Standard Rules and Roleplay Rules

[Master Empress]

It would be thoughtful, smart, and wise of you to thoroughly read these rules and follow them. Any ignorance to these rules will not be tolerated in any way.

• Please have only ONE account for this place. Multiple accounts is not necessary, and you will be asked to either remove the extras, or you will be removed from our forums.
  
  
• Simply respect other people. People like it if you are nice and helpful instead of bothersome and ignorant. Please show respect to everyone, even if they grind your gears. If you have a serious problem with any other members, please let the staff know so that they may handle it appropriately. Don't draw drama, okay?
  
  
• Don't god-mode! God-moding, power playing, invincibility, or powers that do not have a fair limit will not be tolerated. You cannot control another players characters without their permission. If anyone is caught doing any of these things, they will be swiftly and appropriately punished.
  
  
• You don't have to wait for your character to be accepted in order to roleplay, however if you are asked by a staff member to change your character in any way, please don't make a fuss, just fix what the staff member mentions. If you see no reason to have that character changed, bring it up to a staff member, and have them discuss it. Some things will have no exceptions, so you’d have to deal with it.
  
  
• No high ranking characters such as rulers or anything of that nature will be tolerated. You may be part of a bloodline, but in all likeliness, it's not going to matter in this world. You will be treated for who you are, not what you are or were. In the event that you will have a large group of characters backing your character, please get it clarified with the staff first.
  
  
• This forum is meant for intermediate to advanced roleplayers only, this means we require you to post at least one or two paragraphs, minimum. One lining will not be allowed, so anyone that only posts one line will quickly be asked to write a thicker, more detailed post.
  
  
• Cursing and the like is allowed, but only to an extent. Please do not go overboard. If we feel you are getting out of hand, you will be warned or timed out of the forum for a period of time.
  
  
• This site is PG-13! Sexual situations and relationships are to be kept site and forum friendly. Descriptive breeding or sex will not be tolerated and must be kept out of the forums. Violence however is allowed and sometimes encouraged, so long as it is kept in the roleplaying environment. While violence is acceptable while roleplaying, it is not acceptable towards a member and we ask that you refrain from highly graphic, disgusting descriptions.
  
  
• When posting in a roleplay topic, please keep OOC (Out of Character) chatter to a minimum. If you need to speak OOC for any reason, please keep your OOC to brackets to prevent confusion between OOC chatter and roleplay.
  
  
• Please refrain from spamming or advertising anywhere in the forums. Posting irrelevant and unnecessary items in threads where they do not belong will not be tolerated. If you wish to advertise, please keep it to the "Advertisements" board. It is there for a reason.
