1 . use "( [" for OOC, it gets annoying when you can't tell whats part of a post and whats not.
2 . no godmodding. now i know its kinda hard not to let your imagination run wild when thinking of an rp character or having them perform actions but lets keep it reasonable ok? (sorry naruto reference) I don't wanna see an academy student beating the crap out of a kage or something like that.
3 . no auto-hitting. now in the forum its been fine to auto hit people but in an actual rp it gets really annoying. heres an example. -ryan hits ben in the head with a rock- now this is how it should be *ryan attempts to hit ben in the head with a rock* now sure its not the same but we have to allow others time to react or else its gonna get old fast. now just because its an attempt doesn't mean "ben" should be a b***h and always evade.... its stupid when someone abuses the system and just auto-evades....
4 . don't use * or - for actions. now i know i used it in the last example but i don't want it used in actual roleplay. please type out your actions as if writing a book. (ex. richard walked slowly through the moonlit meadow, gazing upon the flowers as he thought about his love back home.)
5 . use " for talking and italics for thought. it makes it easier to distinguish the two.
6 . don't read others posts and then use that knowledge to benefit your character. (ex. say rick is a member of a secret group and they met on monday. I don't want mike to out of the blue say "hey rick how was your special meeting last monday?" if mike isn't supposed to know anything about such things. the only exception is for people who have characters that are spies and actually posted that they were there and had a good explanation on how they went unnoticed.
7 . no flaming. if you have a problem with another user tell either me or oreo and we will try to make things right. if you are arguing with me or oreo then another member shall mediate.
8 . post in third person. its kinda stupid but it makes for a better experience in my opinion.
9 . read other peoples posts. i know it can be tiring but its your own responsibility to keep yourself informed on the story. (i will try to post an update section to keep things known but i'm only human so give me a break)
10 . please don't page stretch with the quoting. i know it makes it easier to tell who your talking to but if its done excessivly it is very annoying.
11 . please use correct spelling and try to use the right words (ex. to, too, two)
12 . try to keep your posts under control. keep cursing down but i understand if your character cusses on occasion. keep it PG-15 (dunno just didn't wanna use 13) if your gonna do more than kiss, please just do a timeskip.
13 . don't power play. (ask me if you don't know what that is and i'll explain.)
14 . In the event that a post is unreadable, it shall be editted by a mod. Do not take this negatively, we just want things to go smoothly.
15 . If your current username does not match with the username on your profile please update it.
16 . please post your username as proof that you have read and understood the rules.
now thats all i can think of for now but if i have to i'll add some more twisted
