(This thread is not aimed at anyone; this is a general tutorial on how to improve your DM skills and/or progress for the newbies.)
Hello, all. There are those who happen to know about being a good Directional Manager, but I'm here to state these things to those who are starting out, or have poor DMing skills, especially a fighting RP.
To start, when someone is making mistakes and is not doing anything about it, DO NOT JUST STAND AROUND AND LET THOSE MISTAKES PILE UP. There have been instances where a player has been making these errors, like god-modding or making a character OP in a fight, and the DMs aren't doing anything about it, or adding on to the mistake making. That's not being good DMs. The situation is easily fixed by calling for a stoppage, and asking for a middle ground, or to fix those errors before they can move on. If these situations can't be brought down, then of course you can kick them out. It's the DM's job to monitor their RP, and if they aren't doing their job correctly, ask them to come to this thread. If you do not monitor your own creations, they will implode faster than if you are monitoring them.
Another point involves multiple DMs in a big RP. You will need multiple DMs to run a big RP, and there will be disagreements every once in a while. The job of the DMs are to reach a middle ground, and when that happens, the RP will run smoothly. If, however, you can't agree on the issue, and the RP derails, all of you are at fault, because none of you can agree on anything. This goes for those who can't stand other people, as well. If you can't stand your fellow DM, compromise and work on an agreement, because it's the only way to do if you're really wanting to RP.
Finally, if you want to remake one of your RPs that had died off, go for it. If you have any new ideas, or you just want to have a whole new cast of characters in your disposal, what's stopping you? Now this does not apply to RPs that have been made by someone else. If you want to remake someone else's, make sure you ask them first, because if not your RP will more than likely be deleted. If, however, the original DM can't be reached for some reason, try to contact them. Though if they happen to say that they'll be gone from the forums for good, I guess there's nothing wrong with remaking one of their RPs.
Thank you for taking your time and reading this tutorial of how to be a good DM/asking. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. And if there's anything I left out, please post what is missing, because I know I haven't hit all of the points here.
Kay, bye!
