Workshop Rules

[BANZAI!!!!]

Welcome to the Workshop

 

 

 

Welcome to the next big thing in the land of YCM RPs: the Workshop!

 

What's the Workshop, I hear you asking? The Workshop is a place for the community to help one another improve their ideas, be they RP concepts, characters, worlds, or anything else that might not fall under the above. Unlike the OOC section, the Workshop is more of a place for discussion, and as such we'll be keeping things a bit more casual and informal in here than we do in OOC. Here's how it works.

 

 

 

Workshop Rules

 

 

 

0. BE HELPFUL! All replies in the Workshop are meant to be constructive. We're here to help one another, not necessarily critique. This is rule 0 because is super important.

 

1. All YCM and OOC section rules apply in the Workshop.

 

2. All Opening Posts (but not replies) must adhere (loosely) to the RP Section Advanced Clause. What this means is that, if you're going to post something in the Workshop, it must be no less than 100 words in length or 4 lines long. Since the Workshop is a more casual forum, this will not be enforced as strictly as it is in the RP section, but that doesn't mean you should post single-sentence topics and expect your topic to stay unlocked.

 

3. All Topics in the Workshop must be tagged with one of the following descriptors:

• [Discussion]- We used to put these kinds of threads in OOC, but now they go here. They're for dialogue about running RPs, making characters, etc. they are NOT help topics.
• [RP]- These threads are for working on Roleplays themselves. Think of these as pre-OOC threads where you iron all of the kinks out of your concept.
• [Character]- For Character creation help, either with an idea you have, or just asking for input from other members about what kind of character you should make for a given RP. Also applies to hosts who want to make NPCs and villains.
• [setting]- Similar to RP, but specifically for stuff pertaining to worlds. Usually what you'll post if you need help adding to your database thread, or if you're trying to come up with a cool setpiece for an RP..
• [Mechanics]- For gameplay related things. For instance: How magic will function in a fantasy rp. Hosts may also post threads with this tag if they want help spotting rules violations (like godmodding).
• [Misc.]- If you don't think your help topic falls into any of the above categories, tag it with Misc. The RP Moderator will re-tag it if necessary.
