1) RESPECT
The other staff members and I are taking time out of our schedules (which mine is going to get fairly busy here shortly) to run this site and bring you interesting events and plot hooks for your enjoyment, that you can enjoy your characters. Please show us the respect you would like to receive.
2) NO GODMODDING/POWERPLAYING/METAGAMING
I'm going to break each of these down for those that do not know what they are. Godmodding and Powerplaying are very similar. There is no such thing as an omnipotent, omniscient character. Acting like you know every capability of a character you just met is a no go, because there is no legitimate way for your character to have that information. Auto-dodging and auto-hitting are also not okay, as everyone has a chance that they are just that tiny bit fast enough to avoid your attack, or hit you in spite of your avoidance. As for Metagaming, if someone is planning something about your character, and you would have no reason In Character to know about it, then your character has no clue about it.
3) ACCOUNT RULES
One character per account, and make sure your display name is your character's name. You can feel free to create an account as an Out of Character account to make it easier for people to contact you, but please no swearing or vulgarity in your names, thank you. We are still bound by the ToS and the EULA of Proboards forums.
4) TERMS OF SERVICE VIOLATIONS
We are, as I have said, still bound by the Terms of Service of Proboards and Boards.net. Therefore, keep all public content PG, no worse than PG-13. If you MUST have higher ratings, you must either have an initial post with nothing in it but a content warning (Up to R), or take it off site or to PMs (Anything higher than R). If a post is found that violates this rule, the thread will be locked, and all participants will receive a warning.
5) MONETARY SYSTEM
There is a monetary system in place, accessible through the buttons in the bottom left corner, including a 'stock market'. A few things apply specifically to this: You may not transfer money between your characters. No more than 5000 may be transferred to any member (specific to each account) in a single month (defined as 1st through 30th/31st). You may use your currency to purchase graphics from one of our (hopefully many) awesome graphic designers.
