1. Post in third person, i.e. 'She walked down the hall', 'Lorin was hungry', not 'I felt scared'.
2. Post in past tense. For instance: 'Rinliah spun in a circle', not 'Sieri draws her sword'.
3. The closest you may get to sexual content is something like 'Shanari looked the maid over, a smile on his face. He dropped a coin in her pocket, along with his room number.', and that is discouraged, too.
4. There is no excuse for curse words. If you post even one curse word, you will get a warning signal. 3 of those means you are banned for a day, and more than that can be a month of banishment. If you continue to use curse words, I will delete your account.
5. Each group has its own board. Members not of that group can only be invited. Members of a group may invite a character not of that group by pm or post in the Marketplace, if you already have a thread with them.
6. One thread at a time!!!!!! There is no way that your character could be in two places at once, now is there?
7. All bios must have at least a paragraph of history. I know that most people wouldn't know this about you but I have found it is essential if you want your character to feel real.
8. You must also read the bio guidelines.
9. If you have a character, it would be nice, although not necessary, to have your display name be the name of your character.
9. At the moment only one character is allowed. In the future there may be more, but more coding will be needed first.
10. The chatbox is your friend!! Feel free to use it for emotes (signified by asterisks), board-related stuff, story-related stuff, or any other random stuff that crosses your mind.
11. If you have any other ideas of what should be rules, PM me.
12. There is only one board for role-play, and in that board all posts will be in character, unless symbolized by ((OOC:[textextext]))... All OOC should go on the other boards, and on them no role-play is allowed.
14. Please remember that no one is perfect, so that means no perfect characters either.
15. No controlling other people's characters.
16. If attacking someone, give them a chance to defend or react. (So unallowed would be: Bob hacked Joe's head off. Acceptable would be: Bob lunged at Joe, his sword aiming for Joe's head.)
17. Just... just do it, ok? You know what you should and shouldn't do, it's obvious! Don't be smart-alecky and look for loopholes.
