Rights lists

[looqas]

I don't know if you can define the rights of the player that easily. Maybe define the guidelines of how to develop RP as an indie.

Yes, there are a lot of unwritten conventions and rules that you just learn while doing and playing. The one is that official factions dictate policy in broad terms etc.

That's why when I start a new indie somewhere I've never been I do this.

1) I read the official faction post in the factions thread. It gives me an idea who they are and how they operate. Also wiki is very helpful fleshing out the situation and goals and such.

2) I practice basic RP of it in the server. Nothing fancy, but just rehearsing my stances towards people and factions I meet. Actually you learn more when you let your opponent(s) take the lead in the situation and just react to them. Also it's very helpful to introduce you self to the official faction too in-game. Try to group with them. Talk to them etc.

3) As I start to learn the situation and the RP better there I start to develop my character to the way I want it to go within the limits (or stretching them a bit) of the official RP.

4) If I'm planning or driving towards something that exceeds the limits of normal RP situation then it's a whole new ball game.

At that point you find out the factions this RP concerns and start talking to them.

I think this is a lot easier way to ease yourself into that part of Sirius you just came in. It's extremely difficult to have a fully fleshed out character/RP situation from the start. If you try to do that you come over imposing your RP and your leadership on others very easily. Because learning the canon takes time. It's the other people's work you might end up tearing apart.


Well, I thought about the indie rights. And in all I mean that they abide in the "canon" or basic of roleplay.

1) They have a right to play and represent the NPC faction they fly.
2) They have a right to expect to receive help from Faction player in situations that are within the normal RP.
3) They have right to develop their own RP that does not break the canon and plausibility of the character.
4) They have right to ask and receive help from factions in developing their RP


I can't think right now anything more. But I think communication is the key in everything and rule 0.0 takes any player very far.
