okay, i'm not strict, here are the rules:
*The admins try to keep the peace. Respect them They're job is rather tiring if everyone they talk to snaps at them.
*NO back-to-back posting!
*NO Godmoding!(control other peoples actions)
*NO spamming!
*NO Auto-Hitting! Unless you have permission from myself or the person you are battling.
*NO bad language! Make up you're own bad language that won't be offensive. Like 'bloody' or 'Freezing'. be creative!
*Keep all 'adult-material' PG-13 at tops! That means no in bed, no rape, nothing of that sort. This allows: Kissing, suggesting of making love but not actually, and hopefully you get the idea. If you even THINK you what you are about to Role-Play will break this rule, DON'T do it.
*Be respectful of other's around you. They came here to have fun, not to fight against eachother!(unless, of course, you're RPing two people that hate eachother, just no real life)
*Post in the correct places!
*Be creative but please do not start your won story in a rp that is already taking place unless you have permission from the thread starter or if you are the one who created the thread.
*Have Fun! this is what the site was created for!
*And last but not least, stay in the medieval time period or which ever period the RP takes place in!
Note: My rules are law on this forum. I reserve the right to add or take away rules as i see fit.
Below are some descriptions and results for breaking that rule on this forum.
No Godmodding
Description: Godmodding is either having a character that is way too powerful, or controlling another persons actions, with them having no say in the matter. If, for some reason, this is absolutely neccesary, ask over PM first.
Warning: 2 warnings per month
Ban: 1st offence is 3 days, 2nd is 1 week. 3rd is 2 weeks.
No Metagaming
Description: Metagaming is using OOC knowledge to your advantage in IC, such as reading anothers profile and looking at their weaknesses, then "knowing" it IC.
But say a person were reading anothers mind, wouldn't they be able to know their weaknesses? Possibly, it all depends on the mental strength of the one who is having his/her mind read. Simply list that a characters mind is strong in your profile, and voila. They think of completely random thoughts, and the other has no clue what their weaknesses are.
Warning: 1 warning
Ban: First offence is 1 week, 2nd offence is 2 weeks, and the 3rd is a month.
No Insulting others
Description: Obviously, I am speaking of OOC flaming. Insulting another IC is simply part of the Roleplay. But try not to throw out a constant stream of insults that would make someone from South Park shudder. Just make sure the other person knows that the insult is IC, as I've seen something happen many times where one person thought the other was insulting OOC, and it often led to nasty arguments.
Warning: 2 warnings
Ban: First offence is 2 days, second is a week, third is two weeks.
Absolutely no OOC remarks that anyone may consider racist
Description: I myself feel very strongly about this matter, and I'm sure many others do as well. Do not make racist insults or remarks OOC, as I will not tolerate them. At all. They are permitted in IC, if the character happens to think that way, but none are allowed at all OOC.
Warning: 1 warning
Ban: First offence is a week, second is two weeks, third is a month.
No Spamming
Description Spamming is making pointless posts, deliberately to annoy others.
Warning: 2 warnings
Ban: First offence is 2 days, second is 3 days, third is a week.
No Flooding
Description: Flooding is when you make tons of pointless posts in order to knock other posts off the page.
Warning: 1 warning
Ban: First offence is 2 days, second is a week, third is two weeks.
Overall, just have a good time
Title says it all.
A Note About Rping:
This site must be the same in posting. As in, the majority plays in third person past, which means everyone has to, because if not, it is confusing.
Also, do not use asterisk' (*) when describing actions.
*Aldura walks into the shop, saying hello to the innkeeper and sat down*
DO NOT do it this way. This is a 'newbie' post, or a post made by people new to this type of thing.
Aldura walked into the shop and said"Hello, shopkeeper" with a grin. She walked over to a seat and sat herself down.
This would be an example of an medium-level post. Not much happening, not much description, but it does set it up for other people to post.
Aldura walked into the dusty shop, stopping to run a hand over the badly splintered wood, wondering what might have done something like that. A sword, most likely. She opened the door and nodded to the shopkeeper, a old man with graying short hair and leathery face. "Hello," She said kindly. The man grunted, and picked up a glass to clean.
She looked around the shop, noting a couple of chairs strewn about. She didn't want to know what type of shop it was, but she noted it was a glass maker's by the openness of it. The chairs must've been for apprentices to work on. She sat herself down and hung her head, smoothing her hand over her forehead and bringing up stray hair that had fallen over her face.
This would be an experienced post. As it has a lot of description and sets a setting, and tells a bit about the character. This is NOT required in ANY way. This is just a reference if you would like to write longer posts. Try this: Try to name all five senses. This will make your post a lot longer and people will respect and want to RP with you more.
Note: This is a semi-lit forum, as in, we don't mind if a few words are misspelled, or you forget to capitalize a few sentences. But if you do it repeatably, it starts to get annoying and rather hard to read.
Hope this helped
