1. Try to accept differences over IC or OOC issues, such as someone not wanting to interact or develop a deeper RP relationship with your character beyond being acquaintances or working partners . Please do not try to push romantic relationships onto other characters IC if they are not interested. This is their right. OOC consent needs to happen. Ask first, it's only polite and averts OOC and IC drama.
2.
People who cause arguments, insult and harass others, spread gossip and rumours, and generally create OOC drama, will always be treated with a ZERO TOLERANCE approach here.
3. No “Goddmodding”. You only control your character’s actions and thoughts, no one else’s. The golden rule in all our roleplaying is that IC Actions have IC Consequences. This represents two ideas: first, that quality RP means accepting and playing out fully the repercussions of what our characters do. If you get injured, you must roleplay your injury. If you pick a fight with another PC or NPC you might lose an arm. Don't get your character into situations if you are not willing to accept the possible consequences. Heroism has its risks as does stupidity!
4. NO "Meta- game" in RP: don't get OOC and IC mixed up. Do not use information that you as a person know OOC, but that your character IC has or had no way to have access to that information.
5. If somebody insults your character ICly, you should not hold an OOC grudge against them, and vice versa. We are not our characters. Try speaking to the person privately if it really bothers you or ask a GM/Mod for help with the situation.
6. Posting; we all have busy lives. We should all know that RL comes first, however don't take others for granted. You have shown an interest in being part of this RP group and this RP game, then please follow through. Please don't make others wait if it's your turn to post. If you have not given a head's up after a week, your turn will be skipped over and it will be your job to catch up. If you do not give a valid reason for not posting in over a month, you will be removed from the group.
7. As a new member, you will be removed if you do not give any response IC or OOC after fourteen days of joining. There is a two weeks trial on which your membership will be evaluated to see if you mesh well with the group or not. Obviously, members who can not communicate on an OOC level, well not fit well into this group and will be removed.
8.
Quality over quantity;
no one or two liners. I value two well written paragraphs (spelling well checked and grammar well checked) over a bunch of fluffy, flowery purple prose.
9. Writing light romance will be tolerated, but
smut and porn will NOT! If mentions of porn, smut or pornographic images appear on the character profile you have applied with, that character will be removed.
10. This is an adult role-play, you must be 21+ to RP in this group. Mentions of adult themes will come up, but
I will not tolerate that such things as rape, incest, torture, branding, bestiality, etc. be role-played in this forum. It will get you banned!
