Hello, and welcome to the Mobile Suit Gundam: Extra Finish's main RP![/b]
Playing is simple, but first, you need to make a character. Just go to the Profile sub-board and make a character. When it’s accepted, just go to the main mission thread and post about what your character does, like writing a story. But I would suggest reading up on the mission first, just so you know what’s going on.
We do have one major rule that we have to ask you to abide by.
That rule is that you must think before you post.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our RP posts here at the MSG:EF RP. It doesn't have to be Orson Scott Card, but we expect a bare minimum of good spelling, grammar, punctuation and indentation. (We will be lenient if English is not your first language, so let us know.)
A common issue is the "wall of text" - please space your paragraphs correctly. No one likes reading massive chunks of text. Just hit the enter/return button a few times, or whatever button you use to space out paragraphs.
Please do not "godmod" - that is, post about your character inflicting far more damage than he would realistically be able to, and/or ignoring enemy fire. Everyone has an equal chance of being shot, or even killed, in the mission. Even we Admins with our own characters are not invincible. Play fair and respectfully with one another.
Most importantly, pay close attention to what other people are posting, and be very clear about where your character is and what he/she's doing. It helps keep the RP on track and causes less confusion. Countless other RPs have been slain by carelessness in this regard, we don't want to be counted among them.
Posts will be deleted if they:
A) Are difficult to understand
B) Involve godmodding
C) Do not "mesh" with what other people are posting
D) Contain minimal content that could otherwise be better expressed later
E) Are not PG-13 (Proboards Rules, not ours, just keep it clean).
I must reiterate this for emphasis: your post will be DELETED, without warning and without exception. If you log on one morning and your RP post is gone, it probably was deleted. We try to send PMs and reasoning of why the post was deleted, but if you don’t receive one, just ask. Don’t rage.
Player VS Player (PVP) Rules
There will be occasions when people's characters have to RP a fight with other peoples' characters. There are rules to govern these situations also.
Please, do not RP the other characters' actions, or the effects of attacks that are not directed against you.
For example, if Zaku A and GM B are fighting, and Zaku A posts something like "I shoot the GM in the head with my beam rifle and he dies", that is WRONG.
If Zaku A posts something like "I fire my Beam rifle, shooting for the GM's head", that is RIGHT.
If GM B then posts "I dodge the beam rifle bolt, and then fire my gun at the Zaku, making him dodge and jump off the cliff", that is WRONG.
If he instead posts "I dodge the beam rifle bolt, and then fire my gun at the Zaku in an attempt to get him to dodge off the cliff", that is RIGHT.
Also, keep in mind to avoid godmodding. Saying "The Zaku's beam rifle hits me in the face but I shrug off the blow and keep fighting" is WRONG.
The key to winning a PvP fight is to follow these rules, and maneuver the fight into a position where the other player cannot realistically dodge or avoid the damage. Since you cannot say "The enemy is stabbed by my beam saber" you instead have to get the fight to a position where you can say "I stab my beam saber at the enemy", and the only reasonable, realistic response he could possibly make is to say "I get stabbed." If he can find some way out of it that you didn't think of, that's fair game as long as it's not godmodding or controlling some other player character or describing the effects of attacks that aren't directed at you.
Killing the other players' NPC squadmates or even the player himself is perfectly within the rules, so long as you follow the rules in doing so.
No, that does NOT make NPCs easy to kill. You treat NPCs as other players and have to basically ‘trap’ the player into having to sacrifice the NPC. PvP is much like a game of chess. You need to outsmart your opponent and in time, corner him/her in a position that is nearly impossible to escape from without getting hurt.
With PvP allowed in the main mission currently, if two players with to fight it out, they must BOTH agree that during the fight, their characters can be killed. If a fight is initiated, the Staff will not listen to ANY complaining, what so ever
Please, this isn't hard at all to do, its just common sense.
