her posts are clearly understandable.
It only takes a few extra moments to do so, and it can make things so
much easier.

Examples:
Wrong:
-Bob jumps back 2 ecsepa Billy's attack and then runs striahgt 4 Billy- U r dead!
-Bob
is hurt but he don't care he just runs 4 Billy and when he gets close
he throws a puch and it misses but then he laughs and throws more
punches when he's donw he tries to kick Billy then he runs away climbs a
tree and laughs down at Billy and then he shoots at him with his gun-

Right:
-Bob jumps backwards to escape Bily's attack and then runs straight for Billy- You are dead!
-Bob
is hurt, but he doesn't care; he just runs towards Billy, and when he
get's close, he throws a punch. It misses, but Bob laughs and simply
throws more. When he's done, he tries to kick Billy, and then runs away
to climb a tree. Upon doing so, he laughs down at Billy and then shoots
him with his gun-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9) Be descriptive and use detail for both your character and your attacks.

Explaination:
T1 RP is all about in-depth roleplay. Providing vivid descriptions is a
part of this. Do not simple state the name of an attack, or use a
minimal amount of description for what you are trying to accomplish.
State how your attack works, what it looks like, where it is aimed, what
it is supposed to do, etc. And don't simply do this for your attacks;
also spend some time describing your character. What does he/she look
like, where is he/she, how does he/she feel, what is he/she trying to
accomplish, what's going on in his/her mind, etc. The more descriptive
you are, the more in-depth and interesting your posts become. However,
do not simply state the same facts over and over again simply to provide
more information. Refrain from using repetative variation; that is,
don't simply state the same thing again and again in a different way.

Example:
Wrong:
-Bob throws a punch at Billy-

Right:
-Bob
becomes angered by Billy's treatment of him, and soon it becomes too
much. Enraged, Bob launches himself at Billy, throwing a stiff right
hook aimed towards Billy's jaw in an attempt to silence Billy. Bob hopes
to connect this punch and possibly cause some pain for Billy, and as he
attacks him, Bob grins a wicked smile of anticipation and joy for
having finally struck back.-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10) Use paragraph structures for your posts.

Explaination:
If your posts are long, fracture your post into numerous, sensible
paragraphs. Do not simply have one long, huge paragraph. Attempt to
limit one attack or response to each paragraph. This makes long posts
easy to read and follow. Long, descriptive posts may be the aim of T1
RP, but if it's confusing or cluttered, it loses it's respectability.

Example:
Wrong:
-As
Billy took a swing at him, Bob would jump backwards, putting distance
between himself and Billy. Billy's punch would sail through the air
harmlessly, as Bob was now out of Billy's reach; and as it was only one
punch, Bob did not have to do more to dodge his opponents assault. Bob
would then launch himself at his opponent, rage evident upon his face.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and now that the
battle was here, Bob was ready. Billy was going to go down this time;
Bob was going to make sure of it.- Here I come, Billy! -Bob would throw a
punch at his opponent as he crashed into him, attempting to use his
momentum to add force to his blow. He aimed this punch for the bridge of
Billy's nose, attempting to hit him right between the eyes; if this was
to connect, it could possibly injure Billy's nose, as well as produce
some possible vision problems that would make the rest of Bob's attacks
more likely to succeed. Bob hoped that this attack would prove
effective, but if not, he was not concerned. Upon making this punch, Bob
would then move into an offensive position where he would then throw a
series of punches straight for Billy's gut, attempting to use his body
as a punching bag. Each punch was swift and hard, and those that
connected could possibly cause Billy to lose his breath. Too many
connecting punches could prove to be quite harmful. If Bob's earlier
punch had succeeded, and the effect he had been aiming for achieved, he
would be more likely to connect with a lot of these subsequent punches.-
