RULES AND GUIDELINES

► BOARD RULES

★ No powerplay, no metagame and no godmodding. Do not make it all about you and your characters; you are not the only person writing here.

★ Remember the golden rule: Do to others what you would have them do to you. This also means being tolerant and keeping negative behavior IC where it belongs. Show respect in all manners, from language to being at least tolerant of other people's beliefs. This goes both ways, however: Do not push your beliefs and stances on other people.

★ We have no word count or site level. We welcome both experienced and inexperienced members.

★ We do not force people to thread with each other. We understand that people have preferences. This does not mean you can purposely exclude people. Similarly, do not nag people for posts, threads or replies. Remember that everyone replies at their own pace.

► CHATBOX RULES

★ Please keep plotting out of the chat box as much as possible. Do not spam or clog the chat. Give everyone a chance to feel included.

★ The chat box is meant to be a place for fun chatter and free discussion. We do not allow flaming, spamming or discriminating messages towards anyone.

► THREAD AND CHARACTER RULES

★ You can have as many or as few threads as you'd like. You can choose to have several ongoing threads.

★ We go by realistic time here. This means that whatever happens in thread A, has already happened in thread B, but what happens in thread B, has not yet happened in thread A. The same goes for dates - if the thread is made on a Saturday, it's happening on a Saturday. You can be flexible with the time of day, though.

★ For past and future threads, be sure to mark these as such.

★ We'd like for those who choose to play characters with mental illnesses and/or traumatizing stories, be it having killed/hurt someone, being abused in some form or another, or something similar, to do the proper research on the field. We're not in any way discouraging this from being included in your character's life, but we do ask that this is being properly read up on and written both maturely and realistically.

► GENERAL RULES

★ When it comes to making new characters, we have no set rules on the process of this. You can make as many characters as you want, without having to wait a certain amount of days or have a certain amount of posts. However, we still expect you to keep your characters active, and therefore the staff reserves the right to stop you from making more characters until you've made your current ones active.

★ We want to make sure that all positions and claims are available for people, so if you haven't posted with your character for 30 days, your character will get retired.

★ We do not delete any threads or accounts here.

★ If you're going to leave for a while, please leave us an absence note.

★ Please be mindful of trigger sensitive topics and mark your threads with a trigger warning if needed. Fade to black, skip ahead as the clothes come off and hands go down below the waist. The same goes for violence. PG-13 scenes are allowed.

★ Make sure to read through the offered information regarding mutant abilities before writing up your ability. The first part of the document contain the needed information, and the rest shows suggestions to what kind of powers we're looking for, but is not limited to the ones listed.

★ Remember to properly balance your power with limitations and side-effects. Each strong point should have a weak point.

★ The staff reserves the right to ask a member to change or scrap a power if we feel as if the member in question doesn't understand the power they're writing.

► FACE CLAIMS

★ All face claims under the age of thirteen is not allowed.

★ As long as a person is considered famous (paid to have their pictures taken; YouTube celebrities count), you can use them, though the Staff reserves the right to judge on a case by case basis.

★ All play by's/face claims must be real life people, so we don't allow any anime/or no face claim at all

► LAST WORDS

Remember. TALK TO THE STAFF, we're here for you! We're committed to making this site a fun and open place for everyone but this cannot work if you don't follow the rules or you don't talk with the staff. We're always willing to make changes provided they work well for the site. Most importantly if they work for everyone. We want you guys to be in an environment where you can have fun, after all.
