General Roleplaying Rules.

ルール

The following are general rules for most RPG's (Role Playing Games) and should be noted by all members.

When roleplaying, we ask that you keep a 100 word minimum. This is really not a lot at all, and if you think about it this can easily be done. In a RPG, one needs to be descriptive and detailed. It has to make sense, and frankly, I don't see how that is possible with anything under this. Even though it's quality over quantity, we want to see both.
Do not post in other people's applications, regardless of your intentions. This is only for Moderators to do. Ifyou wish to say something regarding another person's Request/Application for something, PM a Mod/Admin or the creator themselves.
When you enter a topic, make sure you can/should be in it. For example, if someone puts [Private] in a topic, make sure that you're the one that's in the Private topic. Another would be, if you're a Hollow, why would you be in the Bount Mansion?
Concerning Private topics, if you can think of a reasonable reason as to why you would be able to be there, say so and an Administrator or Moderator might allow you to be in the topic. For example, if Bob and Tim went to the woods, in a Private Topic, if Sally was following them before hand, then it would make sense if she was there too.
Do not post in the Role Playing Section before you, and all of your things, are approved. This is a very important rule, and not following it will cause consequences.
You can only be in one [1] topic at a time. It's unrealistic to be in two places at once. The only exception to this rule is if a topic you are in becomes inactive. If this is the case, you must establish a timeline within your FIRST post designating how long its been since your last. However, you can be in a Training topic and be in an RPG Topic at the same time. If there comes a point where the topic is being inactive, meaning someone is not posting, then you may go into one [1] other topic.
Obviously, your character will not stay the same throughout your time here. Your character can change but you need to follow these rules:
When you obtain a new rank, an Administrator.Mod will unlock your application and you can make changes according to the rules. PM (Private Message) an Administrator.Mod.
If you change your character around completely, you will be required to go down one rank. Keep your future in mind when you are planning out your character.
Do not randomly enter topics and make ORPG (Off RPG) posts. I do not want to see a good RP Topic interrupted by "((Hey, can I join this topic?))" No, PM the creator of the topic and ask if you can join.
Make your posts both readable and understandable. We understand that English may not be your first language, but try. I do not want to see people writing all lowercase and expect people to know what they're talking about. Use punctuation and capitilization please.
. You may only have 1 account at a time. Please do not make multipule accounts just so that you can get more characters or we will find out and you will be banned. You may have 1 character and only one. (Unless deemed by an Admin for a special reason)
Spam. Do not post spam anywhere on the site except for the Spam section in the Social Area. You will notice that beneath your avatar, in your character sheet, there is a Spam Level bar. Everytime you spam outside of the Spam area, your bar will go down by one. Spam posts may include, but are not limited to, OOC posting in RP topics (Except Moderation posts) and posting in character apps (Except Moderation posts). If you reach zero, you will be banned for 24hrs. The next time, the banning period is doubled. Etc.
. Finally, there is death. Every IRPG (In RPG) topics on this forum will have a risk of dying. This is from a simple hollow encounter to a high level battle. If you die, your character will disappear for good. That means all your former abilities and skills and anything gained until then will disappear and that you will have to start a new character, from scratch. The character will have to be two ranks lower of your previous rank (lower is also allowed). I do not want to see an exact replica of your previous character.
