These are the rules of this forum, please read them before you read anything else.
Rule 1: Be nice.
This ones easy all you need to do is be pleasant to everyone else on the forum, so be kind, polite, offer constructive criticism and don't be mean. If anyone is being a bit of a tw*t to you or anyone please PM a member of staff.
Rule 2: Grammar.
If you're writing an RP post then please try write at least one paragraph, it gives the next person something to work with rather than just one line. This isn't that hard, just throw in some adjectives, adverbs, what your character is thinking. Also, use proper grammar and spelling, there's a "Spell Check" button underneath click on that and it'll start correcting your spelling. Obviously it'll think some words, like alien names, are wrong so use your own judgement. One more thing, please write in third person (Karen picked up her bag) rather than first person (I picked up my bag) and don't write it is a script, regular paragraphing.
Rule 3: RP properly
In other words don't go around God-Modding everything, read the last posts and then post accordingly, don't force other players to do something drastic without PMing them to see if it's okay.
Rule 4: Listen to the staff.
We're in charge for a reason, if you're disobeying any of the rules then we will punish you for it. Also, any moderator found abusing their powers in any way, shape or form, is in serious trouble.
Rule 5: Characters.
You are allowed more than one character but the rule is your last character must have at least 30 posts under their belt, and have taken part (or be taking part) in one RP. You can make one character per season per location (one in the American branch, one in European) at the start, but each subsequent character per season requires 30 posts. Not one or the other, both. Also, if you do make a new character don't just abandon your old ones, you are allowed to kill your character off if you want to. Please register a separate account for each character.
Rule 6: Leaving
If you decide to leave the site, please let us know and arrange for your characters fates.
Rule 7: No fandom crossing
I don't want to see a Sherlock Holmes, or a Tony Stark, or anything like that. No fandom crossing, period. Make allusions, but I don't want to see like 95% personality match, same face claim, etc.
Rule 8: No Religious entities
With Joan of Arc in this, that pretty much confirms that God exists, and that's fine. By no means do I want angels or demons to start showing up, or deities from any religion. It makes things heavily imbalanced if abused. You may claim you won't abuse it, and you might not, but I still don't want to take any chances with that.
Rule 9: Historic immortals
We have two historic figures in the game already, both of them being immortals. I don't mind the idea, but I don't want this to keep becoming a thing. For the time being, this is banned.
Rule 10: Have fun.
This is the most important rule, enjoy yourself!

- Rule 3, amendment A: Auto-Hitting
Auto-hitting should be kept to a minimum if used at all. It's better not to use it, for the sake of a fair fight in which both sides can react. Just don't abuse it, such as making every attack miss your character. If you and who you're playing with have a deal or something, go ahead and auto-hit - but only if, as said, you have a deal in place, or something.

- Rule 5, amendment A: Villain Profiles
With the newly created villain profiles, the 30 rule is not necessary to follow, but only in regards to the creation of villains. You can make one profile with multiple villains in it, but you are not to make a new account for them. You can make a new account for villains if it's a single villain, or a heavily recurring character (such as Ravinn Wolf), but only with something like that.
