1:: Be respectful and tolerant! Everybody has disagreements, sometimes frequently, but that doesn't exuse nasty behavior. Just because I don't censor certain words doesn't mean you can use them against each other willy-nilly.
2:: This is mainly a role-playing forum, though if you don't want to play, you can participate in the Chatterbox and Artboard sections. When posting art that may be bloody or show nudity, please include a warning in the thread title.
3:: There will be violence and death, uncensored language, sexual situations, and quite possibly some homosexuality. If you can't deal with that, or you are under 16, please don't join.
4:: All characters must be approved by myself or by a moderator. Please do not post in any of the RP threads until you've been approved.
5:: To prevent board death and to be courteous to those of us who enjoy a lively RPG, there will be a posting rule. You must post once a week and stay active. If you know you're going to be away ahead of time for some reason, PM myself or a moderator and let us know. You can choose to allow another player whom you trust to role-play your character while you're gone.
6:: NO Mary-Sues. Please. God.
Definition: A Mary-Sue (or Gary-Stu) is a character that excells at everything without trying, is so stunningly beautiful everyone wants them, has limitless magical powers, "just knows things", or worse. Original Characters does not mean Flawless Yet Angsty Characters. To find out if your character is a Mary-Sue, go here and take this test: www.angelfire.com/gundam/otto/grayswandir/mary-sue-test.html
7:: If a thread has been going for more than two pages, please PM or otherwise contact one of the players involved before joining in. There may be an event planned, and adding another character may disrupt things.
8:: Don't use smilies within the threads. It disrupts the flow of the story.
9:: Do not play God. When posting, you may control your own character and no one else's, unless specifically given permission by the player. You cannot control another character's reactions. Before changing something in the environment that will drastically change the tone of a thread (fire-alarms, natural disasters), ASK PERMISSION from everyone involved!
10:: When filling out your application, please include the first line of rule number six. This is to make sure that the rules have actually been read and may be followed. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
11:: Some threads may require NPCs (non-player-characters) to be used, such as waitresses, doctors, guards, bartenders, etc. When you need an NPC in your thread, PM your thread-mates to decide who will control them. Bear in mind that though these are not main characters, there may still be game world consequences for randomly murdering NPCs. You can't just go around butchering people, after all...
