Full Site Rules
This should be everything you need to know, but if you're confused on anything or have any questions, just PM one of the site administrators.
1. INTERACTION:
Respect all players. That means respect other people's race, sexualtiy, religion and/or other people in general. If you disrepect anyone, Administration reserves the right to ban you. No questions will be asked.You may or may not be warned ahead of time.
2. BEHAVIOR:
This site is for all ages, however we can not gurantee that it will always be 100% appropriate. If it's disgusting, blasphemous or blatantly pornographic; use common sense and don't put it on here, but we will be reasonable.
2b. We want to be fair and will respect your sexual orientation no matter what it is as long as you respect ours, however we do not allow slash in any shape or form. If the character is straight in the comics, he'll be straight here. If he's gay in the comics, he'll be gay here. That's just the way it goes.
3. ADMINS:
The admins must follow the rules. Granted we make them, but we are still not above the law. Believe me, there's a hidden Admin section and we argue about this stuff every day so that we can keep everything fair.
Do not defy administration. If you have something you wish to discuss with us, do so with a Private Message (PM). But if an Admin makes a final decision, that's it. If you post a message on the board to the effect of "So and so admin is so stupid 'cause of..." expect to be banned by morning.
Also, the Admins are like Gods. You don't argue with God do you? If they say it, it goes. You can ask, you can make requests, but you can't defy or argue.
4. CHARACTERS:
Players may have up to three characters. That's it, don't bother asking for more. You are allowed two up front, one cannon and one OC or two cannons, and if you prove yourself you can earn the third. An admin will decided when you deserve this, if you start asking us for the third character chances are that you will never recieve one. They can be from any group of DCU past or present or other DCU Characters or they can be Original Characters. But PLEASE only apply if you are absolutely certain that you wish to be involved in the RPG. You may have two DCU characters and one original. NPC's are minor characters used for story development and my be used temporarily by anyone as needed.
If you are playing an canon character, keep their personality and quirks in mind when posting as them. We don't want to see, for example: Martian Manhunter doesn't behave like Plastic Man. This includes behavior, character history and sexuality. Characterizations are a must.
4b. You can reserve a character. Just PM an ADMIN or a MOD and tell 'em which character you are reserving. Then you'll have one week to apply for it. If you fail to do it, your reservation will expire and the character will again be available.
When applying for a character here, remember, we want quality role players that will put effort into there RP's, and keep up with the board. We expect more than a few lines per post. One liners just won't be accepted and we might even delete the post until you give us more. (You've been warned)
5. POSTING:
Post regularly. If you go missing for two weeks, then your character will be taken over by the RPG Gamemaster. If you go missing for more than 3 weeks, you will loose your character completely.
A bit of advice, though not actually a rule: Don't join a bunch of storylines at once or you will be confused and overwhelmed and leave them hanging.
If you disappear for more than two weeks without letting us know. You'll lose your character and are your player account will be deleted from the site.
This is a common rule to all RPG boards know to man. Do NOT permanently kill off other people's characters. Do not control other people's characters. If you do you're banned. If you feel like having power over all the characters, then write a fanfic.
Post every time it's your turn. DO NOT leave a storyline hanging. If it's your turn, then post. If you can't keep up, get out of the storyline.
And of course, have fun. That's the most imporant thing.
