Site and RP Rules (Read First!)
Topic Started: Dec 26 2008, 08:53 PM (35 Views)

Basic Rules:


  • Your Username, signature, and avatar must be clean. As in, no porn, hentai, gore, or references to the like. (This will be further explained in another topic.)

  • No Godmodding or Powerplay. You are not God. You are not all powerful. Neither is your character.

  • No flaming, hate mail, chain mail, or racial/religious slurs. No SPAM (Unless in the SPAM board). If you have something hurtful to say about a player's race, color, creed, religion, background, physical appearance, sexual orientation, or the like, keep it to yourself. It will not be tolorated.

  • While we are not God, on this site, the staff are the closest thing to Him. Disrespecting the staff is a sure way to bring shame to your name. We are your judge, jury, and in some cases, executioner.


RP Rules:


  • An RP post must be fifty words or more long (about the length of a paragraph and a half). Dailong is included in this word count; OOC is not.

  • While it is not needed, it is highly recommended that you color and/or bold your character's speech. Proper punctuation is a must, whether you color/bold it or not. Thoughts must be in italics.

Basic Rules - In Depth:


  • Godmodding - Sometimes called "God Mode". The act of creating a God-like character.
    Ex:
    Quote:
     
    Lily, in the span of two seconds, killed every living thing around her, without getting harmed. Smiling, she snapped her fingers, teleporting herself to her arch rival Jess, killing her with one punch.

    Ex2:
    Quote:
     
    Jamie was surrounded on all sides by his enemy, but dodged everything thrown at him. With a flick of his wrist, all of his opponents dropped dead.

    Powerplay. The act of controlling a character that is not your own.
    Ex:
    Quote:
     
    Zach tackled Taylor over, his hands around the man's through, strangling the life out of him.

    These are the bane of the PR world, right up there with SPAM. It is considered immature, and generally signals that you are compensating for something. The acts of Godmodding and Powerplay are frowned upon and not tolerated.

  • Flaming. The act of saying insulting things with malicious intent. Hate mail is flaming in PM/e-mail form.
    Ex:
    Quote:
     
    Wow, you are so stupid. How you have managed to live this long is beyond me completely.

    Chain mail. The act of submitting multiple annoying messages through PM/e-mail.
    Ex:
    Quote:
     
    read this!!!! very important!!!!!

    THIS MIGHT HAPPEN TO U!!!!!!

    IF SOMEONE BY THE NAME OF KOOCHEYMAN69 SENDS U AN IM, DONT RESPOND!!!!!
    as soon as u respond he will automatically have your aol password!!!!
    this is very important!!! send this to as many peeps as u know, and if u
    dont, then theres something wrong with u, cuz u really should help out
    your friends!!!!

    so send send send!!!!

    There is a fine line between playful teasing and being insulting. Please, learn this line well. We don't need arguments erupting over a misunderstanding.

  • Respect the staff. And not just the staff, but all members. This means saying "please" when asking for something, and saying "thank you" when something has been done for you. This means not pestering mods for updates, and not joining into an RP topic uninvited.


RP Rules - In Depth:


  • All posts done in the RP must be fifty words long, minimum. Complete sentences are a must, along with proper punctuation and grammar (using commas, capitalizing, ect.). And before you start to think, "Fifty!? I could never!", take a few things into consideration:
    -What are my character's feelings?
    -Their thoughts?
    -What's the environment like?
    -What were they doing before?
    -ect.

    There are several ways to reach and exceed the word minimum (without repeating yourself, of course!). Before you know it, you could have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled the minimum fifty.

  • As stated, it is highly recommended that you bold and/or color your character's speech. Also, you must use italics for thoughts.

    Code:
     
    [b]Bold[/b]

    Code:
     
    [color=navy]Navy text[/color]

    Code:
     
    [i]Italics[/i]


    (For coloring your text, you may also use hex codes. Sometimes, to get the right color, hex codes are the only way. Hex Code Site)

    It should be noted that some people like to use both color and italics for animal speech (for when a non-human creature speaks in its native tongue and one wishes to show what they said).
