Welcome to this rpg; here all players from all levels are welcome to play!
Here are some important things to live by here:
Do NOT kill anyone without their expressed permission, and without informing a mod, or administrator. Going into stasis lock is a different story, though.
Please refrain from Godmodding. Now, many might have this confused with powerplaying, but there is a big difference. Godmodding is when you create an all powerful character, dodge every hit, kill in one hit, are invulerable, etc. Only a few characters should even be close to that, (i.e. Optimus, Megatron, etc.) Now I don't mind if your a tank, or a speedster. But you should compensate in other areas, if your a tank, you might be slow, if your a speedster, you shouldn't be able to take as many hits.
Please keep from powerplaying. What is powerplaying? Well, it is when you pretty much control someone elses character, without their permission. You must allow the other player to respond with their reaction.
For Example: (I'll use a very simple one...)
This is bad- Megatron shoots at Optimus, knocking him down.
This is good- Megatron aims towards Optimus, and fires.
Be Involved. If you have an idea for a plot, thread, or event, tell us! Although we might be admin, that doesn't mean you don't have the right to tell us your ideas, opinions, or feelings. We can't have a good game if no one is talking to each other. Communication is essential for an rpg to work. On that note, if your going to be gone for a long period of time, tell us. That way we can accomidate accordingly, move threads along etc. If there is a thread that has waited more than 3 days for a reply, then please let someone know, so we can move it along.
DO NOT discriminate There shall be no racism, sexism, etc. against anyone what so ever. If I see this once, you might have to deal with a ban.
Thread Invasion Now I do not believe in this in the original sense of the word. But if there has been a thread going on for a long time, please wait for an in before actually replying. Now this goes both ways, I do not want to read about someone yelling at someone else or being all around mean to them because they joined a thread. If you want it closed, put CLOSED, or put the characters' name you want to deal with in there. Do not put open and then get mad because alot of people are joining. If you join a thread, make sure to read the other posts, so that you don't miss anything important.
Posting Order/SkippingIf you have several people in a thread please try to establish a posting order of sorts if you can. DO NOT SKIP PEOPLE. If someone is gone without saying anything in the Absences thread then please pm them after three or more days have past since their last post. If they do not answer the pm within two more days then you may proceed. Please do not just run off with a topic. If it's a minor one, then that's fine, but if it's an important topic, like a battle, important briefing, conversation etc. then please give everyone time to respond before you post again.
Swearing If you have to swear, then please at least let it be in character. Don't just go blasting off at the mouth and cuss someone out because your mad or feel like it...and please keep it to a minimum.
Extreme Violence, or Sexual Content If you have to have this in your thread, either put a warning up, or pm an admin so they can move your topic to the password protected area. The reason for this is because you might have members of various ages, some too young to view this...and we don't want to be sued, or have them get in trouble by their parents.
Canons If a person takes a cannon, then it should be put up in the canon thread, and the title of the character creation post itself, so that it can be updated, and other canons will be able to know who they would know in the game.
Note: There is more to this rule now. If you have one canon already, please wait before taking another one. Give those without one the chance to take one. But if no one wants that canon, then you may take it. Also, do no take a canon and then give him up days later if you can help it. Try to have a idea of who you want to play, or just do OC's. Also if you are going to pass an account to another, you need to let someone know. Finally remember, just because you put it down on the list doesn't mean it's officially taken until staff adds it to the taken list and you post a bio.
Respect Respect the rules, your admin and staff, and especially your fellow players. If you have a disagreement, and it can't be solved quickly, please let someone know, so that they can try to help solve it fairly, or at least mediate it.
Credit and plagarism Never plagarize, please, if you use something that was made by someone else (including signatures, art, fanfiction, etc.) please credit the source. Personally I'm fine if I make you a sig and you don't mention that I did it everytime, but other people might not be as nice with that...
Registration When your ready register, go ahead and sign up! Post your tech specs and bio, and please be patient. It will be reviewed very shortly. If you wish to reply in someone else's bio, then please be constructive. No flaming. *All flames will be given to Inferno*
Character limit Right now, you can have 1 cannon and 3 originals. Just so that another person can try for a cannon too, and so that you don't have too much on your plate. But if you feel you can handle more, please let someone know who else your taking so that they can edit the canon list. Also, please use a different account per character, just to alleviate any confusion as to who you might play.
Note: Some people here might know this fandom like the back of their hand, others might be really knew to this, some know the cartoons, others just the movie. Please do not patronize someone for not being on the level you are, if they need help, offer it. But do not just tell them off or insult them. This goes both ways, do not call someone who is really into the series a 'fanboy' or anything else like that. This rpg is meant for everyone.
Have FUN Final rule is have fun! This is the most important rule there is here...
If there are any questions about any of these rules, any exceptions, etc. please post them in the appropriate forum, or pm an admin so that they can help you out. No question is stupid, that's what were here for!
