Tammi, from RPG-D, wrote these rules!
- This forum is rated PG-13. Keep things tasteful and classy. If you have a sex thread, fade to black. If you’re uncertain what classifies as PG-13, please check the MPAA Rating.
- These rules may change as the site changes. All rules are implemented in the best interest of the members!
- If you ever have any questions, just ask! I don't bite. Too hard.
REGiSTRATiON AND APPLiCATION
- Register with whatever name you'd like, because this is not a one-character-per-account site.
- There is no character limit. You may have as many as you like as long as you meet the activity requirement (below).
- Be diverse. If you are planning on making an additional character, consider branching out. Try roleplaying a character that is a different gender, age, ethnicity, or has a different heritage, sexual orientation than you would normally choose.
iN CHARACTER
- Keep IC and OOC relations separate. Just because a character is rude and obnoxious, it does not mean the player is as well!
- No drama. We are here to roleplay and enjoy ourselves. Remember: it’s a game and everyone is here out of their love for writing!
POSTiNG
- No godmoding, powerplaying, or dishonest conduct. Give your partner the chance to respond to your posts appropriately.
- We do not YET have a word count, however please reciprocate with your partner. Match their quality, not quantity! They will appreciate it.
- No size zero fonts. This is a writing site; we cannot make proper replies if we cannot read your post!
- Do not harass members to reply to your thread. It’ll make them even less inclined to reply!
- Use a spell-checker. You can use a word processor with a spell-checker, an online tool or download a dictionary for your browser. Firefox and Google Chrome have a spell-checker built in to the browser.
- Use proper grammar. Understand the differences between your and you’re and try to avoid using contractions, for example. Try to challenge yourself to improve your grammar; you’ll be glad you did!
- If a stallion wishes to steal an equine from another herd, they must post in the appropriate board. The steal will stay open for three days, and if at the end of that time the lead has not guessed correctly, the stolen horse is to be immediately transferred into the new herd.
- Royal Lands cannot be challenged for, though that is the only limit. Other lands can be challenged for, and fights will be taken into the Tangled Thicket. A staff will judge the fight fairly, and there will be no arguing with the results.
- You can only have one Royal King or Queen, and the lead of one other land. No further questions.
OUT OF CHARACTER
- Treat everyone with respect. Even if you dislike someone, you can still be polite.
- Talk to the Staff. If you have a problem with a rule, another member, a thread, or how an event is progressing, please contact an Administrator. The Staff Team is here to help!
GRAPHiCS
- Graphics are optional; if you don’t want a signature or avatar, you do not need one.
- All sources are acceptable. Please remember to credit the photographer if you use stock!
- Avatars are a max of 200x150 in size, but smaller sizes are fine, too!
- Signatures and tables/ post templates should not stretch the skin.
- No offensive or hateful material. Avatars, signatures and tables/ post templates should not contain anything that is vulgar or disrespectful of other people’s beliefs.
- Give credit where it is due. If a photo is released under a Creative Commons license requiring you to credit the author, please do so! Not only is it respectful, it’s also the law.
ACTiViTY
- Make a minimum of one post every two weeks. If you do not, your account will be at risk for deletion or removal from the active characters list.
- Post in the Absences Board if you are going away! Also, please let us know if you are experiencing anything that will hinder your ability to post, such as internet problems. We don’t want to delete you by accident!
