GUIDELINES FOR ROLE PLAY NIGHT :)

General Principles

Please try to stay in character, if you can. The point is for us to walk in our characters’ shoes for a bit, not have them wear ours. For example, we know Jessica is in love with Hoyt in TB3, so she shouldn’t really attempt to cheat on him with Jason. That said, a little harmless flirting never hurt anyone!

Let’s try to keep everyone included so we all have fun.

No-one is to kill ANYONE! Not even Bill!!! Eric, Pam, this means you!!!

Please don’t change character during play - we need you all!

Please don’t PM the other characters - the PMs are a bit temperamental in Chatzy and you might end up blocking or deleting a vital PM from the moderators asking someone to do something really significant!

Please try to describe your actions for the other players, putting them inside asterisks *wipes brow, opens large bottle of rum*. It helps everyone form a picture of the play in their minds

Most importantly, have fun!

Specific guidelines for RP night

The evening takes place after the end of TB Season 3.

All characters are their TB versions - we will play SVM characters another night.

Have a pen and paper handy right at the start, as you will be sent an envelope by ‘your’ moderator, containing your objectives and motivations for the evening. Write down what it says (or C&P it into a Word doc or similar) as if the PM disappears, you might forget what you’re meant to be doing! If that does happen, please PM your moderator to ask for it to be sent again. Similarly, if you have a query during the evening, contact your moderator.

Please take a look at your character bio - there are little helpful hints as to who you might be able to work with or against.

The Host for this evening will be Sookie - Please take careful note of what she says - if it’s in CAPITALS she’s describing the action for you; if she says something, she may be giving you a hint or a clue.

Everyone will be asked at the end who they think did it, what they think the motive was, and why they suspect them! If you figure it out sooner, please don’t let on, so that it doesn't spoil things for other people!
