RP Rules - updated Sept 17th 08

[emgeal]

Just because there are from photobucket does NOT meant that they are free for use. You could always pay an artist to create your character for you and then you can display that image wherever you'd like.

You can also use a base or lineart (same thing different names) to create your own reference. You only need to have Microsoft Paint which is basic on many computers. A lineart like this one http://saqe.deviantart.com/art/Free-lin ... -209499396 could serve your needs. You could color it and upload it on photobucket with a link to the original in the description and use that here.

If you want to use photographs just find some wolf stock photography. Some Stock Wolf Photos Just make sure you read the rules very carefully and link back to the original. Some artists do not want their art used off of Deviantart, the rules could be on the image or there might be a link to their Journal where the rules are. Each artist has different rules.

Do not say something like that on the thread as it could greatly upset or offend the person. Also keep in mind that just because someone often plays in lower level RP's does not mean they are not capable of playing in a level that requires more. Most of my posts are two paragraphs, but I've played in a few in the past that had a six paragraph minimum. If I really wanted to join something I would commit to the six paragraphs and provide it, I just don't do that often. So you wouldn't want to look at my five, or even ten most recent RPs to judge what I am capable of. I may have decided to put more effort into this one new RP then others.

In short give that person a chance. The creator of the RP can ask them to leave if they aren't fitting the requirements within the first few posts.

I have a question--
Is it allowed to post a thread looking for group roleplays? I would post in the 1X1 roleplay section, but I want a group one, not a single one.

Don't make your own thread. Instead check out this sticky in the Human section of the RP board that is used to advertise group RPs. viewtopic.php?f=28&t=330676

Would that be okay if I wanted a group wolf RP, even though it's in the human section?
(Sorry, I'm sorta clueless.... ^^')

Since there isn't one in the animal RP section: Yes.

[ferssier ;]

Okay, thank you very much! :]

Do you think it would e a good idea to make a Rp where your 'sona and charries interact with others 'sonas and charries? Or would that be boring because it has no plot?

I'd say there should be a rule on making your own characters for roleplays as I see people taking copyrighted pictures people have drawn and spent hours on and using them for roleplaying, it's just getting a bit frustrating but I don't know if it's "legal" on the site. I would just consider it art theft, and character theft.

I would probably call it Piggybacking.
