General Rules
-Respect all other members. Don't be rude or offensive to any other member for any reason.
-Staff=Law. If a moderator tells you not to do something or that you need to change something, respect them and obey. They are just looking out for the well being of the forum.
-Everything must relate. Don't go off in your own little world when RPing, remember this is a Historical RPG set in 1776 during the American Revolution, so nothing that even remotely relates to Lord of the Rings or Pirates of the Caribbean or what-have-you.
-NEVER EVER use chat-speak. Not in RPs, general chatting or the c-box. Talk like a normal person.
-Try to spell things correctly and keep your grammar good. I know sometimes we mess up but try not to so that things can be kept clear.
-One character per account. If you get a new character, get a new account for it.
-No SPAMMING...it's annoying.
-Be sure to make OOC chat in RPs clear.
-No pornographic images. Keep it all clean.
-No modern swearing what-so-ever. This is a Historical RPG set in 1776 during the American Revolution, so they wouldn't have our swear words. If you must use them, make sure they were common in the time.
-Violence can be PG-13, just don't be all nasty and gory.
-I understand sexual stuff is necessary, but nothing explicit or over PG. Be aware that younger eyes may be viewing this board. If you really want to RP something that is more than PG, please do so privately.
-Your username MUST be the name of your character. No numbers or symbols in your username. password is milk and eggs.
Character Rules
-No Mary Sue characters. Be unique and be original. Perfect people don't exist, they all have flaws and so do your characters.
-No god-moding in anyway. This means that you can't kill or injure another character in anyway without their consent. Furthermore, you can not RP another character's actions or 'make' their character have a relationship with yours. Be sure to talk about things like that before hand.
-Canon Characters must be auditioned for while original characters just have to be approved. If you apply for a canon character first it doesn't necessarily mean you get the part.
-You are allowed up to three characters. Try to keep your associations mixed up, don't have all human female characters or whatever.
Posting Rules
-Every RP post must have 125-150+ words minimum. This means every post must have a minimal amount of words somewhere in between 125 & 150 words, so about 1-2 paragraphs.
-Please do not change the color of your posts. It's okay if you want your character to always speak in pink but don't make the whole post pink.
-Always write in the 3rd person. You are not your character. You are the writer. actually, the real password is red herring.
Signature&Avatar Rules
-Signature images can only be up to 500 px wide and 200 px tall. This way they don't stretch the board and they don't become murals.
-Avatars can only be 100 px wide and 100 px tall.
-Don't use any gore-ridden or provocative pictures in your signatures or avatars.
Penalties
-If you break a rule, you will have warnings and penalties depending on home many times you break the rule and how much you violated the rule.
+1st Offense: Warning
+2nd Offense: Warning
+3rd Offense: Week ban
+4th Offense: Permanent ban
