Rules for RP
1. DO NOT GODMOD - This is rule number 1 because I want it abided by. Anyone caught god-modding will warned and then kicked out if he/she continues on a regular basis. This board is set for everybody, and if somebody wants to violate that and think themselves above everybody else, then they will be banned for a time that The Mods see fit. This also includes acting for another character. You can not make some one do what you want just because you want it.
(Ex. 1 - "Person A slashes Person B until he dies")
(Ex. 2 - "Person A unleashes a blast of Reiatsu that levels the entire city")
(Ex. 3 - "Person A blocks all attacks coming from Person B" [sidenote - you will shed blood eventually, don't doubt it])
(Ex. 4 - "Person B doesn't block Person A and Person A kills him")
(See Definition of Modding)
2. No Flaming - This board will hold respect for everybody. If someone flames on a char. creation because they don't like it, they will be banned. If someone flames through PM and it is brought to our attention, they will be banned. Everyone is equal here.
(Ex. - "PERSON A, YOU ARE A STUPID NOOB WHO SHOULD DIE)
3. The Mods Are In Charge, Respect That - It is pretty much self explanatory. Don't yell at us or disrespect us. If you have a problem, you can bring it up in private and we will do what we can to help solve the problem.
(Ex. - "f**king mods can't do that, they can rot in hell!)
4. Keep The Cursing to a Minimum - No cursing unless it helps the story or adds a flare to the post that is need. Please use good judgment on what is necessary in your posts or not. The words "fuck" and "bitch" will not be allowed in any context whatsoever and using them will result in a 1 week ban. Also, any racist remarks will result in an immediate 2 week ban, in any context.
(Ex. - "You mother fucking bitch ass goddamn hoe!")
5. ATTEND REGULARLY!!! - Attend the site regularly to check for updates and post. You should be checking up at least 3 times a week. If you are unable to check and post for various reasons (I.E. Family trouble, injury, sickness etc.) please notify one of the mods. If you have little internet access time, then don't make a character at all. This rule is put into affect because to keep this site clean and uncluttered, posts will be deleted after they have been up for two weeks. Also, if a member does not post for more than a month, you will be booted and your membership considered null and void.
6. Extend Your RP Posts - Add detail to your posts. No one sentence posting because that is dull and boring. If you are having trouble extending you post, here is a tip, give every little detail: what your char is thinking, the view of the landscape, etc. Don't worry, it will lengthen up. Every post should be at least a paragraph long. But remember, if you make a post too long, like a novel for example, then people are going to lose interest after a while. The code is "we will rise again." Find the Balance.(Unless it's a very small action like going to the bathroom, and in that case, it isn't even important enough to make a post about it anyway.)
(Ex. - "Person A walked from one room to the next")
7. You Can't Be 2 Places At Once - Pretty much self explanatory. You can't be in Odai and in the Training Ground at the same time. This may not be based on the Bleach Storyline, but it is based on Bleach Physics.
(Ex. - "Person A walks through the training ground."
....
[In another thread simultaneously] "Person A strikes down another bandit in Odai")
8. Post A Link - Don't just appear out of nowhere. If you plan on moving from one place to another, post a link to the thread you moved too. That way, you don't just show up in a place without explanation to where you came from or where you are going
9. Provide Translation - Not all of us can speak Japanese, if you post something in Japanese, please provide translation so that others can understand what you are saying. It's not fair in RP if you kill someone and they don't even know it's happening.
10. Be A Good Sport - RP is about having fun with other people. If you can't have a good fight without carrying aggression over into real life. If someone loses because they are genuinely better than you, than you should at least be mature about it. However, if you feel you've been cheated, contact a staff member and we'll investigate the matter.
Character Rules
1. Get Creative - When creating a character, you need to get creative. On the last site I worked on, everything was "Giant Wave of Reiatsu" and that pissed me off to no end. Get really creative, i mean think outside of the box and do something that is fun. A good rule of thumb is this: If two ppl have it, consider it taken. Also remember, that this character will be up for a while unless you request his/her death.
2. NO AMNESIA - Amnesia is just a way of dodging coming up with a history. I can't stress that enough. A history shapes your char. actions and personality. It defines why you act the way you do. Amnesia, however, does not.
3. Don't Post To Many Pics - Pictures help define your character's appearance, but we don't need ninety pictures to know what your char. looks like.
4. Make The Histories Longer - At The Very LEAST your history needs to be 2 paragraphs long, no less.
5. Use Spell-check and Grammar-check - I don't want characters that have a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. It makes you sound foolish and it makes the site look bad. You can have a great character but if the spelling and grammar is bad, you will be denied until you clean it up.
6. Read Up On How To Use The New Template - I understand that the template is confusing at first, but once you get used to it, it'll be fine. You have to take the time to understand it though. The code is We will rise again. Eventually, it'll work so that we can have a constant upgrade status and Ryu Mission system, but you have to read up on it in the Character Creation section.
7. Character Amount - The rule will go as follows
Starting Off - You get 2 custom characters you can make
250 Posts - You receive 2 more custom characters you can make
1000 - You receive 2 more and no more.
8. Character Deaths - Character deaths must first be run by an admin and approved so that they may die officially in Role-Play.
Chat Rules
1. Keep the Flaming to a Minimum
2. Keep all outside life drama in a private chat.
3. Keep aggression to a minimum.
4. Keep Cursing to a minimum.
5. Don't spam.
