Forum Rules
RPing Rules
[1] No abbreviations of any sort IC.
[2] 60 word minimum. This is a high beginner-low intermediate RPG at the very least, and we expect effort. If you think this is high, you may say so, but do not expect much. We're trying to push you.
[3] No godmoding, auto-hitting, or powerplaying.
Godmoding - Your person is invincible and can dodge everything.
Auto-hitting - Hitting your opponent automatically in battle or otherwise. Give your opponent a chance to dodge. If he or she always dodges, that is known as godmoding (see above)
Power-playing - Controlling another person's character and saying they took actions they did not. It takes two people to RP. When you're RPing, you're not telling the whole story, only your character's half of it.
[4] Do not kill off any characters without the RPers' and an administrator's permission. Otherwise, things get too messy.
[5] Roleplaying must be third person and past tense. "He ran into the camp" not "I run into the camp" "He runs into the camp" or "I ran into the camp".
[6] No graphic 'mating' or births. Please, we don't want to read about it.
[7] Graphic violence must be kept to an absolute minimum. Some blood, some hitting, but no more.

[1] No chatspeak/leetspeak. "Lol" is acceptable, but i HAte sentences Written lykt His .TheY annoy Me 2 DEATH!!!!1!11!
Right, get the point? I hope so. There's also this lovely invention called spell check. Mozilla Firefox has a built in one, and Proboards full reply does as well. In fact, so does Microsoft Word! With all these sources for spell check, you should have no trouble.... checking your spelling.
[2] No mature, graphic, racist, sexist, otherwise prejudiced, or inappropriate content. This includes (but is not limited to) statements, images, and other expressions. None. Posting of any such content will result in a month-long ban without warning.
[3] Do not claim the work of others as your own. This is called stealing and is unacceptable. Claiming the work of others will result in a month-long ban without warning. Multiple infractions will result in a permanent ban.
[4] Please be polite. Respect other members, respect the staff, don't bash and flame people for no reason whatsoever. If you're having issues with another member, work them out politely over PM. If you can't work them out, contact a staff member, but do not bash/flame them publicly. Please do not respond to a provocative statement by arguing or insulting the person who made it. It only serves to encourage them. Instead, contact an admin.
[5] Swearing should be kept to a minimum. Words are censored with asterisks, but please keep in mind that there may be younger members on this site, and though swear-words can add great flavor, they are also inappropriate.
[6] Spamming and double-posting annoy everyone and get you nowhere. Please don't do it, we'll just delete the posts. Each double post knocks 5 posts off your post total.
[7] Don't take IRL issues out on the poor innocent RPers on this site. I'm sure there'll be enough nice people out there willing to talk to you about it, but don't bite their heads off.
[8] One account per IP address unless you have specific permission from the admin. If you are discovered with more than one account, we will contact you and probably delete one of the accounts.
[9] Please let us know if you're going to be inactive for a long period of time so that we don't delete you. If you are accidentally deleted, we expect you to take the initiative and contact us rather than the other way around. We're not omniscient and there's no way we can know if we've made a mistake.
[10] Massive signatures and unreadable fonts annoy everybody. Please avoid them.
[11] Either list all your characters in your signature or provide a link to your character statuses thread (if you have one). This makes it easier for everyone to keep track of your characters.

On Characters
You may not join pregnant, or as a baby, as it causes too many complications. Your char can have kids or become pregnant.
Sob-story histories are really annoying. Keep your person's history unique but realistic. Sure, their siblings may have died, but they probably didn't watch the love of their life get murdered by someone or have their mother commit suicide in front of their faces.
