Roleplay Rules

Please be sure to review all of the rules before applying for a character, or posting your initial RP post.

• Be respectful. That means, unless you plan on ruffling some feathers, to keep your language in your posts to a minimum, and not insulting any characters. However, in tense moments, go ahead - call someone an asshole, or a fucker, or whatever you'd like. Just keep it on a low level.
  
• To apply to be a culprit, send me (Liya) a message, with your victim, motive, method of murder, weapon, location and evidence. Do not be alarmed if your application is rejected at the time - this is probably because a murder is too soon, or there has already been another culprit chosen.
  
• If you are chosen randomly as a culprit, you can back out only one time. If you are chosen again, sorry! You're stuck killing someone!
  
• If you are chosen as a victim, you can't continue posting in the roleplay. You're dead. However, you can still participate in the Afterlife, or you could post in the OOC chat. You are very much allowed to continue reading along with the still-living students, but you unfortunately are not allowed to help with the school trials.
  
• If you are killed, you CAN NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES reveal your killer. If you do, you'll be banned from posting, no further questions.
  
• Please post at least two paragraphs per post. There are exceptions, but no single lines of any sort.
  
• If you'd like, you can change the color of your dialogue to a visible color, in order to distinguish it from your character's actions.
  
• Try to make your posts neat and easy to read.
  
• To refer back to something a character had said, during school trials, use a quote.
  
• During school trials, do not mindlessly accuse someone of murder without having some explanation, unless of course your character has witnessed it.
  
• Before a culprit is chosen and executed, everyone must come to a full conclusion as to how the murder was conducted, and what the murder weapon was, in addition to the culprit.
  
• Only once a culprit is chosen and executed will I (as Monobear) explain the murder more thoroughly.
  
• When a murder occurs, there will be a forum-wide announcement. However, not until 3 characters find the body will the body discovery be announced.
  
• All Monobear Files will be archived, and announced forum-wide. It is recommended that this is referred to, often, during the School Trial.
  

There are guidelines for culprits, as well. Not all of the information is required, however, as I could pick out the details for you, but it is prefered that those chosen as the murderers message me the details of the murder. The guidelines include:

• Victim
  
• Motive
  
• Weapon
  
• Method
  
• Location of Murder
  
• Location of Body (if different from the crime scene)
  
• Evidence left behind (If you do not specify, I'll make it up!)
  

That's it for roleplay rules, however they are subject to change.
Suggestions for rule changes can be added to this thread, as well.
