StorylineAll roleplays should be maintained to be
updated to the manga of Fruits Basket. So all incidences, actions, events are to be centered on this.
ALL roleplayers must (as much as possible) keep updated on the current happenings in the
manga and the
roleplay.
Roleplaying Guidelines:- Always use third person and past tense when roleplaying.
- ALWAYS remember to roleplay in-character.
- Refrain from over-using italics, bold, and underline. Italics are reserved for internal thoughts of a character.
- All out-of-character comments should be placed in ((double parentheses)) or **double asterisk**
- Always use line breaks or paragraphs.
- Avoid one-liners. Make sure to not only add dialogue in roleplaying but actions and mannerisms as well. Minimum amount of lines per post is 5 sentences.
- Always post threads on the correct boards.
- Please remember to indicate the time and day of the roleplay so that roleplayers will not end up having to handle so many threads at a certain time. In indicating the time and day please follow this format:
Subject: [Week Number] Thread Title - Day, Time of Day
For example:
Subject: [W1] Late for Work - Wednesday, Late AfternoonPlease make sure that someone hasn’t opened a thread at the same place and time as yours.
Also please post the following in the
Timeline Planning thread each time you start a roleplay so that the calendar may be updated:
Day
Thread Title - Location, Time of day
Roleplayers joining this thread
For Example:
Sunday
Waiting Patiently - Souma Compound, Mid-morning
-Current Roleplayers: Momiji, Hatsuharu - If you want to invite others for a roleplay, please PM them or email them. You could also plan upcoming threads in the News and Announcements. Threads should be planned before they begin and if you were not a part of the planning for that scene then your entrance might disrupt the plot. So please notify the other RP-ers before you enter a thread (contact them through PM or e-mail).
- Do not powerplay. Do not perform another roleplayer’s actions, or dialogues for them unless there isn’t a specific RP-er for that character. This also means NO GOD-MODDING.
- Please follow the post order. If Tohru posts in a certain thread first, then Arisa, then maybe Yuki you must follow that order until a new character comes in (or a current leaves) until the thread is finished.
- For those who would like to roleplay as a character, please fill in the Roleplayer Application form. Applications will now be screen in the forums so all applications should be posted here. As a special requirement, we would like you to also insert the word "grapefruit" into your sample roleplay in the most creative way possible. ^_^
- Contact an admin, a global moderator, or the Fruits Basket moderator when you have finished a thread (and, consequently, need to close it) or when your thread changes locations.
- We are requiring all the roleplayers with the roles of main characters to have at least 3 threads at a time and at least 6 threads per week (in the roleplay timeline). For minor characters at least 2 threads at a time, and at least 4 threads per week. If you wish to do more than the minimum threads asked you are encouraged to do so.
