This area is for casual roleplayers. No need to create huge profiles and all that.

We do have a few rules and helpful hints:


You may notice people using some aberrations that will be commonly used. Here are some explanations to the most common you may find:
RP: Role-play
TC : The City
IC: In Character, will refer to you character actions while you role-play
OOC: Out Of Character, refers to anything said besides the actual roleplaying. Please be sure to label such messages accordingly
PM: Private Message
RFP: Read First Post; the creator of the roleplay wishes that you read the first post of the thread before joining the roleplay as it contains information vital for participation.
Substantial sentences: at least 10 words per sentence.


General Rules

No One-lining: one-lining refers to any post that does not have more than one line or sentence of IC text or when the IC text is made entirely of speech. An easy way to avoid this is pressing enter to separate speech from action.
NOTE: Quoting and OOC comments DO NOT count towards the posts.

No Two-waying: 'Two-waying' is described as Six or more posts in a row between only two members. However, we do encourage story building and understand that sometimes two players can have vital impact on the story. So, for these purposes there is a way around this rule: Half of the total posts involved in the 'two-waying' must be five or more substantial sentences in length.

No Double posting: This means there two posts, one after the other, from the same member. We encourage you to make use of the edit function for add-ons. Double posts will be warned.

No Spamming: This means posts that don't relate to the thread you are posting in. It also means posts that are completely OOC. Any OOC comments should be accompanied by a character post.

No Plagiarism: When posting work that is not your own, like lyrics and such, be sure to post the name of the author and title. You also need the permission to recreate any role-play that was posted by someone else.

PG-13 content: When posting, keep in mind that there are younger members participating as well. This means that content of your posts can't include explicit actions and descriptions that are not suitable for the eyes of younger members.

Thread creation

If you wish to create a new thread here, be sure to have at least five or more substantial sentences worth of description. Description counts as anything that describes the environment or setting that the Role-Play takes place in.

All TC threads are required to have at least 5 substantial sentences of environmental description in the first post. This means describing the nature of the thread. This can't be included in a character post.

For better orientation, we would advise you to label your thread name in with one of the following labels according to the difficulty of your setting:
[Minor RP] =minor role-play, for threads with a basic storyline that however doesn’t require advanced RPing skills. Profiles are usually not expected.
[Intermediate RP] = for a RP that is of slightly higher level than a minor RP and may require a character profile.
[Major RP] =advanced role-play, for roleplays that demand detailed descriptions and good RPing skills. Profiles are usually expected.
[Spar] =for closed battles between two or more characters
