Rules (read This First!); These will keep everyone happy as long as they're followed.

Right. So these are the rules everyone MUST abide by or risk being banned from this forum. For most of them, I'll issue warnings, but there is one that I will not issue warnings for. I don't have many, and they shouldn't be too difficult to follow, but they're still necessary.

1. Respect your fellow RPers. If your character treats everyone poorly, that's fine, it's their choice to do so, but don't use a bad in-character attitude as an excuse to be a douche OOC. This also includes posting sensitive material. Please don't post any explicit pictures or links to obscene websites.

2. NO GODMODDING OR AUTOHITTING. It's childish and takes away from the pleasure of the game for others, unless you have a cool scene worked out with another RPer, but still try to make it seem natural in the posts, and if it's something important like a death scene, send me a PM ahead of time, please.

3. Please try to make your posts readable. I'm not a grammar nazi or spelling freak, and I understand typos, but if the words underlined in red outnumber the others, there's a problem.

4. Try to post as much as you can, but don't feel pressured to if you have writer's block. You don't need to let me know you won't be posting if you're going out of town, just make sure the people you're RPing with are aware so they can focus on other things.

5. Don't post one liners, and keep it semi lit to lit. This means speaking in sentences, describing your actions rather than using **, and putting thoughts in italics. Parentheses are fine for OOC, but try to keep it out of the in-character section as much as possible. Also, don't post anything overly long, and try to break up long passages into shorter paragraphs. Walls of text aren't very easy on the eyes.

6. Don't do anything overly explicit in the forum. Keep in mind that there will likely be minors on this site, so no blatant sex scenes or overly graphic violence, and don't make every other word an expletive, unless your character has Tourette's, but even then, don't use it as an excuse to swear needlessly. Take your sex scenes to PMs if you must and use a time skip or something in the thread.

7. there is no rule number 7.

8. No metagaming. This is the one rule I will not give warnings for if it is broken. If anyone is caught using out-of-game knowledge about the storyline or other characters in character, i will ban them. Same goes for anyone caught falsely accusing someone of metagaming. No exceptions. So just don't do it.

9. if you have a cool idea for the story, let me know via PM. I'm always open to suggestions, but don't be disappointed if yours doesn't get accepted, or if it does, don't be disappointed if it doesn't happen right away.

10. No spamming, not even in the OOC boards. If you're really that bored, there's plenty of other internet out there for you to amuse yourself enough to get it out of your system.

Apart from that, have fun! I think I've covered basically everything, but I reserve the right to add or remove rules as the need arises. Rules and guidelines for character creation can be found in the Background section.
