What is Metagaming?
If you learn some information about a character or event OOC, to use it IC is a big no no.
You are not your character, which stands to reason your character would not know everything that you do.
When in doubt, discuss with those involved if it's alright for your character to know certain things.
What is Godmoding?
If you're in, say, combat RP, you are not invincible. You are not all powerful. Not even our gods and goddesses are all powerful.
Please, play realistically, take some of the hits that are thrown your way.
What is Powerplaying?
Powerplay is when you're RPing with someone and take away their autonomy.
Example: Bob kicks George and watches him cry.
The correct way to RP this is as follows: Bob aims a kick at George's shin, hoping to make him cry.
This gives George the freedom to choose how he's going to react while you still get action and intent.
Posting Etiquette
When entering a scene in progress, please wait for at least one full round of posts before posting in. This will give you a chance to understand what's going on.
When someone enters a scene, do not post them in, give them the chance to do their entrance themselves.
Thoughts in RP Are all well and good, but please give the other players something to play off of.
Example of bad thought rp: Jerry sees Alicia walk into the room. God the woman is so annoying. He really can't stand her.
Rping this way too much will be considered bullying and harassment and will be treated as such.
Instead the post should read like this: Jerry grimaced when Alicia walked into the room. He just felt she'd get on his nerves and was tense from just seeing her. He obviously couldn't stand her, so he'd glance around the room for something else to focus on.
As you can see, not only does this make your post longer, but it also conveys how the character feels about the other, and has actions and expressions to clue in the other player. Remember, none of us are mind readers.
When leaving a scene, please wait one round of posts before leaving chat range. People do like to say goodbye and get last thoughts in.
(This is not mandatory if you have rl things you need to rush off for.)
Sex in Wayward RP
Sex does tend to happen in rp at times. We expect you to treat sex the way you would irl, or rather the way your character would in the real world. Unless it's something you're into, getting caught is mortifying, or at least a little awkward. Ideally, choose a vacant place for privacy, be a little sneaky about it.
Shipping
You are free to ship how you want. Please do not harass each other.
Some pairings you will encounter for examle are Sabriel and Destiel.
