Hello! This is a rundown on how things work in our RP world here on Tinallie. You should know the general rules already, due to the lovely RULES section. If you don't, read them now and come back to this thread later. We mean it, too. Rules must be known.
We love new people. They mean new blood in the circulatory system of our beloved site. However, in the past, we have had some people that have not read the rules and do not know the workings of our very closely knit site. Here's a rundown for you, so that you can do better and have the most fun possible!
1. Our RP village is called Ellaia. It is a small town. You can see the map posted in the General Board. It is not proportionate by far, but it gives the general layout.
2. Poisonberry Tavern is for role plays as good or neutral characters. It takes place in Ellaia.
3. The Dungeon is for seedier characters, even villains, and it is set outside of Ellaia, but still in our world (named Urack). Let it also be known that neutral characters can be in either board.
4. The OOC (Out Of Character) Board is so that you can establish just what is going on in the threads we are RPing. An OOC is now required for each thread made.
5. You may have noticed that in Poisonberry Tavern there is a gigantic thread named "The Good Times Tavern." This tavern was the first establishment in our village, and it is the basic "hang out" for all of our characters. If something big is going on (in any thread), it's always at the Tavern. Do not be alarmed at the size of it. It is mainly just a hang-out with no real time frame. It skips around a lot. All you really have to do is read the last four pages at the most to get accustomed to what is going on in that moment and then you can jump into a character introduction. It's a New-kid-on-the-block-friendly thread! Use it!
6. Our way of RP is kind of different than that of other boards' and we highly recommend that you read up on some of the smaller adventure threads to pick up on how we roll here (or "role" here... heh... get it...? Nevermind...). We do not god-mod (taking over another person's character) at all... not even to say if they reacted to something our character said in the middle of our posts. Read up and get the hang of our style before jumping in. It will make it easier on all of us.
7. We have FUN! If you're not willing to have fun and be open, don't bother trying to RP. Feel free to use the general boards, but don't RP if you're gonna be that way.
8. Dark (the character) is pretty much the mother figure of the entire group. If your character is having a problem, you most likely will get the most help from her. She founded Ellaia with the character of Thistle... but since Thistle is a pixie and a trouble-maker, you would not get too much help from that character. Point being; if there is a problem in Ellaia, the first to learn about it probably should be Dark Beauty. ~Subliminal message~Tell Thistle First!
Disclaimer: This has nothing to do with the admins. If you have a problem with our board itself, feel free to ask either of us. Thistle is just as competent as Dark outside of RPing worlds.
9. By the way, as you may have noticed, we use screen names on this board for identity protection, even though we all pretty much know each other. If you are on this site, chances are you are closely acquainted to one of us and/or most of the people on this board. However, this board is open to anyone and we sometimes get creepy people on and reading. So please use the screen names.
Thanks so much for being part of our world here! We look forward to getting to know you!
