We need suggestions about the rules and structure of the role play. The following is the current set of rules and structure. Please provide feedback and suggestions.

[colour=#b22222]RULES:

*Because this role play is a very structured and ideally realistic one, ALL RULES of World of Equestria, with the exception of ones dealing with applications, are enforced in this role play. You may view these rules at [/colour]http://www.canterlot...aying-rules-r15

[colour=#b22222]*You do not need an approved application to sign up an OC, though it is recommended. You DO need an approved WOE FIM Cast application to sign-up any cast character (this does not just include the Mane 6)

*Only one character is permitted in signups per person, unless we have no more than 5 sign-ups by March 9. Then you may sign up one more character.

*Only Unicorns and Alicorns may use magic. Unicorns' magic must be limited in strength, ability, and frequency. Alicorns' magic must be limited in frequency, and must not be the "solve things in a snap" type magic.

*Only ONE Alicorn is permitted in each episode.[/colour]

[colour=#b22222]*Only pegasi may control the weather

*First come, first served[/colour]

[colour=#B22222]*I, along with other [role play] moderators, have the right to eliminate you from the episode or the entire role play series if you cause misconduct. Warnings will not always be given and will be at the sole discretion of the moderators and me.[/colour]

[colour=#8b4513]STRUCTURE:

*Two characters at a time will be in play in the role play[/colour]

[colour=#8B4513]*The order in which a character plays is the order in which characters signed up. So say if you signed up for character 3, your turn comes up immediately after character 2 posts or you get a message from me that character 2 passed. If you're character 1, then your turn comes up after the last character in the list has his/her turn.[/colour]

[colour=#8B4513]*Once your turn comes up, you will have 72 hours to make your post or to send a message to Lovinity that you pass.[/colour][colour=#8B4513] If you fail to do either one after 72 hours, you get one warning and you lose your turn. After the second time, you are eliminated from this episode (but not the entire role play).[/colour]

[colour=#8B4513]*If it ends up being that your character winds up having two turns at the same time, it's recommended you message me and take only one turn. That way, I'll message another character to take a turn so that we can get back in the routine.[/colour]

In order to keep up and keep track of when your turn comes up, it is highly recommended you follow the episode's topic and select to receive notifications immediately when someone posts. You will NOT get messages from me saying your turn is here (with the exception of when the episode first begins)... you'll only get messages from me when another character passes.

*The episode will go on until a satisfactory conclusion is met.

[colour=#8b4513]Again, please provide suggestions about rules and guidelines. These rules and guidelines have not been etched in stone yet. Thanks much![/colour]

EPISODE PLOT (again, will be modified as community sees fit):

[colour=#4b0082]Episode starts with ponies enjoying a parade. Robber invades parade, taking a filly hostage. Other ponies must work together to defeat the thief and save the filly. An obstacle is encountered along the way, a maze. Each pony must use his/her special talent to solve a part of the maze/puzzle before being able to get to the thief..[/colour]

Yay!!!!

Name Crimson Tag aka Gearlock

I like the current idea.

[Lovinity]

I personally think my original idea will cause the role play to go too slow, so everyone please feed back:

1) Keep the structure as-is

2) Keep the structure but have 2 characters in play at any given time

3) All people are allowed to make one post per day

4) Something else (please let me know what)

[QueenChrysalis747]

Let's see if this works better, again my OC, Darkness Eclipsed () and as for an idea I suggest, similar to first episode of MLP: FiM, that we use our Cutie mark "powers" to save the filly. as for the section involving my CT mark, i suggest a maze.

Unless you can correct me, I personally dislike the idea of cutie mark powers.

If youre referring to the very first episode of MLP, those weren't cutie mark powers; they were Elements of Harmony, which for now for this RP the elements are too over powering... Way too over powering.

Same with Discord episode, that was the Elements again, not cutie marks.

The idea of a maze to find and free the Filly sounds okay but not original; it sounds much alike Discord episode going through maze to get (supposedly get) the Elements.

I thank you for input though.

I like the Idea of a maze. And as for posting, I like the order thing, maybe changing it slightly as we learn how it works. I also wanted to say that focusing on the cutie marks sounds awesome, but who every becomes the 'maze master' should learn as much as they can about everybodys cutie marks so that the maze can have puzzles for everyone.

Now that you say it, it does look that way. But I think by cutie mark powers I think it meant more along the lines of the special tilent rather than super magic. Get what I am saying? I didn't know how to word it.

The maze, does your idea suggest maybe that to solve the maze each pony must use his/her talent to solve a section of the maze?

If that is the case, that cutie marks simply determine a pony's talent and not magical power, then that is fine in the RP

[QueenChrysalis747]

yes, if you read my character's bio his talent is to never get lost, but i digress, I didn't actually think of having small chalanges for each of us in the maze (being as i thought that would be too close to Discord) but i do think that would be fun.

[Frost137]

I would love to play Jigsaw (http://www.canterlot.com/topic/13525-ready-jigsaw/).

Sorry to interrupt an idea conversation....

[QueenChrysalis747]

haha, i saw Jigsaw and immedietly had to read the bio to make sure we weren't about to go grim-dark!

No problem interruptions in OOCs are no problem especially if you're signing up a character. Sooner the better!

I totally forgot about this XP We need someone to play the thief! First one to elect, first one to play! It is ideal that you haven't already signed up but it isn't required that you have not signed up yet.

[Dabom444]

Name:Flashbomb

Bio: on my profile, has scars, blue coat and long blond mane. oh and orange eyes. owns 1 osprey falcon whom is named Rivet. Rivet is white and black with red eyes. :3

All i can say is no OP junk

Oh I'm prepared to bash out anything OP... that's why this role play will be like World of Equestria role plays, just without the applications and a few other things.

Thanks for signing up!

EDIT: OP sorry, not OC

Got it!

Also, I've edited the structure of the role play a bit. Here's the new structure:

[colour=#8B4513]*Two characters at a time will be in play in the role play[/colour]

[colour=#8B4513]*The order in which a character plays is the order in which characters signed up. So say if you signed up for character 3, your turn comes up immediately after character 2 posts or you get a message from me that character 2 passed. If you're character 1, then your turn comes up after the last character in the list has his/her turn.[/colour]

[colour=#8B4513]*Once your turn comes up, you will have 48 hours to make your post or to send a message to Lovinity that you pass.[/colour][colour=#8B4513] If you fail to do either one after 48 hours, you get one warning and you lose your turn. After the second time, you are eliminated from this episode (but not the entire role play).[/colour]

[colour=#8B4513]*If it ends up being that your character winds up having two turns at the same time, it's recommended you message me and take only one turn. That way, I'll message another character to take a turn so that we can get back in the routine.[/colour]

[colour=#8B4513](I want to try and see how this goes with two characters in play at any given time... if it goes too fast or causes too many problems then I'll knock it back down to one character.)[/colour]

we may have a problem, sometimes i cannot garentee i will be on enough to post my turn order, I will try hard, but sometimes i just cant \garentee

[Lovinity]

If I change it to 72 hours to respond, but still keep the 2 characters in play thing, would that work?

FYI forgot to tell you that if you end up being the thief your position will be the last one on the list... but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be the last to post since 2 characters will be in play at the same time.

[QueenChrysalis747]

yeah 72 hr should be quite fine, just incase of those rare times i dont get a moment, also like to note that between April 11-16 might not post at all, i will be moving and may not have any internet

I'll try to remember that

And changed structure from 48 hours to 72 hours now. Hope this helps

[Gearlock]

So when does this start, and should I app up another OC?

[Lovinity]

So when does this start, and should I app up another OC?

Starts on March 11 or when we receive 10 OCs. We have 6 right now (well actually technically 7).

I'm only accepting one OC per person in this episode. I would accept a second one if we were short on sign-ups, but we're not that short and we still have 3 or so days.

[Gearlock]

Ok that works!!!
