guidelines & a disclaimer from the mun
hi friends, it's emily, and obviously i am not in character right now because abby and i thought that it might be a good idea to lay down some basic guidelines regarding how we interact with the gossip blog for current and future members who might not have met nancy yet! click under the cut for more !!
to start off:
although nyada nancy is cutthroat and bitchy, that's not me! nancy and i are not one in the same, so disclaimer: nancy's opinions do not reflect my own. anything rude or negative she says is just part of me writing this bitchy character. i promise that i love you and your muse and mean you no harm, i'm just trying to make this fun for everyone!
guidelines:
a lot of these are just common sense things, but i still feel they are worth mentioning.
spreading rumors is encouraged, but please don't metagame. for instance, if there is a text exchange between rachel and jesse and some drama goes down, there is no way for your muse to know about it unless they are told about it, so please do not reference private conversations or paras in your gossip unless your character was involved.
to go along with that, if your character is involved, you can spill the beans to nancy! we suggest, however, doing this off anon. don't worry, we won't post your name. we will re-send it to ourselves on anonymous and post it that way, and let the drama unfold! for instance, if harmony wants to tell nancy that she dated brittany over the summer, she can do that, but she would need to do it off anon just so that we know that it's someone involved in the plot submitting it. we want to avoid metagaming at all costs.
with that said, you are encouraged to make up ridiculous rumors about any character(s) you choose. you can say basically anything you want about any character, even your own. the more drama, the better. HOWEVER, and this is the golden rule: please do not bring race, sexuality, religion, or anything like that into it. we want this to be fun, and sure, the nature of gossip is that it will be a little mean at times but there is a line, and we are trusting you all not to cross it and be too harsh.
please do not ever attack anyone in the roleplay ooc. we don't want to see anything that could even be perceived as an ooc attack or bullying of a mun. it's just unkind and we trust this group of people to not engage in it, but it's best to make our stance on this known: that mun on mun bullying will not be tolerated.
above all, have fun, and contact me if you have any questions!
please like this post once you have read it. thanks!
