These are the rules that I expect to be followed. If you have any questions or complaints about one of the rules, pm me and we'll deal it out, 'kay?

- Be friendly. If you have a problem with another member, don't argue with them. Don't curse them out, okay? There's no need to be disrespectful. If you have something mean, ignorant, etc. to say, just don't say it. I'm not asking for you guys to be best friends forever world, I'm asking for you guys to at least be civil with each other through our RPG experiences. Don't harass other members. Joke around, mess with each other, just don't let it get to out of hand.
- Be respectful to the staff (and other members) please. They are only here to help you and me run the forums, so just do what you're told and you'll most likely be more liked by us and others more. If at anytime a staff member treats your unfairly or makes you feel uncomfortable, let me know ASAP so that I can take care of the situation promptly. Also to the staff, be nice to the members. They're people too.
- Absolutely no racism, sexism, etc. If I find any of that coming from you, don't be surprised if I go down hard on you. Again, the rules above correspond with this one.
- No excessive cursing/swearing on the forums. I do allow vulgarities in its forms, but if I find that it's all you live for, don't be surprised when you receive some form of admonishment.
- No advertising anywhere other than the board designated for advertising and affiliating. It's okay to have a link to your name on the cbox, but don't attract any attention to it. I don't want to hear complaints from another member about somebody who just happens to advertise their site over pm. Chances are, the others probably won't really give a d**n anyhow.
- 3 characters per account. If you want more characters, make another account. Be able to handle the bumbers though, as in keep them all as active as possible.
- I'm not asking for you guys to sign in every day and post as much as possible, but I'd request that you guys make at least 2 or 3 visits/posts a week to show some activity. If you won't be able to be active for a certain period of time, let us know so we don't include you in with the inactives.

- Regarding post length, I will not accept anything below a paragraph long in any part of the RP boards. It isn't requiring much to ask for a minimum 4 sentences, as there are plenty of things to write about such as taking notes on the character's thoughts and actions.
- Proper spelling and grammar is expected from all members. Grammar isn't as much of a charge to you for breaking it, but there is a spell check button, and so that doesn't leave exactly as many excuses for spelling errors. I won't punish you for things like this. If another member doesn't understand you, it's your problem to fix.
- Godmodding and metagaming are not allowed here, or anywhere else for that matter. What these mean is moving someone’s character or causing them to do something without the other person’s consent.
- Don't make any RP posts until your character has been approved. Enough said.
- The proper format required from this RPG is writing PAST TENSE in THIRD person, not first person in present tense, kay? That way, we'll all be riding on the same boat.
- Sexual themes, violence, drugs, and such are allowed, but if you happen to want to do a thread involving something like those, please label the thread somehow to tell us in the subject title that it has mature themes. That way people who don't wanna see it can avoid it at their will.
