1)Don’t be a dick. Most of us are adults here, please try and act like one. Goofing around is fine in the c-box or in threads but once it’s getting offensive towards one person you will receive a warning via PM. The PM will let you know that such behavior is looked down upon however you will not receive a penalty in the punishment system.
2)Don’t pester admins to post. Outside of the site we do have lives; jobs, friends, and family not to mention sleep is nice. We are aware of our posts and should get back to them within three days’ time, maybe sooner if time schedules permanent. If however the three day limit does pass feel free to PM us; we are human, we forget and get side tracked.
3)Limit two solos per week. A cap is placed so players cannot spam small threads for little Exp that stacks up to a lot. Players will not receive any warnings of breaking this rule unless they constantly continue to do it, however the extra threads will not be graded until the following week.
4)No racial slurs or racial jokes. Since this is a proboards site we do not wish to get shut down. One warning will be given by an admin via PM, afterwards a ban can be placed for a day, then a permanent ban if the act is repeated. Jokes are one thing but please keep it socially acceptable. If you must tell a racial joke of the worst kind send it to your buddy in Skype or a PM.
5)No god modding. We want this site to be fun for all, and god modders make it difficult to do such a thing. This can be hard to manage when Rping in a free style type Rp site so we will be lenient on God Modding. A PM will be sent out to let you know to change the post in which the GM happened with a reminder that it is not ok to GM. If the player continues to do so they will start receiving warnings till a ban.
6)As a new site things are due to change such a places, items, skills, and other things. Please do not complain about random changes through the life of the site, we do apologize now if it does upset you in the future but we will do our best to accommodate everyone’s needs. If you do wish to discuss a change feel free to make a topic about it and discuss with others. If enough support is gained or a good idea of how to make the issue resolved is brought up the admins will discuss it.
7)The site is somewhere between Pg-13 and R so just keep any sex scenes out and if there is any nudity in your threads please keep description light.
8)No cheating of any sorts, if you think it might be considered cheating, ask or don't do it.
9)Swearing is fine, just don’t direct harshly towards others. Example. Fuck you Dan, is fine. However "Fuck you Dan I'm going to go to your house and ram broken shards of a beer bottle into your neck" that is not fine. There is nothing funny about that, beer costs money, no need to waste it... oh and stabbing Dan is bad too. For real though, feel free to hang out and be friends in the cbox but don't go crazy on someones ass. On top of a warning you will be banned from the cbox for one day.
10) Characters. If you want to play more than one character that is fine, feel free to make another in fact I implore you to. If you make more than one character please inform the staff, the reason behind this is in rule 11.
11) Faction rule. This rule is a little more complex than the rest but not hard to follow. Players cannot have characters of the opposite factions in a major plot threads against the other. This is to keep one side from having an unfair advantage in the form of information against the other side or being defeated on purpose to aid the side you really want to win. If it is discovered that you have been playing two different factions in a plot thread you will be banned, this is the first and final warning you will have for this rule. This also applies to bounties.
12) Plagiarism. Everyone should know this one but if not I'll go over it. Taking someone elses work and passing it off as your own. If it is discovered that a person is stealing another persons work we will look into the matter and see if there is any validity to it. If the work is stolen the one who did it will be banned permanently.
13ish) This one isn't so much as a rule as just something I need to say. We are more than willing to direct members if they have questions, need help with writing skills, and even RP with you, however we will not baby you, we will not put your character into a place of power, or give them any special attention. Craft your character and take those points of power around the world; amass armies through coin or strength, become a warrior of true legend. We as admins are here to watch over and help direct players of where to go and what to do, correct imbalances and add new content. We would love to be your friends and create stories together but we will not hold your hand through the whole process. Again, most people here are adults, please try and act like one.
Warnings and punishment
The rules mentioned a few times about warnings of breaking such rules; this is a simple break down of how penalties work. Everyone starts with a clean state however after breaking any of the rules such as god modding, being a dick, racial slurs, and highly offensive materials will result with a warning in a PM from any of the admins. Once three points have been racked up the user will be banned from the site. Warnings will reset every six months. Some rule breaks are a instant ban, the only warnings to these are in the rules.
First warning- A warning will be sent out to the player, letting them know of their rule break.
Second warning- Similar to the first, but lets the player know they have one more strike.
Banning- The third and final strike for the player for breaking the rules. If however the rule breaking was something small the member might be able to join back up.
Short term ban (STB)- If members have been with the site for a while and earned three warnings they will be given a short term ban of 3 days from their account, afterwards they can come back but with no warnings left. This is only given to loyal members. After six months this will be dropped down to having one warning, which will stick around till the next six months roll around.
Unless a ban is a STB, it is permanent, final say right here. We hate to turn people away but if you cannot follow the rules you are not welcomed.
Those are our rules, pretty easy to follow.
By now you have read all the rules and understand what we expect of people that RP here, being so, you know the rules, please follow them.
