The Hitchhiker's Guide to Roleplaying
The Hitchhiker's Guide?
I'm generally bad at titling things ;D Anyway, this is just a quick guide for those new to the boards to see how things run at a glance :> Nothing too in depth, but I'll include little tid-bits and links to explanations ♥
Getting Started
Okay, so you found our boards and would like to jump in! You should start off by Introducing yourself :> When you've warmed up to us crazies, you can start making your own character. When your character gets the go ahead to be the in the RP, you can go for Swimming Lessons if you want to get used to RPing (we recommend this, really), then you can hop over to the Main Roleplay forums and join in
The Bullworth Herald is an update to our original Bulletin Board; it basically catches up plot points so there are no anachronisms within the RP <3 It also houses the YEARBOOK ;D
What's Bastion Cliff? What are the other threads in the Roleplay forums?
Bastion Cliff is a fictional town/area that's a bus ride away from Bullworth created by Ash and DJ, sort of as an original backstory. Many of the characters from the roleplays in BC interact with those from Bullworth (example: Will and Chaplin). Questions regarding Bastion Cliff and Gentleman's 9th should be forwarded to Ash and DJ :> Don't worry, they won't bite!
ALONG THE BRICKED ROADS is the main roleplay, whatever happens in this RP is considered 'canon' and will usually reflect through the other RPs. Introducing your character in this RP is a good way to ease them into the universe.
New England Graffiti is a side-plot RP, with no real impact on the main RP, so you're allowed to bend several rules here.
Buttercup is an AU RP, set 4 years after the events of 'Bricked Roads', so this decidedly a more 'adult' roleplay. Adult as in, it deals with more mature themes more openly than in the other RPs, this includes things like substance abuse, sexuality, etc. Admittedly, it takes on a more darker tone.
School of the Dead is a ZOMBIE INVASION RP, so it's meant for fun and obviously will not have any impact on the other roleplays. Flesh eating fun for the whole family!
Grivances is an experimental type of RP where characters interact solely through notes passed in class, posted on the school board or through text messages. All sorts of wicked fun!
Stripped Once More is a survival type of RP, reminiscing the previous RP "Stripped". The kiddos were going on a school trip when an accident sends the students in survival mode. Many students are missing, more are injured/hungry.
Broken Glasses is another side-plot/arc to the Main RP and focuses on characters from the Nerd and Jock cliques only. Good for nerd characters who are usually too bashful to interact outside of their clique, and also for Jock characters who don't have a lot of other characters to interact with (we only have two Jock OCs guys come on ;___;)
Murder on the Dancefloor is yet another story arc/plot. The dance is a week away and who knows what sort of mayhem's going to happen? ;D
The Library is an archive of past RPs during the board's yesteryears, good for reading up on :>
Uhh, anything else?
I shouldn't have to tell you guys this, but I want you guys to go through the rules and regulations before doing anything :< Also, read up on the stickies in the forums, as they contain more in-depth information about that specific forum.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, the admins are usually in the Chat room, but if you can't catch us there, don't be afraid to send us a private message
