I'm sure all of you know, {after watching the anime} how complicated this role play will be. Therefore I've created a list of guidelines that will help lesson all the confusion that we may face when role playing.
To start things off, I remember saying that godmodling will not be accepted. There are however exceptions to this rule. Take into consideration what ranks you are and your status in the military. Higher ranking officers have the right to give the lower ranked officers in their army orders.
Depending on your character's personality, you may choose to follow or ignore an order given to you. Keep in mind though that ignoring an order could result in punishment for your character.
Now, if your character should do something foolish like rescue a hostage on board your own ship, the penalty could be death. {As you may have seen in the anime series when they explain it.} The occasional time you may be let go with just a simple warning, but remember this will not always be the case so please be careful of what you do.
In this role play, please be true to military tactics. If someone important greets you or passes you then greet them with a salute. If a higher ranked officer greets you and asks for your name you say “your rank, then your name” something like “Ensign Kaisuke” {Notice I used my character's last name instead of her first?}
When speaking to or getting the attention of a higher ranked officer {unless they state otherwise} you say their rank.
Traditionally in most role plays you are only allowed to be in one thread at a time. But please keep in mind the fact that everyone in that anime can communicate via a computer type system. This will allow you to invade someone else's thread, when you post in another person's thread like this, there is a certain way you should do it:
Current Location
Eternal
{State the location of where you are and then italicize the rest of your role playing post.}
Before I move on, let me explain how you should go about naming your thread. {This is again, to lesson the confusion.} Keep in mind there will be many different ships like the Archangel, I won't be creating boards for them so please pay attention.
This is a scenario for if you are on a specific ship:
Scenario: 'Eternal' < If let's say, you are on the Eternal then that's what your thread will be named... anything else in the title will be up to you.
Please remember that the only person allowed to create a thread related to being on one of the ships, is the captain of that ship. All the crew and passengers of that ship must post in the same thread.
Within the thread please state where you are on the ship:
Infirmary <In bold or bold italics at the top of your post. If you are on the bridge then please state where you are sitting as well.
{If this seems a little confusing don't panic, I've added a practice role playing board where we can all practice together and I can better explain this there.
In terms of how battles will work, I will explain. There are possibly three different scenarios for when you are fighting one another, though there could be more. I'll start with the first scenario:
Alright, a major part of the battling will be done on board the ship you are assigned to. So let's move over to the bridge shall we? The bridge is where most of the action will likely take place, the captain of the ship will be sitting in the captain's seat giving specific orders to the crew. The bridge crew will consist of the Captain giving orders, the deputy Captain who will be piloting, a few weapons experts as well as a battle communicator and someone watching the radar.
If a battle should arise between two ships then the title of the thread must say so. Anyone on those two ships may post within the thread {this includes pilots who have already launched in their mobile suits or mobile armor. But they should post as if they were communicating through the computer system}
In mobile suit combat I will allow up to four people to fight each other. Please remember though to pay attention to your ships respected thread. The captain of the ship may give the order to launch return flares, ordering you to return to the ship. Remember if your character is injured you may post in your ships board and ask them to prepare an emergency landing net.
As far as ground battle goes. I will allow up to five people in a single thread, this battle will be with mostly guns, knives, or you may choose to run.
Please note that taking in hostages will be allowed as well as saving people whom are believed to be dead by their own team.
