All members are to follow all of the rules set; these are to protect all the members and create as little useless drama as we possibly can. Please read through all of the rules, I do understand this is the boring part, but rules are rules, no?
- Respect all other members OOC. It is understood that IC disrespect is bound to happen during Rp between two characters; do not bring this from IC to OOC. If someone's character doesn't likes yours, it does not mean the actual person doesn't like you.
- Listen to the staff. They are staff for a reason, and are there to keep the peace and make sure everything stays in line. A staff member's word is law.
- If you are 'playing' around OOC, and someone asks you to stop what you are doing, please do stop. Some conversational matters are rather sensitive to some people, and I for one do not wish to have anyone uncomfortable, and I'd love for us all to get along.
- Everyone knows a bit of drama is needed during an Rp to keep things interesting, but this does not give anyone permission to over-do it. If you believe someone if going a bit too far, tell them. We do not want an overload of drama.
- This is a slightly mature Rp. Cussing is allowed (serious curse words are to be withheld from OOC) , though do not cuss every-other word please; there will be fighting between characters, it is inevitable. Mature content (i.e. sex) is advised to be Rped through PMs instead of on the main thread.
- This is a literate Rp (we do allow semi-literate). Proper grammar, and spelling is expected. Yes, we all make mistakes, and that's fine, but we do expect at least a small paragraph per post. The others Rping need something to reply to, dears, lets not make every post short, with 'internet grammar', and no detail.
- Do not double post on a thread. Once you post, give others time to reply; if you forgot to add something, edit your post and tell others you edited your post so they know as well. You may be Rping on two different boards at one time, that is fine, as long as you can keep up with it all.
- Your character will have weaknesses. No one is perfect, that's the bottom line.
- Do not god-mod, power-play, auto-hit, or control another person's character. Short examples of each are at the bottom.
- Any type/breed of dragon is allowed. I do not care if you make up your own kind of dragon, it adds even more creativity and diversity to the Rp. I advise characters to not have simple names; this Rp is based in a whole other world, therefor naming will be different, a lot different.
God modding/Power-playing
The dragoness ripped into the other dragon, they had no time to fight back. She was too strong, even though the dragon she was killing was much larger and taller than her.
Correct: She tried gripping her jaws onto the larger male's neck, attempting to move faster than his bulkier frame. Though she was strong, she knew that she was at a disadvantage in size and muscle, so speed was her only ally.
Controlling/Auto-hitting
Without warning, he ran forward and pushed the other dragon down, growling as his newly found enemy tried to break away from his grasp. The other dragon could not get away.
Correct: With no warning, he sprung forward, aiming to flip the other onto the ground and pin them so they would be trapped.
