Welcome to Stories and Biographies - Dab - 01-29-2010
The Stories and Biographies section is for the posting of stories, character logs/diaries, and character biographies.
Please act courteously to other players and their stories.
Unless a thread states that it is open to everyone, or to one of your characters, do not post in it without first asking the thread creator for permission.
Do not powergame or metagame in stories, even if they belong to you. A definition of metagaming and powergaming below;
Quote:Metagaming is the use of out-of-character knowledge in an in-character situation.
Quote:Powergaming is a particular way of playing in which the emphasis lies on developing a player character that is either as powerful as possible, usually to the detriment of other aspects of the game, such as character interaction, or violates roleplaying etiquette by either taking control of other players' characters, actions, or the outcome of a game. See here for further information.
When posting in another person's story, or incorporating another person's character into a story of your own, please take the time to send a copy of that post to the person in question for approval before posting it on the forums.
Posts that exhibit a significant level of metagaming or powergaming will be set invisible until the mod/admin who did so contacts the player the post is affecting for confirmation on whether or not they are fine with it.
The following post has good advice pertaining to this issue. It's recommended you read it prior to posting in this section.
So you want to RP - Arvg
Please cooperate with anyone a story affects.
