Rule #1. No Bullying!

Yes I know.. Rules, rules, rules. Why we gotta have these stinkin' rules. Well, if you want to build a community, you have to have some common ground and have it set clear what you can't do. I have nothing outrageous. These are mostly common sense, but are here just so they are said and if you don't read them and you end up breaking them, that is your fault. They've always been here people! What happens if you break the rules? This goes on the basis of what you broke and exactly how bad you broke it. If it was bad enough to warrant one, you will get a strike. Simply put, you cause trouble and drama, you get a strike. If you get three strikes, you are out. Banned.. So don't get three strikes.. Again, these are common courtesy rules. Nothing hard to follow really.

This one shouldn't really even need to be said. You don't come around here and bully someone. No one likes a bully and I have a zero tolerance for it. If you bully, you instantly get a strike. If you are teasing in all good fun, that is one thing, but if you are harassing someone and calling them names to hurt them, you are not going to get far here. This is a place for fun and to relax and have a good time. If you are having a not so great day and want to escape the world and come here and write in your own little world, that is fine and a great thing to be able to do, but don't take out your day on someone else. I won't tolerate it at all. You don't like someone, take it elsewhere. It will have NO place here. No one deserves to be bullied and I will stand behind anyone who is. If you are being bullied, please take a screenshot of it and contact me and I will handle it! Don't think for a second that you don't matter because here, you definitely do.

Rule #2. No God-modding

If you do not know what this is, God-modding is when you are battling someone and you unrealistically gain the upper-hand or doing something entirely drastic without permission. You have to have bounds in a roleplay because if you are able to just do absolutely anything you want without limits or bounds, it's going to make no sense and just turn out horrible. For an example, if you are in a battle and you just chop someone's head off and kill them.. That is a drastic move and you just killed someone's character randomly. You can't do that, that is god-modding. You can't go around just killing people. A person's character is a commodity and unless you both have it planned to happen, you can't outright kill someone. That makes just no sense at all. Take note, no one likes an over-powered character. Also you can't use another person's character without the permission that also falls under this. A person's character is sacred to them and just making them do something that they didn't want to do is not cool. You get no cool stickers for the week. Now, sometimes new people don't know what god-modding is. I will explain and give warnings if I see it, but just know that if I have to warn you alot, I will just give you a strike if it doesn't sink in. Sorry, but I shouldn't really have to tell you more than twice.. Even once really, but I am a cool and awesome person. I get my cool stickers for the day.. The year even!

Rule #3. Respect eachother

We are all still human beings even though we are on the internet and playing people that aren't even really us. If you are in character and disrespecting in-character to another character then that is fine, but as people, we have to have respect for one another. There is no hate here. No racism, no going off on someone, and no causing drama. You want to take a ride on the drama llama then you are going to have to do it outside of this site. Don't bring disrespect here because I just won't tolerate it. Remember the golden rule: Treat someone the way you want to be treated!

Rule #4. Use your grammar to the best of your ability

No one wants to read "I walk 2 da door and den i open it up and den i sen a dawg" It just looks wrong.. It really does. People make mistakes and I can understand that, but use proper words, spell to the best of your ability, and please use correct punctuation. It makes roleplaying so much better. If you don't know how to spell something or are looking for a particular word, don't be afraid to use an online thesaurus or dictionary. The internet is used for more than boobies you know.. *whispers* "Even though boobies are pretty damn awesome."

Rule #5. Don't spam someone with roleplays

If you are roleplaying with someone, often times there is a common courtesy to wait your turn and let someone have a chance to respond to you. Don't spam roleplays and overwhelm a person. Give them a chance to respond and catch up. Some people like to roleplay and not play catch up the whole time. It can be even worse if a group is roleplaying. Someone can feel left out if they are left in the dust in a group. Give them a chance to catch up. I won't strike or fault anyone for this because well, we do get into our roleplays and sometimes we forget. It does happen, but please just try to think about this when you are roleplaying with others. It can often intimidate new people and you have to remember not all people are going to be on the same level. Let everyone have an equal opportunity to respond and have a level playing field. That is all I ask.

Things you CAN do! Woo hoo!

Yep, there are things you CAN indeed do! Wow, go figure right!? So there are some grey areas that people may not know if they are okay or not. So I am here to tell you what is fine that you may not know if actually fine! Let's go through it shall we? This is a short list even though there is plenty you can do. I am just covering the grey areas that people may be wondering about.

What you can do #1. Drinking & Smoking is fine!

But kids shouldn't know to drink and smoke! True, but they are going to figure it out in the real world so why censor that here? I'm sure there are plenty of underage people that will be here, but the thing is, this isn't the real world. That kind of stuff should be perfectly fine in a roleplay environment. It's just words guys! Don't take it to the level of seriousness it doesn't need to be at. The world already has so much censorship in it. I won't do that. You want to smoke and drink here? Do it til your lungs and liver give out! Why do I care? There is no more influence here than there would be in the real world.

What you can do #2. Let the blood fly all over!

Some people are maniacs.. Psychos.. Serial killers. It's no different in roleplaying form. Some characters may have a trait that makes them a psycho or an evil person and they may have gore or bloody roleplays. That is fine. You may think the person is demented or belong in a padded cell, but that is fine. The thing we do here is that we are getting away from the real world and doing things that we wouldn't necessarily do ourselves. We are acting out what we can't do most of the time and that is sometimes going to mean being psycho killers or the such. It's fine, just don't do it in real life. This site doesn't condone killing and murdering real people. *waves finger at you* "Bad psycho killer... BAD!" But in all seriousness.. Yeah.. We don't condone killing people.

What you can do #3. Sex is allowed to an extent

Just remember to keep it classy because there are going to be underage people here and this isn't some smut show. As long as you keep it classed up and it's not made into some hardcore porn writing, it's fine. You want to have that hardcore sex stories? You are going to have to find another place because there are indeed underaged people here and we don't need that stuff. Keep it classy here guys and be aware what you are saying. Also, don't go around raping people. That will not be tolerated at all. That's just plain weird and taking it a step too far. It has to be consensual and planned and if all else fails and you don't really know if it's a good idea, message me. My information is in the contact portion of the site. You can always run an idea by me and we can talk about it and figure it out. Also it's worth noting that the live roleplaying doesn't condone any type of sexual stuff so that is worth taking note to as the chatzy live roleplaying is actually ran by a friend and they don't want sex roleplays there. So this rule really falls into the forum portion of the roleplaying. Sorry!

OVERALL ~ We are all here to have a good time. Again, if you are unsure about something that may be a grey area or you just are not 100% on something, please feel free to ask. Once again, my contact information is on the site and you can easily get a hold of me. I will help out on anything I possibly can! Lastly, this is a place to have fun so above anything else, Smile and have fun! This is a place to craft and share stories with others and that's ultimately what it's all about. Building a community that is awesome and I can't wait to see how it comes along! Thanks for reading the rules and if we can all follows these, I would deeply appreciate it! Thanks again!

What you can do #4. Cursing is allowed

Everyone lets go a "damn" or even sometimes a "fuck" every once in awhile. It happens.. We can call be mature about this right? I mean come on "I was walking in the woods and then a lego came out of nowhere and F@%& I stepped on the D@#$ thing!" just looks silly. You might as well convey what you mean in your roleplay the right way. Now it doesn't mean to go all out full sailor here because there is no reason to filth that pertty mouth up. Keep it reasonable and that is fine. However, if you are dropping "F" bombs all over the place like it's world war III and you are trying to win the war, you may be the hero in your mind, but you fail here. You can get a point across without using every bad word in the english language. Sometimes, it may be necessary, but remember, there are younger ones around and isn't it better to set the better example? Cursing doesn't make you cool. *puts on sunglasses* "But these sunglasses do! They are all mine.. MINE I SAY!
