SPECIAL FIGHTING RULES
Thanks for reading! Sorry it's so long, just wanted to get it all out there. Overall, don't do anything stupid or obnoxious. It gets on everybody's nerves. Participate when ever possible, a Role Playing Game just isn't fun with out participation!
001 | First thing's first, this site is made PG-13 due to Proboards TOS. If you have not taken a look at them yet, I suggest you do so here. We do accept death, mates, and pregnancy. You are just now allowed to thread out sex/violent or extremely graphic fighting (fights are allowed still). You MUST PM a staff member about that fight/death/mating/pregnancy. If a marriage or pregnancy occurs, both partners must stay active or the event will not follow through. For further information on how to have young, please refer to the guidelines the the Young Life forum.
002 | Post in third person! It just makes sense from if you go from one post to another. We know who you are talking about in third person. We don’t like having to go back to the character profile to figure out who “I” is. And second person is just a weird way of typing, I don’t think anyone understand that, and if you do, hats off to you, but we don’t use it here.
003 | You are allowed to have an icon of your character. That icon can be no larger than 150 wide x 350 tall. If it's larger or smaller, we will remove it. It must be of your character that is that profile. You are allowed to have a signature of your character. It can be no larger than 500x300. Any longer and it doesn't look right/stretches the page. It must be of your character that is that profile.
004 | There is no word count here. We just ask that you post as much as the poster you are playing with, unless you have worked out an agreement of any type. I don’t want to have to receive a PM complaining about the lack of words here. So please, either work out an agreement, or work on your word count. If you’re the one posting more, try to cope with the lesser poster and encourage them to raise their word count, but don’t nag, nobody likes a nagger, it annoys us and then we don’t do what you ask. Thank you.
005 | Do not God-Mod, Power-Play or use "Wolf Speak". What that essentially boils down to is don't control another character and speak regular English. Just makes life easier.
REGISTRATION
006 | We do not care what username you sign up with. As long at some point before you get accepted or right after you change it to the character's full name.
007 | Should be see any kind of racial slur, foul language or anything of the sort in user names, you will be banned without notice. We don't deal with that bull.
008 | This is a one account per character site. Please keep this in mind when you register.
CHARACTERS
009 | We do not limit how many characters you have, or how soon you can get them. While we would prefer if you didn't character hoard (having over 7 characters), if you can keep up with all of them in an activity sense, knock yourself out. Please do be aware though, that you may only have one WIP bio at a time.
010 | Bios are allowed to be posted even when they are still being worked on. Actually, we prefer that so that we know you are working on a character and haven't forgotten about us. Bios must be filled out properly to be accepted. This means nothing to make the template look different from the others. I've spent a good deal of time working on that bio, please do not change it. You are allowed to add things to it, but no changing the bio up for it to look different.
011 | Characters left abandon and/or inactive (and/or players inactivity) for more than 30+ days, their character(s) will be moved to the inactive board. If you must be away for a long period of time due to circumstances beyond your control, you must post about such things in the absences board. We will work with you to the best of our ability.
012 | While we let you do a lot of ting with your character when you create it, please do abide by the rules we have set down. All of these guidelines will be explained in the character creation guide.
CHAT BOX
013 | Do not spam, advertise in, or bash the site/members of this site in the CBox. If it's a member that is doing this, I will confront you and/or them about it. If it continues, I will take action. All advertising should be done in the forum designated for advertising. And spamming, well it's just not nice. The cbox is there specifically for communicating with other members and guests. Not for your random typing pleasures.
014 | You must have a name registered with our chatbox to talk in it. This is so that no one can impersonate anyone else.
extra notes You can have an avatar (yay!) and if you want a fancy colored name, you can purchase one from the shop for a cheap 20 coins.
PUNISHMENT
015 | For any rule breakers out there, a PM will be sent to you once we have found that you have broken a rule above asking you to fix it. If you have not responded (to the PM or by fixing it) within a week, you will be sent an email of your violation. If it has still not been fixed within a week after that, your account will be banned.
If you do fix it, time will go on. If you break the rules 2 more times, your account will be suspended for a period of time upon staff discussion.
If you repeat after your account has been suspended, you will no longer be able to play the game with us.
SPECIAL FIGHTING RULES
001 | Fights can be over anything, but if they are for anything besides personal plots (battles, rank disputes, etc) you must contact an admin to set up judging before the fight begins. In a structured fight, you will be brought to a separate thread where the judge of your fight has set up the conditions. You will have 2 overall dodged the entire fight. "Partial" dodges (where 1/2 of the attack or more is missed) count as a full dodge. You get one attack per post.
002 | You have 24 hours after the last post to make your reply. By going any longer, you will lose the fight.
003 | Please post a synopsis of your attack (and dodge if there was one) in the bottom of your post. You should also keep track of your dodges. Should you be fudging the number, you will be disqualified.
004 | Power Playing or God Modding is an automatic disqualification.
