Forum Roleplaying Rules

You're free to write in any style you want, so long as it's
legible and not so full of errors that others strain to
understand you. However, since this is a community, there are
rules you must follow so everyone gets along and has fun.
1) Be courteous and mindful of other peoples' characters. People
spend a great deal of time and energy giving their characters
life, so don't be an ass by killing/crippling/humiliating their
characters without their express permission.
2) Be aware of creative license. Understand that each character
is the intellectual property of his or her creator, and misuse
of these characters not only makes people upset, but it disturbs
the story's continuity. In other words: you're free to use other
peoples' characters (unless they express that they don't want
other people using them), but don't have them doing or saying
things that aren't conducive to their personality.
3) Try to keep continuity errors to a minimum. Read each post
carefully so subsequent posts transition well and don't have
plot holes. If posts get too screwed up, a moderator will have
to step in to clean up the mess.
4) Don't bring out of character disputes in character. If you
have a problem with somebody, don't take it out on their
character or the story. Settle it via PM or off the board
entirely.
5) On the other side of rule four, try not to take offense at
another character disliking yours, even if the player and you
are good friends. Tensions such as this add depth and flavor to
the story, and are not to be interpreted as personal affronts.
6) If you have a problem, take it to a moderator first. If he or
she can't help you, take it to an administrator.
7) Player characters can't be killed off unless they have not
posted for five days, then a warning post will be made by a
moderator. If no response, then the character can die in the RP.
8 ) No OOC posts are allowed in the IC thread, you get three
warnings, on the fourth, your character will have a nasty
accident.
9) The OOC thread is for discussion of the direction the
originator wants the RP to head and any problems the PC's may
have.
10) Post a character in the Character thread before joining an
RP.
11) Wait for approval for that same character before you intro
the PC.
12) If you do something dumb or silly, then you are open for
killing, or maiming. So be somewhat realistic, as you can still
die.
13) No one hit wonder posts. That means you had best be able to
do what you say you can do, as the moderator will check you
characters from time to time.
This Forum is also for all kinds of RP's. So if you wish to
start one up. feel free to jump in and start one.
If any other rules are needed I will add them.
