Rules of the Site

Updated 05/01/11

1. No Godmodding or Power playing.
The top rule of every site. Godmodding is when you control another character that is not yours. Not giving others a chance to dodge an attack counts. Power playing is when you are insanely strong. That just defeats the purpose of the RP.

2. Listen to the Staff.
Staff have the last say in everything. Please do not try to talk back, we do not want to issue warnings or ban anyone.

3. Limit swearing.
Swearing mildly once or twice in RPs is fine, but do not overly abuse it. This is a PG-13 forum, and we would like it to stay that way.

4. No one-liners.
In the RP areas, posts must be 2 paragraphs or longer. This is not as hard as it may seem. We understand that there are days when muse simply refuses to work, so this rule may be bent slightly. Keep in mind that anyone who takes advantage of that will be warned.

5. Read the rules.
When applying for a character, the answer to the question is: chocolate.

6. No Spamming.
When out of character, posts must be 5 words or more. This is to ensure no spamming occurs.

7. No Character Deaths.
OCs are not allowed to be killed off unless you have the permission of the owner. Canons cannot be killed without permission from an Admin.

8. Signature limit.
Massive signatures make the forum lag, and are annoying to other users. Please keep your signature within a reasonable limit. Admins are able to resize signatures, and they will do so after a few warnings.

9. 3 Character limit.
One person cannot take all the good characters, so we are creating a character limit. The limit is 3 characters, of any of the combinations:

• 2 canon characters and 1 OC
  
• 1 canon character and 2 OCs
  
• 3 OC characters

Please keep in mind you are not allowed 3 canon characters.

10. Further information on characters
One user is not allowed 2 major canon characters in the same 'group'. For example, 2 characters cannot both be in the Varia (eg. Xanxus and Squalo) or the Vongola (eg. Gokudera and Hibari). They also cannot have direct interactions with one another (eg. Tsuna and Reborn).
Obviously, this rule does not apply to OCs.

Rules of Turning Back the Clock

Updated 28/01/10.
Rules here only apply to the Turning Back the Clock category.

1. State the timeline and location.
In the first post of a new thread, the starter of the RP must state the number of years before TYE (Ten Years Earlier), and also the location of the RP. For example, if it is a 10 year old Tsuna, it looks like this:

Timeline: 5 years before TYE.
Location: Sawada Household, Namimori Town, Japan.

This only applies in the first post of a new thread (as stated earlier) and has no need to be continued with the second post.

2. State the characters and ages.
The starter of the RP is responsible for updating the first post with a list of the characters who are participating. Their ages should be respectively listed beside the name. For example, if the thread starter was Belphegor, and Squalo was involved, it would look like this:

Characters involved:

• Belphegor; Age 8
  
• Squalo; Age 14

The first post of each thread must have that on the top, as well as a timeline.

HOWEVER! If a person has not yet entered the thread, you must not put their name in! Only put their name in AFTER they have entered!

3. No Character Deaths.
Characters are not allowed to die, even if you have permission from the owner. This is because they are still alive a few years later, so it doesn't add up. This rule is excepted if you wish for your OC character to only be involved in Turning Back the Clock, and not in the 7 years later RP. There are no exceptions for Canons.

4. No conflicting ages.
Characters with conflicting ages cannot be in the same RP thread. For example, if Tsuna is 5, Gokudera cannot be 10. However, you are free to create a different thread with a different timeline.

The eloquence of these rules were added by Max, because CC can't...speak...eloquently...and she has a lack of brain.
