1. The Moderator runs the story, not you. If you have a suggestion then you have the right to bring it up with the mod, however they also have the right to turn the idea away.
- In addition a moderator has right to add additional rules to there game.
2. DO NOT HARASS THE OTHER PLAYERS. I will not have it on this board and believe me, if you're some fancy hacker that can get past banning then I have my own presents for you. Every player has there personal rights as players, if they don't like what you are doing then they can tell me and then you have to deal with admin wrath - 0 - spooky doom.
3. All characters must be approved by the moderator before you can start playing. this is unless of course the moderator tells you otherwise
4. Any plots, joint posts. backgrounds or other character points that heavily involve another players character must be approved by the character's player. (this includes relationships)
5. No character may start off having any knowledge that the moderator didn't athorize them to have.
6. You can not officially kill any character off without permission from the mod and player.
7. Most of these RPGs will be gay/bi/het-friendly unless ther moderator states otherwise. We don't discriminate, so if you do, this isn't the right game for you. It is up to the players to decide if relationships have any place here, and what nature those relationships will be. No bashing those relationships IC or OOC, or you will be banned immediately. I will not tolerate bigotry in any way. Note to Moderators: If you do not indicate that the RP in NOT gay/bi/het-friendly from the START then you can not stop it when it begins.
8. You may post as often as you can, but give the other players a chance to participate as well. (i.e., don't spam us with posts). On the flip side of that, don't stress about having to post because you haven't in a bit. RL happens, and RPing can take a back seat to more important things. Don't stress out about it either way-- it's just a game.
9. Only write using your own characters. If you want a scene to go a certain way and need another player's character(s) to say or do certain things, consider doing a joint post (a post between two RPers) and plot out the conversation/fight sequence/whatever between the two of you. But don't use someone else's characters without permission because (for instance) you thought of a witty response for them to say. That's not cool.
Also, this is not a warning or banning worthy offense but it must be noted here, some games are rated NC-17! There has, in the past, been concerns about this. So, it will be posted in the comments before you enter the board.
If you do not know what that rating means, I will clarify it here.
NC-17 No One 17 and Under Admitted
Signifies that the rating board believes that most American parents would feel that the media is patently adult and that children age 17 and under should not be admitted to view it. The media may contain explicit sex scenes, an accumulation of sexually-oriented language, and/or scenes of excessive violence. The NC-17 designation does not, however, signify that the rated media is obscene or pornographic in terms of sex, language or violence.
That being said, it also means that there are some subject that will be covered here that the average person would find uncomfortable to deal with including (but not limited to): Graphic sexual intercourse, graphic homosexuality, vulgar language, extreme and graphic violence, rape, pedophilia, necrophilia, necrophagia and cannabilism, etc.
By signing up to play a game, it is already assumed that you have not only read this but you understand and except this. You have no one else to blame if this comes up in game and it makes you uncomfortable. I also don't want an angry mommy after me, so I'm warning you now.The posts themselves will not be locked, so it is at your descretion to read or not read them. I'm not your net nanny, I won't go out of my way to protect your innocent mind. You click, you chose.
These Rules are very simple. Violation of these will result in a warning. If you have obtained a warning from the admin or mod, it will be noted. If you obtained 3 or more warnings, you will be permenately banned from the game you're in. If you have gained a warning and then proceed to go 4 months without gaining another one, the first warning will be removed from your record. However, if you have two warnings, none of them will be removed. If you're banned from more than 2 RPs or have been known for harrassing players, you will be banned from the board. That said, I'm not a psychotic Nazi bitch, so don't be scared to play, just have respect for other members! Have FUN!
