The Rules, Duh.

Alright, welcome to the first COMPLETELY, NON-PLANNED AND OPEN RP since Tales of Reality 1 possibly.

These are the rules that everyone must commit to, or they are banned.

After analyzing and RPing for a couple years, I found that these rules work best.

1. This must be OPEN. That's right, no planning villains or future events or anything of the sort. ESPECIALLY NO PLOT TWISTS SHADOW!!!! The only thing you may plan is your characters and their back story. In other words, this RP will be like the beginning, where it was surprising and fun.

2. For everyone's sake, no overpowering your characters. In this RP, you have to keep their abilities at minimum (not like the angelus please) and quite realistic in a sense. Like if they use magic, do not have the certain spell destroy half the village in one hit, please. Also, there is a two character creation limit for mains. So same rules apply as before.

3. We must wait for others to catch up, unless these RPers give us permission to continue. There have been problems regarding this before.

4. IF you're going to drop out you better have a good reason. If you drop suddenly or give an awful reason, you either will be restricted of posting rights for a couple days or a ban, depending on the number of violations the previous person has had.

5. Try to keep the posting limited. In other words, you will not have a posting limit, HOWEVER you should have judgment on when is too much (aka vamping).

6. No controlling other RPer's actions or character mauling and mass murdering (MMM). This causes disruption UNLESS you have permission to do so from the RPer.

7. Please be creative and have fun. Do not steal cliches or Sephiroth. You read this. Now commit to it. This RP is all about creativity this time, where everyone has a chance to create something new.

8. Finally, do not go overboard with the creativity. Please. This does not mean invent one million cities or ten thousands villains. Let everyone have a chance and present an idea one at a time. If the character has a hometown, a character can live in the same hometown.

4. There is a ten day trial period. Because of the sudden constant dropping out of the previous RPs, I have made a new decision. If you like the RP and stay after do not leave after the ten day trial. If you suddenly quit after, Shadow and I will arrange a ban that will not be lenient.
But what if it becomes really dull or you can't stand some fuckwit's craptastic character anymore. Forcing people to be in something they don't want is not a good idea and after all who was the one crying because we where 'rushing them' *coughShadowcough*.
You need to calm down with your admin powers. Or you'll end up being nicknamed Napoleon and Squealer. :D



Oh and can we have another few rules?

NO FUCKING *FURRIES, MARY SUES, OR GARY STUS or Dues ex Machinas, oh and don't get attached to your characters like they're your pwecious children as this can also contribute to Sues.

*NOT anthro. The two are very different.

We decided a ten day trial period to see if you will actually be interested in the RP. Countless people have dropped out of Side RPs and thus unintentionally killed them after they became a key role in said Side RP.

Once those ten days are up, you can decide if you want to stick around or not, you won't get punished. And if it has gotten so dull to the point that no one wants to continue then that's kind of a given.

Yeah, kinda. I mean you can make a new character and such but you still will be banned for x amount of days. I know it sounds harsh but when people drop out it disappoints to a point. A rule's a rule and Shadow and I have talked about it. It's not only my decision. He agreed on it as well.

And hence the creativity part.

See rule #8.

Were you not been paying attention to my last post?

What if someone leaves because they, I dunno . . . they can't stand someone's grammar. They're going to get banned for a reason that wasn't their fault. I think you should just abandon this rule there'll be complications which'll just cause more arguments.

Well the rest of the forum didn't agree to it, did they? That's like Hitler saying that his right hand man agreed on the final solution so therefore it was fine.

And I remember when you two didn't go behind everyone's backs and make up rules that no one had agreed to, and this place wasn't so shit because of that.

OK, you're not running a large site we don't need all these fucking rules and banhammer abuse.


Oh and when you make up rules, it might be a good idea to stick to them.

That's exactly WHY I made the rule I quit before and I DO Plan to ban myself if I don't follow it.

Fine NEW RULE:

If someone leaves they better have a GOOD explanation for it. IF NOT THEY ARE BANNED. IF THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SOMEONE ELSE BRING IT TO ME!!!

First off, you're the only person on the site who has a problem with grammar. If you also don't like the rules then don't bother with the RP. You're also the only person who seems to have a problem with this.

If you don't like the board then who's keeping you from leaving?

P.S. Everything should not GO your way. Everyone seemed fine with the surprised and I asked for suggestions for a NEW RP a while ago as well as PM'd a couple people about it and analyzed ToF: M.

Also your grammar was not perfect at the beginning, so why bash everyone else for it?

If you were actually reading it properly I did not specify who it was. I was just using that as an example as to why someone might leave.


And I didn't say I was actually going to take part in the RP did I? I just read the rules, didn't agree with one of them, and I expressed my displeasure. There's nothing wrong with that.



And, well sorry I didn't know you wanted me gone that much, Shadow.

eleca, did you hit puberty and are now on PMS? You're being an ass to the people in charge. That's just flat out stupid. I think these are some good rules.

Again what's with all the sneaky PMs? And obviously it wasn't EVERY ONE if one person didn't know about it. Yes you asked for suggestions but this rule wasn't discussed.

And I wasn't bashing anyone. That was just a random example. Nor do I remember ever bashing everyone on this boards grammar, you seem to be misunderstanding my post.


Also I don't know if I have to remind you of this but I was twelve at the beginning.


Honestly, why are you both ganging up me? I didn't like something you said, and so I said I didn't like it. Do you have a problem with freedom of speech?

Why don't you go educate yourself on puberty.


So? I didn't think one them was a good rule and I can say I don't think it's a good rule if I want to.

And we already sorted it out. So that's the end of that.

Dammit Eleca. She has a point. Eleca is expressing her feeling about a rule and that's fine. But still, this is Lenna's site and attacking an admin is just stupid. By degree of being your Ambassador of crazy, I deem this conversation silly.

A) Look yes you have freedom of speech.

So don't we.

B) The rules weren't made to oppress people, only to fix what went wrong to restrict everyone.

C) There was a REASON WHY I KEPT THIS RP A SECRET!!!!!!!!

I never TOLD anyone else, because I thought it would be a nice surprise for people. I only told shadow cause he was admin. I never told him much anything else.

THAT'S IT. I didn't even tell BLAZE.

I only have one problem with the rule of leaving and not posting anymore, I have a life (yes shocking isn't it?) see if I go to a friends house I am not allowed to use there computer and I am usually there for about 3 days, and there can be allot of posts in 3 days (as I have realized -_-) and I don't want to read 5 pages posts I missed just because my friends refused to let me have a computer to use, and on top of that, getting banned for it, not saying its a bad rule, just saying the rule is against me if I go into the RP, so I will just pass on the RP because I do not wish to get banned over something like that.


Also on a side note, why is eleca banned? did she get to voice her opinion to much or something...? or did she just go against the admins.

Also I am not going to complain over grammar because my grammar last year wasn't even readable over the internet, and its still not perfect. Also what if someone has the same problem as me? or they get a internet problem and somehow can't be on for 1 week. Or what if they are moving to a new house in which case you wont have internet for a long while. Maybe if someone isn't online for like 2 days you should PM them in advance and ask them why, if they have been active and decide to stop, then get after them for it, wouldn't that work better?
