These are the basic rules, stuff you should already know. In any case, here they are. Just read and follow them all.
Basic Basic Rules
-Don't be rude, kids. *waggles finger at you* It's something you learned either before or in kindgergarten, and I shouldn't have to repeat it. Use common sense.
-Graphic images are no-nos.
-Please only use 'kind' swearing, and keep it ic//. Words that go under the title of 'kind' are: bloody hell, crap, etc. Just light ones instead of the 'b'- and 'f'-words, and those kinds of phrases. Again, keep this in character, and don't swear to each other ooc//. That isn't nice.
Basic In Character Rules
-No power-playing or god-modding. If you are unsure of the meaning of these terms, post in the 'Let Us Know' forum.
-Translation
OOC means, 'Out of Character'.
IC means, 'In Character'.
You cannot talk ooc in an ic forum, unless it is just a quick something in your psot, clearly marked as ooc. If you want to chat to people, there is a little something called the 'Ooc Discussion' forum. Talk all you want there.
-Characters cannot read minds. If another character is thinking something, your cvharacter might gfuess what they are thinking, but they don't know.
-In an ic post, put what your character is thinking in italics. If they are saying something aloud, put it in bold or color or both. Just make sure people can read it. You can put posts in different fonts, like Times New Roman, or Bookman Old Style. Just make sure that it isn't too small, too big, or un-readable in any way. You can also use tables.
-There is a handy little 'edit' button that allows you to edit posts. Ic, if you want to leave a topic and have gotten no reply yet, edit your first post instead of writing an entire new one. Also, if your character is leaving, please post something like:
-Cookie has left the area-
It would also be nice if you stated where she went.
-We role-play in third person.
Correct Example: Cookie trudged through the snow, sniffing the cold air as she went.
Incorrect Example 1: Cookie trudges through the snow, sniffing the cold air as she goes.
Incorrect Example 2: I trudged through the snow, sniffing the cold air as I went.
-Posts need to be at least two paragraphs, ten thorough sentences. The sentence, 'Cookie sniffed the air' does not count as an entire sentence.
Okay, those are the basic, basic rules. ^^ Others, such as character-, breeding-, and fighting-related can all be found in the proper forums. For instance, the character rules are in the 'Character' forum, along with the character application. M'kay? M'kay.
