&& roleplaying rules

first
All posts in the game area are in character. Period. Any out of character talking should happen at the beginning or the end of your post and should be in double brakets. Any varriation of (( OOC )) is fine.

second
There is absolutley no god-modding anywhere on the board. You are only in control of your own character. If you think that someone's character should react a certain way then tell them don't assume what their character does. If you are going to kill your character, or get them pregnant, raped, etc this must be okayed with your roleplaying partner.

third
We do not allow perfect Mary-Sue characters. That means your character cannot be perfect. Besides, it is much more fun when your character has glaring flaws.

fourth
Play your character as consistently as possible. Please do not say that your character hates carrots and then make them eat them every day (unless they have to and they always fight it). You know what I am saying here.

fifth
Epic Steam is rated PG13. There are no exceptions. Roleplaying anything beyond a PG13 rating violates the ToS set by Proboards.

sixth
You are allowed to retire your characters. If you no longer have a muse for your character and would like to retire them, simply PM an admin and we will retire them for you. Do not just stop posting with the account! It's messy.


&& ooc rules

first
If at any time you harass anyone else on this board, you will recieve a warning from the staff. The second time it happens, you will be banned for no shorter than three days. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, flaming, trolling, bashing, etc.

second
The staff are human, so help us out and tell us when you think that something needs fixing or improved. We love to hear your opinions. However badgering the staff is never appriciated.

third
You may format your name any way that you like, as long as it includes your character's first and last name.

fourth
If you are going to be gone for more than a week, please post and tell us so. If you do not post for two weeks (even if you get on) your account will be marked inactive. If you're having trouble finding people to roleplay with, please please talk to us, and we can help you out!

fifth
You may have as many accounts as you think that you can handle, but each character must be on a seperate account.

sixth
Your avatar should be 100x100, nothing smaller, nothing bigger. Please do not just link a bigger image, it looks terrible. Try Hollow-Art or resize it. If you can't resize it yourself, you can ask one of the staff to help.

seventh
Signatures should be no wider than 500px. Recommended heigh is no more than 300px, but if the staff thinks that it is too big, we will ask you to take it down. The 300px includes any text around your signature.

eighth
Your play by must be a human being. Anime is great, but it is not for this forum. If you need help finding a play by, check Hollow-Art or ask in the CBox for help. The admins know lots of great play-bys as do our members.
