- | There are pros and cons to playing an independent character. On one hand, you are able to go anywhere in the setting at your leisure, only interacting directly with faction managers and the setting manager when necessary. On the other hand, as a role-player it may be difficult to find other player characters for yours to interact with and not all of your threads | + | There are pros and cons to playing an independent character.

In the words of admin Wes: "We need an alternative to the traditional plot where the GM is in control, plays the captain, the players play grunts, and the party goes where the GM feels like instead of making its own choices.

- | ==== Canon and Continuity ==== | ||
- | |||
- | In general, we try to include all roleplay as canon—meaning that your RP becomes an official part of the SARP history that must be acknowledged by and accounted for all the other role-players on SARP. For example, if your character crashed a spaceship on a planet in your roleplaying thread, the debris could be noted on the planet’s wiki page and appear in other roleplay threads (maybe they want to salvage it). | ||
- | |||
- | Reasons that RP threads might be considered non-canonical include non-canon elements (e.g. unapproved tech), or major events and changes to the setting that were not discussed/ | ||

+ | - Talk to strangers more. You can find more rumors and jobs that way. | ||
