So, as we all know, some people on the Internet are jackasses. To help us determine which of our members are jackasses, we have some helpful little guidelines. To avoid being a jackass, just follow these little rules:
So, just do me these small favors and you will not be labeled (and I will literally label you) as a jackass.
- No godmodding. That means that you can't control someone else's character. Don't make them take actions, don't put words in their mouths, etc. You can control generic NPCs but not important NPCs or other characters (unless you have their permission; for NPCs, you must have permission from an admin or mod).
- No metagaming. This means using outside knowledge and applying it in the game. I also use this to mean that don't treat this like a game. I've seen many instances where people take risks that no one would take in real life because they know other characters aren't allowed to kill them. Well, guess what: if I think you're doing this (also see Poking the Bear), I will give the provoked character permission to kill yours. You will not necessarily be informed of this ahead of time.
- A post must be at least 1 decent-sized paragraph. Anything shorter is hard to play off of. Exceptions can be made, and usually will be, but don't abuse this.
- You may play up to 5 characters, no more than 2 of which may be canon characters. If you claim a canon character and are inactive for an amount of time that I consider to be inconvenient (probably about a week or so for important canons), I will allow others to godmod your canons if they need to. If you're inactive for an obscene amount of time and someone else wants to play your canon, I'll probably give it to them.
- This site is rated M for language and violence and general weirdness. I'm not going to require that you be 18+ to RP here. I know plenty of 18+ who are completely immature and plenty of -18 year olds who are. The M stands for mature; so as long as you're being mature, we won't have any problems.
- I love sex. In the words of my priest, "Sex is terrific." But we're not here to read a porno novel. Your characters can have sex, but it must be implied. No description beyond the second base line.
- For your own safety: Don't poke the bear. That means DO NOT PROVOKE me or other members (but especially not me).
- Once your character has been accepted, you MUST have a link to that character's profile in your sig. If you do not know how to put the link in, PM me and I'll either tell you or do it for you.
- These rules may be subject to change without any warning on my part. Although I'll try to let everyone know, I am under no obligation to do so. It is your responsibility to keep up to date about them.
- Violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of my imagination. And I assure you, I'm pure evil. I'm so evil that I can only describe myself with this: }>. Just don't piss me off and we'll all have a good time.
So, just do me these small favors and you will not be labeled (and I will literally label you) as a jackass.
