Site Rules [Must Read]

Site Rules and Regulations:

God Modding - (Noun, English Modern)

Passive:
The act of creating or playing with an invincible character with limitless power, etc. Some players will create a brand new character, and that character is automatically gifted with skills, and nearly impossible to take on right from the start. This happens when a newer character goes against an established one, and the newer character god-mods themselves as if they've been around the same length of time.


Active: When you decide the outcome of your attack or action without giving your opponent a chance to react or controlling a player you haven't got the right to.

Auto Hitting

The act of making decisions and/or actions for the target of your roleplay. Example: Player A sends a round house kick careering into Player B's jaw, a sound of shattering bones accompanies the scream of Player B as his jaw is broken on impact.
Acts such as this are highly dishonorable and are the worst form of godmodding that can be performed.

Powerplaying

The act of constant regeneration and/or dodging of attacks and actions etc. This is commonly found in battle-situation role-plays. Classifications such as these are usually only used by the more experienced roleplayers, usually to be only used after a certain level of experience is reached. Acts such as this are not entirely dishonorable, for they are hard to notice, however this classification usually halts the Storyline from advancing any further, making the story both unfair and simply not fun. Example: After being struck by the blade aiming for his jugular Player A would immediately use his anti-matter shield to regenerate within a matter of seconds.

Meta-Gaming

This when someone uses OOC gained information IC normally to gain advantage. For example Player A has a fear of cheese and suddenly Player B pulls out a piece of cheese when player A hasn't told him his fear is cheese. A less serious but equally annoying example is when people use your name when your character hasn't told them it.

Acts are usually taken against auto hitting to a high extremity level. Being that it is very dishonorable and highly unfair, to a level where you can refuse to roleplay with people/role-players who god mod or ignore the attack. If such a thing happens PM one of the Fruits Basket Staff and state in your RP:
"auto hit ignored in your post."

Powermodding, however, is very hard to avoid. Being that some role-players do not notice, and power playing is very hard to detect. Some people would think they are being completely fair, when in reality they are not. Remember to check your opponents stats so you know what they are capable of when sparring or fighting with them.

Flaming

Attacking someone in OOC about something personal not as a character or IC.

Using Unapproved Things

Things are approved for a reason, so god mod characters can be weeded out and edited. Only if a topic has had no mod/admin examine it after 3 days may you send a PM or bump it.

Spamming

Posting frequent unnecessary topics or comments to increase their post count. You will be warned and the continual breaking of this rule as with all the others will lead to suspension and if it carries on, a full ban.

One Line Role Play

This reflects very very poor RP skills and will be what your ability will be based on, the bigger the post the better but just make sure there is at least reasonable detail. You need to be descriptive with your RP and you MUST have at least 30 words in each RP post.

Multiple Accounts

This enables you to concentrate more on one character. Don't even try to create two or more, i can find out by your IP address if you don't like your current character and would like to create a new one just PM and admin, you can make a new one and they'll delete your old one.

Fast Tracking

Users who think just because they believe their originally make their characters super strong in one status before even coming to the site and boosting the rest of us how powerfully they are or act overpowered from just starting here. EVER ONE SHARES THE SAME LEVEL ONE STATUS WHEN THEY MAKE IT HERE. No one is ultra power or supper fast right away you need to build up in the site history and respect the users that have been here longer, they have already developed their characters well enough to most likely be a very hard challenge to the other players that have not been here as long.


Other Rules

Swearing

Since it is a part of everyday life it will be allowed but not excessively. we don't want to see every single one of your posts with you cussing in it.

Inappropriate Content

This is not a porn site, nor a drugs site or a horror site. we do not want to see any pictures showing sex, drugs or excessive gore. Also, please don't RP sex scenes. Do it in PM and if you really have to, put " The scene goes black" signifying it.

Proper English

No text talk most certainly. Spelling mistakes we allow for and grammar too but please try your best to get these right again you RP looks better and you get more stars.

Respect

You need to respect all mods and admins, they have been allocated their positions for a reason. This is not a site that has mods for the sake of mods or mods because they know the owner. You will only get a mod position if you prove to us you deserve it. So respect that they have earned their position and if you get on well with them you'll get on well with all of us.


Basically...

You CANNOT use your item without approval.

No copying other people's creations. Be original.

Be descriptive. The more detailed and clear it is, the quicker it gets processed and the quicker you can use it.

No godmod abilities.

All creationss MUST be approved before you can use them.

ALWAYS use the template, if you don't it won't get approved.
