Glossary This is a glossary of terms for the inexperienced roleplayer, and perhaps even for the inexperienced at the internet. Let's start with the basics, shall we? AFK: Away from keyboard, this means someone is going to be away from their computer for an extended period of time. Not sure where this will apply here, but it might be relevant. Metagaming: This is explained in the rules, but we believe metagaming to be utilizing knowledge that your character does not have in-character in any way, shape, or form, even if it does not benefit the character themselves. Don't do it. Godmoding: Godmoding is roleplaying your character as stronger than he/she is, or making them perform impossible feats etc. It also includes dodging every attack in a battle roleplay, and applies to controlling another person's character within your post. It should not be done. RP: Roleplay. More often than not, it can appear as "RPing" (I am RPing) and "RPed" (I have RPed). Timeskip: For those who do not already know, a timeskip is a skip ahead in time. This can range from a day to a generation to a billion years, although some of these are more impractical. Timeskips will usually only be initiated by admins. |
