1) No God Modding

2) Do whatever and Admin tells you and do not argue with an Admins decision regarding any part of the site. If you do then the following punishments will take place.

1st offense - Warning (Admin decision still takes effect)
2nd offense - Temporary ban of 1 week
3rd offense - Your character dies and you must start over without your stats
4th offense - Permanent Ban


3) 'Mary-Sues'
Try not to make your character a Mary-Sue. It can be very annoying. Nobody's perfect, so unless your character is called Nobody - they're not perfect.

What is a Mary-Sue?

4) All characters must be approved before they are permitted to be used in the RP section.

5) keep the curse words to a minimum

6) be respectful to other players

7)If you have a problem with another member, bring it to and Admins attention and they will deal with it. I don't want any vigilantly acts on my board

8 ) Do not create any thread saying you are leaving, you are back, or that you 'love peanut butter'

9) No "word games" or any threads which result in many just 1 or 2 word replies at fast intervals

10) Personal banners and signature areas (in the event of text) are limited to a size of width 500 and height 250.

11) Out of consideration to those with epilepsy, flashing avatars and signatures are not allowed.

12) Polls must have at least 2 choices.

13) When making your poll, be sure to promote discussion, to back up the choice they made.

14) Please try not to SPAM. If you double post accidentally, there is always a delete button.

15) You can not kill another character without permission from the player or from an Admin. Admins will only grant permission to do so under special circumstances such as the player not posting for more then two days during a fight.

16) Thread necromancy (reviving old threads) is ok here. Please feel free to revive if you want to discuss an old topic.

17) Marquees (scrolling text) seem to slow a lot of people down, so be thoughtful in their use.

18 ) Check sticky posts at the top of each forum, they often have any additional rules or useful information that you should know about the section.

19) Please try to keep role playing to the role play forums, it can get confusing in other topics.

20) Grammar - Keep in mind this is a forum, not a chat box. TRY to make your posts as comprehensible as you can make them. Of course it's okay if English isn't your first language, but what we're trying to stay away from is "l33t sp34k" and "n00b" nonsense. The smallest of things can grow eventually to be very effective; so don't do such.

21) You may only advertise when you have 20 posts or more. And to affiliate you must be an active member with at least 50 posts. If you join just to advertise your forum topic will be deleted. no questions asked.

Sig Advertising - Need at least 10 posts.

22) You DO NOT have to post something your opponent would not know about during a fight.

23) When posting try to give detail on what your doing but don't over do it. There are some people out there that will post 5 paragraphs to say that the kick you by using to much detail. This makes things confusing so please don't do that.

24) DO NOT ask to be made an Admin. The answer will be no, no questions asked. If you want to be a mod that can be done, but I have only my friends as admins so don't ask.
