Rules
1) This is NOT a one liner rp. You should atleast post 5-8 sentences as a minimum. Mximum...do whatever you want as long as it's paragraph form and longer then 5-8 sentence each paragraph.
2) grammar is very important, if you have to, get a dictionary. There is a spell check
3) Try to keep OOC to a minimum there's a board for that
4) There is a two character per person limit. If one of your people go inactive for too long they will be deleted.
5) Once a character profile has been approved, said profile cannot be altered without express permission from an admin.
6) Godmodding JUST DON'T DO IT! Godmodding-is controlling other player's character's movement, speech or making their character do something they do not wish to do, or acting upon information that your character could not have known. The ONLY time you can do this is with express permission from the person playing that character.
7) Just a Game...
Remember this - first and foremost, everyone in the RP is here to have fun and to tell a story. Do not take anything that occurs In Character to heart, even if it is something bad done by another character - he is merely playing his part in a grand drama as you are. He does not mean it as a personal attack on your person, and an opportunity may arise to get him back IC later on...
8) We all like to win. Each character will at some point, provided they prove worthy of it, win a significant victory for either themselves, their loved ones, or their faction. However, where one wins, someone has to be the loser. Therefore, there has to be some give and take - you must be willing to lose from time to time as well as win for the sake of the story.
9) Friendly bantering is permitted in the General boards, but insulting, mocking or attempting to humiliate someone will not be. This is all a game, and all here are equals.
10) Sometimes people need to talk Out Of Character in In Character boards, When this does happen please keep it on topic. Like asking a question about the rp.
11) Remember when you start a thread make sure you establish a sense of beginning. Describe your Surroundings. Trees, People (NPCs), and buildings. This will help keep most things clear.
12) Attempt to atleast post two times a week. If that's hard for you to do, let us know. We understand.
12b) Logically you should post once every three days. You won't get in trouble if you don't post in three days but you might fall behind in if you are rping with a large group. We'll try to be understanding, but there's only so much one can do. Moral of this? Post as often as you can. You can have a life, but try
13) The opposite side of this is people who post too much. Don’t go crazy. Please be considerate. If Chris, Wyatt, and Bianca are all in the same room and the two boys go back and forth for hours Bianca will be left behind. Use your better judgement, we're not going to limit your posting. But please do be considerate.
14) You are allowed in one thread at a time. We cannot have Wyatt at The Manor and in The Underworld at the same time. Wyatt is cool but not that cool. When you leave a thread indicate where you’re headed. For example [out-The Manor]
14b) The only time this is allowed is if your power is astral porjection, or you have cast a spell where you can be in two places at once.
15) Do NOT join if you feel you cannot stay active with the group. When you register, you will be given up to 72 hours to begin your role-play, or you get your first warning. This place is for serious roleplayers, not casual ones.
16) If you no longer want your character, please inform the Staff and give us some time to find someone else to play it before you do leave. If you'd just like to play a different character, that's ok, just let us know.
17) No oblivious- You can not post saying you are in an area and not post there.
Ex:
[Leaves and goes to the dining area]
And you never posted in the dining area. Your character is not in oblivion so don’t put them there.
18) Try to keep a lot of your IRL drama off of the boards...we don't need to hear it.
29) If, for any reason, the post of another Player, doesn't make sense, breaks a rule, or ruins any plans you had for your character(s), You may not OOC about it in the RP board, it is preffered that you take it to PM and POLITELY ask them to modify their post and give them reasons why. Should they decide that they can't do this they must respond as such IN PM with reasons why.
Basically...we don't wanna hear bout it, we're not 3 here...act like it.
Please Remember that this is just a game and its here for the enjoyment of everyone so please sign up, play and have fun.
