Here you will find various sets of rules. Before you apply we ask that you read all of the rules before committing to our community. I know it looks lengthy but it's really very basic.

World Wide Rules
In Game Rules
Cbox Rules
Other Limitations and Restrictions

:World Wide Rules:
 


+ Activity is a must! We are flexible and yes we understand you cannot spend every waking hour on this site. We also know this probably isn’t the only site you visit on a daily basis. However we do ask that you remain as active as you can here. Our limits will break if you are absent from the site for over a two week period with no prior notice to the absence. After two weeks you will receive and email. If you still do not return to the site within a week’s time after the email your account/character will be put up for adoption.
+Character/Kid Count and Accounts. You may only have ONE Character per ACCOUNT. However, you may have up to Three characters/accounts. A fourth and Final character can be obtained by reaching a 200 posts break. If you reach 200 posts you may private message either Aedyn or Akema for a fourth character approval.
+Behavior. Okay this is a moderate to advanced level of Roleplaying or CWG (Collective Writing Group), being that we expect our members to act accordingly. If you feel the need to be a racist prick I will slam the ban hammer on you, if you decide to start unnecessary drama, I will bitch slap you with the ban stick, and if you fell the need to be a dumb ass and post a sentence worth post I will harm you …. Very ..badly. So pretty much, this means no bullshit outside of roleplaying environment. You may hate each other vehemently in character, just as long as it doesn’t cross a line. And yes I know sometimes we just can’t stand a certain handler (real life person controlling rp character) but you can get over it or take your arguments off the site. I will have none of that shit here. This is the one rule that does NOT flex. If you are racist, spamming, belligerent, stalker-esk, harassment…. Etc I will ban you permanently from the site.
+This forum is meant for mature peoples. However in OOC (Out of Character) Please reframe from ANY Sexual Conduct. If you want to talk nasty to one another over the net by all means take it to your instant messenger systems. Please.
+Be courteous and Enjoy: Remember this site will be an ever constant mad house of new ideas, plot lines and yes even irritations to. However, Akema and I will work our best to make this site worth your while. We want you to meet new friends who share the same passion as you for RP/CWG, the development of characters, the practice of writing. So please if you find anyone breaking any of these rules or the following, we ask that you take immediate action and contact one of us (Aedyn Karsis, Akema) or our moderators. Also if you have any ideas or suggestions please submit them in Here



:In Game Rules:
 


+Accounts and Profiles: First and foremost let me talk to you about Characters and Accounts. For every registry (sign up) for the forum you will be given ONE character. Before you will be allowed access to the Roleplaying portion of the site you will have to fill out an Character Profile and post it in the Character Profiles forum under the New Profile Section. Then it will have to be accepted by one of the admin’s or mod’s and you will gain access to the rest of the site. Without doing this you will not be allowed entrance to the roleplaying area.
+A Note on Posting length: Please I know we aren’t always filled with BRILLIANT Posts, or even lengthy posts. But we at RM hope that all of our members can post at least 200 words per post. We are not super strict on this rule but 200 words is either a good sized paragraph or two paragraphs. And we can all do this. Being a moderate to advanced RP/CWG it is expected of our members to be LITERATE no chat speak in character (slang when speaking excluded). We also hate it when someone posts a twelve paragraph post that isn’t beneficial to the story. Don’t go overboard with pointless sentences that lead off on tangents that have nothing to with what’s going on.
+Rating: okay this is in concerns with content. We love graphic posts, we love thrilling posts, and yes even EPIC posts. However, this site will be a R rated. Some nudity, cursing, violence, and sexual content will be found in these forums. However, if you create a thread to simply have sex it will be deleted. We would like to keep sex within private messages only. But the small fondle here, kissing there, is okay. No Pornographic content may be posted in this forum(take it to private messages). Cursing of course is a must in situations however, if you just go off the rail with your character swearing every other word we will warn you and delete your post. Its senseless to have a character that does nothing but swear non-stop. You will only be warned twice for this.
+Races: In Character Races: Yes you can be pretty much anything you damn well please here. But we strive for originality, we like seeing what you can come up with. So if you come up with some strange new race simply describe a little about it as an end note on your profile (which every account must submit) Normally Akema and I will accept it, if there are any problems with it we will private message you and await your changes/compromises and we will work it out. Only rarely do we down right refuse a race. But remember this ALL HISTORICAL BACKGROUND ON ANY RACE FROM THE REAL WORLD WILL NOT SLIP INTO THIS. So NO FUCKIN DRACULA! Yes we may have vampires, however, they have a set of characteristics here in our world abide them. So before you apply for anything, it is wise to check out this thread. The Legacy.
+Time Lines: okay you may post as much as you wish. You can have up to twenty threads, we don’t mind but please, please keep active in them. Everyone hates having to wait weeks on end for someone to finally respond to their posts so their character can move on in the story. So if you are going to be inactive for a time make sure you tell those on the threads you are in. Also we ask that you put up a timeline thread for you character in the Character Maintenance threads. Also no posting in the future. Every day on the site is another day in our world. You may post in the past though.
+Within posts I know it is tempting to use what other’s have posted already in your post. However please do not simply repeat everything someone else posted in your own post. Its like stating the obvious. Also DO NOT QUOTE ON THIS FORUM!!!! (if you click that damn quote button I will shoot you) It stretches the pages and also screws with the length of the thread and makes it more difficult for posting orders.
+If you wish to have a private thread with only certain people in it then post in the Thread Topic the name of that thread then tag in brackets followed by the names of those you wish access. EX: The Calm before the Storm [TAG] Akema. See not hard. This can come in handy to.
+Please spell check before posting, or do what I do, use Word or Microsoft Office or something that checks your grammar and spelling for you. We like literacy here. This isn’t a very strict rule just sort of a guide line.
+And of course for our favorite rule, NO GODMODING, POWERPLAYING, SPAMMING within roleplaying. You are not a god we can kill your character, and yes there are far worse things for your character than death (bwhahahah! O.O!) But no seriously if you are caught doing this more than twice you will be banned. If you don’t know what these things mean then here is a brief description. God moding=all powerful no weaknesses no faults. Powerplaying= knowing something in character that you shouldn’t like what another character thinks about your character even though they haven’t said or shown it. Even if you are a telepath you cannot read someone’s thoughts just because you will have to gain access to their mind, and then THEIR! CHARACTER! Will allow you to hear what they are thinking. Spamming = random bullshit posted over and over and over and over and over and over again. NO! Thank you.



:CBox Rules:
 


+No Sex
+No Spam
+No Arguing with the Mods/Admins
+No Advertising, if you wanna do that take it to our Affiliates board.
+If you have a complaint about something, the CBOX is not for this. This sort of thing needs to go through private message to an admin. Do not bug the Admin’s constantly in the Cbox. If you must then simply ask if one of the admins/mods has time to answer your question/ listen to a problem and they will either private message you or use an instant messaging system to contact you.



:Other Restrictions:
 


+Avatars need to be 150x400 nothing bigger, if it is bigger it will stretch our forum. Avatars should also be your character’s picture. Please no pornographic material. (Nude pictures may be asked to be changed but not always)
+Face Claims: Yes I know everyone and their brother’s sister’s mother’s auntie have shifted rp sites to only allow actors/ress’ however, that is not what we are doing here. You may use any piece of art for your character that you find (whether it is a celebrity or not is up to you) However , if you do use a celebrity for you character you must say who. If you use a piece of art you found off Deviant art (or another art site) you must state where you found the art in your profile. For example in the play-by section of your character application you would put the link to the artist’s home page. Simple enough but it is necessary. WE WILL HAVE NO ART THEFT ON THIS SITE. And all you have to do is tell us where you got the art or who the artist is.
+Signatures, or siggies cannot exceed 500x300 Please anything larger will be warned, and then removed if not take care of within the next two days. We don’t want a stretching forum.




**Remember this page is due to change from time to time. So keep an eye on the announcements and see when we update this page. All rules are expected to be followed and if broken we will not take a simple “I didn’t know the rules were updated” as an excuse. Thank you for reading out rules and enjoy the site.**
