General Rules

Registration:

1. Your account name must be the name of your character. So if your account name is Mr. Pickles, that must be the name of your character, as simple as that. Of course, you can use your characters nicknames and such instead of their full name as your account name.

Base Rules:

1. Description of scenes of death, gore, blood are allowed on this forum, but Adult Content is not; we will retain an M rating maximum.
2. Members who hold important positions and who are not online for a week or more, without letting the Administrators know will lose their status. This applies to Moderators as well.
3. Actions performed by the Moderators can be argued with the Administrators.
4. There must be no rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or flaming attacks to Administrators or any other member of the staff.
5. Multiple, repeated postings (except in the chat, although noflood will attack you if you do) are not allowed and will be deleted.
6. A Member's avatar should represent the character they're playing.

In-Game Rules:

1. A person's character must act exactly like he/she described him/her/it when they submitted the profile. For example if you said your character was emo, you cannot make him run around happily. Or if he is a optimist, you can't make him kill himself. This rule can be ignored if your character has changed through character development done IN CHARACTER.
2. You cannot just kill another character just like that, be detailed - phrases like "I came and stabbed him in the head" or "I dodged." will be ignored and deleted.
3. You cannot describe other character's actions, that is called bunnying and it is yet one of the forms of God Mod. The only exception to this rule is the situation from Rule 4, which is right below.
4. If a member hasn't been on the forum for 2 days, it's allowed that you describe his/hers character's minor actions. Example: Traveling with a group of characters he/she is with, also you're allowed to control his actions in battle if he/she isn't available. Meaning, when two days expire for your opponent to post his response to your attack, you can connect your attack on your opponent.
5. Don't create superheroes, it's going to be boring to play (Everyone can do it so why?).
6. You cannot do 100 actions at the same time in one post.
7. Play logically - If your character can't make another one of him/her, he/she cannot be in two places at the same time. In other words, no posting in multiple topics.
8. Be patient. Not everyone can sit on the computer all day - wait for other characters to reply.
9. If you're going to be absent more then 2 days, you should write it in the Absence topic or report to administration, and preferably act out your character's disappearance.
10. Characters found and ruled inactive can not be re-registered/re-activated for continued play as that Character. You will simply have to design a completely new character. If the previous inactive character was an Elite, you can not register your new character as such.

Post Rules:

1. Your messages must be at least 100 words or more. One liners will not be tolerated.
2. You can only write in third person's side of view, without using the asterics(**).
3. Your message should contain actions, thoughts and speech of your character
Your character's thoughts are to be written in italics.
"Speech and dialogs are to be written in bold and encased in quotation marks.
4. You must always write where you came from and what topic you're going to in exits and entries.
5. Failure to keep up with the post word count minimum will allow the staff to edit your posts to fit the minimum. Do not feel bad if your character is found kissing a guy, and is a guy. Due to your own lack of following the rules.

Suicides:

I shouldn't have to even speak abou this. It is morally wrong.
Don't do it.
They are not allowed. Performing a suicide will get you severely punished. Like this:
The right of having an Alter Account will be taken from you for like 2 months. During that period you will have to stick only to your main character.
All of your stuff, and your drachma which you have will be taken from your main account and the alter ones too.
Your new character will have to start out as low as possible.
There can be no more character "disappearances". This has been deemed loophole to the suicide rules and thus will be treated as a suicide, where the member will face consequences for suicides as they are written.

Exiting A Topic Rules:

There are occasions where a Role Player feels the need to exit a current topic, for one reason or another. However, we've taken into consideration that opting from one topic to another might not always be a smooth transition. There are numerous factors that one should consider, and that is interruption, via another Role Player. In regards to situations like these, there are certain guidelines that need to be followed. Please see below for this simple guideline.

A Role Player may prevent another Role Player from exiting a topic, by making their presence known. This could be done by finding some clever way to block the fleeing Role Player’s path. Whether it be via an attack, or performing certain actions, which will undoubtedly see them remain in the topic. However, the Role Player wanting to exit may freely do so, without proper interruption. If the topic that they choose to exit has had a final “Exit” post for 2 hours or more a day. After this time, then the “Exit” post of the Role Player becomes valid. However, if the Role Player that exited that topic didn't post in a new topic after this time, then one may intervene and prevent their exit. Please note that all "Exit" interruptions needs to be logical.

A Role Player may not exit a topic, if their actions in the final post of that topic, can be used to called a hit against someone. This exit will be deemed as invalid if those instances.
