01/18/2012 01: PM  RULES *Everything said in Stream, through comments, or in messages is said IN character, unless otherwise stated. *Let me repeat that: if you see these lovely marks //, that means I am talking OOC. So, when you don't see them, that means it's Trystin talking. Please don't be that person who thinks creator and character are one in the same and get pissy OOC over something Trystin did. *Literacy is a big thing with me. I am constantly correcting people I know OOC when they say or spell something wrong. The occasional accident is fine, but if it happens more than once, or I have to read your reply several times just to try and understand what you wrote, you're on your way to being deleted. If I like you, I might give you a warning before I do that.  *I prefer para, and really only talk in one-liners if it's in first person and it's just chit chat. If you can keep me entertained with a multi-para, you are on your way to becoming one of my favorite people.   *Do NOT God-mode my character. He is of my design. He is not from a TV show or movie, and the only books he appears in are the ones I myself wrote. God mode him and I destroy you. I do not take this sh*t lightly. *Do NOT tell me what MY character can and can't do, or what he will or won't do. Like I said, he is of my design, not yours. Characters are very special to their writers, so don't f*** with mine and I will show you the same respect. *I like to RP in the third person. I don't like seeing - or * to clarify actions (unless we are on stream). I RP as if I'm writing a book. If we're just getting to know each other, I'll RP first person, but once we're past the greetings and such, I will change it. If you don't go along, I will stop talking to you. Consider this your warning. *If you start getting mad at me the writer for things Trystin is doing, I will delete you. If something makes you uncomfortable or you want to try something in a different way, let me know, I am very understanding. But if you outright yell at me for something, I will have you reported, deleted, and blocked because you are an immature child that needs a time-out in order to learn how to act like an adult.  * I do prefer to RP through messages, as it is easier for me, but I'll cooperate if you RP through comments. I don't keep all the comments people send me, only the ones I like and made me smile/laugh. However, if it takes more than a day for me to reply to your comment (and I've logged on since then) it is likely I didn't hit "send comment" the second time, so remind me and I'll get back to you. But if you're an ass about it, consider our RP over and your ass deleted. *I don't care if our opinions differ on numerous things OOC, if you start arguing with me and trying to make me change my mind, I will delete you. *I don't add just to have a high number of friends. You want to be a mute? You will be granted with my eternal silence. *If your character can turn into an animal, well that's awesome for you. But do NOT become an animal for any more than ONE reply to me. If your character is still in animal form by the second reply, and doesn't have the ability to talk, I will let you know that you're an idiot, you don't know how to RP properly, and that I will be deleting you. Even if they can talk, there better be a good reason as to why they're still an animal. *I don't much care for the RPers who are real people. If you follow their life with your character, alright, whatever, but if you're changing everything about them, what was the point? You've got to pretty damn special for me to consider otherwise. *If you are RPing as a character from a TV show, book, or movie and I see that you have completely changed their character (turned them bi, lesbian, or gay) I will not  RP with you; you have to be pretty damn special for me to actually do so. For example. if you are a Twilight RPer and have changed who they are dating (aka instead of Alice with Jasper, she's now with Emmett or someone and so on), I will also not write with you. *If it takes you days to reply back to me (and you didn't give a warning saying it would take a while), and I see that you've been online since, I will consider our RP over. Feel free to start another one, but I will not be sending the starter for a second try, that's up to you to do. *There are times I fall out of the mood of writing and it will take me a while before finally giving you a reply, but I will always warn you. *Trystin will not get into a relationship with someone who can't make him a priority. *There are occasions when I will have a storyline going that puts Trystin back in high school (as I have no problem RPing from a past perspective), just because it works better for the two characters involved. Do know, any moment or kiss shared with him at this point does NOT put your character in a relationship with him. Keep in mind where our characters stand in the present, don't forget the storyline is taking place in past, so do not try and force a relationship or try and make one work out between them. If anything, we can start a new thread of the two reuniting after years and see where that takes them. *There are very, very few people I am willing to roleplay with that I will not request to sign my rules- those people know who they are. If I start getting a lot of storylines going with people who haven't signed, I will put the unsigned RPs on hold and give everyone a warning, giving the people a time frame in order to sign or at least read them, or they will not get a reply from me. Once that time is up, there will be no more warnings and those messages will just collect dust until they are smart enough to figure it out. A week passes, and you are off my friend's list. *If it takes you weeks or months to reply back to me, one: it is very surprising I kept you around that long, two: have the courtesy to send back my reply because it is guaranteed that I no longer have that message and have no memory of the last things I said to you. Do not expect me to be able to just pick up where we left off. *There will be a cleaning of my friend's list once a month at least. A warning will be posted to stream and hour before it begins. If you fear you will fall victim and don't want to, reach out to me before it happens. REPLIES If it takes me 24 or more hours to reply back to you, one of three things has happened: *your reply got lost on the way to me *my reply got lost on the way to you *I am not in the mood to write (if this is the case, you will have been warned ahead of time) So, please, if 24 hours have passed and you haven't received anything from me, let me know. However, as with everything, there are exceptions. *my RL job is from 3:00am-1pm (sometimes later), Arizona time (look it up if you want to know our time difference). I will never reply while at work. *I told you ahead of time that it would be a few days before I could reply. I will be trying to keep this to a minimum, so, again, let me know if you haven't gotten a reply. *Some times I am just not in the mood for storylines, but I will be around on streams and such. If you piss at me for being online but leaving you waiting, I will immediately delete you and your reply. Also, I have a list of "favorites", and those people will always get replies first. Even if there's a few people waiting for replies, once I reply to a Favorite, I will begin moving through the others, but if any Favorite gets back to me before I'm done, I will reply to them again before continuing. There is no physical list to find, so you'll never know if you're one of my Favorites, and they change often. If our RP is keeping me very interested or on the edge of my seat, you're a Favorite, but once it starts winding down, another may replace it. The only guarantee that you're on the Favorite list is if your character is in a relationship with mine, Trystin has a crush on your character, or you character is one of Trystin's best friends. Trystin's Besties will always get replies first, and they are the ones he has links to on his page. Did you get all that? Please sign below with:   *a picture of an animal that could represent your character (if you are mobile and can't, just state what the animal is) *your character's name *and the year you began RPing. They're pretty basic, so I have a low tolerance for the people that don't follow them.  Also, as a courtesy, if you're a multi account, or the name of your profile isn't your characters name (for example, your profile name is Sex Kitten, but your character's name is Natalie), please work the character's name I am RPing with into your reply at least once. There are times where I have so many things to respond to, that I get mixed up and can't remember everyone's names. So please stay away from constantly saying "he" or "she" in your entire reply. It would help me a lot. **Disclaimer: As Trystin's profession is an artist, there are times where paintings or sketches will be posted. I did none of them IRL unless otherwise stated.** ~subject to changes and additions without notice~ 1 Comments  Report Post
