In order to mantain a friendly and fun atmosphere on the forum, we ask you to observe a few simple rules. These simple guidelines are designed to ensure that the roleplay moves forward easily and stays fun for everyone involved. Please keep in mind that the rules may be subject to minor changes if and when needed.
1. Keep it fun.
This is the most important rule of all. This site is intended for Recreational use. Petty conflicts, fights and bickering are discouraged above all else. If you are not having fun it is your choice to be here or not. We the staff hope that you all enjoy your time on this forum, and as long as you look to have mutual fun with others then other problems should not arise.
2. No Godmodding
Part of keeping the Roleplay fun is to make sure you focus on character development and story rather than seeing who has 'better Rp skills'. Because of this we ask that RP is handled fairly by both parties. Unreasonably dodging every attack or auto-hitting is frowned upon. If a dispute arises in this area the parties involved are encouraged to PM a Mod or Admin. The staff is here to help. If you have a question about what constitutes Godmodding please ask the staff.
3. Don't spam.
Its a very simple. Any advertisements, Harassing PMs or other spam will be dealt with accordingly. Again this is a forum to have fun for everybody. If you can't be civil you can't be here.
4. Two paragraph minimum post.
Its may be offputting for some but part of keeping the roleplaying going is to ensure that everyone posts enough content to work from. If you are going to make a post please try to ensure that you give two solid paragraphs of content. This is considered a reasonable minimum standard for forum RP. Please keep this in mind.
5. Stay active.
Or keep us informed if you cannot be. If you need to be gone for a length of time please post it in the appropriate OOC thread including reasons for being inactive. If these reasons are private please at least let us know the estimated duration. A prolonged absence without good reason given could result in loss of canon characters or being skipped over in post order.
6. Space out your trances.
Unless under extreme conditions please try to limit your trances to at least once per thread. This is naturally suspended if one thread takes place over a prolonged period of time, however because of the nature of a trance it is imperative that the power of a trance is not abused. Furthermore it is best to limit a trance to at most five posts before the duration expires. This is again a rule of thumb designed to help keep balance between various characters.
7. No sex
This Forum is PG-13. A kiss or hold of the hand between characters is perfectly fine, however anything more be it overt or strongly implicit shall result in at least a sever warning or potentially a pertinent ban based on the severity of offense. The best rule of thumb in this instance is that if you would not see it in an FF game, then you should not be posting it in this forum.
8. Have fun
It is worth stating again. More than anything this forum is about having a good time for everyone involved. So sit back, relax, and enjoy yourself.
