Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How come this game does not have a lot of rules? Unlike the other RPGs this board does not have a lot of rules. This is purposeful so that game play would be easy. If you have questions about the game and the do's and don'ts please READ ALL the rules and this thread FIRST before contacting the GM.
Q. I heard I can ear FP for playing this game, is that true?
A. Yes you can, please read the rules thread for more info.
Q. Why does this Role-playing Game require 60 posts and the others only 30?
A. This game requires little effort to play and few rules, so we did not want spammers coming in and 'spoiling the party'.
Q. My character is created, but what do I do now?
Wait for the GM to Post your Character's intro into the game then, go and read the first post of the current game and just 'be your character'. Say anything you like, speak to anyone you like, but remember all the other players may have to vote on if you stay or go, so you might want to be nice.
Q. In the Medieval game we handle our character and we speak in third person, is it the same in this game or we can talk like if its us?.
A. Well actually in Medieval you can be first or third person. Example: You can say in the camp that you want your character to say something 'exactly' and then it will be added to the story as first person, or you can choose third person and just say what (in general) your character wants to say without giving exact words. BUT, to answer your question about Love & Life Bytes RPG - it is totally first person, but make sure to realize that you are not your character.
Q. How we interact with each other?
A. Simply post messages as normal, type as much as you like, when you like, only when the Game Master suddenly posts a message in the game do you have to start following his directions (whatever they may be). Remember, you don't want to overdo anything in your messages, other players have to vote if they want you there or not.
Q. Can I add something to flavor the story that the GM did not put as part of the scenario?
A. No, the idea is that you have to use what you 'get' or in other words, use what the GM gives you and tells you that you have, anytime you 'add' stuff you are on your own as it is not part of my story line. Anything added other than what was spoken of by the GM will be considered an 'illusion' of the mind. So to you it will be happening, but to the overall game it is a dream. (Please see the last post of the rules which I will update in a few minutes to explain this better).
Q. I am so used to the GM giving us something to work with, what do I do?
A. That is the key! There isn't supposed to be much intervention from me. Please see the updated rules part which explains the DOs and the DON'Ts and gives you a sample story. If you cannot handle that then you should not be part of this game.
Q. Can I play this and other RPGs at the same time?
A. No, unless you are a Premium or Plus member.
Q. Can I use my real pic as my character avatar?
A. No, let us keep it just RPG please!
Q. How do I tell which Threads are for Love & Life Bytes RPG and which are for Spotlight RPG?
A. They are labeled in the description with either "Love & Life Bytes RPG" or "Spotlight RPG".
Q. Can I create a character for both Spotlight RPG and Love & Life Bytes RPG?
A. Yes you can so long as you have the relevant Post amounts.
Q. Some past games are not labeled as "Love & Life Bytes RPG" or "Spotlight RPG" why is that?
A. Both RPGs were on separate Boards before and therefore did not have the Threads labeled. Those passed games are closed now so you do not need to worry about Posting in them.
Q. I see both boxes for each Character I made within my Posts, how do I know which Character I'm using in the game?
A. If you are in a Love & Life Bytes Game Thread then you post using the box to the left which has your Love & Life Bytes Character. Conversely when you are in a Spotlight RPG Thread you use the character on the right box.
