CLUE - Murder Mystery

Rules are dependent on the role you play in the game, however, there are a few basic tenants that should be followed by each player. Please read carefully! Although you will never be ostracized from the group by breaking a rule, it will cause interruptions, and eventually an admin will be forced to send private messages. Simply be respectful and follow the guidelines:

Social:
Naturally, you should never deliberately seek to harm another within the group, whether it be through private messaging or within the forums. If someone reports you to the admin for harassment or disrespect, you will face consequences, which may even reach past the group and to the RPR moderators as well. So just be kind to one another; there is no reason this cannot be followed.

Be that as it may, a character has every right to dislike your character. Do not confuse RP responses with the feelings of the writer. And if a scuffle does occur, talk it out. This group is for adults, so please do act as such.

Length:
The length of each reply is full dependent on the amount of people within the RP as well as the average response rate overall. As of now, the current rate is a response every other day (meaning about 3 to 6 a week) for each person. Naturally, you should never post twice in a row within the actual RP. Wait for at least two other people to reply before jumping in again.

Failure to respond within a week will result in a PM and your reply to be skipped over. If this continues, your character will be killed off by the murderer, and you will not be able to continue until the next round. If this becomes reoccurring, you will not be able to remain within the group.

Content:
Mature content is accepted fully in this RP. Violence and cursing specifically will never be blocked, not even within the chat forums. That being said, no excessive detail should be explained pertaining sexual content or other unsavory topics that will naturally feel unwelcome within writing. As of now, currently "triggered topics" include:

N/A

If you have a trigger you wish to add, PM the admin. If you are unsure about a topic (For example: perhaps your killer is also perverted in nature) you should also message to see what information should be kept public or private.

Characters:
No matter how many characters you have, each should fit the story-line without fail. Unfortunately, this means no anthros, aliens, robots, or other races generally regarded as unrealistic. Beyond that, you have free range over your character and the detail you wish to share. You are also free to adapt already created characters for use, but be sure to share the character sheet within the designated forum. The only things expected of you are as follows:

*A name
*An age and appearance
*An occupation
*A reason to be a suspect
*A basic description of personality

Your history, internal personality, home-life and family, and really anything else can be hidden from public sight, but players should still attempt to make realistic and detailed characters for use. This goes for all characters as well. Be sure that your character has a motive for murder, if chosen for the role!


Finally, simply know the role you play in the story and follow it. It's important that every member have honesty and integrity. If your character is killed, then allow them to be killed and move on to a different one. If you're the murderer, don't play god and not allow evidence to be seen. If you're the overseer, be sure that you don't forget details that break the game. Everything else is simple common sense.
