General Rules

[Phrame]

Basic Rules

1. Please follow all of these rules accordingly. Any violations from the rules may be sanctioned by the Administrators or the moderators of this site.

2. Please, refrain from posting one liners. Ideal post should be in detail, with about one paragraphs minimum, with three sentences each. If you are in a hurry, tell those who are you're RPing with that you can't post now, and may post later so you could have more time. In a private topic, if both or all parties agree, one-liners will be allowed. However, all those who are in said private topic must agree to allowing one-liners in that topic only.

3. Solo threads are possible, but please keep a two minute delay within your posts. Sanction: 1st: Warning, 2nd: 3 Day Suspension, 3rd: A week of Suspension.

4. All applications which are pending for approval may not be used in your threads. You may test them out on OOC threads, but any In character related posts are not allowed. Sanction: 1st: Warning, 2nd: 3 Day Suspension, 3rd: Ban.

5. Mild cursing/swearing is allowed, but please refrain from making your posts into a curse-fest. There are people who rather not expose themselves to such exceeding actions. Sanction: 1st: Warning, 2nd: 2 Day Suspension, 3rd: Ban.

6. Racial discrimination is NOT allowed. Any form of sexual harassment or insulting is also discouraged. 1st: 3 day suspension, 2nd: 1 week suspension, 3rd: Ban.

7. Please avoid having flame wars in the Chat box, or on posts. Debates are fine, as long as no one gets hurt. Also, no political talk like "The Bush Administration was great!". Any kind of flaming, even on spam threads are not allowed. 1st: Warning, 2nd: 1 Week Suspension, 3rd: Ban.

8. No Godmodding. This includes your character never getting tired during a fight, controlling another character within your posts and having anything God-like related. Same Sanctions as above.

9. No Meta-Gaming. This means using information gained OOC being used IC.

10. Respect the Administrators and Moderators.

Other Rules

Do not post in dead topics at all, unless you are already in it and you plan to revive it and finish it. If no one is there anymore, do not post in it.

2. Please keep in mind that you can only be in five roleplay topics at a time. This rule has been made to avoid difficulties in the storyline and timeline. If you wish to enter another roleplay topic which would be your sixth, you must first leave one of your previous topics.

3. Follow the Posting Order of a topic. Unless someone has become inactive, you cannot post in the wrong order. For example: Person 1 posts, Person 2 posts, Person 3 posts. It should continue this way for the rest of the topic.

The reason for this rule is so it doesn't turn into this: Person 1 posts, Person 2 posts, Person 3 posts. Person 1 posts, Person 3 posts, Person 2 posts, Person 3 posts. This would make it unfair to Persons 1 & 2 because Person 3 is getting more actions.

4. Do not use unapproved weapons/items/etc in an active topic. If you get an item/weapon or anything else gained through approvals or buying, which means basically anything, you cannot use it until you go to a topic which has a topic start time of AFTER you got whatever it is. This goes along with the meta-gaming rule that restricts character information.

5. To use an item in a topic, you must have it: made, appraised, bought, have Ryo deducted, and finally, added to your locker. If it's not in your locker and you use it, you may either be disqualified in what you were doing, ignored, or even punished by a Mod/Admin.

6. Topic titles are not to be changed. This excludes from Open to Private since we won't know when certain things in RP will change. This also means that when a title says all of whom are to be in a topic, those are the only ones allowed. Despite the creator of the topic may want more people, this will not be allowed. Please keep this rule in mind, it is for the benefit of all and without it, the topic would contradict who's in it. After all, you wouldn't want someone barging in your private topic or anything like that.

7. Post your weapon either in a spoiler or code after your RP, with how much ammo of it you've used. This means at the bottom of your post. Some weapons, like grenades and swords, don't have ammo. You do not need to spoiler your swords, but when you use a grenade/flare, you spoiler it in the post you used this weapon in and how many of you have used and how many you have left.

8. Your user name must be the same as your characters first name. Alias's will not be accepted. This makes it easier for admins / mods to find applications belonging to specific users.
