There are many styles of RP in the world. I have brought some of these styles here. So here they are^^
Open: Open is for RPers that are quite good at describing, because here, you can't determine if your attack hit, so you must describe your moves to the fullest to make a post that have more than one sentence. It is to your opponent to decide if your attacks hit or not.
Advantages of this system:
-It develop your RPing skills and make you better than most of the RPing community if you use this style well.
Example of people that don't use this style well: People that make a post with only a few sentences.
-The battle usually last longer, but this is also a disadvantage sometimes.
Disadvantages of this system:
-Some people that use this style think they are superior, though in some rare case it is true. Most of them are just people that make a few sentences and think they are better than people that use Hybrid style. They usually also ditch all other form of RPing styles.
-It is considered that this style can be unfair, since YOUR opponent decides if your attack work or not. That is why, we have rules against the idiots that evade every attacks. Of course, this can be the best style if you play with someone that doesn't do that.
-The battle usually last much longer than Hybrid or Closed battles. This can get annoying when you have a lot of fights to do.
Closed: This is in a way, the contrary of open. Here, YOU decide if you attacks hit or not, which is a way of god modding. In short, you decide when you kill your opponent. You also gain a certain control over your opponent character. This is considered a n00b style, but it is not. It is for people who are really not good at RPing, people that think they are better than everyone else, and people that consider themselves "good" at RPing.
Advantages of this system:
-Makes you feel like you are better than everyone else, that you are a god of RPing, that you can even pwn the admin and the moderators. Like a drug.
Disadvantages of this system:
-You will have a insane time to get someone to play that style, everyone knows that this style is is crap
-This style is the most unfair, and it DOES NOT determine if you are good or not.
-It is almost god modding and may get you an easy warning if you are not careful.
Hybrid: A mix of the two, it is the style the most "accepted" on the internet, the most fair and also new to Icydreams. Here, you determine if your MINOR (ex. a sword slash that only leave a scratch, a fireball, etc) attacks hit or not. Your opponent decide if your MAJOR (ex. a very strong attack, a devastating magic, permanent wounds, etc) attack works.
Advantages of this system:
-The most fair.
-The most realistic.
-Greatly develop your RPing skills, but not as much as the Open style.
-Fun to RP with someone that use this style.
-A style that adapt over time.
-A style that become greatly appreciated when it begin to be used in a board.
-People that use this style are usually much mature.
Disadvantages of this system:
-You don't get the feeling that you are the best RPer on the board.
-You become more and more fair when you play the other styles. (This not really a disadvantage)
-Some people that use the Open or the Closed style will hate you for no reason and say that this style is unfair. They'll ditch you and think they are superior.
Rules:
-Each time you start a RPB, TBRPB or TBRPG, you have to say what style of RPing we have to use.
-You May send me the name and the description of the style, to see if it is acceptable. If it is, I will add it here and you will be able to play it, along with anybody else. Here is my mail: demon18002001@yahoo.com, or you can just pm it to me.
-When you start a battle, a story or a game, be sure you don't do it of an impulsion, they usually get boring, tiring and don't finish most of the time.
-If you make a tournament , I recommend giving RPing gifts that you made yourself, like a cool and strong sword for example. Just make sure the object is not in the category of god modding. Giving avatars or sigs as prizes is just as good.
-If your opponent does not post in a one week time, you have the right to end the make another battle post. If your opponent still doesn't post in another week, you may bring the battle to an end, the winner will then be decided by the OFFICIAL JUDGE or a moderator if the official judge isn't here. He/she will determine the winner by terms as, description in your posts, skills, etc.
-The mods reserve the rights to enter a battle or TBRPB to punish someone, give a warning, ban him from the battle, etc. The judge is set in god mode, so you can't defeat him, and if you even try, I, myself, will defeat you personally with my admin powers. And if there is only one character left in ht RP, the character, that character wins by default.
-No god modding, P.M me if you don't know what god modding is. Do so if someone is god modding and mods don't see it.
-When you comment or say things unrelated with the battle, story or etc, you have to write "OOC"(Out of character) at the start of your post. You may also use the (( )).
-Destroying one or more of your opponent equipment in a single attack is prohibited.
-All other rules of Icydreams still apply. (ex. double posting)
-When you enter a battle, you must stay with 1 fighting style (posted above) until you are done.
If you have any questions regarding the styles, please let me know
With all that said, enjoy!
