Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leave. this isn't for play. Unless you have something relevant to say, back off.

THESE ARE THE MOST ANNOYING THINGS EVER.

Don't be an a** when you choose the part your character has.

A perfect example is The Magic Within, a roleplay in this guild. There are, like, fifteen "crystal bearers" which have to be girls, and around five protectors. EVERY CRYSTAL BEARER IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A PROTECTOR. Because YOU GIRLS won't GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE and play a BOY, the whole ******** thing is screwed up! AND, WE HAVE THREE CORIPIOS.

Now, back to topic. You can't rely on everyone else to have the less glamorous parts, or to play a boy or something. You aren't a princess, not everything needs to be handed to you on a silver plate.

It is really annoying, because then the more experienced roleplayers--or more flexible roleplayers--have to cover for you.

Don't choose a part just because it makes your character "special." Get it?

And, another example, ade2's new roleplay, BREAK OUT. There are tons of prisoners--which are all FEMALE!!!!--and, like, two guards (one female) and one cop. - _ -; Grow up!

Also, if you want your character to be famous, you shouldn't make them nice, or they should be stupid, or they should be bad a sports or something. That's a MARY SUE / GARY LOU (?). EVERYONE HATES THOSE.

That brings me to another topic.

Don't be a Rapunzel.

This is a metaphor... Anyway.

In Rapunzel, Rapunzel gets trapped in a tower, waiting for a prince to save her. In fact, almost all princesses are like that.

So, what I'm saying is that if you're playing a girl that has a crush on a boy or vice versa, the object of affection shouldn't just ignore everything. It's horribly boring--and embarrassing--when people do that.

It makes people feel stupid to push for romance when the other person isn't listening.

AND ANOTHER

Don't make romance between your characters.

That is really boring and irritating. I admit to doing that one of the first times I roleplayed (well, my boy character liked my girl character), but I haven't done it since. If you want romance between two characters so badly, ask another person to play the other end of the couple. Easier said than done, yes, because it's embarrassing, but that's better than being scowled and hissed at.

Oh, I know. You're cool like that.

In Chess Pieces, Olivia and Daisuke's "romance" is quite... REALLY ******** AWESOME

x3

Super-sexy sleep voice... ;D

I concur vehemently with that statement... twisted

Working with other Players

You will run into instances where certain activities with another character will dramatically affect that character. Good examples are:
*violence
*sex
*rape
*kidnapping
*etc
Proper manners dictate you talk between yourself and the other player to come to an effective solution to the further posts. And always, ask permission before doing something serious to another player's character.

God modding is oft seen acting like God.

But it really isn't. It's killing, kidnapping (as Sailor said), etc., without asking the person you are doing that to, or controlling another person's character somehow.

I'm glad you stopped doing that, Sailor. ^^ We all start somewhere!
