Yes folks the rules are finally here to keep nitwits in line. =D
Lets start with the basics, shall we?
1a. God Mode
This, folks, is a no-no. God mode, for you who are not experienced in the area, is, for exaple, this;
John growls after recovering from the kick in gut and slowly stand up "For Gods sake..."
Erik starts advancing while smirking at John. "Oh, he's already here..." he says and runs a hand through his hair "I happen to be God..."
Now what Erik did is God mode. He over powered his character, if he was God for real he'd be able to fry John on the spot. And now what fun would that be? You'd just be hated guts.
1b. Power Play
Power Play is similiar to God Mode, but this is within battles. An example on Power Play is;
John runs at Erik, aiming a spinkick for his head.
Erik dodges John's kick in lightspeed and then punches him in the chest, punching a hole straight through it and killing him.
1. John never agreed on his character dying.
2. You're a boring bastard if you Power Play.
3. If you ARE capable of doing a thing like this I want to see an agreement from both sides that you are gonna kill his character.
4. If you guys make battles where you both decide it's on life or death then if someone makes a killing move it's valid and don't go under this rule.
2. Flaming
Like in all other forum flaming is against the rules.
Do it and I'll simply strike you, it's that simple. I do not tolerate anykind of racism.
Be it skin colour, sexuality, religion or gender.
This is a no budge rule and I have no tolerence for anyone who breaks it.
3. Spelling and Grammar
I will not, and I reapeat NOT see any text language in the rps.
You do not talk like 'How R U Dude?' or 'H33l plz' etc in realife, do you?
I will see proper english or proper any other lanuage that you use, but I will not see fucking text language here.
I'm not gonna forbid script style of rping, but novel kind is more appreciated.
4. Posts
You do not double post.
And you do not make a sentence long post in the rps.
I will see at least 2 sentences, that shouldn't be hard to make.
And I WILL warn someone who writes posts like.
Sonic: Lets go beat Eggman!
Tails: YEAH!
Sonic: *beats Eggman*
Seriously hate that and I will warn people who make these kind of posts.
5. Roleplays
If I see roleplays where the creatore makes a half arsed attempt to no attempt at all of a first post and explain it through saying 'I'm bored' I'll delete the RP right away. Try to keep some quality, alright?
I want to see some thought put into the first post, into the plot and into your character.
6a. Official Characters and Fan Characters
Let me get this straight with all of you.
None of you own any of the official characters, unless you claim control over an official character for individual rps you have no right to act like it's your own character.
I say this because some fan created characters involve the official ones in their pasts or present and if someone comes along and acts out those official characters completly different to what that person had in his characters history it would just end up as a big mess.
Refrain from using official characters at all, it's plain uncreative, but it's not against the rules.
6b.
Created characters belong to the person who created them and you can't start controlling someone elses character without the owners say so and in that case I want proof that the person agreed on it.
7. Acceptance
I will not see people being elitist and saying 'You can't join because you're not good enough'.
Not unless it's an rp you've planned for ages and only want hardcore brilliant rpers in it...In which case I think you'd be fucked here anyway.
8. Mature Content
As all of you might realise mature content is not allowed. Now some of you might wonder 'But when is it mature content?' it's when it gets past the stage of romantic kiss, light snog, and wanders into the whole sexual area.
This is a No-No folks, it won't happen. If you want sexual stuff keep it over PMS.
9. Common Sense
You all have it, use it.
Breaking these rules will first result in verbal warning, then a strike and if you get enough strikes it can even result in a bann.
