The Rules.

Nobody likes 'em but we gotta have 'em. I'll just rattle off a short list of what is prohibited, and the punishments for doing them anyway. The section the infraction takes place in and the circumstances it takes place under will always be taken into account.

No excessive swearing. We will probably be more lenient about this in the roleplays, since some characters are a bit fowl-mouthed by nature.

No explicit sex scenes. Fun as they are, it is often sufficient for character development to simply imply that a sex scene has happened, rather than describe the event. I have a separate forum for that if you like, located here.

Please keep racism/sexism/etc to a minimum. I can't speak for our other admin but I myself, as a strong proponent of free speech, won't be going out of my way to moderate this stuff unless it gets out of hand. However, it should be kept to a minimum out of common courtesy to other members.

Keep discussion confined to the topic the section you are in is designated for. Off-topic discussions will be moved by admin.

No harassment or bullying. These are serious offenses and will be treated as such. If you are deemed guilty of harassment, you will be banned, your IP will be logged, and real-world authorities may be called in to act, IE v&.

An extension of the previous rule, no explicit threats of real-world harm. This means specifically stating that you intend to do harm to a person in real life. Simply saying "I'm going to beat you up" is not against the rules, because it does no harm and really just makes you look like a retard for fighting on the Internet. If however, you say "I'm going to find where you live and come beat you up", now that is an entirely different story. I'm sorry, but we'll have to hand your ass to you on that one.

Also, yo may freely promote other forums in the Links section, under the condition that you promote us on the other site as well.

You may post in this thread to suggest additional rules, though I tried to keep the list short for simplicity's sake, or to request the abolition or alteration of a rule. We'll consider all ideas.

To start a roleplay thread, first post your idea in a new thread in the Recruits section. Include an overview of the plot and any and all other key information, as well as the profiles of any pre-made characters you might have. Then, request profiles.

Wait for others to join by posting their character profiles, which you can accept or reject at your own discretion. When you have enough accepted profiles (how many is enough is up to you) post your story in the story threads.

You may also, if you choose to do so, post a designated OOC thread in Dressing room Drama to keep your thread from becoming cluttered with OOC discussion.
