BE RESPECTFUL
This should be totally second nature, but show respect to staff and your fellow players. We do not tolerate hate speech here and speaking badly of someone because of race, religion, gender or sexuality. This behavior will earn you an instant ban. Same goes with the Shoutbox. The Shoutbox is for friendly talking and IC banter. If the staff sees anyone being rude or harassing others they will be asked to leave or banned.
SHOW PATIENCE
This is a casual roleplay forum, and one that understands its staff and players can't always be online. If you have more time than others do, you should be mindful and sure not bother people about posts or applications. We'll get to it as soon so possible, but we have our own things, too.
APPLY BEFORE YOU POST
You need to wait until your application has been approved before you can post or start a roleplay thread. It can be confusing to other players and a hassle for staff otherwise. Each character must have their own account. Each player is allowed five characters. All unfinished apps will be deleted after three weeks.
GODMODDING IS A NO
We understand there are characters who are stronger than others and should be roleplayed as such, but that is no excuse to Godmod. Every attack has a chance to strike true or miss, and no one can avoid forever. Keep realistic, fair and try not to frustrate your roleplay partners.
SO IS POWERPLAY
This can be incredibly frustrating, and I suspect you all know what it is. Do not ever take control over another player’s character. It’s rude and there are no excuses for it. If you would like to write fan fiction take it to Fanfiction.net or the out of character board.
TRY TO BE LITERATE
While this is a casual roleplay and not overly strict on how it runs, we like our members to at least try and be literate. You should give your roleplay partners something to work with, a paragraph or two, and not one-liners. You'll have more fun and in-depth roleplay if you're more descriptive.
KEEP A POSTING ORDER
This is another given, but try to keep a posting order in mind when involved in threads with more than one other person. This will make all your lives easier and make sure no one misses out on a turn.
DEVELOPMENT IS KEY
The point of role play is to develop your characters farther than their original stories. But be sure to keep things like relationships between characters slow and steady and keep away from any graphic sex or violence. This site is considered PG-13 due to Proboards TOS. For the sake of the other players be sure to fade to black when needed. If the admins see you using this site for just sex threads or soliciting cybersex over Pms you will be banned.
