Most of these should be fairly common sense, but I figure it's easier to put it here in black and white.

• Treat others as you would wish to be treated. That is, treat everyone with respect when OOC. It is understandable that your character would have to act a certain way, but you have no such constraints outside of game play.
  

• What happens in the game, stays in the game. What happens OOC, stays OOC. If your characters have a beef with each other, keep it in the game. If you have a beef with another player, keep it out of the game.
  Any abusive In Game post that seems fuled by an out of character dispute will be deleted and the person will be asked to rewrite it.

• No IC posting outside of the game (except in designated areas), and no OOC posting in the game.

• Absolutely NO god-modding what-so-ever. God-modding is where you control another player's character in your play. It does not matter how small the action is, this is a huge no. The only time this is allowed is when the player gives you full permission to control their character and this arrangement is agreed upon by a Moderator. This can also include your character knowing information that they would not know but you do.
  
  Example: Player A tells Player B in Out of Character chat that Character A has killed someone. Player B then makes Character B go hunting for Character A to kill them for their crimes. In sucha case, Character B would have no idea that Character A did it, but since the player knew they forced their character to know.

• No God-like characters, at all. We want everyone to have a good time here, and they can't if one person is completely unstoppable or all powerful.

• Yes, Yes... I know you have the ability to change you're text color on you're posts here. Please, please do NOT abuse this! If you absolutely MUST use that function, use it SPARINGLY! Changing your font color for the whole of your post is perfectly fine, but changing every letter, not okay. And for the love of whatever powers you believe in NO, Absolutely NO StIckY KeYs And Definitely NO L33T 5p34|< Clear? None. Nada. Zip. (There is no reason to do these things in game anyways! LoL)

• Check in. Since this RPG is so small, we require every player we have or the entire thing will stall out. Players must check in every 3 days, regardless of whether or not they are in game play. This is to reduce any chances of a needed character not being available.

• Absences. If you are going to be absent for more than 3 days, please post in the required thread, or contact one of the Moderators to let them know what character you play and how long you'll be gone. This is so we can arrange for someone else to control your character while you are gone.

• Adult Content. It is a requirement that you clearly label ALL Adult content RP, it would be helpful if you were to put a rating as well. This must be clear in the SUBJECT LINE. While this is an adult forum, not everyone will want to read all levels of RP. Be considerate of this.
