The Rules
- The Golden Rule, obviously; treat everyone with respect, regardless of personal feelings. If an admin receives complaints of behaviour or simply deem the conduct inappropriate in whatever form, a warning will be issued. If a second warning is issued due to the first being ignored or ‘forgotten’, proper punishment will be dealt, which may included being banned from where the disrespectful behaviour is taking place (either chatango box or the forum itself. If its the latter, then the offender in question will be removed from the site entirely). Its not that hard to treat your fellow players with kindness and respect; two admin-issued warnings and you’re out. This isn’t baseball.
- While there is no set age limit, we do prefer our members to be at least 16.. And no matter the age, to have the capability of being mature when its needed.
- Follow the TOS to the best of your abilities. We don’t want to be shut down, so try your best, everyone. We aren’t saying to be goody-goodies and play on a straight line. We’re saying, use common sense, you aren’t grade-school kids, are you?
- Where would we be without the grand structure? “Go help your Uncle Jack, off his horse,” is quite different from “Go help your uncle jack off his horse”. Spellcheck is your friend. No chat speak. Things like afk, or brb in the chatbox are okay. But none of it in the forum. This is a literate roleplay site, eh.
- We won't ask for a novel, but we want at least 200 hundred words per post, unless its a thread-game or something of the like.
- Banners must be no larger than 250 for height and 500 in length. There is to be no inappropriate content in icons and banners.
- Only TWO character until you get Twenty-five posts. Your max is three (or four, depending on what's decided), Administrators and moderators reserve the right to play max amount. However, we reserve the right to play “favorites.” If we know you, and we know you can hold up your end of the bargain, we may allow you to take up your third before getting to the required post count, or in rarer cases, a fourth. If we don’t know your skill, and you wish to take up a second before getting to the mark, ask us nicely and give us a reason why we should allow it.
- No Powerplaying, godmodding, ect.
- OC’s are allowed, but please deliver unto staff, an icon to be used in the character list; that is all that’s asked aside from what is mentioned above. Also, as much as our Wicked Queen dislikes Nyos, nyos will be allowed if asked for, and an 100x100 icon is given like for OCs. However. We don't find the idea of you playing both original and there Nyo counterpart appealing. Whereas both will be allowed, one person cannot play both.
- Canon relationships; such as Russia, Belarus and Ukraine as siblings; may be altered to suite the players needs, so long as they all agree with something. They cannot be removed entirely, however.
- Activity; please try for one post a week if possible. Unless on hiatus or have a near fatal case of writer’s block, the only exception is if you are waiting for other’s to reply to you.
- CBox; While some RP’ing will be done in the cbox, it is NOT forum-canon unless otherwise asked for and approved. Major events involving your character cannot take place in the cbox- Again, unless special permission is given, and it was done in paragraph form, then moved to a forum thread.
- You will not be getting to choose if you take on a royal role or other "important". Kings, Queens, Bishops, Knights, Rooks, and Pawns, will be picked at random. Your character will be given a role when you reserve and we will tell you so that you may base your app around the given role. This also goes for the Kingdom you'll belong to. This is to ensure characters will interact with those they normally wouldn't and to prevent desired characters only because of their roles and/or Kingdom.
