¤ Don't be a dick. First and foremost, this game is just that: a game. We ask that you be respectful with your words and actions out of character.
¤ No godmodding under any circumstances. Don't try to control characters that aren't yours, and when in doubt, ask other players or the mods if what you're planning is all right.
¤ Character Limit. There is a three (3) character limit at this time. You have a better chance of having your second and third characters accepted if your characters are significantly different from each other (ie, a boy versus a girl, a student versus a teacher, so on and so forth).
¤ PBs. All PBs are acceptable so long as they have an easily Googled claim to fame and are living, though we ask that all icons be tasteful and tactful. PBs may not be changed once a character has been accepted to the game, so please choose carefully. The exception to this is any character with the "Reincarnation" power.
¤ Powers. Like PBs, powers may not be changed once a character has been accepted to the game. Please give careful consideration to the choices presented before applying! In addition, certain powers that have the potential to get out of control will be highly regulated. These powers will be marked on the "Powers" list by an asterisk (*). Consider limitations that this power will have and be prepared to justify your choices to ensure the game remains balanced. At this time, there is a limit of two (2) powers per character, and three (3) characters per power. If a power you want is taken by three other characters you will need to choose another power.
¤ Adds. Adds will be done three times weekly on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday in the evenings. Cutoffs for adds is 9:00pm EST.
¤ Rejections. Any application may be rejected for any grounds that the moderators see fit. If your application is rejected you may submit your application a second time to be reconsidered if you have made the suggested changes to it. The making of these changes does not guarantee your acceptance to the community, and no application will be reviewed more than twice (the initial submission and the resubmission). The moderator team reserves the right to rule on an application in the best interest of the community and may reject any application they do not feel fits the needs of the game or the community's caliber of writing. If you have any questions about the application, the accepting process, or why your application was not accepted, please leave a comment in the dropbox.
¤ Activity Checks. Activity checks will be conducted once each month on the last Sunday of the month. You must post a substantial entry (2+ paragraphs) or a scene (3+ replies) each month to count for activity. Commenting to other players, intros, and open scenes are also requirements to be considered active. Characters who have not met the activity requirement will be given a warning in conjunction with adds the Sunday prior to the check, and those characters must post within the week or face removal. If you are removed for inactivity you are welcome to reapply once more. After a second removal for inactivity, however, reapplication requests will not be granted.
¤ Moderator Privilege. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the game the moderation team reserves the right to exercise powers not stated in these rules as the need arises. Additionally, the mods reserve the further right to amend or adapt the Rules and FAQ answers as they see fit. The mod team have the final say on all matters pertaining to the game and will rule on matters in the best interests of the longevity of the game and the happiness of its members as a whole. |
