Main Rules
- No cussing/bad language. The admins do not tolerate bad language and if any is heard from anyone, they WILL be punished! Do not think that you will get away with it, because we WILL find you. ^^ ok. Well that sounded a little mean and angry... but I hope you guys get the point.
- No inappropriate material It's just not tolerated. Anything that's inappropriate will be deleted and the person saying it will be punished. MUAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah... -cough cough- I will like torture them to death in my room of oblivion. ^^ lol... I'm serious...
- Some violence. Keep everything around PG-13. If you think that something in your bio or in one of your posts is a little too violent, let one of us admins check it or put up a warning. Say something like "THIS POST HAS BEEN RATED PG-13". Or at least something like that. And like I said, don't make anything to gory. Just try to keep it on the low level of blood and violence. You may have a LITTLE TINY BIT of violence in your posts but nothing that makes people go "EWWWW! That's DISGUSTING!!" Got it? ^^ Good.
- No impersonating others. That's like saying "OH HI GUYS!! I'M MOONY!" when in fact I'm Blue (yeah, I'm the admin. Who do you think made these rules. Oh and by the way, these rules are thanks to Moony). We will immediately find out that you're faking and yesh, you will be banned. For a while. Just to teach you a lesson. ^^ yeah, I'm that mean.
- Give credit. If you take something from someone, give credit to them. If find this really cool picture that was drawn by someone and your friends ask you about it, DON'T SAY IT'S YOURS, cause IT'S NOT.
- Don't be a Mr. Grumpy Gills (Yep, it's from Finding Nemo). Have some fun, laugh your butt off. Chill, Relax, Chillax. This is supposed a fun place, not a fricking funeral (Oops, mind my language. Got a little emotional there). So have a good time, cause we sure are... or at least I think so. ^^
- Be safe about some info you're giving out! Doesn't matter who you're talking to or where... most of the stuff you'll be writing will be public! You have the option of editing/deleting posts at the board, but not on the Cbox. Have fun, but be safe!
- We don't have any specific deadline on "who's active" or "who's not", but if you're going to be away for a long time, please tell us beforehand if possible. Your characters and account won't be deleted if you have made posted an RP, but if your character is not active and is on an important position (usually those positions are 'limited'), if the character's not active in 3+ months (depends on what character you have)... it might be taken off the important position for others. If you applied for that position, it's your responsibility.
RP Rules
- No Godmoding/Power playing. I'm pretty sure we all know what this is, but it's still a rule, and I'm going to explain it. Basically what it means is that you can't control other people's characters. It's a REALLY big no no. If this is seen, you will be asked to modify your post. Either that, or we'll modify it for you and that's never fun.
- This is an intermediate level RP site, so you have to have at least one paragraph per post. We understand that some people may have an author's block or loss of muse and we understand if some of your posts are only a couple sentences. But, if all your posts are one sentence long, then we will either ask you to change them, or they will be deleted, or we may change them for you.
- Also, No abbreviations. "Lyke D1s" You can use some common ones in the cbox on the right, but in posts, if any abbreviations are present, you will be asked to fix them.
- You may play any of the characters listed in the Book of Beginnings if they are open and you're welcome to come up with your own. We encourage that. The book of beginnings is actually sort of an idea book for you guys. As always, if you decided to create your own character it has to be checked by an admin, but that'll already be done when we check your bio. This one isn't really a rule, I just felt like I had to inform you guys. ^^ Oh and one more thing. Some positions ARE limited. It's a first come first serve kind of thing. So if you want a special one, you better come quick. We might make some exceptions though. ^^
- Characters will age (depends on what type of species though!) and will eventually die (by your choice, of course).
- We play by liquid-time. You can go to multiple threads at once in different settings and time.
- We have a plot of our own, but want a special mini-plot for your character? Go for it! They can be as big as you want, just don't overthrow the main plot.
Good example: Guy wants to take over the world--and really attempts.
Bad example: Guy brings meteors and drafts an army of Pikachus and totally nukes Aerie off of the face of the Earth. - You can talk (OOC) while you're RPing--that's great! But make sure you're actually RPing too... so like don't flood an RP board with "101 Ways to Get Kicked out of Walmart" type thing. But make sure we can tell the difference between your IC (in character) RP and your OOC chat in an RP thread.
Mainly, your character talks in RP boards; you talk in OOC (out of character) boards.
