[RULES]
We hate rules, but sometimes they are just important to have. So here's only a few basic ones.
Updated 02.20.09
You must carefully read these rules before considering in applying to the community.o1.
You must be at least 17 years of age in order to apply. No minors are allowed in the game! While researching international law, seventeen appeared to be the most common age for a legal adult. So the minimum age allowed in the RP is officially seventeen.
o2.
You must be comfortable with adult-related material. In this RP there
will be NC-17 rated logs present, or you will be required to participate in an NC-17 log, as well as possible sexual content within the character journals. If you are not comfortable with such explicit themes, then this RP is not for you.
o3.
Naruto characters only! The only characters that are allowed here are from the series
Naruto. Naruto OC's (original characters) are
NOT allowed here. Canonly dead characters are permitted to apply. The only alternate characters allowed in the game are Kyuubi and Shuukaku. The only characters that will NEVER be accepted are Naruko and Sasuko due to these being nothing more than OCs, and Uzumaki Kushina out of respect for the storyline created between the Naruto and Minato muns. Uchiha Mikoto/Fugaku can also not be applied for due to the respect of the Itachi and Sasuke muns.
o4.
No godmodding is allowed. For more information on what godmodding is, refer to this link
here. If there are issues in which you are subject to godmodding, please rectify the issue with the other player first. If it is something even more serious, feel free to contact a mod so they can help rectify the problem with you.
o5.
Please put large or non worksafe images under a friend's cut! Be considerate of the other players' friends list!
o6.
Character pregnancy, or characters having children are not allowed. However, character relationships/marriages/pairings are more than encouraged here. This is also a yaoi/yuri/heterosexual-friendly community. But remember that this is a sex industry-related game, which means your respected partner MIGHT have in character sex with others. Discuss this situation thoroughly with the other player you're paired with before you two agree on getting your characters together!
o7.
Shotacon and Lolicon are NOT allowed here! If you apply, your character MUST be 18 years of age (the standard starting age for actors/tresses in the adult industry).
o8.
Please put all logs under a friends lock! This is only to protect your privacy.
o9.
Please be as IC (in character) as possible! Don't slack in your characterization or you'll receive a warning. Crack is allowed in the game, so its not going to be entirely serious. We only ask that you're in character most of the time in anything you do.
o10.
Staying active in the game is imperative to keep it alive! Please try to post at least once every two weeks! Commenting to other characters is also
mandatory. This is how you build character interaction. Each end of the month, the mods will do regular activity checks. Don't be put on the warning list! Try your best to be active and available!
EDIT 112108: If you can't keep up with a fast-paced roleplay, or if you do not have the time to be roleplaying (college/jobs keep you busy)
do not join. This has been something of an issue in the past with people joining only to go on hiatus for a month then drop. Please, please make sure you have the time to be roleplaying before you waste ours. Thank you.
o11.
If you are making a post in the IC main community, please tag your entries! They'll be better to keep track of in the future.
o12.
Do not let OOC drama and personal feelings overwhelm you in the game! This is for fun, and we do not have fun if you are making others uncomfortable or you yourself are uncomfortable. You must also remember that anything said and done in IC is and will never
be the player's true feelings. Mods exist for a reason. If something or someone is disrupting you from enjoying the RP, please contact us! We're here to help!
o13.
What goes on in the community chat room stays there. Unless you have written permission, all community chats are OOC and anything discussed in them are strictly for informational purposes out of IC, not for IC plot device.
o14.
Zero tolerance to OOC/IC bullying. This is the quickest way to get automatically kicked out of the game. Be polite and respectful of each other and your differences, please.
o15.
No sharing of personal journal amongst non-players! This rule is actually very serious. Your personal journal is meant for you and you alone. Sharing it means allowing someone outside the community to see things they have no permission to view.
o16.
You must have AIM. This is the most commonly used client that players use in the community. It will ensure contact with everyone as well as being a sure and easier way for moderators and players to contact you.
o17.
DO NOT JOIN SOLELY FOR A PAIRING. This is actually a serious problem and a serious annoyance. If you ship, let's say, Lee/Gaara, and there is a Gaara but not a Lee,
do not join as Lee just to get with Gaara. This rule does not imply that Gaara and Lee are not allowed to be in a relationship. It's saying that your character should not exist solely to be in this relationship. To keep the comm alive, interaction with everybody is imperative. Remember that you're totally allowed to have deep, meaningful, loving relationships between your characters. But if that's all there is to your character, and they only interact with their one true love, you're playing for a pairing and this is not allowed.
o18. If you have multiple characters, do not, under any circumstance, make a relationship between them that requires constant interaction. This is a form of meta-gaming, and is something that we do not allow. This includes having one of your characters know everything another of yours does, says, or thinks. Or jumping in and defending one of your characters with another of yours. Play through troubles with one character and don't rely on another to bail them out. This is what leads to character development, and that is delicious. Even if your characters are best friends, overusing that status is unacceptable, not to mention unfair to the other players/characters.
Meta-gaming is another form of godmodding. We have a strict policy against it. So whereas you don't think you're godmodding your character you're actually doing something far worse. And really, why would you want to sit there and RP with yourself anyway?
o19.
Have fun! The most important rule! ♥
