Hey everyone! As you may already know, this is a site recommended for ages twelve and up, due to violence through posting. The following are rules set up and designed to help maintain a functional and acceptable site. This site is for rpers who are trying to improve their writing skills and consider themselves to be good authors.
1. Posting Rule:
All post MUST be at least 2 paragraphs. As I have said before, this site if for people who love to WRITE! I would prefer to see 3 to 5 paragraphs or more, but you have a two paragraph minimum. Also check for GRAMMAR mistakes. I will not tolerate too many grammar mistakes. A few are fine, but watch it!
(ex.
BOB POSTS: Bob walked down the street and sat down on a log weighting for someone to come.) THAT was awful...please put something lengthier and check for spelling/grammar mistakes!
2. To check for spelling mistakes, you MUST use the spell check button before posting. This helps to make things more clear to readers.
3. Foul language doesn't really matter to me. Just try to not use them one too many times. Too many cuss words create sloppy writing.
4. People...those of you that have the urge to post R threads (this does not include violence), please do so through PMing. This site will not be taken over by your dirty thoughts.
5. Try to respect fellow rpers. Fighting issues can be dealt with by PMing each other. PLEASE tell me if there is an issue going on between you and/or another player. I am always here to step in if things get out of hand or if someone needs to be banned.
6. No Gdmoding. This means that no matter how powerful your character may be, they cannot kill another player without that player's consent and an admin's approval.
Also, when attacking another player: You must do indirect attacks. In other words, you cannot say for sure if your attack hit or not. For example:
--------
BOB: "Bob was running at Maria and hit her really hard. Maria was flung into the air and broke many bones, making her unable to fight."
----------
~ This is unfair to Maria, who did not get a chance to post! Please do it like this:
----------
BOB: Bob was running at Maria and aimed to hit her really hard. Hopefully he could crack a few bones.
Maria: Maria swiftly dodged Bob's attack (OR) Maria was hit by the oncoming blow and felt herself flung backwards.
--------
There ya' go!
7. Signatures. On your signatures (if u have one) try to make sure that they aren't TOO big...I'll tell you if they are and then you can fix 'em! If you need a signiture made, PM me or another player and we'll do our best to either make you one ourselves or find a photoshop expert for you!
8. No double posting! MY PET PEEVE! You double post and I will have to tranquilize you...with darts! And...other painful things.. >: O
9. Please try and keep one character to each account unless you are going to use the Color Code. The color code is a system in which (say you have two characters on one account named billy and jenny) you rp one character in one color and the other in a different color. Make sure to state which color goes with whom in your profile.
10. Warnings. Warnings will be given to those of you who break the rules. When three rules are broken, a one-week ban will be placed. If more than three, then an official site ban will occur. If you are banned from the site, I have saved your IP address on my computer. If I see it again... *cracks knuckles*
11. Admins and the three Rulers do have power over other players in a small way. If an admin rps with one of your character, they do have the option for minor gdmoding. An average human cannot kill Aro! In other words, don't plan on attacking an admin unless it is part of the plot or an approved defeat by that admin.
12. Wait until your profile is approved by an admin before posting. If your profile is not approved, DONT RP!
13. No more 'ooc' posts in actual threads, unless you are an admin and something is wrong in the thread. You may leave 'ooc' notes within posts as long as there is actual rping in them as well. If you have a question or are arguing with another player, PM each other or me!
14. You may post in more than one location at once, just don't get too ahead of yourself. In other words, you don't need to tell me where your character is going... (ex: TO: Tuscan Plain) You don't need that!
Okay, that is all I can think of for now! Have fun posting people! Don't forget to check out the plot, race information, etc.
