General Rules
Now finally I will state everything that I didn’t cover in the rest of the rules. Read over these carefully, these are rules you do not want to break either, for these concern a broader range of problems.Posting Length;; I am automatically establishing a posting length! I usually don’t do this, but I want well thought out posts and this is what I have to do to get it. I do not want to see a couple sentences as a roleplaying post! When you give a bad post it makes it hard for others to continue roleplaying. So make sure your post is at least 2 full paragraphs! I will be watching for this so make sure you do it! I am not asking for long novels, but 8-10 sentances, that have been thought out.
Character Age;; Ok it is so hard to RP with little kids on RPG’s! I want characters the age of 16 or older! Preferably older because a lot more can happen to your character if they are older, and if you are younger we will try and help you out. But then again young characters are welcome I didn’t make a high school for nothing.
Violence;; Hell Yes! This is the best part of roleplaying! Causing another character pain, and by the way it is allowed. But remember only control your character, you cannot say whether another character got hurt only the Admins or the actual character can.
Cursing;; Is allowed, and I expect to see it! I mean we want our roleplaying experience to be as real as possible, and cursing helps that. As long as your character doesn’t use a curse word every other word, we should be ok. In the OC area’s you can use it, but then again be graceful on how much you use!
Sex;; Everyone’s favorite topic. It is allowed, I mean it happens in real life, so why not in a virtual reality? We used to follow the fading out policy before the actual intercourse began but I kind of slipped up with one of my own characters and decided upon this: As long as you put a [warning] tag in the topic description then you can go as far as you want. If you don't put the warning tag and we find out, you can get in massive trouble and your topic will be deleted.
Homosexuality;; Homosexual relations are allowed! I mean it exists in the real world so why not here? Anyways it is perfectly fine and I hope we get a few so that we have a major diversity of sexual preference around. Also Bisexual fits with in with this topic! It is allowed and will happen here!
Pregnancy;; Pregnancy is probably my biggest pet peeve! I will allow it however, for it does make for some exciting reading, but you must get it approved by Coti and only Coti! NO ONE ELSE! The reason for this is because on the old ACU, we probably housed the biggest RPG family ever and it got so confusing. (You guys may remember the Rose, Dennis, Lizford, Atwood family linage.) I mean it was plotted very accurately but it was just too big!
Death;; Death is a part of life, and it is another big decision to kill off a character! All Admins have the right to kill off ANY character at ANY time! In other instances[ex:a fight with another character and you want your character killed off] be sure to have it approved by an admin first, and then, you may deliver the blow that kills off the character! Mods may kill characters off without the character's permission If they are given orders/permission to do so by an admin! I have been known to kill a person because their characters havent followed the rules, so push me to far and say *BOOM BOOM - BABY!*
Signatures: Let’s make this sweet and simple avatars can be no bigger than 100x120 while your banners cannot be bigger then 500x200! I will be watching for this I do not want some 700 by 1000 signature in your siggy! You cannot advertise in your signatures unless you have permission, and keep your signature a representation of your character, not of something weird. A Few existing member have broken this rule and I haven't said anything. Last warning and if you don't I will fix it for you!
Warning Bars:Ok back on the ACU, I don’t think I really used these warning bars. But I started using them recently when I opened up A Charmed Rebellion with my cousin Ashton, which is on Hiatus at the moment. I am going to be a hard ass with these Warning Bars if you don’t follow the rules and our constantly breaking them. Here are something’s you can get a warning bar increase for and remember to check back regularly for updates.
1. Being rude to the staff. (We are the law, so don’t get rude.)
2. Breaking the rules constantly. (We made the damn rules for a reason.)
3. Belittling comments about another person’s sexuality or gender. (Come on guys, don’t do it.)
4. Racist Comments. (Hell no, don’t do it! We are all equal.)
5. Ignoring staff when they tell you to do something. (So listen.)
Magical Abilities:When you begin and receive your powers, your character will be told about how much magical knowledge they contain. Some will know very little, some a certain amount, and very rarely some will know a lot. Most of you though will be RPing as if you just came into your powers and how you deal with them throughout your story. If you have been told what you know, then you may continue on with what you’re supposed to and have fun.You will receive advancements in power as you continue to RP and so forth, but only when we think you can handle them. Don’t think you will get advancements super fast, you have to prove yourself worthy of an advance, and I am sure most of you will do just that.More in likely when you join most of you will sign up for the side of good, most of you will hardly know anything about the magical world, because you were just given your powers. If you sign up for the side of bad, then you will have a broader range of magical knowledge.
Metaplaying: Another peeve of mine is people that Power Play, which is members thinking they are the some Godly Messiah and can never die! Guess what you are so wrong, and if you do this I will more and likely kill your character for the fun of it. Anyways you cannot control another person’s character and say if they get hurt and so forth. It’s just not possible and I do not want to see it happen. If you do it you will have a warning issued to you. Next I do not want your characters knowing everything out there in the world. It’s not just possible, every character should have some bit of curiosity and I will look forward to cutting down your cats nine lives if you know what I mean! So you should role-play with what you know or what you have been told, not as if you know everything because you don’t. Indestructible characters are not allowed either! I mean if you get into a fight you have to take some damage be fair. If you are weaker then someone else take the beating and get it over with. Maybe later you can get a power advancement and come and kick their ass. The point I am trying to stress is that your character is still human and will get hurt so remember this. Also murder is allowed if and only if the person wants to kill off their character. You cannot force someone to die; it is their decision and remember once you die you die for good no bringing them back. Unless you have a good reason for it, and then maybe we can work it out, but don’t count on it.
