NO POWER PLAYING OR GODMODDING
- This means that you MAY NOT move, talk for, injure, maim or kill another player's character without the expressed permission of that player and a Staff Member. Depending on your mental prowess, you can hear private thoughts. However, just because someone is thinking something in a post with you, it doesn't mean you ALWAYS know about it. Likewise, any information about a character that is in their profile or a post that is not directly verbalized to you, assume that you don't know it.
NO FLAMING
[/li][li]This means that there will be no slating or bad mouthing any other players IC or OOC. If you have a problem with another player, please contact one of the Mods and we will do our best to resolve the issue in an adult manner. Any players consistently disrespecting others will be banned.[/blockquote]Out Of Character
[/li][li] All OOC posting must now be done on the OOC board. OOC posts WILL NOT be accepted in the the ROLEPLAYING BOARDS from now on.[/blockquote]Identcards
[/li][li]No player is allowed to make their character invincible. We all like to be powerful but no one is God-like; they all have their weaknesses. Please check out the Establishing Character section to find the Assests and Complications. If you need help, ask.[/li][li]All characters must have a identcard. This includes a description of what they look like, an outline of their personality and a bit of background or history. There is a identcard template here.
[/li][li] All characters must be represented by different models and have different names. If you use a celebrity, you must claim him/her for your character, be the character a real person or from an anime.
[/li][li]Your character can be part of Lucius' crew or a passenger of his ship, but just because you want it, doesn't mean you'll get it. You can also try out for your own ship or be part of another crew, again, this doesn't mean you'll get it. And remember, being a passenger on any ship, meaning not part of the crew, costs credits!
[/li][li]Change your display name to your character name once you have posted your identcard.
[/li][li]ONLY ONE CHARACTER per account. And two accounts per ip address. If I see members with the same ip address I will ban that ip address unless you have a good enough reason, and I know of certain possible reasons why two accounts may have the same ip address.
[/li][li] NO MARY SUE Characters. Your character should not be MARY SUE. Here is an explanation of what a Mary Sue is and all the different forms of a Mary sue.
Mary Sue[/blockquote]
POSTING
[/li][li] NO double posting[/li][li]EVERY Character is limited to 3 threads, given you can keep up with the time line in an orderly fashion.
[/li][li]No one-liners! Give your posts a bit of substance. ALL posts should be a minimum of two paragraphs [that’s about 4 - 6 sentences]. The more detail you give, the more realistic the game is and the more you give for others to work with.
[/li][li] When posting, please write in the third person, past tense: e.g. she said, Susan asked, Erik replied. Not in the first person, e.g. I said, I asked, I walked etc. Also, no net-speak. Proper grammar and spelling is required.
[/li][li] Just so that posts are easier to read, use the following as a guide for your writings:
For speech – use “text bolded “
For private thoughts – use 'text italic'
For telepathic conversations – use italics bold[/i]
For dreams or flashbacks – Should be blockquoted and italics
Like this
[/li][li]Also, please do not repost the entire post that you are replying to. If there are parts of the previous post that you must reiterate or include in your post, just cut and paste the bits you need and insert them at the relevant part in your post. Using
[/li][li]All posts must have their own title line and tag. This should outline briefly where your character is and who may join or specifically who it is for. Seperate it with a bar and then put a bbrief explanation and the age group
Handbook|Guidelines you must follow} Open >All Ages<
[/li][li]Please be aware that players may have spent time devising a plot and random characters may throw a huge spanner in the works. It is common courtesy to ask one of the players before you jump in, that way, you'll be up to speed with the plot.
[/li][li]When posting do not post in center. Either post as is or blockquoted.[/blockquote]
COURTESY
[/li][li]Now this is an up to Rated M site. Because we will go only up to rated M. However there will not be any plain out XXX stuff or smut. So be advised. If it is found, you will be banned. Everyone involved in the thread will be on probation until further noticed by the Head Storyteller.[/li][li]Respect each other and treat others the way you wish to be treated. I know I cannot say No Homophobias or racists, because everyone is different. But if you have a problem DO NOT let in interfere with roleplaying.
[/li][li]PLOT. Every Character MUST have a character plot. This can be kept track in the boards specified for it. Ledger.
[/li][li]Please be advised that there will be more rules added if we see trouble, and they will get more descriptive. We might even hint at examples. So try to be nice.
[/li][li]Graphics. graphics make the site looks nice and it gives pride to your character. Avatars are a must! as it allows visuals. Signatures (restricted to 500x200) however you must either make yourself or buy from someone, requesting one made specifically or even offering to make signatures. However. In order to do so, you must have a Shop keeper to assist you in this. It allows you to gain Credits to buy other things. You may also sell other codes and graphics on here, but with consent from the Head Storyteller.[/blockquote][/li][/ul]
