Simple Begining Rules to Follow

As you know this is a RPG and as one it has to have its rules, just like every one. So, let me tell you the most important things, that you have to read and be aware of, before you begin your adventure in here. Here I go…

1. Language
This is one of the important and possibly most common rules for such games, but I still have to say it – cursing, swearing and any type of insulting are strictly forbidden. If you ignore this rule, there will be serious consequences. Let’s at least act like kind and polite people, even if we are not.
2. Spelling and Grammar
Please, check your spelling and grammar before posting whatever you’ve written. English words are not the easiest to spell, we know, but let’s try to make this game as easy to read as possible, ok?
3. Inappropriate things
We may be grown up people and all /I guess/, but let’s just keep in mind that there may be children playing between us and since nothing in the Internet space is certain, it would be proper to make sure not to put up pictures and any types of advertisements and links that lead to pornographic sites.
4. Avatars and Signatures
I’d like to make sure that everyone will follow this rule, because it personally annoys me when it is ignored – there are limits to the size of your icon and signature pictures. An icon can be maximum 150x150, and as for the signature – the maximum sizes allowed are 500x150.

I'd like to add e new rule to those listed above, so please, pay just a little attention.

5. A person can't relate for themselves.
This is a rule that most new RP players make, so let me tell you what exactly i mean by it. I'll give you an example:
The character X is send on a mission/given a task to do something. The topic is created and that person writes in it. The person X is usually supposed to start off just by looking around or something like that, as in the meantime a narrator says what his surroundings are and what possibilities for action that person has. The person can not say he found something /information, a person to talk to, an akuma, etc/. That is up for the narrator to decide. Also, when you are in a fight it is the narrator that says whether you dodge an attack or whether your attack is successful. it is not your place to decide that.

Thank you for you attention.

Or to explain in simple mortal words: A character does what he does and a narrator decides the consequences from his action. But if it were an RP between two character and they want to have a talk or something of the sort, a narrator is not needed. If it were a fight - his presence is obligatory as he must make sure that if two or more people fight with one another, they won't kill themselves (or if it does happen, to be in a normal battle to the end).

Due to a certain member's question it has come to our attention that we had missed two very important rules to write down in here.

6. A member can have only one character at a time.
Be a little realistic - you can't cut yourself in half and have two or more different lives and manage to keep track of all of them perfectly and with no problem. And not to mention if those two parts of you start fighting/RPing in any way with each other. That would be like talking/fighting yourself. A person can make another character only when and if his first one dies.

7. No double/triple, etc accounts.
This should be understandable enough - there's no use to be two people at once. If this rule is broken the member will be punished in a way that will be decided at the time and place and his accounts will be deleted until there is only one available. If the same person is caught in doing it twice, he will be banned.

Thank you for your attention.
