Welcome to Falls Apart: A MLPTales RPG. This thread will combine all the relevant info you require in order to play in the game, so please read this through fully before requesting to join. Just as a quick FYI if you have any questions, your mods in this game are myself (Kat), and LNS. We both have access to the mod account and have full moderator privileges, so if you require assistance or need something changed, please send a private message to the admin account, or if you see one of us on at the time, send us a pm. We'd be delighted to assist. :) Now, getting down to business...
THE FACTS
These are factual bits of knowledge about how we have chosen to play the game and are not up for debate.
1. This game revolves around the world created in the My Little Pony Tales tv series & comics. There is no magic whatsoever.
2. The majority of characters are earth type ponies, but you may play a unicorn or pegasi. Please note though, that neither of those types have any magical ability and pegasi cannot fly. Treat them simply as another race of ponies.
3. The ponies will be played in the anthro style, as in they walk upright on two legs and have a more human-like body with hands and fingers. They dress in clothing and participate in regular everyday activities like humans would.
4. This game is set in high school with our main characters in their final year. You can play a character of any age, however, but the majority of them should be 17/18 years old and thinking about graduating and going off to college/university/work soon.
5. Since the game play revolves around high school, there are normal clubs and sports teams your characters can be a part of. Please see the character development board for a full list of these clubs.
6. It has been decided that the name of this place is Meadowbrook. We have decided to make it bigger than it seemed on the tv show. The city's population is between 4-500,000. So it's big enough to be an exciting place, but small enough to be considered boring if your character moved here from a major city somewhere else. Please check the character development board for more information on Meadowbrook.
THE RULES
These are not completely 100% set in stone and may change from time to time, so please keep yourself updated and aware of changes. If changes are made to title of the post will be updated to reflect when the last changes were made. If you have any questions or queries, please contact the mods.
1. When you are involved with someone else in an rp, do not play their character! As an example, if you're rp'ing in a class setting and your character asks someone for a pencil, do not assume it's going to happen and write in your post that they got a pencil. Wait for the other player to post. This will not be tolerated as it is my (Kat) biggest pet peeve. I will be on the look out for this and if I see it happening, you'll be getting a nasty gram and your post will be edited. Beware. ;)
2. Make sure you READ a thread if you're going to jump into it. Pay attention to what other characters are doing; if characters are having a private conversation, do not jump into the middle of it and act as though you didn't interrupt anything.
3. There is no limit of characters for established players. If you are new to the game, you will go through a trial period (how long it lasts depends on how much time you can devote to the game). New players have a limit of three characters until we feel that you understand the concept of rp's well enough to be able to handle as many characters as you want. You may use established Hasbro ponies from any series in this game, please check the character thread to see which characters are taken.
4. There is no set rating for the game, posts can range anywhere from G to NC17. However, be mindful of others when you post. If your post is going to contain some gratuitous sex or any other potentially offensive topic, you might want to slap a warning label on it, just so people know what's in store and they don't stumble across something they might not want to read.
5. Please label the title of your post with a time period (1st period, lunch time, after school, etc) as different threads will be taking place at different times.
6. Before you play you must post up a bio in the joining section and wait until either I or LNS approves your character. Please see that area for a guideline on what to include in your joining post.
OTHER INFO
Some of us have decided that we would like to incorporate journals into this game and we have created character journals at LiveJournal. If you wish to join in please create a journal for your character and start friending all of the other character journals. Also ensure you join the community we have set up there, www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=vipers_rp. This community will be used to make announcements about things that are happening at the school or upcoming parties some of the characters may be hosting. So please ensure you have it friended to your journals. The only posts allowed at the community journals are announcement/invitation posts and you can reply to these. Think of this community as a bulletin board at school with flyers posted on it. Your replies should be limited to indicating whether you plan to take part in the named activity, please keep conversation to the character journals.
If you need any help with LiveJournal or would just like some spiffy graphics made for you, please either contact me or ask here on the board and someone will help you out.
Well that's it for the pertinent info! Please ensure you check the title of the thread to keep up with the latest ammendments and changes. If at any time you have questions or suggestions, please either post them or pm the mods. Thanks and enjoy the game!
