    Open Pokemon: Sinnoh journey

    This is not an RP thread. This is a discussion thread if anything. Moved the thread to the proper board, read the rules before posting anything else.

    But having a character make some snarky internal commentary about something? That's not so much fourth-wall-breaking as just... thought processes. Deities know how many times I found myself referring to a creature that evolved completely through natural selection in the real world as...

    Using knowledge about other people's characters that the character should NOT be privy to in-universe isn't so much 'metagaming' as it is a lesser form of godmoding, and quite frankly would not be acceptable.

    Metagaming, to me, is - for instance - tailoring a character, their learned skills, etc, to the requirements of the setting to an excessive degree. Excessive min-maxing, essentially. Some of it makes sense and is even welcome, but too much of it, and especially when it comes at the expense of...

    It's not really a question of metagaming, tbh. A character shouldn't know things about other characters if they haven't witnessed them or been told about them within the scope of the plot itself.

    Basically. Use narrative voices to reflect what your character feels about the situation. Don't have your character petulantly argue with some omniscient all-seeing asshole with a dramatic voice that no one but them can hear. Unless, again, this is some kind of a parody RP where everyone and...

    Typically, different characters have slightly different narrative voices based on their thoughts and reactions to the goings-on around them - and the narrative voice, in that sense, is also a part of the character and is used to give the readers additional insights into the character associated...

    This means that by default there is some sort of a narrative voice going on! But the narrator is not and honestly, should not be, a character in the capacity of interacting with the cast and the other RPers - it should rather serve as sort of a mirror into your charcter's' mind.

    Re: Narrators, that's kind of a question. As the RPing style enforced here is that of third person, past tense, story format - posts are supposed to look kind of like a book would (alas, a good chunk of the RP forums can't string together two sentences to save their damn lives, but I digress).

    Granted, we all have moments in our lives where we feel like characters in someone else's story and may play it for comedic effect - but unless you're in some kind of a parody RP where everyone does it all the time a-la the Samurai Pizza Cats, you should probably exercise discretion and common...

    This might require a few responses due to the character limit on profile messages but here goes. ^^ First - the occasional fourth wall breakage can happen, but don't overdo it, please - as some people might find it tedious, distracting and/or immersion-breaking.

    Ask to Join Pokemon Ultra Contest!

    There's no in-character content here. Like. At all. This is discussion thread material, but there already is a discussion thread. Meaning this thread has no reason to exist, and I am pretty sure I've already warned you about this sort of thing. When you are ready to actually start the thread...

    Private/Closed Sinnoh - Three Years Later (Discussion)

    I mean, there is a bit of a "how many bloody super-special-awesome characters does this person want!?" When specific people make too many requests, especially if their characters are meant to be in the same setting/be related to/possibly interact with each other - but I wasn't ignoring you on...

    Private/Closed Sinnoh - Three Years Later (Discussion)

    @Merciless Medic - According to my records I never actually got back to you on the dude with the Zard X (after rejecting his sister with the Zard Y because you never actually gave her a reason that makes sense to have a key stone and the reason you DID have was okay fanfic material if you're...

    You're only allowed one account on Pokecharms. Your attempt to set up a second account has been merged into this one, and if you attempt to pull that stunt again, there's a ban in your future.

    Ask to Join My Hero Academia : The beginning of the new era

    So I only got a report on this now, but remember that our RP forum rules state that If a post contains images of ANY sort, they must be either created by the poster themselves or works created for them, specifically, by request or commission, and this must be verifiable. Using of art of ANY...

    Dream Land Academy (Kirby RP)

    This isn't an RP. This is an RP discussion thread. I've moved the thread to where it's supposed to be, make sure you read the rules before posting anything else.

    Private/Closed Pokemon Adventures! * Kanto Chapter *

    Obviously some people here never read the rules. A Darkrai was NOT approved for this thread. Posts should also be in third person, past tense, not present tense. There are also a few instances of autoing which is strictly disallowed here. And since things and interactions have happened and...
