Though we just want you to have fun on this site, there are a few rules that we ask you to follow to make sure that everyone does have a good time on this RPG.
<<Any of the rules are subject to change at any point>>
•Word count must be at least 200. Grammar, spelling and punctuation is appreciated. No chatspeak please.
•Though this is a PG-13 site, we would like to ask you to not include anything graphic involving sex or anything of the sort. This includes swearing, though it is allowed, try not to abuse it.
•Although Mating between characters IS alright, forced mating and anything graphic isn't allowed, we will delete any posts breaking this rule. (Though we will save it if the member wishes to modify it back within this rule)
•Only one character per account: read the instructions under Character Bios for more information. It makes things a lot easier and less confusing for everyone else.
•Characters may only be in a maximum of THREE threads at once. And you have to remain on your side, no switching from Ammon nation to the Rebellion or vise versa.
•When/if your character bio is accepted, you should change your display name (in your profile) to that of you character name, this is pretty generic on almost any site but we just though we'd mention it so that it isn't forgotten.
•You MUST make a face claim post. Even a plain description isn't enough. This makes it easier for everyone including the staff if you have an already-chosen avatar so that we can see the human form easier. It also makes transitions smoother if you are appointed to high staff and are put into our sidebar. This can be done either within the original character bio or separately. If you need help, PM the staff (especially if you cannot find an actor/actress that best suites your character.
•You must make at least three posts in order to qualify for the option to make another character. This other character CAN be of the opposite nation but they must be in separate threads and you cannot use one character to sabotage, fight, or interfere their home nation. If you are confused about this rule or are wondering if you are breaking this rule, just ask your question on our question board or PM one of the staff.
•Make sure your character bios are approved before you start playing them! If we find this rule being broken, we will delete any posts by that person and the character bio.
•Also try to keep the ratio even. We don't want an imbalance of genders or of species. Don't count out humans, they do play their importance.
•No double posting: there is a modify button, please use it. It saves the staff a lot of trouble. Double posting is also annoying, it uses up precious space on our screens.
•No godmodding! This is a big one. In real life, no one can control what you do or say so don't think you can do so in here either. If you don't know what godmodding is, need an example or are wondering if your post contains godmodding, just PM one of the staff, they will be able to help you.
•In a similar respect, please try to post in third person. It is just easier to understand. But if you can't post in third person, at least try to take the time and make your post easy to understand and correct in the correct tense you are posting and all.
•No random spamming/ advertisements in posts! This just uses up space and can get annoying, so please just refrain. We have a nice advertisement board right here.
•Also, no sigs bigger than 400x200. In similar regard to the previous rule, it saves space on our screens.
•Also, please put a picture of your face-claim in either the avatar spot or the sig, and a picture of your character in the remaining place. This keeps things easy and neat.
•In your sigs, you need to make sure that you put the field (if any) that your chara has (yet again, once/if your chara is accepted) and the ranking (there is a link here for details on apprenticeship and a link in the sidebar for the Character Bio Template)
-Also please put which apprentice (only one; if any, only Masters can choose to take an apprentice) with a link to the Rper's profile (if you need help, PM me (Admin) or Valerie and we can help you with the links)
•Please don't put advertisements in your sigs, we have the advertisement board, please use it. There is a link to our advertisement board in the previous rule about posting with advertisements.
•Please respect the staff, it helps us a lot. We do all of the work behind the scenes so we don't need the crap from you. We also post just like you, and we try not to favor anyone in particular so don't think we are cruel either. Also, respect the members too, they keep the site live with their posting, and don't count them out, they may become staff some day.
•Do NOT spam the C-box. This rule counts if you are a guest or not. Spamming the C-box can result in a temporary ban (if you are a member) or an immediate ban and report to proboards if the guest in question becomes a member. We will keep a lookout for these people breaking this rule.
Thank you for your cooperation in these basic rules!
