Role Playing Rules

All rules mention in the Ultimate Conflict Section apply as do the following:

What is Roleplaying?

Spoiler:

RPing, or RolePlaying is basically when the user (That is You) takes
the time to create character, plays the character that you have created
in a world of Make Believe. You the user will be bringing your
character to life through crazy styles of actions and words, by
creating interaction with other users (Other People) characters.

RP
or RPG is an abbreviation for Role Play or Role Playing Game. There are
many variations of what a Role Playing Game May be. In many cases Role
Play is done in a real life situation, with a group of friends. The
most popular of these types of Roleplays are the creations of what is
known as Dungeons and Dragons where you play as Orcs, Elves, Dwarfs,
Halflings, or any other monster that is capable of being created. There
is also Vampire the Masquerade where you are capable of becoming an
epic vampire, going around harming or helping others to your own
content. This is the type of Role Playing Game that we Play. A Type of
game that enables people to interact by written action, and not in
verbal action.

Online Roleplay has a wide variety as well when
it comes to interactions. There are variations where there are picture
based games, Nexus and others, that would use different types of
graphis such as Nintendo style graphics, and there is also what most
sites are known for, which is called Text Based.

Varieties of Role-Play
Internet
forums are the most common medium for Play-by-Post gaming. Some online
forums provide benefits such as online dice rolling, character
profiling and game history. Others, such as Alleria in the fantasy
genre, Gaia Online, and New Worlds Project in the science-fiction genre
emphasise the use of free-hand and the absence of dice and chance.
Thanks to online forums, players can easily keep track of all aspects
of the game, can see what is happening elsewhere and can re-read
anything they have previously written. Many online services provide
free game hosting for gamemasters.

Message-board role-playing is
faster than play-by-email, but as all players can see all the posts
there can possibly be problems on forums that do not support private
messages. Another benefit is that most of the forum software in
widespread use today supports the editing of posts, so when an error is
made it can be masked over.

Play-by-email
Play-by-email
games are played as other play-by-mail games, using email as the postal
medium. Players email their moves to the gamemaster, who collates them
and replies to them, again via email. Play-by-email games are often
slow, since the gamemaster must wait for each post before replying, but
have the advantage that replies may be tailored to the players,
allowing the gamemaster to keep information secret from the other
players.
Play-by-chat
Using an Instant
Messenger or a chatroom, two or more people role-play in third or first
person. While technically the fastest method of play-by-post RPing, it
can also be considered the most difficult,many people also consider it
to be the most fun, it is often referred to as rping with CCs [custom
characters] as it requires both the ability to type fast, and think
quickly and in character. Sometimes it may require people to play
multiple parts. It is also necessary that all players be online at the
same time.

It is possible to hide information from other players
only if the chatroom has an option that allows chatters to send
information only to certain people.
Play-by-internet
Play-by-internet
(PBI) refers to fully automated games which take place using
server-based software. Play-by-internet games differ from other
play-by-post games in that, for most computerized multiplayer games,
the players have to be online at the same time, and players can make
their moves anytime independent of any other players in the game. The
turn-time is usually fixed. A server updates the game after the
turn-time has elapsed evaluating all the player's moves sent to the
server. The turn-time duration can be hours, days, weeks or even months.

Play-by-internet
can be considered an enhanced version of play-by-mail and play-by-post
because it doesn't require manual labor to send out moves, or as an
enhanced version of message-board role-playing which allows information
to be hidden from players.
Play-by-wiki
A
play-by-wiki game is played using wiki software instead of a forum.
Because players' previous posts are editable, plot holes can be
avoided. For this reason, writing skills aren't as important for every
writer. The gamemaster takes responsibity as the overall editor of the
story.

Wiki space provides not only a means of communication,
but also a permanent archive and a designated off-topic discussion area
for each page. Players can edit information freely because change
records are automatically maintained and changes can be easily undone.
Role-playing blog
The
role-playing blog (RPB) is a game which is played out online using
posts within a blog. Unlike play-by-post gaming or message board
role-playing, a role-playing blog is generally restricted to one gaming
group, and the blog contains static files such as maps, archives, and
character sheets specific for that group.

MUDs and MU*s
Precursor
to the now-more popular MMORPGs of today are the branch of text-based
games known as MUD, MOO, MUCK, MUSH, MUX, DUM and MUSE, a set of games
on similar platforms collectively termed as MU*s within the community
by players and aficionados. The main difference in the various
platforms lies in their purpose; some, like the myriad codebases for
MUDs, are employed in combat-intensive games (either player versus
player or against mobs), while MUSH and MUCK are seen in games that
focus more on player interaction and role-play. Although interest in
these games has suffered from the popularity of MMORPGs, a large number
of them still operate. For a more complete history of these games refer
to the entry on MUDs.

Real-time human-moderated
Some
games rely entirely upon human moderators to dictate events, and
physical print books for rules sets. Such games may use code
dice-rollers, to generate random results, and may include databases for
the purposes of maintaining character records. Interaction between
characters is controlled by communication between individual players
(with each other) and with moderators (who portray non-player
characters). Communication software and database options vary, from the
DigiChat front-end / character database back-end pairing pioneered by
Conrad Hubbard at White Wolf Publishing, to the numerous AOL and Yahoo
chats with hosted character databases. Free-form games may even do away
with database integration or dice-rollers entirely and rely upon
individual players to keep their own records, with online community
reputation dictating how other players react.

What should a good role player have.

Spoiler:

There are multiple things that Every Good Role-Player should have.
There is something that every person should do within every post that
they create. Why? Because this is just logical. This creates character
development, and better writing not only for yourself, but as well as
the other people you are interacting with. Listed below is a little
more of an in-depth of what every Good Role-Player Should Have

A Beginning
- There needs to be a beginning, can't start in the middle. You must
take the interaction from the beginning as best as one can possibly
can. Most state this by what a character is thinking, or by mimicking a
small brief portion of what another character is doing. If you are
first starting the post, then you must make the beginning by making the
scenery. What is around? What is there? What time of Day is it? These
are all must be known. Unless there is a Game Master (Listed later on
in the Tutorial) and you are the first one entering a room, you should
take the time to explain the way the room looks as well. This however
of course does not happen if you have a lead Roleplayer, someone that
will take the time to do this himself.
A Middle
- The Middle is usually the interaction of the post between your
character and another, or really the body of the post. This is where
you state what your character is doing in a simplistic, or detail like
form. Within here, your character usually is doing some sort of action,
picking up a book, looking off into the distance, picking flowers,
picking his nose. Something.
An Ending -
The ending is usually ended by the action of the middle, the effect of
the middle. Something like this is ended is where you allow something
for the other people to interact with. This is also where actions take
place from what you were doing in the middle, like you are reading the
book that you picked, you see some trees off in the distance, your
flowers die as you pick them, you found buried treasure from your nose.
Good Spelling and Grammar
- Good Spelling and Grammar. Yes this matters most of the time. Reasons
why is because speaking in Text form takes the feel away of
Roleplaying. Now this does not mean you should be an English Major,
just write decently well, with correct punctuation.
Relevance
- There are three different types of Relevance. One the Post needs to
make sense in general. It can not be a bunch of weirdness where it just
does not make sense. This type of thing means you are in one place, and
two hundred yards away you are at another place. Or you are at two
places at once. This type of thing confuses other Roleplayers, and they
would not be able to interact very well. Two you have to be in
character. Remember if it does not happen in character it does not
happen. You can not say Out of character, stating that your character
did something but the problem is, it does not happen if it does not
happen in character. Another Character can not have something if your
character did not give it to him. The Third thing that it would need
is, it needs to have a point. A point can be anything, to make
interaction, to make humor, or anything else such as that. This type of
thing is always needed, there needs to be a point in the post.

What if I cannot role play very well?

:::Roleplaying Terms - [RP2]:::

Okay
ladies and gentle men now that we have gone through the "Basics" of
Roleplaying. We will go into something else. We will be going into the
"Terms" of Roleplaying. The Roleplaying Terms is what is seen all over
the place dealing with almost any type of Roleplay there is whether it
may be Internet, Tabletop, or anything else within the form of
Roleplaying. These terms are known throughout, and are very common. You
may find a few terms here and there that are not found all over and
just this site, but hey don't worry. Remember this is a guide, so try
to enjoy.

Ranking System - Character Class Levels - Strength of Character and Training Points (How to Train)

Rankings List and More.

Spoiler:

Character Classes
Listed
below is the Character Classes in which a user is capable of learning
techniques better and this states how strong a user is as well.
Everything is treated by Training points. There are two different types
of training points though. One form is just Training for Techniques
which will be Stated later, and Training Points in which to gain
Character Class. Please read on to get a better understanding. First we
will tell you the Character Classes and how many points you would need
in order to gain another Character Class. To Better Understand the
difference Between the strengths of Characters this is where it is
going to be stated. Please Read through everything and please Place in
the total amount of your Training Points within your Account's
Signature. If you can not do this we will remind you, but continuing to
not do so will resolve into, well there is no penalty just please place
it in.

There is Different Classes to give out the difference
between strength levels. The Classes is like Levels of an RPG game.
Every RPG Game has Levels like 1-50, even more such as up to 99. An
example would be that a Level One Character will not be able to Power
Struggle against a Level 99 Character. What this means is that when the
Level Ninety Nine Character attacks the Level One Character, there is
no way a Level One Character can out maneuver, out speed, or strength a
Level Ninety Nine Character. For that this works the same as that of
this site when it comes to Character Class. We have Five Different
Types of Character Classes. From Weakest to Strongest they are "D"
Class, "C" Class, "B" Class, "A" Class, and "S" Class. To those that
have watched an anime, the best way to explain the difference between
Classes is by stating that a "D" Class Character would be someone like
Sakura when she first becomes a Gennin. A "B" Class Character is
Kakashi when Sakurau first becomes a Gennin. Before the battled began
Kakashi was so fast that Sakura did not notice the speed. Sasuke,
Naruto, and Sakura were not capable of going against Kakashi in a Power
Struggle Battle. Remember that when you are fighting different types of
characters, and finding the difference between the Characters.

Listed
Below is a little more of a Close up of Character Class Levels. Each
Character Class Level is slightly different in what a person is capable
of learning, and what is needed in order to gain another Character
Class Level.

D-Rank Character Class Level
- Everyone starts off with D-Rank Difficulty Class. The D-Rank
Difficulty Class is the type of class in where a user starts off with
no matter what. A D-Rank Difficulty Class are the run of the mill
types, the beginners those who take a long while to learn all sorts of
types of techniques. A D-Rank Difficulty Class is only capable of
summoning D-Rank Summons.
C-Rank Difficulty Class
- C-Rank is the next step of a powerful Class. They are capable of
adapting a little more and understanding of techniques. They can
perform techniques a little easier and may use techniques with less
amount of chakra but still not as much as that of a D-Rank Difficulty
Class. A C-Rank Difficulty Class person must have an amount of 500
Training points in order to be considered as a C Rank Difficulty Class
Ninja. This is the next step of Learning and Understanding. In order to
learn A-Rank Techniques a user must be in the C Rank Difficulty Class.
A C-Rank Difficulty Class is only capable of summoning C - B Rank
Summons.
B-Rank Difficulty Class - B-Rank
is the next step of a powerful Class. They are capable of adapting a
little more and understanding of techniques. They can perform
techniques a little easier and may use techniques with less amount of
chakra but still not as much as that of a C-Rank Difficulty Class. A
B-Rank Difficulty Class person must have an amount of 1500 Training
points in order to be considered as a B-Rank Difficulty Class Ninja.
This is the Next Step of learning and Understanding. In order to learn
S-Rank Techniques a user must be in the B-Rank Difficulty Class. A
B-Rank Difficulty Class is only capable of summoning A Rank Summons.
A Rank Difficulty Class
- The A-Rank Difficulty Class is the next step of power. They are
capable of performing Major Types of feats and techniques and skills.
These are the high powered types of Classes and most classes of this
power and magnitude are the most likely capable of being picked in
order to become Kage or even Sannin. An A-Rank Difficulty Class person
must have an amount of 3000 Training points in order to be considered
as an A-Rank Difficulty Class Ninja. The A-Rank Difficulty Class are
the type of People capable of summoning S Rank Summons.
S Rank Difficulty Class
- The S-Rank Difficulty Class is the last step of power. The S-Rank
Difficulty Class are the most powerful types of ninjas that could
perhaps be around. They are masters and they are the ones who have
understandings towards techniques all around. An S-Rank Difficulty
Class must have an amount of 5500 Training points in order to be
considered part of the S-Rank Difficulty Class.

Now
in order to figure out what rank you are, you consider yourself as a
regular D-Rank Difficulty class and you add up all of the Training
Points it took you to learn every single type of Jutsu. This means that
if you tried to learn a C-Rank Technique you add Thirty points. If you
tried to learn a B Rank technique you must add in Seventy Training
points. Keep adding until you have achieved your ranks.

Training Points - For Techniques and How to Gain Training Points

A Hundred points

Eighty

twenty

If you have questions just ask.

Listed On This Table is the Base Amount of Training Points

Jutsu Rank	Character Class Needed	Training Points
(E) Academy	D	5
(D) Gennin	D	10
(C) Chuunin	D	20
(B) Juunin	D	60
(A) Kage	C	80
(S) Special	B	100

Key:

Character Difficulty Class Needed-
Will tell you what Difficulty Class you'll need to be before you can
learn this kind of technique. Remember that Difficulty Class is not
your Village Rank. Status Rank is your status rank of your Hidden
Village. You may be considered a Gennin, but as strong as a Sannin.

**The
nicknames (Gennin, Chuunin, Juunin, Kage, and Special) does not mean
that your character has achieved that status in the village, it means
that you are at that level of combat. So, Achieving a Status Rank in
your village is NOT necessary to learn a technique.

Training Points - This is the Number of Training points necessary for someone to learn a E, D, C, B, A, or S Ranked Technique. NOTES:

Even
if training points reach below Ten, Training will always be Ten no
matter what no matter what rank you are. This means that if you are a S
Rank Ninja, and you wish to learn a D Rank Move, the technique is Ten
Training points.
For every Difficulty Class that you're below the Jutsu Rank an additional 10 points are added to the Training Points.
For every Difficulty Class that you're above the Jutsu Rank 10 points are deducted from the Training Points..
You only gain ten training points per post at all times, but this depends on the quality of the post. No exceptions.
No learning two Jutsus at the same time is allowed.
Do
not second guess your training points, that means that do not make two
posts and put up another Jutsu that you wish to learn without the first
one being graded. You might not receive the required points, if any at
all.
Some jutsus have prerequisites, and some have special cases in which to learn. Make sure you meet those prerequisites

List.

Ranking System - Ninjas - Village Status Ranks

Within
here we will discuss on the the two Major types of Ranks for the site.
We have Ninja Ranks which are the ranks that consist of all Ninjas. A
Ninja starts off as a Gennin, and then will work their way up to
Chuunin, Jounin, and even the Rank of Kage if they are lucky. These
ranks are called Ninja Ranks. The next type of ranks that we have are
called Difficulty Class. Difficulty Class states how strong your
character is and how well they are capable of adapting to learning
Techniques. Difficulty Class is NOT Ninja Rank, and Ninja Rank is NOT
Difficulty class so please do not mistake them for one another, or ask
why you are not a Ninja Rank if you have a Difficulty Class of so high.
Listed below is the First section of Ranks which is Ninja Ranks. All
Ninja ranks will be given their own definitions and explanations as to
what they do and what they can do.

Ranks of Village Statuses can
not be cheated out. It must be earned in every possible way. A Kage can
not up and give People certain ranks because it does not work that way.
Ranks are earned, it is a stature, so then when a person earns it, they
are said hey look at that, I earned it. I feel great. That is how these
ranks work. Ranks creates Stature, and it creates balance as well.
Ranks shows a person's progress in the life and value and being of what
it means to be part of a village.

Ninja Ranks

Gennin
Genins
are the lowest rank of ninja. Once an academy student becomes a genin,
they are assigned a jounin instructor with two of their classmates.
This group is taught by their jounin and perform basic jobs
commissioned by the village. This typically means that they are
required to do remedial, labor-intensive jobs that require little or no
combat. Two good examples of genin-ranked missions are finding lost
pets, and weeding gardens. A genin's life consists of these missions
and training, all to prepare for the Chuunin Selection Exam begins. At
this point, genins are put through a three part exam that proves their
knowledge, survival skills, and combat ability. During the final combat
part of the exam, the genins are evaluated on whether or not they have
the needed skills to be promoted to chuunin. However, it is not
uncommon to have a very small number of genins selected.
- Site Notes:
  Everyone starts off as a Gennin no matter what. If you want a team you
  can make a team. Teams are not mandatory. A Gennin is only capable of
  going through C or D Rank Missions. They are capable of going into B
  Missions if they are accompanied by a Chuunin. A Missions if they are
  accompanied by a Jounin.
</li>
Chuunin
Upon
achieving the rank of chuunin, a great deal of responsibility is placed
upon the ninja. A chuunin is no longer an apprentice, but a leader.
They can command a small group and are actively involved in combat
situations. A chuunin not only holds their own life in the balance, but
those of ninja assigned under them. Chuunin's responsibilities do not
only extend to battle, however. They are also teachers of academy
students, imparting their experience and abilities onto the next
generation. They are in charge of teaching the students all they need
to know to begin their journey of becoming ninja, and basic physical
training. Becoming a chuunin is a sign of skill of dependence, and is
not something easily obtained.
- Site Notes:
  A Chuunin is capable of making missions for other people. If a Chuunin
  has knowledge of a type of job such as a Medic they are allowed to
  teach if they wish to. A Chuunin is capable of going into Missions B to
  D Rank. If a Chuunin wishes to participate into A Rank Missions they
  must be accompanied by a Jounin.
- Important:
  To Become a Chuunin you must Become a final in the Chuunin Exams. The
  only way to go into the Chuunin Exams is by Gathering 500 TP, and
  finishing a total of Eight Missions for that Character. If you do not
  become a finalist in the Chuunin Exams then you must wait till the next
  Exams.
</li>
Jounin
Even as
achieving chuunin demonstrates proficiency and skill, achieving jounin
is a sign of mastery. Jounins are exceptional fighters who operate on a
completely different level than their lower ranked counterparts.
Because of this, they are given the most dangerous missions. Jounins
also are not limited to battle. While chuunins are in charge of
teaching academy students, jounins are responsible for trios of genins.
A jounin leads the groups through their initial missions and prepares
them for the Chuunin Selection Exam. Jounins typically only impart
knowledge to their assigned genins, though there are some who take on
special students and impart techniques and skills to them as well. Not
much is known about the methods of promoting jounins, however.
- Sidenotes:
  A Jounin is capable of going into S to D Rank Missions if they wish. If
  a Ninja was to go into a S Rank Mission they must be accompanied by
  another Jounin. It is recommeneded to be accompanied by more then two
  Jounin. A jounin can teach a team if they wish.
- Important:
  To Become a Jounin is by discretion of the Kage. The Kage Must create
  Jounin Exams for the Jounins within the village and is village only.
  There they can decide who is capable of becoming a Jounin, and create a
  number of how many may become Jounin. This could be a Tournament, or
  perhaps something else. It is the Kage's choice. In order to
  participate in the Jounin Village Exams, you must first be a Chuunin.
  You must have mastered into two things. This means that you have 500 TP
  into two things. This could be releases, or fighting styles. You must
  also have completed a total of 15 Missions, with at least three of them
  being Interaction Missions.
</li>
Sannin
Sage
- Also known as a sennin, this rank of Ninja consists of Ninjas who are
close to, or possibly stronger than that of a Kage Ninja. This type of
Ninja was usually choose to live outside of their own village, but are
forced to keep in touch with it, so not become a Missin-Nin and get
hunted down. 3 examples of Ninjas who fall into this rank of ninja are
Jiraiya, Tsunade (Who is now a Kage), and Orochimaru. Side Notes:
A Sannin are the type of people who can roam around all over the world
without worry and without prosecution and without permission. The only
way a user may become Sannin is if they are hand picked by the staff.
There are only Three per Village.
- Important:
  In order to become a Sannin you must first be a Jounin. You must be a
  "B" to "S" Class Character. You must be the top three best of the
  village in smarts, and capability. (Admin, Headmod Approval).
</li>
Kage
There
are many academy students, there are many genins, many chuunins and
many jounins, but there is only one Kage. The Kage is the strongest and
most supreme ninja of all ninjas in their respective villages. Despite
what some may assume because of appearances, they are immensely
powerful and hold a number of powerful techniques that can even control
nature itself. Becoming Kage is the ultimate level of mastery and
skill. Each of the hidden villages have their own Kage, with a
different name. Ho (Fire), Kaze (Wind), Rai (Lightning), Mizu (Water),
and Tsuchi (Earth)/
- Sidenote Becoming a
  Kage means you are now a Game Master, one who is in charge of his
  village, keeping it safe, and making Interaction missions to improve
  the activity of your village as well as the Site. Your Bread and Butter
  is the Interactive Missions that you create that is completed. Your
  Bread and butter is Missions completed and done by your Ninjas.
  
  Being
  a Kage means that you are Active. If for some reason you can not be
  active and check in regularly into your village you must state so and
  state a reason why you can not be active so that the members may
  understand. These members are the people in your village.
  
  With
  that saying you are allowed to Lock, Move, and Sticky. However you are
  only allowed to do that inside your own village. You may not do such
  things in other cities, or villages. If you are caught doing so, then
  you will have your Kage Rank Stripped. We allow Kages to give money as
  well which means modifying profiles, but if we allow that we better not
  see any Kages taking advantage of that. This means no becoming staff
  for a brief moment, no changing names, no changing other people's Ryo
  or anything else like that. This also means you can not mod your own
  character. If we allow a Kage to change such things, and a Kage takes
  advantage of that and cheats, will be stripped of Kage, and will have a
  warning of a Hundred percent. This means one more mishap will have a
  temporary ban.
  
  It is your Duty to send people to destroy the
  missing Nin. You are in charge of keeping your Ninja in line. If one
  goes Missing it is your duty to either send a team to capture, or kill
  the Ninja. You must start an investigation and etc.
  
  Since
  Kages are considered as Game Masters with more authority they are
  allowed to create their own events. In this board you must first post
  your Event and have it discussed to see if it is plausible. Events only
  deal with your Village or Village Interactions may occur.
  
  Kages
  are allowed to move Threads. They are allowed to move any previous Kage
  thread that they wish. They are allowed to move any Thread where the
  creator of the thread no longer exists. Any thread that has become
  inactive however the Kage may not Move them. Reasons why is because
  there are times where people reactivate the threads. Other threads that
  a Kage may Move is previous Voting Threads.
- Important:
  Anyone can become a Kage if they are voted in. A Kage however must
  follow all requirements for all Jutsu Learning. This is to stop those
  that wish to become Kage to gather quick money, or learn Jutsus to
  suddenly leave. This means that in order to learn the Kage Bunshin no
  Jutsu you must be a Chuunin, or part of the ANBU. When you become Kage
  you gain the responsibility but if you loose the Kage ship you revert
  back to your formal position before you became Kage. This means that if
  you become Kage and was a Gennin, then you were demoted, you go back to
  Gennin and still have to go off and complete the Chuunin Exams to make
  a Mission. With this saying, no one has ever said that a Kage can not
  join an exam, but, they must be careful for there is enemies everywhere.

How to Battle - [RP5] Free Form Fighting - T1 Rules Concept

Free
Form Fighting Rules are quite simple as the concept is based off the T1
Rules of Paragraph Fighting. Free Form Fighting is the basis of
all-combat. Free Form consists of attempts and defenses using
paragraphs, details and sentence structures to outsmart the opponent in
hoping to miss a situation that you have settled up against them.

An Introduction to Free Form Fighting

Before
a Fight may begin, a Battle Moderator will look through the fight, or
fights while making a decision as to how fair the battle may be
according to the outcome of the people writing.

The You Mays and You May Nots

- May Post your Attacks and Defenses at Any Time within Reason.
- May Decide if attacks dealt upon your character is hit, and how much damage is taken from the attack.
- May Describe your own character's attacks being initiated and your character's thoughts and feelings.
-
May NOT Dodge every significant attack, or have attacks that hit while
doing no damage. This is called poor Justification and makes very bad
Roleplaying. A user must be realistic about how attacks are being dealt
with.
- May NOT decide whether "your" attacks does any type of damage or hit your opponent.
-
May NOT control your opponent in any way. For instance, while you might
love to write 'and he trembled at the awesome sight of Saint Sparalot',
this would be abuse of control. Control should be minimal and used to
facilitate the flow of the battle, not to bolster your ego or place
your opponent in an unrealistic situation.
- May NOT use a Critical Hit attack without a Battle Moderator or Opponent's Consent
- May NOT use an attack that is not already stated in your character's profile.
-
May say name of Special attack without giving out the technique within
the post. Must describe attack and it must be justified. Saying "He
used the mega big bang attack 2000" and say look in profile for effects
will not fly. It shows bad Roleplaying skills
- May NOT
Metagame. All Metagaming should be avoided. This is where you adjust
what you do IC to take account of what you either only know OOC, or
want to do OOC. For instance, if your character does not know that
someone is psychic, then OOC you read his or her profile and put up a
psychic barrier IC without good cause.
- May NOT portray
your opponent unrealistically. That is, do not portray them like some
idiot that meekly accepts your attacks and then begs for mercy. (Which
means you have no control of what your opponent can do?)
-
May NOT kill, or de-limb. These require special permissions from the
opponent, where instead of asking for a critical hit post, you ask for
either a de-limb, or a kill.
- May in the first initial post as a setting creature make what is needed in the setting with as much detail as possible.
-
May NOT add more items in the setting after the initial post, nor may
an opponent add or change anything stated. This means that if an
Electrical device was not stated there was not one, if a roof were not
stated it was slanted in the first post then it would be a straight
horizontal roof.
- May Move to another area to try and have a landscape benefit towards them but still must follow the first initial post rule.
- May NOT attack in the first post upon entering a thread.

How do you judge which side is winning?

(Official) Judgment on which side is winning is based on (in order of most to least important):

A
lack of description, justification or awareness by one player can allow
holes to be exploited if the other player uses a creative strategy.

Important Note
- If any action is stated OOC, such as person 1) states to person 2) "I
will not attack you if you allow me into the thread" and then attacks
the person. Dire consequences shall happen. If any situation happens in
which a person lies OOC for IC gain the person who committed the crime
shall have all actions voided, and character will automatically appear
at the most non violent situation they were at last (Usually another
Village), their character will feel not to go where they were before,
and the user will have a 20% deduction of their money, with a 10%
deduction of Training Points.

How to Battle - [RP5] Movement System - Basics

First and foremost this is for battling.

The
Movement System in writing will be kept simple, and easy. The reasons
why is because we do not want to stun the people, the role-players in
Free Form Roleplaying. Instead the Movement system is indeed going to
be there, it will play a part in grading battles, but it is not going
to be the set in stone holier then though type of system. So, remember,
Movement system is there, it is to help people visualize the
limitations of attacks and capabilities but it is not there to be set
in stone.

Handseals - Handseals performed per round

Role Playing Rules Handseals

A user may perform so many handseals within one round, the number of handseals increase by the class level that you are.

Number of Handseals Per Technique

D-6, C-12, B-18, A-24, S-30.

Every
technique has a set number of handseals in order to perform. D ranks
have 6, C ranks have 12, B Ranks have 18, A ranks have 24, and S ranks
have 30 handseals. This goes with All techniques,
however some techniques do not follow these rules such as the Chidori,
Rasengan, and Yamanaka techniques. The techniques that do not follow
this rule are listed and stated. These are for special occasions.

Handseals Reduction chart

Role Playing Rules Handsealreduction

A
user may perform so many handseals within one round, the number of
handseals is reduced by the class level that you are as well as what
Specialist you may be. When reducing you take the number and reduce it
by what is stated. Example: If you can reduce, the amount of handseals
by 1/3 and you are performing a D Rank technique you only need 4
handseals in order to perform the D Rank technique. For an S Rank
technique and you have 1/2 reduction you only need 15 handseals in
order to perform the technique.

Movements Performed Per Round

Role Playing Rules Movements

A
user is capable of so many movements per round. To define a movement it
means to move away, hitting, punching, kicking, striking, picking up,
opening, etc. Small things but movements nonetheless. Now comes the
hard part, please remember that Jutsus and movements come hand to hand.
Therefore, an S Class NinJutsu master can do 90 Handseals within 6
movements. Try to remember this because if you use up all handseals you
have little to no movements. Try to keep things hand in hand.

Because
of this, it makes people think, it makes people wonder what they can
and cannot do. It gives limitations yet it makes the person's mind work.
