New Players Guide to the JvS Universe

Old thread got eaten by the hungry servers... so here is a new one. Thanks to Chill for offering to sticky it so fast. :)

We lost a lot of information on this. It's gonna suck if we gotta start from scratch.

There may be backups, I'll find out.

just great, we have to start from scratch

I've still got the newbs top ten somewhere.

Can you post it? I am sure it will be extremely helpful

Here's the draft that I saved. It needs a little editing, but it's about ready.

[quote:12tpo4sq][narration:12tpo4sq]1. Do have fun, but remember that you need to write in a manner that others will understand. Write as if you're writing something for school, not a text message.

2. Feel free to enjoy yourself, nobody is going to tell you what to do. But remember, this site revolves around interactions between players. Ticking them off is not cool. True. We should let them know that, if they want to play a non-canon char, or a restricted or banned species, they must make sure that whoever they RP with knows, and agrees with it. It needs to be planned out.

3. When you write, write your best. It's okay if you can't write stories. But don't write something like *He was tall, strong and handsome. He walked along the path to the large stump and sat there* Put more detail. Don't make it so bland that I could sharpen pencils with it.

4. If you have a problem with someone, quote it and pm the person or bring it up on the planets OOC board first.

5. Do try to be clear and consistant in your use of colours, too many different ones can lead to a confusing post, if in doubt stick to the "action", "narration", etc.

6. "While if it hasn't been written it hasn't happened, just because someone has written it doesn't mean you know it yet, your character should not become omnipotent".

7. If you're RPing with someone who's a crappy Rper and doesn't know what they're doing, be the example. Make a good post of good size. Don't just follow the trend.

8. If you post in a different language (i.e. mando'a, vong, etc) it is polite to add a translation for other rpers that can't read that language.

9. Don't be afraid to ask for help or suggestions.

10. Suggestive themes are kosher, but explicit sexual themes are a no-no, for legal reasons, and cannot be done.[/narration:12tpo4sq][/quote:12tpo4sq]
