Rosette: Mods will now be more strict because in the past, there was a lot of spammed posts and "randomness" in a short period of time. This is why the rules are updated. Of course, follow the forum rules even in the role play area!

Aiyo: Everyone regardless if you have been here for a long time or just started out please do not ignore this topic.

Roleplaying Rules:

1.)No Godmodding: This means do not control other people characters, make yourself overpowered with special abilities, or being able to wriggle your way out of any situation with the wave of your hands. Just like in real life, you cannot control what another person does except for yourself.

2.) Do not start a serious relationship like Dating or Marriage unless you have that person's permission. Remember, we are a site for fun. We're not here to get into serious relationships

3.) Type in English and try to use your best grammar and spelling. Reread what you wrote.

4.)Keep this E rated

5.) Use Quality posts in a minimum of four sentences!! If you do not follow this, your post may be deleted and be considered a spam post.
Spammed rp posts include:
a.)A short sentence with few lines of text.
c.)It's not a chat room. Posts don't take a few minutes to type up.

6.)Use Reserved and Open Topics in Role Play Area rule To prevent disruption and a more organized rp, everyone is required to put RESERVED in their topic if they only allow specific characters to enter. If you do not put RESERVED, anyone can come in. In the topic itself, they can add this (characters allowed: Aiyo, Kitty...etc). Everyone not mentioned is not allowed to participate.

7.) Minor NPC role allowed We now allow you to control/use NPCs with minor roles such as Ann serving you food. What is not allowed? An NPC with a medium or major role such as your brother or Skye taking over, nearly replacing you in a post.

8.)Emoticons, images and videos are not allowed. You're suppose to describe feelings in a rp. Only Game Results may post images or others for our festivals and others.

9.)2nd Role Play Character Eligibility
a.)200 posts
b.)Following rp rules AND quality role playing. Any rule breaking and disregard will lower your chances of approval.
d.)Use both names when you do dialogue or use actions to avoid confusion.
e.)It's weird to RP with "yourself". Try not to reserve a topic for your two characters only.
f.)If your 2nd character attempt fails within the first week, you will have your character removed for a while until you are able to understand. There may be further updates but we will announce them when we update.

another rule might be not to double post, instead, use the edit button

umm, i got a question. yah, i've been a member of this sight for a while now, but i didn't start getting the hang of role playing until i started on therpdiaries. umm, are you allowed to use your characters in all of the towns or just one? like, my character lives on waffle island and i have a post there. would i be able to post elsewhere too, for example, the forget-me-not valley. i ask because it would be wierd if your character was in one place and also in another but i wanted to make sure because if you can't rp in a new place then you wouldn't be able to meet new characters..

You aren't limited to your town, so you can post anywhere. For instance my character Dylan lives in Mineral Town, but visits other places from time to time. It wouldn't be that much fun to be stranded to your hometown, afterall. ^^

If you need a way to explain how your character gets there you can say you took a boat there too.

You're not confined to one town, no. The roleplay in the Harvest Moon Worlds isn't continuous; that means you can be in more than one roleplay at a time. You can essentially go wherever you want to go.
