Announcement

This group will be migrated to the new design soon. Please contact the group admins to start the migration and save content the group may lose access to.

We are an accepting club, and we would like it to remain as such, so here are some rather simple guidelines that we request that you abide by. Most of them are common sense, so we're not likely to have any problems! \w/

We plan on functioning as a sort of '3 Strikes you're out' system. If you get three strikes against you, you will be suspended, banned, or otherwise excluded from the group for a certain period of time depending on the offenses.


♦ First off, and this is one is an easy one, don't bash anyone for any characters/pairings/ect that they play. We've all seen it happen, however, it will not be tolerated here. I don't care how off the wall the pairing is, or if your national pride makes you offended when someone rps ScotlandxEngland, or that you truly only see USUK as brotherly love, with all your heart, because either I know people who are or I do. That does NOT give me the right to make anyone feel poorly about it though, that's just a dickass move right there.

Harassing someone for the character they play may be less common, but it still happens a hell of a lot.
"EW, you rp LICHTENSTEIN?! I HATE HER!!!"
Okay, that's nice, keep it to yourself.

As for character interpretation, I know what it feels like to loathe how someone plays a certain character from the bottom of your heart. (The kawaii desu iggy-chan troupe that the fandom has sattled England with ruined him for me for a long time). But do not call someone out in front of everyone to settle your beef*, send them a note explaining why you feel that the character is inaccurate or poorly portrayed, and if you find an interrpretation offensive to you on a personal level, notify one of the founders or co-founders.

*Do not confuse offense over how someone rps a character to dislike OOC, if we find this is happening, we will issue a warning, and if it continues, it will count as a strike.

♦  If you have a problem with something, please speak up, but do so in a respectful manner. If you start acting unreasonable or like a 10 year old troll who's gotten his hands on the internet, it will count as a strike and you will be kicked from the chat or blocked until we feel you have calmed down.

♦  Don't, don't, DON'T, jump in on other people's roleplays without permission. This is probably one of the most frustrating things for anyone, you're getting to an intense situation which could potentially affect how two character's view each other, for better or worse, and some serious development...And then suddenly someone gets the bright idea to jump in and change the whole thing. This sucks. Donkey balls. If someone tells you that they don't want you to intrude upon their rp, that means out. Don't insist upon being included, if someone catches you doing so, it will be counted as a strike.
(If you simply just have some witty comment that is meant to be funny but then ignored in the rp, say it, but then make sure to alert all rpers that it was a joke and not meant to actually be apart of the roleplay. If you have to do it more than say, twice, within a 10 minute span, I would recommend stopping.)

♦  Don't assume that characters are related. Unless it is stated in canon, don't have your state OC go up to America and say something like "Hey dad!", it's happened to all of us. Not many people like someone forcing their OC into a character's personal life like that, especially if they've never even met before. Ask, and if they say no, accept that. Don't pester them by saying something like, "Too bad I'm calling you dad forever", that's obnoxious and rude. Try rping with them and developing the character relations more and see what happens, sometimes with a little more familiarity, people will be more open to those sorts of ideas.

♦  NEVER force anyone into a pairing. Don't shove your character upon another. If your characters are both drunk and one's getting a little frisky, ASK OUT OF CHARACTER IF THAT'S OKAY. If your partner's replies seem slow and hesitant, like they're uncomfortable, ask them if they are. Some people are nervous about that kind of thing but don't want to feel like they're rude/disappointing anyone either. Be kind about it if they're really just not feeling it, don't try to persuade them otherwise, agree to drop the rp and start anew or change the situation.

On the other hand, if you don't like smut and things of that nature, TELL your partner before things even advance that far. It's okay, nobody will judge you or give you a hard time about it, I myself don't play it at all. If someone is harassing you for it, immediately notify an admin, co-founder, or myself. They will be issued a warning and a strike against them, and if it continues, they will be suspended.

♦  If you plan on giving your character a mental illness, physical disability, or anything or that sort, do your research. It is my biggest irk when people have a character designed for say, an insane AU, and they have done either no research or the most minimal possible amount. Like they skimmed the Wikipedia article. It is ignorant and offensive to inaccurately portray these things. Sometimes though, mistakes happen, so if anyone catches some sort of flaw in the character, they'll very politely point it out to you. Nobody will give you trouble for it, unless you blatantly did not study at all.

Now, I'm not saying 'NEVER EVER GIVE YOUR CHARACTER A HANDICAP!!!', not at all. Sometimes they really help make a complex, deep, and developed character. One of the co-founder's OC has hemophilia, and she has a reason to back it up, and she is very deeply informed on the subject, and many people love her OC, including myself.

♦ No smut in the main chat. On tumblr we have this handy dandy feature called Tumblr Savior that'll blacklist any tags you like, but here we don't have that. A second chat will be made for large group event rps, smut, and rps that center around sensitive subject matter. Basically, if you think that whatever you're rping could potentially trigger someone, take it to the second chat. If someone tells you what you're rping is making them feel uncomfortable, take it to the second chat. Don't ignore them either, I've seen that. People were too lazy to move their operation and despite at least 5 people telling them to go, they would just carry on and ignore everybody. They were kicked from the chat for a bit ffft.


Pretty much, just be polite to everyone and we'll all get along just fine! c:

Group Info

Hello! We're a group dedicated to roleplay, and though we suspect that the main populace of the group will be made up of Hetalia rpers, we're open to all fandoms and crossovers!
A few rules:

:bulletblack: We DO allow doubles/clones of characters, meaning that you can have an unlimited amount of the same person.

:bulletblack: No special privclasses, meaning don't make a privclass just to dedicate to one or two people for shits and giggles. They just clutter things up.

:bulletblack: No smut in the main chat, a second chat will be made so that you can have all them fun times without offending anyone.
