       Spelling grammar & sentence structure
       The first and most important rule of Roleplay is proper spelling
       and sentence structure. Please make sure your posts have mostly
       correct spelling & grammar using capital letters and full stops.
       Additional grammar skills are also welcomed but the basics are
       all that are needed to make sure the Role play flows and is
       understandable.
       An example of a bad post is.
       Tails runs in and punches the wall.
       This is far too short and isn’t even a complete sentence. Posts
       like this are fine from time to time but try not to make every
       post you do like that. Also they are undetailed we have no idea
       why Tail’s is doing what he’s doing and he has ignored most of
       the other players. If you post like this a lot chances are you
       won’t get many responses.
       An example of a good post is.
       Sonic assumed he was just being friendly and leaned on his hand
       looking bored. "Yeah chocolate sounds fine. Just make sure it's
       not too rich yeah never been real big on sweets." Sonic's eyes
       followed Venus as she walked in he had a small smile. "This just
       got a whole lot more interesting."
       Notice this is a complete sentence and is structured well. From
       this we know what Sonic is doing why he is doing it and we are
       also aware that Sonic is fully alerted to the environment around
       him. He is even noting characters in the background he is not
       directly interacting with because it lets other players know you
       are aware of them and will warrant people to interact with you
       more.
       Fighting
       When you engage with other member in combat it is very important
       to respect your opponent and their decisions. You CAN NOT land
       hits forcefully on a character or determine the damage done that
       is up to the other player.
       Here is an example of how to rp fight.
       Forte: With that he clasped hard to his black rings as more Fire
       appeared, as he hurled rings of fire at Sonic while trying to
       dash and barrel into him yet again.
       Sonic: One for being quite the show off Sonic jumped through the
       rings of fire sent his way striking poses after dodging through
       the middle of each one like a trained seal. He was careful not
       to touch the sides as his skin was still scorched from the last
       attack and it hurt like hell. Sonic zipped past the dash attack
       and yawns fond sitting on a rock behind forte as an attempt to
       mock him.
       Notice the dragon’s fire did not automatically hit Sonic. He
       posted shooting fire and Sonic reacted with an appropriate dodge
       because he decided the reaction to the attack and the level of
       damage done to his character.
       Example of how not to RP fight with another member
       Shadow sped towards Robotnik and shot at him using high powered
       rounds. The bullets entered the doctors head killing him
       instantly.
       You see here shadow has both forcefully made his attack hit and
       decided the other players level of damage was death. You do not
       have control over if your attacks hit another character let
       alone the level of damage that is left to the  player of the
       character being attacked. Note villains are allowed to bend
       these rules a little for story purposes and because they are
       often the target of multiple foes. This is often because the
       villain in question is rped by an arc host trying to give you a
       story.
       Basic Etiquette
       If you join a thread and you don't understand just ask! But
       please don't assume people will post or cater to you.
       Be patient with this being a forum the beauty is the rp is not
       going anywhere. Do not pester people for replies ask them
       politely. People have their own things to do away from the site.
       
       Respect other people's decisions do not badmouth another person
       out of character.
