RD (Radiant Dreams) is a post-by-post RP forum. Meaning each person posts one after another in turn. There is no double posting, and unless permission is given you cannot post before the next person in line.
There is an exception to OOC posts.
All role plays are open unless specified in some way. If you wish to keep it private, do something like "Post name (Private)" or "Post name (Name of who you're role playing with)" There are many different ways to announce that it is not open. If by chance someone does post in your private thread (As long as it says in the title it is private.) you may ask them to delete their post, and remind them it is private.
Do not create Mary-Sue, or Gary-Stu characters. Mary-Sue's and Gary-Stu's are 'perfect' characters. They have no weakness, have incredible powers, are absolutely adored by the opposite gender and make everything about them. They're the ones with the terrible histories that seem unaffected by it.
-Or as I like to call them, whores. Please don't be a whore.
God Modding and Power Playing are also huge no-no's. God modding is doing the undo-able, surviving the worst hits. Getting out of something that isn't possible to get out of, etc. Power playing on the other hand, is quite similar. Using the others character, or making the other character do or say things. A good example is: She grabbed her dagger from her side, tossing it at the man in front of her. The thin, sharp blade dug into his leg, leaving the man wailing in pain. When fighting, everything is an attempt. It is up for the person to decide if you've hit them, and what damage you've done. Something that is allowed: She took her dagger from her side and tossed it from her hand toward the male in front of her, aiming for his leg. If it managed to hit it would most likely have him howling in pain, giving her time to get away.
We don't have a base word count, but if we see that people aren't adding enough to their posts, we'll make one. Let this be a warning. Shorter OOC posts are fine, but RP's must be detailed.
