#Rules #Resources
WELCOME TO /RP/!
Hello there and welcome to the roleplaying board! Here, there be monsters and heroes, demons and heroines, love, adventure, and, of course, ponies of all manner and kind! But please, before you sink yourself into the world of imagination, please take the time to read a little bit about how the board works.

CONTENTS:
>>RULES
A brief list of rules to read and follow.
>>IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE
A little advice on what to do if you've got a problem.
>>RESOURCES
Various resources available to enhance your /rp/ experience.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

RULES
As always, and across all boards, please refer to the ponychan global rules for general guidelines as to how to behave. As a roleplaying board, however, we have a few extras to attend to.

Be Polite and Fair!
Whilst roleplaying is ultimately for fun, remember you're having fun with other people. You're free to do as you will, these are your fantasy worlds after all, but only as long as you're within the site rules and also with an acceptable attitude. If your kind of fun is ruining fun for others, perhaps you should think twice before posting here. Roleplaying is a collaborative effort, so please try your best to work with each other, not against one another!

Respect the OP (original poster)
The OP of a roleplaying thread ultimately has control over what goes in and out of the thread. It's up to the OP (or those they accept to help them) to handle situations that pop up, such as accepting characters into the thread or telling people to leave should their behaviour or content break away from what they want of the roleplay itself. If the Original Poster asks you to do something, please respect their decision. That said, OP's, please try to be polite in your requests!

Try your best to use the available Taglist!
Whilst it's not necessary to tag everything about your thread, having a general idea of what's going on in your roleplay is a great way to get interested people involved, as well as keeping things relevant and on-track. It's an invaluable tool to help OP's keep their threads organised. To use these, simply check the boxes with the tags related to your roleplay. It helps to keep threads organised and let players find the roleplays they like! You can search for threads marked with a particular tag using the "Search /rp/ threads" link in the top right, inputting the tag (e.g. #Lighthearted).

What kind of roleplay can we have here?
Almost anything, within the site rules. Humans, Ponies, Aliens, wherever your mind wanders as long as it doesn't break boundaries. The most popular roleplay here will, of course, be Friendship Is Magic based, but if you have an idea for some strange sci-fi based roleplay that isn't to do with ponies, feel free to gather your friends up and give it a shot! Pony roleplay is encouraged, of course.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE
If a thread OP is taking too much heat, or cannot handle a situation, or if a problem is arising that users here feel should get moderator attention, please do not hesitate to report the necessary posts, and we'll do what we can to help.

That said, don't assume you only have to send reports for problems. Issues such as editing posts or updating things can also be reported to us, and we can help with those too. Think of the report button less of a 'panic button' and more of a 'I'd like a little help here' message, ok?

If anyone has any further ideas on how to improve the board/site, please bring them up in /meta/

I like this thread, but I must disagree somewhat with the OC guide, specifically it's position on Canon relationships. In my opinion, shipping and friendships should be allowed to happen naturally, even if a canon character is involved.
>> No. 37197306
>>37197297
I think the big issue is people making a character with a relationship in the background or trying to force one.

Hey everypony. I've decided I want to give /rp/ a try. I've role played before, but I haven't in a while.

I thought joining /rp/ would be fun, and a good way to get to know some people.. But I'm not sure where to start.
Someone mentioned a thread to introduce yourself in.. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction?

I have my AIM for the mod-account set up now if you wish to talk, I've abandoned the old one.

>>37269580
I think the problem is less about mod support and more about the difficulties in moderating the /rp/ board. Situations are often more complex here than 'This thread doesn't belong' or 'this person posted an NSFW picture'.

Rest assured that we're doing our best to standardise moderating on the site, and that means support from all moderators. Feel free to use me as your first port-of-call for these things, but I'm not always around and there are other moderators, all of whom care for the well-being of our users. The key thing is that you guys need to help us to help you, report posts you think need attention and use our e-mails/AIM accounts for other matters, even if they're just simple questions.

We're contactable for a reason.

I had an excellent Steampunk Braeburn profile up on there, and I didn't even use the character, not to mention the latest version of my taglist was hosted on that site.

In regards to Prospectus being gone, this has happened once before where Gravity was considering leaving for personal reasons. While I doubt that Prospectus will come back this time, I would like to say that, due to being forewarned, I have a saved copy of all public character and canon information, as well as the roleplaying handbook, in the form it was at the time. If you have lost anything that was on the site and public at the time, feel free to contact me, though keep in mind that some of it will necessarily now be outdated.

Sorry about the late response. We do have an OC criticism thread that has moved from /oat/ to /rp/ recently. When the next thread starts an official series we could use that as the official character bio thread.

The OC Criticism thread is here: >>37166730

For tags I vaguely remember what they stand for. Though I think I should take this to /meta/ first.

I have skimmed read it. Just happens that regardless of how much detail you put into a character's background they're limited to basic jobs of background ponies unless you build them up in an established canon.

Yeah, I know. I try to do too much with my first characters.

I say you can make an interesting character with a basic jobs. It is up to you how you are using that ability of the character to solve problems. Other thing are the colours and gear. Apply colours which are pleasant for the eyes, also trying not to put much gears on a pony. Even if it looks TL;DR I recommend to read it, it covers everything and a fair guide.

I'll have to remake his colors, but Handy Dandy is an earth pony who lives as a handy man. His bag is full of almost every tool known to man. Whether he uses his tools for cleaning, construction, demolition, fighting, or cooking Handy is a versatile and a creative problem solver.

Did you know you can use a hammer and anvil to maker hot cakes (if you spay it with a little PAM).

For future reference, that Handy is a brief example of a character created with the guide.

To have your character reviewed, please post his/her bio in the OC criticism thread.

Well I think a not too big bag with tools is all right. If he is a handy man, but I rather would say a handy pony then. Sound interesting to me.

If you would like to create an OC I recommend Whelp's OC guide. The link is at the bottom of the OP. I guess for help and support you could visit this thread here >>37305982.

You mean "thou art" =P

"Thy is" would be like saying "your is." Thy is the possessive form of thou, like saying "Thy table" or "thy mane."

To provide and example covering their uses of the forms of "you": "Thy table is set before thee. Thou art meant to eat at it."

I'm not so sure about the differentiation between "thy" and "thine," though.

"Thine" and "mine" are used as possessive pronouns for words beginning with vowels. "Thy" and "my" are for words beginning with consonants.

Example from Hamlet: "Would have mourn'd longer,—married with mine uncle, My father's brother; but no more like my father."

I dunno if this has been pointed out before, excuse me if it has...

But when it comes to the mouseovers on the name of the tags, the little descriptions I find it very useful.

(Mouseovers are little messages the mouse will display when they wait over certain files or words)

But um.. I believe the mouseover description for "Ponies" and "General" are the wrong way round.

That perhaps explains why there was a werewolf and now Balrog from LotRs is in my RP when I specifically tagged it to just have ponies.

Yes, the tag descriptions have been switched for quite some time, and apparently have yet to be fixed. However, if it's tagged #Ponies, you as the OP have every right to tell people to either follow the tags or leave, and if they consistently refuse to listen, report them. Mainly, if you want the tags to be followed, you have to enforce them. If someone does something against what you wanted the thread to be for, you don't have to just go along with it.

I thought I didn't need to enforce and that it was just /rp/ standard to follow the tags, if at least ask to bend the rules or if it's OK to join a supposivly #Open RP thread.

My RP going on isn't strict though, it's more to help me get back into things, but since I was expecting it with mostly ponies I thought it was kinda odd.

It's supposed to be, yes. An #Open thread, by definition, you don't need to ask to join, however. If you don't want to place much restriction on your rps, though, you might as well just use more general tags. If you're okay with something happening, might as well not add a tag that prevents it. I think the tag descriptions in the OP of this thread might be more detailed(and certainly more accurate) than the tooltips, so you might want to have a look at that.

Well I didn't wanted to place too much restrictions which is why I used less tags, since it is just a test run I wanted to do. But I still used #Ponies because my memories of old-/rp/ before the tags were pretty chaotic. I had to write the restrictions on OP because I didn't want humans with their tanks and giant mecha's going around Equestria.

While there was some violence which I know pushes #Lighthearted I didn't mind because it's in Epic's character to fight monsters. But still was expecting standard MLP:FiM settings but didn't know if I should of used the #FiM-only or I wouldn't be allowed to play as Epic nor others with there own ponies. Thats why I just used #Ponies and started it off in Everfree Forest.

I guess in my future RPs I should be more descriptive in my OPs to state exactly what I want and expect in it.

I didn't put both tags on because I know they would conflict. I don't use the FiM tag because I dunno if it means the RP must be totally based on canon, like without fan ponies or fan elements even the slightest. Just a fan story.

Try mousing over the tags and reading the descriptions. And no, FiM is not... wait, I think I explained this to you in one thread already. Read the taglist in the OP here. IT says no non-equestrians and no non-princess alicorns, things like that. It would be pointless to say no non-equestrians if nothing that wasn't canon allowed, wouldn't it?

Anyway, it's best that you read over them to understand it.

She is a Unicorn from another Dimension. Like another world where Equestria is more segregated and has a different name. I kind of wanted to make a canon with it. Not sure if that would work out....

Well, a good place to start would be in my experience An Oblivious Story. There is a character bio you must fill out first and can be submitted in the OOC link provided.

Trust me, we get alot of characters of your type floating around the mansion.
