GENERAL RP RULES

1)GM has the power and it is his game, respect him but don’t suck up.

2)Respect your fellow players, it is okay to make a character that has a rivalry with another character but it should stay in game.

3)Use the appropriate forum sections for your RP discussions IC and OOC.

4)If the game is a dice game with sessions, please notify ahead of time if you can’t make a session.

5)When in doubt ask.

6)Don’t God Mod. Seriously. Pissing off the GM is not a good thing. That’s how you wind up being the bitch of a bunch of gay pirates.

7)If you have a problem with the rules or an action discuss it with the GM privately.

8)Most importantly remember the golden rule of role playing, have fun.



2 STRIKE RULE

In any RP, should the GM or a moderator of the RP forum give a RPer a warning that he/she is godmodding or violating the RP/forum rules, the said RPer will have one strike. No action will be taken against the offending RPer.

Should the offending RPer continue to violate the rules of the RP/Forum, they will receive a ban from the RP the offences occur in.



RULES FOR RP MAKING

1) Have all lore or anything else that will be needed when shown to public. If it isn’t a continuation in a previously used RP’s universe then the GM has a lot of work a head of him. The GM can not simply go: The subject is X, go make character sheets a potential alienate a lot of people who don’t know about the subject. You must provide history, details about the different options available to the RPer, and general information about the land in which one is RPing

2) RP idea needs to be reviewed by the RP moderators before it can be posted (just PM to one of them and they will share with the rest). The moderators will judge the RP idea based on potential, do-ability, how much work was spent on it, details, system, time, etc.

3) Head GM must be acceptable by the moderators. Factors are previous RP experience, leadership, responsibility, etc. Other GMs (if any) are selected by Head GM, but the Head GM will be held responsible for any issues that arise. A creator of an idea may choose to let someone else be the Head GM if someone else wishes to do so, but they lose all creative license as a result. It will be up to the appointed Head GM which way the RP goes and the creator must go with it.

5) No more than two RPs will be active at the same time in a given section. It is recommended that one uses the time until one of the current RPs ends or dies to refine the RP even further.

6) Polls to see if an idea is acceptable by the public is acceptable. However, the idea itself must be submitted to the moderators before it is posted.
