Twitter Roleplaying Tips

This is a list of items that you should keep in mind while on PokeTwitter, so it's still fun.

Do

 * Do make sure that you use the proper method to reply to other users. This is done by using @ and then typing their username without any spaces (Ex: @Croconaw hey, how are you feeling today?)
 * Do use common sense. If you think the tweet you just typed out is going to upset or offend someone, don't submit it.
 * Do use OoC: or just use Parenthesis to talk out of character
 * Do Remember: This is Twitter, NOT an RP. Use it for Tweeting, not engaging in true roleplaying. If you feel the need to put asterisks to describe your actions more often that simply saying what you're doing, you might be better off at a forum.

Do not

 * DO NOT GodMod. (Ex.: Say goodbye. *you fall to your doom and die. No way to escape*)
 * DO NOT twitter during sex.
 * DO NOT fix a spelling error. (Unless it is major or you rewrite the entire tweet to do so, deleting the first one)
 * DO NOT use multiple Tweets to write one sentence. It's understandable that you may need to use two Tweets on occasion, but if you're finding yourself to use three or more constantly, consider rephrasing your sentences. (This includes making multiple posts of only a few words in quick succession)
 * DO NOT make posts along the lines of "Is anyone on right now?". Not everyone is on Twitter 24/7, so be patient when waiting for a response.
 * DO NOT purposefully instigate drama and try to make people fight. This is okay if it's in-character and everyone agrees, but no attacks on players themselves will be tolerated.
 * DO NOT talk out of character for long amount of times
 * DO NOT protect your updates. It prevents other people from seeing anything you post unless they're following you.
 * DO NOT self-promote your sites or causes. Nobody likes being bothered with information about your YouTube channel, Myspace, GPX Plus eggs, etc.
 * DO NOT use the same Hashtag (the # symbol) multiple times in one post in an attempt to get something into Twitter's Trending Topics. Twitter is programmed to actually count this AGAINST a hashtag if it's spammed.
