RULES
*Rules are subject to changes and additions as needed*
General
-Discrimination is not tolerated.
-Do not harass, threaten, or insult others.
-No plagiarism. It's no fun for anybody.
-Please respect the staff. Decisions made by the staff are to go undisputed. Only an administrator can overrule a moderator or a global moderator. If a staff member abuses their power, report the incident to an administrator.
-One would hope that we're a mature group of people, so profanity and graphic descriptions are okay, but there's a line somewhere in there. Just try not to cross it.
Roleplaying
-Members may have a maximum of five characters at any given time.
-Your character's attributes, age, and occupation should be kept realistic and match the time period.
-After applying for a character, please wait until it is accepted by a staff member before roleplaying with it.
Posting
-Do not use chatspeak on the boards. Using it on the Cbox is fine.
-Please do your best to avoid errors in your posts. There is a pop-up spelling checker on the forum. Use it.
-There isn't a minimum text requirement in posts, but try to keep it at around a paragraph, at least, just so your fellow roleplayers have something substantial to respond to.
-Do not join a thread with more than ten posts unless you have permission. This would disrupt a story that has already been developed.
-Powerplaying and godmoding are not permitted. Powerplaying involves anticipating another character's actions before they post. This includes forced movements, expressions, and dialogue. Godmoding is making your character invulnerable, possessing or inflicting damage beyond what is humanly possible. Essentially it is creating a perfect character. (This can be very tempting in a universe such as this where many people are very powerful, but there are limits and they will be enforced.)
-Each of your characters can be in multiple threads at the same time as long as you do not forget the details of each topic.
-When posting out-of-character, use a format similar to this: [OOC: your message here]
Death and Relationships
-Characters are allowed to get married and give birth.
-Please do not roleplay graphic scenes. If you wish to have a child, both the mother-to-be and the father-to-be need to PM an administrator. The profile of the child will be posted on the noticeboard a few weeks later.
-A character may die if the owner kills him or her, the owner agrees to let someone kill the character, or an administrator kills the character via random event (for breaking the rules).
-If you are unhappy with a particular thread or a relationship your character had, you are allowed to "sever" it. This means it never happened.
