Roleplaying Rules
Power playing
No "power playing." [Any form of cheating (automatic hits and controlling another player's character) is commonly referred to as ‘power playing.'"]
Godmoding
No godmoding. (Godmoding can occur when a character describes an event or a series of events he or she has taken against another character or interactive object, most often with the purpose of rescinding negative effects previously encountered or granting some other effect inconsistent with an innocent view of the narrative. Godmoding can also refer to the case where a player definitively describes the outcome of their own actions against another character or interactive object.)
Mary Sues
No Mary Sues/Gary Stus. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue)
Despies
No despies. (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=despie)
Third person, past tense
Posts must be in third person, past tense ONLY. Posts such as: "I look at her and smile" are unacceptable.
Grammar/Spelling
Proper grammar and spelling are a MUST. Mistakes are understandable, of course. No one is perfect and we understand that. We do, however, expect you to do your best.
Fighting
Fights between characters will happen in certain instances. This is allowed. However, in-character fights are give-and-take. You may not auto-hit another player, and keep in mind dodging all attacks is impossible. No one is invincible. Also, no killing other players. If you want to quit make sure the other people know and you may make a post that "kills" your character off.
Post length
We understand writers block, but if you are starting a thread please have at least 5 full sentences. At least 5 sentences are needed when replying.
Threads
When starting a new thread please put *On-going* in the title and *closed* when you are done with it so admin can know when to close it, without wading through long posts. If you are moving to another board to continue your roleplaying, at the end of your last post please say, "Moving to SOANDSO."
Double-posting
No double-posting. There is never any reason to post twice in a row, as posts can be easily modified.
Characters
You are permitted as many characters as you want, provided you post regularly with each character. Please, only one character per account. Even if your characters are twins or siblings, please register with separate accounts for them. You may only have one character who is a Junior Agent or above. All other characters must first complete basic training. You are also allowed to be teachers and/or members of the Ukwtakun.
(Note: Almost all agents are either orphans or runaways. The only exception to this is if an agent's parents are also agents. This is very rare, however, so keep that in mind when making your characters.)
Skills
No absolute or invulnerable skills. (i.e. Mimicking would be a horrible skill to have because then you would have more than 2 skills.) And please try to be somewhat original when thinking of skills.
One thread at a time
Your character can only be in one place at a time. Ths, you may only post in one thread at a time (per character).
OOC
OOC (Out Of Character) posts are to stay in the OOC board (unless accompanied by an IC post). Any OOC posts should be appropriately marked and kept on topic.
Asking someone to leave
Do not ask people to leave; moderators will do that if needed. If you have any complaints about a person, PM the Administrator.
Any questions or comments? Post them on the Questions & Suggestions board or PM the Administrator.
