General Rules
Character Rules
In Character Rules
• If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. We [the staff] don't bite[/size]hardand we don't mind answering questions. If you want to be absolutely positive, just ask me, Midnight, or one of the other staff..
• Respect is a must. Remember the golden rule: do unto others are you would want them to do unto you. Or treat people the way you want to be treated. Be kind, please. Besides, no one likes annoying and rude people. They're just not fun to be around.
• Listen to the staff. We are here for a reason. And especially listen to Midnight. She is master. What we say goes. Don't forget that.
• One character on each account keeps things nice and neat. Characters are placed into groups based on their race so it keeps things pretty.
• Avatars and signatures are to be of your character and your character only. Also, make sure they don't stretch the page. Stretch marks aren't the prettiest things in the world.
• No spamming. It's annoying and hard to clean up. Plus, it clogs the system and is a waste of time. Clogging is icky and we don't like icky things.
• Keep txt language to a minimum. Please. No one looks intelligent when they use it. U is not a word. It's a letter. Okay? And don't even think about using it in an in character post. Also, remember: spell check can be your friend. Don't be afraid to use it, either, okay?
• Stealing is illegal on Earth and here as well. Everyone else put a lot of effort into their things so don't steal them.
• Have fun. Does this even need an explanation?
Character Rules
• Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus are not allowed. For one thing there is no way a person can be perfect, and even if your character is a citizen of the New Order or even an official, they are still going to have imperfections.[/size]
• If we say something is wrong with your character, chances are, something is wrong. Don't argue. If whatever we say is wrong is a must speak with Midnight. If I say it's wrong and cannot be negotiated, then it is.
• Creating a character and then pulling a disappearing act isn't cool. However, we will save your character application for you just in case you do reappear.
• Your display name should be changed to your character's first and last name in ALL CAPS. No exceptions.
• Detail is nice when it comes to the application. Please try and give as much information as you can. If we find that there isn't enough, we will ask you to write more. This is your baby you're creating; love it.
In Character Rules
• There isn't a word limit. But detail is amazing when it comes to posts. It's not the quantity that counts, quality does. Just don't drop one-liners all over the place. Seriously. A little effort would be nice.[/size]
• Remain in character, please. Unless it's just a tiny, added note, there are other places you can post out of character.
• Grammar is nice. We know that not everyone is perfect and surely there are people on different levels here but please try and keep to the basic grammar rules.
• DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS. Doesn't that look mean and rawry? It's annoying and it looks like you're yelling at us. Guess what? WE YELL BACK. So, please, just don't do it.
• M-rated things are allowed but don't break proboards TOS. Try not to get too explicit, okay? We may have innocent little children wondering around here. If you do post something that is a little risque, make sure to warn others by labeling the thread [m].
• God-modding and power-playing is illegal. Yes, death is enabled and killing is okay but you cannot kill someone else's character without their permission. Not to mention that this is just rude, annoying, and stupid. No one likes it.
