There's a few of those in place, but maybe it wouldn't hurt to add a few more general ones, like respecting offs and the character takeover thing. I don't know how necessary it is for a sandbox rp? But it could be worth having the rule, just in case.<br/><br/>I had a tendency to recycle rules, too, on another site. It makes it so much easier, no?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Sorry, I thought that was something everyone knew. RoP = Rules of Play. My bad. Respecting offs should not be necessary at all! People should know to respect another players offs. However, I have come across players who seemed to think that because the story was in "Non-Consent" it meant they could do what they liked to my character, regardless of whether I wanted them to. In a one-on-one game this is not a problem, you simply drop the game and start it with someone else. But in a group game it is more complex and the GM needs to be able to point to something specific (Site rules are a little vague on the subject).<br/><br/>Taking over abandoned characters is necessary in a sandbox too, I have found, because - well, take the situation with myself and Letrixia: our characters are now engaged in mortal combat to the death... (*snigger*) If one of us drops out now, the other is left hanging, unable to complete the scene, unless permission has been obtained either explicitly or implicitly for someone else to take over the character... Point worth noting (And this is just an example, I'm not saying that anything like this would ever happen), if I dropped out, and Letrixia posted that Hitomi brought Maggie to a climax, I<em>could</em>claim god-moding and copyright infringement just on that...<br/><br/>I seriously doubt that anyone would ever be<em>that</em>petty, but it was the only example I could think of! So a simple rule stating<br/>that a dropped character will be NPCed to extract him/her from any scene can save a whole host of issues.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Could you try to aim for two paragraphs with your posts, please? :-)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Please? There is only just enough detail in your post for me to reply to, and a little more - taking the action a little further would help enormously.<br/><br/>Please don't worry about moving things on, I'd rather have a decent length post to reply to all at once that have to respond to every single little detail, and if you do something I'm unhappy with, I will PM you.
