FAQ's
Mar 12, 2021 16:28:14 GMT
Post by The Writer on Mar 12, 2021 16:28:14 GMT
Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is this based on?
A: This role play is based on the television series: Bridgerton.
Q: Do I have to have watched the show in order to join?
A: Not at all! If you enjoy writing in this era, without having any knowledge of the show (i.e. characters, events, etc) you are still more than welcome to join. We have informational threads to help you navigate through different plot points and such should you like to do so.
Q: Is there a set timeline on the site?
A: No. Threads can take place any time before, during, or after any of the episodes. We also have an AU section where you can have "What If..." threads.
Q: How many times do I have to post as my character?
A: We ask that you post at least once a week. If you have multiple characters, then that is once a week per character.
Q: How many characters am I allowed to have?
A: You are permitted to have as many made up characters as you like, however please remember the posting requirement and don't take more than you can handle. While we have no set rule limiting the number of canons, we ask that you remain fair to others and not take 2 canons that would create too much of a plot conflict. For example: someone taking both Daphne and Simon.
Q: Do I have to wait for the admin to approve my bio?
A: Yes. We require that you wait until bio approval before posting anywhere in the role play, plotting in the Setting On Your Path board, or requesting graphics. You will receive a PM from us when your bio has been approved.
Q: Can I apply for canon characters that are not in the cast list?
A: Yes. Since there are so many characters, we have only listed a few of the main ones, but any canons not listed there are assumed to be open for application.
Q: Can I apply for canon characters that died in the series?
A: Yes. However if you wish to play that canon, then you can only have threads that take place before their death in the "Canon Role Plays" board. Or if you would like threads that take place where they did not die or somehow returned, then those threads must be posted in the "AU Role Plays" board.
Q: Can I apply for characters that were in the books but not the show?
A: Yes. However, these characters would be considered Made Up Characters [Original Characters]. Furthermore, please keep in mind that as we follow the show, if the character you created does appear in the series, you may be asked to change them to fit the show (i.e. model, history, personality, etc).
Q: Which boards are role play ones?
A: Any boards listed under the category "Canon Role Plays" and "AU Role Plays" are boards for role play threads to be posted in. Please do not post any rp threads outside of these boards.
Q: Am I allowed to be in more than one thread at one time?
A: Yes. You are permitted to have your character in more than one thread at one time since there is no set timeline on the board. Just be sure you can keep track of all the threads you are in and that you can handle all of them. A suggestion would be bookmarking them to keep track or have a thread tracker. |

Tagging System The Tagging System is a great way to notify other members when you have posted to them, or have a post that you would like them to either read or reply to! Tagging a member can be done by using the @ symbol, directly followed by the username of the person you would like to tag!
@username
If you are unsure about the username of a member, you can easily find out by going to their Profile, click the third tab called 'Author' and you will find their username there along with the text "Tag me @username".
Please note that some members may have turned off their notifications, so if you are starting a thread for them, it would always be best to make sure to inform them either by ensuring they know you will be tagging them, OR pming them the link to the starter!
Tagging can be used both in role play threads, as well as OOC [Out Of Character] threads!
Happy Tagging Everyone! |

Chat Boxes As you can all see, here on the site we have 2 chat boxes! This is to keep the OOC (Out Of Character) chat, separate from the IC (In Character) chat! It will help lessen any confusion and we hope will encourage members and guests to converse with those on the site!
OOC (Out Of Character) Chat Box: this chat box is located on the left hand side of this forum. Guests are welcome to post in this CB if they have any questions, and members can meet and chat with other members in this CB as well! This is for all conversation that is not in character. If you wish to add an avatar next to your display name, simply enter the image URL where it says EMAIL/URL. Please keep your display name and icon consistent with who you are on the site just so there is no confusion about who is who. If you prefer to put in another display name, that is quite alright, so long as we all know who we are chatting with!
IC (In Character) Chat Box: this chat box is located at the bottom of the forum. Your name and avatar are automatically displayed based on your username and icon in your profile on the site. This chat box is for all in character chatting to fulfil all your musing needs. The IC chat does not always have to be consistent with what is happening in the role play. It is meant to be a fun place that can be silly and explore different dynamics of your characters that you might not portray in your posts, or that step outside of the canon verse. We do ask that everyone remain playing the same character they have on the site to avoid any confusion about who is who.
If you have any questions regarding either of the chat boxes, please don't hesitate to contact us! All chat box rules still apply!
Happy Chatting! |

POSTING MINIMUM | 3 | We ask for a minimum of 1 post per week. This is to keep plots moving and maintain some activity. We of course understand that Real Life can get in the way so please feel free to contact us if you have any concerns about this! |
TAGGING & PLOTTING | 4 | You must discuss the plot of a thread with the other member before tagging them in the thread. The only exception to this is memes where the member is accepting certain meme starters. Good communication with your posting partner is especially important for any shipping, or romantic thoughts/actions that you wish for your character(s) to engage in with the other. |
CHARACTER LIMIT | 5 | While we do not have a limit as to how many characters you can play we ask that you take only as many as you can handle. After you create 3 characters, you must contact the admin before creating another to 'check in' with them. You can not post an application for a fourth character without discussing it with the admin first. |
STANDARD | 6 | Members are required to stay as close to their characters as possible. Once your bio is approved you are not permitted to edit anything major in it without the admin's approval. Please ensure your character is consistent to how you wrote about them in your bio. Canons are expected to remain consistent with the show as well in regards to personality, history, etc. |
NO GOD MODDING | 7 | Do not control any other character apart from your own (i.e. making them say or do something in your post that they did not do in their own). Also, be respectful of the way they portray that character; do not pressure them to engage in plots that go against their preference of how they see their character act or think. For more information about what God Modding is, click HERE. |
NO META GAMING | 8 | Meta gaming refers to your character possessing knowledge about another that they have no possible way of knowing, and using it against them. This knowledge is usually information that the audience knows (i.e through their application, inner dialogue, etc) but not one that the character would know. We do not permit meta gaming on the forum as it can be very discouraging for other members. For more information about what Meta Gaming is, click HERE. |
AU PLOTS | 9 | We do have an AU (alternate universe) board. This is for threads that step outside the canon verse of the plot. This involves romantic relationships that are not canon, or 'What If' scenarios that could have changed the course of the plot. Further more, events that took place in the books but not the show, are also considered AUs if they greatly deviate from what occurred in the show. It is still expected that you remain consistent with your character despite the AU setting. |
AWAY NOTICE | 10 | If you are going to be away, you must post a notice. Furthermore, when posting an away notice then you must have a return date in that notice. If you are going to be absent for more than two weeks, please speak to a staff member. |
INACTIVE ACCOUNTS | 11 | If your account has not been signed into for over three weeks without an absence notice, then the character will be opened/archived. |
HAVE FUN! | 12 | Role Playing is a fun activity where we can delve into the minds of our favorite characters! The site is meant to be a place where we can all write and enjoy other member's writing as well! |
GRAPHICS USERNAME | 1 | The name of your username should be the name of your character or your alias. Please do not register with a username of a character that you do not intend to play (i.e. registering with Daphne if you do not intend to write as her). This is to avoid confusion. Once you are approved, you will have the opportunity to select a unique posting color that your username will be changed to.
|
FACECLAIM | 2 | Everyone must have a face claim for their character, represented by a real life celebrity. This means no anime or animated images permitted.
|
ICON | 3 | Your icon should be an image of the character you are playing. The maximum size permitted is 150 pixels x 150 pixels. This will also be the image that appears on the forum when you are online.
|
AVATAR | 4 | Your avatar is an image that should also be a picture or a gif of your character. The dimensions for this are 250 x 400 pixels.
|
SIGNATURE | 5 | Your signature/banner should be an image of the character you are playing. The maximum size permitted is a width of 600 pixels and a height of 300 pixels. This is to ensure that the board does not get stretched by an image that is too large.
|
CUSTOM TITLE | 6 | Your custom title can only be changed by the admin you will be permitted to choose it yourself once your application has been approved.
|
POSTING LAYOUTS | 7 | Some members have chosen to have posting layouts for their role play posts. This is not by any means mandatory for members to have! If you would like one, and need help customizing it, feel free to reach and we can help as best we can.
|
CREDITING GRAPHICS | 8 | If someone else has made your signature and/or avatar, you must add a line of credit stating the person who made it.
|
CHAT BOX CHAT CONTENT | 1 | The chat box is a great place to meet other members and even plan threads. With that said, please do not rant, complain, bash, or post negative messages of any kind. As well, do not pressure members to post, or pressure the admins to approve your bio. We also ask that you not post extremely personal information about you, as your private life is just that: private. Please keep in mind that this a public place to talk and thus, require that everyone feel comfortable with the conversation taking place in it.
|
DISCRETION | 2 | Any conversation between a member and the admin is private. Do not post it or talk about it in the CB. If there is something we need to discuss with you privately, we will do so VIA PM. We require that you not talk about these issues in a public place for all members to see.
|
ADVERTISING | 3 | Absolutely no advertising in the Chat Box! There is a board for you all to post links to other sites. Please do not post links to other forums or discuss other role play forums in detail.
|
IN CHARACTER CHAT | 4 | The IC [In Character] Chat Box is located at the bottom of the forum. This is a place to muse as your character and does not necessarily follow any specific plot. It is a great place for all sorts of in character fun and shenanigans.
|
OOC CHAT | 5 | The OOC [Out Of Character] Chat Box is located at the left hand side of the forum. This is a place to chat and meet other members. Forum rules still apply.
|
