Ground Rules!

[quu]

List three ground rules that will make your RP experience FULL OF JOY.

For me,
1) Everyone deserves a turn in the spotlight (and will get it XD)
2) It's the journey, not the destination. Winning or finishing is not that important to me as long as the trip is entertaining.
3) People should feel comfortable discussing any problems they have with each other or with the group as a whole. Nobody is going to wank on you here. Or I will kill them.

1.) I don't want to be obligated to tag anything or anyone. I don't have a lot of time and I'm honestly very exhausted with the pressure to keep momentum in DWRP. If I say I can't or won't, then I can't or won't.
2.) McCoy is an adult. I'd like for him to be treated like one.
3.) Unrequited and lost love is a theme in his life. I'd like to see it continue.

1) Scheduled sessions start no later than 10 minutes past the stated meeting time.
2) It'd be nice to have some kind of preset mechanic to explain "Sir Not Appearing In This Adventure" moments in the event someone has to take a week off for illness/travel/etc.
3) We should give each other space to be silly with our characters sometimes.

1) I don't care if i get spotlight or not, i want to have fun, because this is my first strangers-rp in like... a couple years at least, and i remember it being fun.
2) i'm kind of sarcastic sometimes and this might reflect a bit in my character, though honestly, he can be sarcastic too.
3} this one too.

Okay! Things I'd like--

1. That it be okay to be slow, BUT it also be okay to be honest about the threads we want/want to drop. I'm pretty sure everyone here is an adult with tons of RL responsibilities, so inevitably sometimes threads lag a little, and usually that creates sort of uncomfortable situations where you're like-- "Well, I really like this thread, but it's been a few days, and I'm not sure if the other person still wants to..."

So, TL;DR I'd love it if it were okay to be like "Hey, I really like this thread and I want it to keep going; do you?" But if the other person isn't all that invested, they should feel comfortable to say that, too.

2. THIS FEELS SORT OF VERY BASIC AND NOT WORTH MENTIONING BUT-- that it's okay to screw up occasionally, ICly or OOCly.

3. Not every thread needs to be 2034832052 comments long. Sometimes short ones are okay because not everyone is always going to spend each encounter having five-hour conversations! Same with comment length -- as long as there is something to respond to, I personally duncurr about comment length.
