Types of Threads

While there are different types of threads used for formatting categories on the wiki, keep in mind a variety of EXP can be given to the completion of anyone with no reference to the type of roleplay, unless otherwise noted.

## Casual Rps

These are roleplays that occur in a casual manner. They can have a large range of encompassing features: such as a general outting or just a plain old conversation. We like to include even the smallest of interactions in our EXP system to show that we care about each step our character makes in their progression.

## Battle Rps

These are roleplays that show direct progression of combat and skills. Ranging from training, sparring, to full fledged battles, battle rps can be fun and exciting for all those involved and even people spectating! The language of battle is significantly different from another type of thread, which is noted in giving EXP.

## Single Events

In our group we want to have Holiday related events that correspond with our real time! Such as during X-mas time we will want to have some sort of celebratory party or a fireworks show for the Day of Independence in some countries. These holiday events will of course be translated to their appropriate world setting, but think of these as lax events to just have fun and be festive!

## Major Events

These events are different from single events as they can take up more time and more posts,  requiring an entire event on the group Facebook page.

## Minor Events

Minor events may or may not warrant an event tab on the Facebook group.

## MiniPlots

These are small and plot-like that can take place in one sitting but usually are 1-3 posts where characters undergo an adventure.

## SubPlots

These are the filler like roleplays that usually involvement character development and individual stories, usually ranging from 3-5 or on larger instances 5-10 roleplays.

## Plots

These are large plots that encompass the whole group, typically numbering many roleplays and can have background effects on characters and other roleplays. Because they could be mentioned in smaller roleplays as well, they have a lower set range.

Plots and subplots are how big, overarching stories that involve several characters are organized; they are basically synonymous to the concept of “stories” themselves. However, by labeling a story as a plot, it indicates that it has been pre-planned to an extent (of course not entirely, we don’t want to take away the spontaneous aspect to roleplay!) and will have a resolution. Plots and subplots generally involve five or more characters while subplots usually involve only three or four. Plots also generally take a longer amount of time to complete as well as take more posts, but all of these factors are grey areas and are not definite qualifications.

Creating and executing a plot is a tremendous amount of fun, and we encourage all members to do so! However, note that plots do require admin approval so that they can be carried out in a fashion that aligns well with other plots that may be going on at the time. That way, the group is not overwhelmed with too many plots at once, and so that we can make sure that the plot makes sense in terms of scale and content. Just message the admin with your idea, and we will work out the when and how with you! Subplots generally do not require admin approval, especially if the subplot will not be influencing too many other characters, such as a subplot where a character goes into a coma. Of course, subplots must be explained and make sense, for example a subplot where a character becomes a zombie without any explanation or context would not be okay. If you are unsure about whether your subplot is acceptable, don’t hesitate to message the admin!

## OVAs

These are special “episode” like posts that uniquely present vital information on a character and significant character progression. They exist in different forms such as backflashes if characters from differing players have a past they wish to play out, or if you wanted an optionally canon alternate universe “what if” scenario rp.

## Narratives

If you have a scene you wish to write out from a character’s past or have two characters that need to show an interaction that both belong to you, this is called a Narrative.
