By Thoran: F2F Roleplaying
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been reading around this section a bit. So much has been going on surrounding anger and irritation. After a closer look, I've noticed that a lot of this could have been avoided. Most of it starts here, on this forum, furry-furry.com. We're all in a group, and just like the humans we are, we have our ups and downs. The fluctuation in this can cause arguments, discussions and sometimes down right flame wars. For this, I'll take a bit of a view on someone starting on this site.

Your first day, as a little cub on the site. Unknown, unloved by members, yet not hated, just a newbie. Afcourse, you get your introduction cookie from our beloved moderator Idesin, and here your venture into the unknown starts. Maybe you're new to the entire furry fandom all together, then you will probably post a lot of threads asking about what the hell this furry thing is. A bit more experienced, getting to know the tools of the site, and the workings of this little family that is actually quite big, if you just look underneath the couch and on the scratching poles. You've worked out what you are, what kind of animal and figure you represent. Now, it is time to get a bit playful.

Roleplay. As Idesin once put it, F2F's favorite passtime. A lot of threads to choose from. Things like: (Literates only.), (People that I haven't RP'd with) and (Closed.) are such examples. What does this all mean? Why are the strange added titles all so scary. Don't worry though, just go ahead and read some stickies. To help, here is a little rundown.

(Literates only.)
If you are new to the role playing game, then you want to avoid these threads. This little added thing means that the thread starter is looking for experiences players. One must be able to form his or her character to great detail, play along while already knowing the rules of it all. Paragraphs of text mustn't scare you at all. Yet, you can read through these as a great help. Just watch the more experienced roleplayers for a while, it can be a great help.

(Open.)
More of a thread for you. It is, as it stated, completely open. Be whoever you want to be, just stick to the rp'ing rules. Do your best to post more then a single line. Get to know some furs, make friends, play with them. Just remember that RP should be fun for everyone, so try and make it as interesting as possible.

(Closed.)
This can pretty much mean two things. Either the RP is filled with players, and to avoid a major story and confusion, it has been closed down for new entries. Or, it can mean that the story has been set. There is a single spot open, and that, for example, can be a milkman working his daily shift. The thread starter can state how you two will meet, and where the story must go.

(People I haven't RP'd with.)
Pretty obvious. If you have never RP'd with the thread starter, jump right in.

(PM)
This means that you must send a personal message to the thread starter, showing your interest of joining. He or she will then send a message back with instructions on how to join.

(M/M) (M/F) (F/F) (M/M/F)
This means the type of yiff that will occur in this thread. M stands for male, F for female. For example: (M/M) means gay yiff. Join in, but only if you're comfortable participating or reading this kind.

(Tentacle) (Rape) (Impregnation) (Vore) (Scat) (WS)
These apply to fetishes that the RP will revolve around. Tentacle for someone having sex with tentacles. Rape for forced sex. Impregnation for someone getting pregnant. If there is actual cubs being born is unsure. Vore stands for someone getting eaten. Scat for scat play and ws for watersports, or in other words; furs peeing over each other. If you are not comfortable with the fetish going on in the thread, do not join. Simple as that.

*Edit from Admins* True Rape will NOT be allowed. Playfully and slight S&M version that lovers will do in play is acceptable to a point. RAPE will NOT be allowed!

(No extra title.)
The title of the thread doesn't always have an extra bit to tell you if it is accessible or not. These, you can better check out. If two furs are already playing, just check how their posts look. Is it a level you can cope with, if not excel? Then get in. If it's to much, better stay out.

During your time, posting here and there, you'll grow. By practice and experience you'll get to know who is who, and which furs you can mess with, and which not. In my personal view, it is something like this.

Age 0 to a week: You've made your introduction, yet the site is still vast. A lot to see, a lot of furs to meet. If you feel the buzz I felt, then you can't wait to get to know it all better.

Age a week to a month: Depending if this is your first furry board, or first furry days, you've been obtaining a lot of information about furries. Maybe you'll have ventured into the roleplay area's a little.

A month to a couple of months: You're proud to call yourself a member of F2F. By now, you can name around four to six moderators, know the admin and what he is like. The rules, and the way of acting liked around the board is stamped into your brain. You still very much play by the rules. People probably like you, but not enough to understand you're just playing around, and mean only love.

Longer: The initial buzz has calmed. Like the full-grown fur that you are you stroll around the board, seeing newbies and going all nostalgic about your own days as a little cub. Maybe you can give him or her a push in the right direction, help him or her avoid the traps you've fallen into. By now, the other furries around here know who you are. You can kid a little, make a swear or two because most furs know you only do it because you love them so much. Your MSN or other form if IM list has grown, become a lot of cuddly and hairy.

But things might go wrong. Maybe you have a bit of a discussion with a moderator, or other member. It's Important not to get all angry and whiny. Your status can drop fairly easily. Never let any RP get to you personally, never let any flame war get to you, and most important of all, don't let anti's trolling here bring you down.

Now, this thread had formed in my head for no particular reason. I'm posting it here, because I also know some furs that have gone totally berserk because things didn't work out. Also, as an added note, this is pretty much how it went for me, and some friends I know.

By Daelyhel Axon: Colorized Text - When and Where
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

There has been an outbreak of colorized text on the boards. Normally we do not mind. Until the whole post is colorized. At that normally colors that are a strain for others to read. Like these damn colors.

Needless to say we request that you refrain from colorizing your whole post unless there is a point to it. Normally that means something that is not more than 5 words. Like...

Wear a Damn Condom!

Now as you can see above how colored text can be used to bring function to words and have them speak louder than normal. Please keep this in mind when making your post. Thank you, and now I do not have to buy so much Bleach!

By Mestopho: Non-Yiffy Roleplay Rules
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This forum is reserved for Role Play that contains NO yiffy (sexual) themes.

Rules for RP:

Optional game preferences of whom you want to play in your RP can be added to your title. These include:
-Reserved
-M/M; M/F; F/F
-Everyone Welcome
-"(species) Only"

If a thread/story is full and not accepting any more people, attach “[Full]” to your thread title.

Special Modes should be avoided in most cases. They are exceptions to the accepted norms of RP, and the exploitation of these modes should be very well understood and accepted by all members of a thread before they are *ever* used:
-Godmoding : Having your character being indestructible to every kind of weapon. Character is basically a god.
-Power-playing : The act of controlling what the characters do, say, etc.

All RP's should have a suitable title and a description inside of it about what the RP is about.

When out of character conversations want to be made use either (()) and/or ((OOC:)) somewhere in your post. These should be short. ALL OTHER CONVERSATIONS SHOULD BE DONE IN PM's OR IN ANOTHER AREA. There should never be an RP thread that contains nothing but OOC conversation, no matter the subject matter.

Now for more of the in-game rules:

1. Most important rule, F2F OFFICIAL RULES APPLY HERE AS WELL.

2. NO SEX.

3. Please spell as correctly as possible as so others will understand what has been written. Remember that you are on the Internet and therefore on a computer. Use a word processor, dictionary.com, Goggle, etc. No effort is not acceptable.

4. Try to match the content/effort of those posting in the thread with you. When a group posts a paragraph each and you post 2 lines, rest assured that they will probably root you out promptly.

5. When joining an RP, stick to the story.

6. For certain RP's, make sure the creator of it is okay with you joining. PM them first if you are not sure you are suitable for it.

7. All thread starters reserve the right to choose who is and is not allowed to join their RP thread. Do not start drama within an RP thread if you are rejected from the story. Keep that in PMs.

8. NO KILLING OFF OTHER CHARACTERS. If the person is not allowed or wanted in the game, PM them to let them know and have them delete their post if necessary as well as do not reply to it in the game.

9. Keep out of character (OOC) messages short and to a minimum. Try not to post a post that is only filled with an OOC.

10. If there are any problems in an RP, PM a mod/admin and they will take care of it.

11. Have fun and enjoy yourself!

Announcement 3: By Daelyhel Axon
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no Reservations within this area. PERIOD. Reserved Threads is for Non-Yiffy Role-Play (Reservations Only) (http://www.furrytofurry.com/furry/forumdisplay.php?f=226)

Thank you!

Open Threads are threads that are open to all furs. Female Male, Trans, Straight, Gay/Les, and Bisexual. Yes I understand there are some furs you do not want into your thread and that is perfectly fine. But consider and open thread like a tavern, a hotel, bar, and whatnot where there are many furs of many lifestyles. From there you can make a private and reserved thread just for yourself. Or you can RP within the same thread with everyone else. I really do not care from then. As long as it is within that aspect within the thread.

Threads of one Sex is acceptable as long as no limits to the number of members to join.

Limits to Trouble Makers or Literate Posters is acceptable.

Front this point, they will be locked and not moved.
