Fear the Dead RPG
Welcome to The Fear the Dead RP, a group dedicated solely to The Walking Dead verse before inquiring about joining please read our rules and regulations. If you cannot abide by these rules then this group probably isn’t the right group for you.
Rules and Regulations.
1. First and foremost no drama, on the TL or otherwise. If you have issues with another author or character please handle those matters privately. If it gets back to the admins that certain authors/characters are causing problems you will be removed from the group immediately.
2. No bullying. It simply will not be tolerated. If we witness or hear about authors bullying one another your character will not only be removed from the group but will be blocked. If you feel you’re being bullied by another author please bring it up to the mod account immediately.
3. Auditions and backstories for OC's are a MUST.
4. Absolutely NO parody accounts. This is for serious roleplay only, our authors do not appreciate the characters, and the work of the show writers that we know and love being mocked.
5. No doubles. That goes for canon characters and OC face claims. This is to merely ensure that there is no competition within the group. Roleplay should be about fun, not one upping each other.
6. If you like a canon character reserve it! Auditions for said canon character must be more than a paragraph long and MUST be sent to the mod account within a week and a half of reserving the character. If for some reason you can’t meet the deadline DM the mod account and explain the situation.
7. No creating accounts just to mate, this isn’t Match.com or E-Harmony. Creating a Carol just because you think Daryl will jump her bones won’t fly. Authors and their characters do not exist just so you can live out your sexual fantasies. Try buying yourself a vibrator or investing in some rosy palm action.
8. OC’s are more than welcome as long as they have a well thought out and established backstory. If you insist on incorporating a canon character into an OC’s backstory GET THE OKAY FROM THE AUTHOR FIRST. Don’t expect that just because you have Dixon as your last name Daryl and Merle will accept you as kin. It’s not going to happen.
9. AU SL’ s are also allowed, but once again just because your OC or canon character has an AU SL with another character don’t expect other canon characters to recognize that SL.
10. We all have OTP’s but trying to force your on another author is unacceptable. You ship Bethly? You want to bring your ship to life? Unless both authors agree on the ship it probably ain’t gonna happen, so stick to your fanfic.
11. Try to stay as canon to the show as possible, rping previous seasons is more than okay, but bringing Shane back to life so he can SL in the prison with Rick isn’t canon.
12. Rping outside of the RPG is allowed, but if you decide to mate outside of the group don’t expect your mate to be welcomed into the group and all SL’s with open arms. That’s not how it works.
13. Just because two characters are mated in the show doesn’t mean those characters will be mated in the group. Glenn doesn’t have to mate with the groups Maggie, same goes for Rick and Daryl. It is up to the author to choose who they mate to.
14. RESPECT YOUR FELLOW AUTHORS. We’ve all heard rumours about one another, but don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Many authors get a bad rep due to jealousy and people spewing hate and bs. If you’re a rumour-monger expect to be booted from the group.
15. Absolutely NO godmodding. Nobody likes a godmodder, don’t force a baby on a canon character and DO NOT make Daryl prom king.
16. Research is key! Understand your character before attempting to play them. It is almost impossible to do justice to a canon character if you don’t relate to them on some level. Just because Merle is a redneck doesn’t mean he’s uneducated and stupid. We learned that there’s more to him when he quoted the bible and spoke about Woodbury’s library. Does that sound uneducated to you? If it seems you’re making a mockery of a canon character your character will be removed from the group capiche.
17. If you MUST engage in TL sex for the love of all things Reedus keep it classy and above all stay faithful to your mate.
18. Try to be active at least once a week. We know life gets busy, but those inactive for more than two months will be removed from the group. We will make exceptions if there is a situation that calls for a long hiatus.
19. Do NOT go out of your way to exclude people from your RP. We’re all trying to get along here if you can’t leave your issues at the door and focus on RP then this group isn’t for you.
20. NO OOC on your characters TL, and ABSOLUTELY NO BEGGING FOR FOLLOWS FROM CELEBRITIES OR OTHERWISE. That shit is annoying, leave it for your author accounts.
21. Admins will be kept a secret so potential authors can’t charm their way into the group. We’re trying to keep things as fair as possible.
22. No poaching characters from other groups. If your friend is a part of another RPG UNLESS THEY’VE BEEN KICKED OUT FOR INACTIVITY OR OTHER REASONS WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THEM INTO OUR GROUP. It’s not fair to the RPG’s that worked their asses off to get to where they are now.
23. Those that are in the group must have FTDRP hash-tagged in their bio or location.
24. Have fun! Roleplay is an escape from the real world, it shouldn’t be painful.
That’s all for now folks. More will be added as we see fit and we expect EVERYONE to abide by these rules. Thank you and welcome to our group.
