1. The cardinal rule of RP: Keep OOC and IC separate. I don't feel this needs to be explained - keep OOC knowledge to writers alone, not characters in-game who wouldn't logically know; IC reactions to characters/their actions is not an out of character opinion of a writer, etc., etc. - but continuous violations of it will result in a response from the moderator to the player in question. Further violations will result in removal from the game regardless of activity.
2. No godmoding or puppeting other player's characters without permission. Simple enough, right?
3. AIM is not required (although is good for plotting and community interaction), but your journal name must somehow reflect your character - be it a variation of a character's name, reference to their power, reference to character traits, etc. The limit, for the moment, has been abolished, but do keep in mind you must meet activity checks with all characters to keep them in the game. Original characters and duplicate powers are accepted, but only two characters per power until further notice.
4. Activity counts as posting a thread or lengthy entry in-journal every three weeks. Small IC conversations, lyrics, etc., etc. do not count as activity as this is a thread-heavy game. This isn't to say that you can't post these things, but the moderator will be looking for something substantial every three weeks. Just so everyone knows, activity checks will happen on the last day of the month.
5. Questionable or taboo plots that are to be posted in the community must be cleared by the moderator first as there are storylines that many people do not feel comfortable writing let alone reading. If there is no intention on posting them in the community, feel free to keep them in customs, but please be conscious of the other writers.
6. Please be sure to put the appropriate tags on your thread posts (as listed by the moderator), and please use the following format when posting threads:
7. Most of all, have fun! That is what this game is here for!
