1. Be nice! Sure, we can poke fun at each other, but anyone being a straight-up douche-bag will most likely be deleted out of popular demand, than anything else.
2. Don't make any new Roleplay, rules, or character boards or threads without the consent of either Wolfy or Mystic, or just a general nod of approval from the whole group. Feel free to make polls and general Out of Character threads as much as you want, though.
3. If you have a problem with someone else in the RP, try to keep the issue within Private Messages to others. Remember, ANYONE can read ANYTHING written in the Chat thread. If there is something going on that you JUST CANNOT STAND, Private Message Wolfy or Mystic.
Have an issue with any of these rules, or want to add more? Just contact Wolfy or Mystic through whichever means seem the most appropriate. ;D

1. For now, we have decided on a three-character-limit per person. This may change, but for now, that's in place.
2. Only make characters under your Personal Board!!! You can put your character information wherever you like so long as it is under your Personal Board.
3. If you're going to make a character, run it by some other people. You should have some sort of plan of what you would like to do with this character. Don't just make them up and then leave them to collect dust.
4. Don't mess with other people's characters without their permission! See above: Rules Regarding Out of Character Behavior, the general douche-baggery clause. It's not cool.
5. Keep the characters realistic. The more information the better, so long as it isn't too crazy or unorganized. Some type of background is necessary, along with personality, looks, and skills. A picture would be nice, but it isn't necessary. Also, refrain from making Mary Sue's. Don't know what a Mary Sue is? Well, neither does Wolfy, so ask Mystic if you have any questions about that.
Again, if you have an issue with any of these rules, of if you would like to add a rule, contact Wolfy or Mystic.

1. We consider ourselves rated PG-13, so keep that in mind if you have an idea but you're not sure if it's appropriate or not.
2. We prohibit describing sex. Not that it can't happen for story purposes, but it's gotta happen off-set. There are minors here, after all.
3. We ALSO prohibit EXTREMELY graphic violence. You can have your character stab someone and have blood go everywhere, but don't describe in excruciating detail the feel of someone's organs as your character tears them out slowly from someone. There will be action, but some stuff is just gross.
4. Here are our guidelines for language, recycled from The Days of Olde:
Prepare for a vulgar post! It lists ALL the words.
Tier 4 language has been approved, so long as it's used ONLY in very fitting situations. Don't use it in every post, please! And no slurs, including racial AND gay slurs, and the word "retard". The word "cum" and related words shouldn't be used either. The lower tiered words are approved, and can be used more frequently than the tier 4 ones.
The Tiers: Tier 1 (Holy cow! Oh my gosh! This stinks!) Tier 2 (Holy crap! This sucks! Oh my God! Friggin, Pissed) Tier 3 (Ass, hell, damn, SOB, WTF, eff, douche, prick, bastard, whore) Tier 4 (Shit, fuck, cunt, cock, dick, bitch, pussy)
If you have an issue with any of these rules, just contact Wolfy or Mystic~

1. Sure, your character can have a strong or quirky personality, but if for some reason your character actually hinders the progression of the story, you'll have to do something about it. Examples: -Your character tries to pick a fight with someone else in EVERY OTHER POST. Keep fighting with other characters to a minimum, and make sure the other person is okay with it first. -Your character is so stubborn that everyone else has to take several posts just to convince them to do anything. -Your character is just such a bumbling idiot that everyone else has to constantly stop to fix his or her mistakes.
If you have a problem with this particular rule, contact me or Mystic.

1. We will establish an official turn order that will always be followed and will be posted somewhere convenient. If not everyone is here for a particular RP session, we'll just skip them and the turn order will proceed as normal.
2. Since it's unlikely that we'll always all be here at the same time, you can post anytime it is your turn, regardless of who else is here. If it has been your turn for twenty-four hours and you haven't posted without giving us a reason, you will be skipped.
3. If many people are here at once, and are all RP'ing at once, the twenty-four hour rule changes to a fifteen minute rule. Your turn will be skipped if you haven't posted for fifteen minutes since your turn started without an explanation. If you need to step away for a moment, then we'll wait for you.
4. Familiarize yourself with the Call-Response Gambit, which is posted under the Rules board. It's a useful device and hopefully we can all utilize it well.
Got an issue? Contact Wolfy or Mystic~ You know the bit.
