Before you start repying to topics or making your own topic you might want to know about somethings first.


What is Role-Playing (RP)?
Role-Playing is when you act out a specific character In-Game or in a Role-Playing thread. Basically you are an actor in a play without any kinds of scripts, just acting as you think your avatar would.



OOC and IC

-When you want to say something that has nothing todo with the RP you should write OOC infront of it.
-OOC stands for Out Of Character.

-After you have written your OOC you might want to start roleplaying again. Then you should write IC infront of your RP text, so people wont get confused.
-IC stands for In Character.


Roleplay bios

In certain rp topics you might have a roleplay bio. More about that can be found here (http://www.tibianordic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=166#p166).


What kind of topics goes on this board?
- Open RP (Join-In)
You are free to join these on-going stories so long as you don't 'God-mode' and you join in a logical fashion.

i.e. The Tavern, Three Word Stories, The Journey etc.

- Structured RP (can be join-in)
In these, the Original Poster is a narrator of sorts. They have a story to tell and try to steer things in the direction they want. If you are uncomfortable with someone else taking mild control of your character, do not join these.

- Story (can also be a join-in)
Just a plain story. You aren't part of the story, you just read and give a review or compliment.

Note: The roleplaying does not have to be based on the world of Tibia.
