Promo/Segment RolePlaying Rules
As well as being able to write their own matches, RolePlayers in the XWA are also given the chance to write their own promos. Below are the rules to follow when posting a promo in the XWA.
As well as being able to write their own matches, RolePlayers in the XWA are also given the chance to write their own promos. Below are the rules to follow when posting a promo in the XWA.
- Do not use anyone else's character at the start of a promo without the permission of the handler first.
- Promos are required to conclude with one of a series of tags. If you do not provide a tag, your promo will be considered "[Open]" with the rules for that tag specified below applying. The tags are as follows;
[Closed] which indicates that your promo is closed, meaning that nobody can respond to continue the segment.
[Open] which indicates that your promo is open, meaning members can respond and continue the segment in any way they see fit.
[Open, ___ ] which indicates that your promo is open with the exception or inclusion of anything past the comma.
[Tag To: Someone] which indicates that you are tagging the promo off to a specific individual or group of individuals. - All promo responses are subject to the same rules regarding tags with only two exceptions; A. If a RolePlayer responds to a promo and tags it as "[Closed]", the RolePlayer who started the segment is reserved the right to continue the segment; B. If a RolePlayer responds to a promo and tags it as "[Tag To: Someone]" and tags it to another RolePlayer, the RolePlayer who started the segment is reserved the right to continue the segment but must wait at least 24 hours for the third party to have a chance to respond.
- Try and be realistic when it comes to attacks. If you decide to respond to a promo and attack someone, don't go overboard and kill the character or cut off a limb. Only basic ambushes are allowed. Simultaneously, if you leave your promo open, are attacked, and are laid out, don't respond continuing the promo hulking up and laying out everyone who just attacked you.
- All feedback for promos should now go in the promo feedback sub-forum.
