Some basic rules if you want to have anything with me

[Durwyn]

I were once fighting with some annoying dwarf who i killed 4 times and he was everytime going back from DR to me in lass then 10 minutes. And trying to RP that a dwarf always wins and i need to die.
The 5th time he got me as i got tired and didn't realise my weapons were hided ;]

Yeah, some rules are needed to avoid such a silly situations.

Nikodemus, it was me, i remember xD

I was trying to avoid using your name, but if you insist^^

1. Agreed. Even if you know where a person is, it does not mean your character would.

2. Agreed. I would actually like to see the system to do this. At least for an hour anyways. 24 hours is a bit heavy.

3. No. I would agree with a few hours, or maybe even a day. That is what it will likely be once the DR is 'completed'. Plus, "your soul is blind and lost there and probably needs help out of there" is in direct conflict with what the settings say about the DR. Your soul does not go there alone, and in fact you are ressurected (your body is recreated) at the moment of death in the DR. You are quite alive and kicking in the DR, with no ill affects. The portal is just a way to bring your live body back to the 'living' realm. However, any fool running back from the DR to attack you again in less then half an hour or an hour should just be ignored.

4. Agreed. Also, do not EVER play another person's actions for them. One moron tried to do that with me once, and said my character was hit with a bolt of energy and was twitching on the floor. Odd, seeings how I was still standing, and no one else saw it happen. Only GMs can control your actions.

5. Do not state what you are thinking in open chat, and no one can claim to read your mind. Example: Moon looks around the room, thinking that Socia reminds him of his grandmother.

Bad form.

On the other hand, "I read your mind so i knew you were going to toss that fish at my head." is also very bad form.

In addition to socia's rules, I would add

6. PAY ATTENTION TO NPCS!!! Even though they do nothing, you should not be playing that they do nothing. Do not fight in front of the guards, for they would arrest you. Do not fight in front of NPCs, for they would call for the guards. Do not claim you can fight in front of NPCs or Guards because you bribed them all, and you own them now. That is just lame.

7. Stop STANDING IN THE RAIN. You are getting wet and smelly. If it starts to rain, unless you have a good reason to want to get wet, GET OUT OF IT. Consider this as practice for when rain makes your quality drop faster.

@UTM 3: oh yes sorry, this was from old times when it wasn't stated if it's your soul or body or whatever. Reason for 5 days is logical :

When you get hurt it's 24hours, it takes some times to people to learn about your fight and that you got hurt so they need time to react.

When you die it's something what should mean problem or everyone would just be dieing all the time, so people have to learn that you are dead, you might not return and so on. 5 days give time to learn about it and run ressurection rp if possible[which is fully dependant on idea]

5: I state what I think when it's possible to notice that she is thinking about something, you can ask "oh what are you thinking about, you look thoughtful" "I'm thinking that you look like my grandfather" "....sucker"

6: Guards can and can't arrest me, I play character whom was trained by high class warriors since child, she would be able to fight one guard and resist arrest from 2 guards.

7: same point, she spent too many hours standing still in rain and watching her target that it doesn't matter to her... Just her bones hurt every morning cause of it ^.^

I think it's alright to state what your character is thinking even if it's not easily perceivable for other characters.  It gives things a sort of narrative quality.  However, I would only do so in front of players that I would trust to realize that their character can't read my characters thoughts.  IE it's OK to do (and, I would argue, even good to do if done right), but bad to react to in an IC manner.

[Under the moon]

Odd. People generally know what my characters might be thinking, and never a though of theirs reaches the chatbox. I think it robs from the RP to be 'told' what is going on in another character's head, rather that finding out for yourself. In fact, I often find reason to leave when thoughts start flying. It feels... awkward to have to ask a person what they are thinking right after they just told you.

* Under the moon looks up at the sky, thinking about all the times he watched the clouds as a boy.

Person: Gee. What you thinking about there?

Me: Oh... I was just looking up at the sky, thinking about all the times I watched the clouds as a boy...

Redundancy is not my fashion.

[neko kyouran]

redundancy department of redundancy?

[Coneitic]

i always steered clear of that kind of rp. i never thought it was right.

*coneitic stares up at the sky, looking as if in deep thought*

never made sense to me to type what you were really thinking, seeing as how they wouldnt know.

thats like descriptions. i never thought it was right to give your whole backround in the description. i always thought it was for your "description" guess people like to spoil the fun of getting to know someone and making more conversation.
