1. Respect the staff. The staff is always right, do not anger them. If you are sure that they are in the wrong, PM another staff member and they will hear both sides. But do not directly confront them.
This means.
2. You MUST role play in PAST TENSE! And you MUST role play like a story.
3. Respect each other. Please don't make me hand out bans for disrespecting fellow members for no good reasons.
4. No spamming, no baiting, no trolling, no flaming, no complaining. Well.. You can complain, but do it in an organized manner to the staff.
5. Try not to double post. If you absolutely have to and you cannot just edit your previous post, then I will allow it. Just try to avoid it in the actual RP.
6. While RPing, your posts must be at least a full paragraph long, or at least five sentences long. We would prefer two paragraphs, but we will settle for one. We will be pretty lenient on this, but you will be warned if you have consistently short posts.
7. Use the best possible spelling and grammar. It annoys me sometimes when people have terrible spelling or grammar, so just spell check and proofread your posts. If your posts start getting too bad, you will be warned. If you continue to have bad posts after three warnings, you will be banned for at least one week.
8. No pornography. Of any kind. Ever.
9. Be active. If someone has not made a post, or edited a previous one, for 2 weeks without a good reason, we will send them a warning. If they don't start being active again within another 2 weeks without a good reason, we will delete their account.
10. Please don't post in an application thread unless it's yours or you're a staff member.
11. This site is rated PG-13. Generally this isn't very strong, but fair warning to those viewing this site that themes such as nudity and violence may and most likely will occur, but none of the sexually-oriented (breast fondling, crotch stroking) or persistent and gory will occur. Some profanity may take place as well.
12. Please, don't advertise outside the advertising board. It's there for a reason, so use it.
13. Signatures must not exceed 500 Width/Height. It will stretch the forum.
14. Do not godmod or metagame in anyway. This is the act RPing in such a way that you are implying you are invincible, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Metagaming is the act of using knowledge achieved OOC (out of character) to gain the advantage over an opponent IC.
15. Liquid RPing is enabled. This means that you can be in more than 1 thread at a time. However, do try and finish every thread that you are in. It's not nice leaving your peers hanging.
This means.
- Respect all staff no matter what. If they say something to you that you don't like, or that you feel is wrong, PM an Admin that's not involved in it and they will decide what's what.
- The staff must respect the members of the site as well. Staff cannot go around treating people like garbage, or not accepting their work just because they don't like you. If you think this is happening, PM an Admin that is not involved and you will get a reply on it.
2. You MUST role play in PAST TENSE! And you MUST role play like a story.
- Because this is an RP site, you must role play like it is a story, which it is. If you have never used past tense before, and need some help training with it, use the battle ground board to hone your skills, so you can become used to using past tense when you use your character.
- Wrong example: Anon walks forward and says, "Time for some Ichiraku Ramen."
- Right example: Anon walked forward and said, "Time for some Ichiraku Ramen."
