So guys, I just figured I'd make something irrevocably clear. The people who this applies to either will click this by nature of the name, or not read it at all because they think they don't have to read the basic things we tell everyone to read at every corner of the group.

What "trying to be slick" is:
There's several forms of this.

  • Trying to hack in abilities to be Da Bess more than everyone.
  • Trying to avoid the approval system to not have to follow the same rulebook as everyone.
  • Trying to add extra things to your profile after being approved and hoping we don't double check or notice.


But the fun thing is: I'm not retarded. I'm amused at people who think we're retarded, and we like to humor you in letting you think we're retarded because it isn't us it bites in the ass later - it's the people who assume the people they play with are retarded. We know who has and hasn't properly gotten themselves approved. I screenshot final approved templates and put them in folders, because I've been doing this a long time. I weigh and measure balances, which is why we have an approved monster list. We have a hidden staff section loaded with tracking potential problem behaviors. If this makes you nervous, I invite you to consider why.

Just because we don't flag you down and make a giant drama bomb out of making you pro-actively comply doesn't mean we don't notice. It means we'll call it when we see it and it becomes relevant. I don't care if you played your thing in Pathfinder or Warhammer or VtM. You're in the Supernaturalverse. If you want something beyond the basic bitch werewolf or vampire or whatever there is in SPN, you're going to have to go through the approval process. Your approval will be discussed as to maintain room balance and it will be screenshotted in final approved form. If you have not been approved, and declare yourself X Thing, the admins will apply the most basic template of that species from Supernatural. They will not be treated as Alphas, or Uber Generationals, or anything else.

It is far more in your interest to engage with the admins who try to greet you. Don't try to brush them off and say you don't need anything and think you can super-slickly hack in playing a Demon Uber King just because we don't chase you down and paddle your ass like a nun in catholic school. The second an unapproved demon template goes to war, you're classed and handled in combat as a basic level demon.

I'm just using common races in this example we see lots of examples of. But when it comes down to it, the same goes for even original monster breeds. I've worked with people to properly template things that don't exist yet in SPN. But if they tried to bypass that? Enjoy being cracked with the closest applicable template when you try to engage with the crowd.

We try to maintain a canon feeling balance here instead of turning into the sty most other SPN universes do by trying to pander to every vaguely fantasy based setting ever. We will do everything we can to work with you. But that implies you wanting to work with us, and we're not going to chase you down like we're trying to herd cats, to accomplish it.
