Angel's Gate
Admin Rhiannon Ellis	Angel's Gate is one of the most peaceful, friendly and happy villages in the world. Everyone get's along and if someone doesn't like someone else they keep their feelings inside of them. No hurtful words are ever used, nobody uses foul language. The place is like heaven on earth and the people inside are like Angels. Crime isn't even an issue in this beautiful place. At least, that's what it used to be like, but now, a new terror has soiled the village. No one knows where it has come from, no one knows what it looks like, all they know is that it's destroying the best place they have known, and their own home. There is so much panic in the village that everything seems to be going wrong. The school closed due to too many fights, something that has never happened before. Those people with weak hearts refuse to leave their homes and business' are going under. Can anyone save the terror that has overcome this brilliant place? Can anyone turn it back to what it used to be or will it have to change it's name to Devil's Punchbowl? A place that no one will ever want to visit, where crime is at it's max and no one is ever at peace. Are YOU going to do something to help this town or are YOU going to help change it to Devil's Punchbowl?	Easy Links Rules Roleplaying Guidelines Registration Claim a celebrity Affiliate With Us

Roleplaying Guidelines

1. Check your spelling and grammer
This really isn't something difficult to do, as when you post, next to the preview button, there is a spell check button. If you press this every time you post it will make it much easier for everyone else. Remember, spelling and grammer are your friends.

2. Don't use 'txt' (text) talk when you are in character
Not everybody understands text talk and it is a lot easier to understand if you write out exactly what you want to say. You wouldn't read a book full of text talk will you. Text talk is another name for abbreviated words, such as, thx.

3. Write in third person
Remember, you are posting about someone else, not yourself so you won't be writing: 'I walked into the room' but you would write: 'Rhiannon walked into the room'. This makes it easier for everyone else. You can use 'I, we, you and us' when your character is speaking.

4. Keep your character the same
Don't change your character's personality because you are posting with a different person. As convienient it is for you to change the dislikes and likes of your character to make it easier to post, it wouldn't happen in real life.

5. Plots are always good
As much fun as it is to continue doing spontanious posting, there really is nothing better than well thought-out plots for your character. It helps in thinking of something to do with your character and makes everything a lot more enjoyable.

6. You can only move YOUR character and say what THEY are doing
If you post what someone else is doing in your post it is known as powerplaying. This is not accepted in role-playing as the person who's playing the other character may not want their character to do that action.

7. You don't always have to post
And sometimes it's best not to. If you come across an open thread that is quite far in the progress of something, it may be better if you don't post. If two people are having a private conversation and you turning up won't contribute in anyway then there really is no point in you posting at all. Just leave them to it and find another thread to post in or create your own.

8. Read it all
When you are going to jump into a thread, you need to read everything that has already been posted so you can be alert and aware of what has happened. This also makes it simpler for you to post something in reply.

9. Remember this isn't real!
Everyone is playing someone else, we have ALL created a character and that character may be the complete opposite of what the person behind that person is like. This means that any disputes you may have between your characters, keep it just between those, don't carry it on in the OOC boards.

10. Don't post in closed threads!
This is pretty much self-explanitory. If you see a thread that has the word 'closed' or someone's name in the title and you know it isn't for you then don't post. Most people create closed threads because they have a plot going on and they don't want someone else interferring with it.
