Yes, everyone dreads them, but they're needed just in case there are those that feel the need to abuse systems (although funnily enough, we have next-to, if not, none) or just do things because we don't specifically say "Don't do that" even though common sense and literally everything else ever says not to. Anywho, I hate doing this and it honestly makes me want to stab myself with rusty forks, so how about we get this out of the way? I'm not even going to format this pretty with text. Okay that might be a lie. -TrubbishGuy, your beloved RULER WITH AN IRON FIST Admin.
Rules
- First off, don't be a jerk OOC. Everyone loves reading about Or'loc, the Space Bully, but nobody likes seeing disrespect outside of the IC Forums. This won't be tolerated.
- What Admins say, goes. I feel I'll be pretty lenient over eh, just about everything. However I will step in to say "No, don't do that" or "Actually I won't allow that". If I say to fix something (And I don't say "this is a suggestion or something similar) that doesn't mean argue with it until I quit. If you do believe you have a point, feel free to try showing me that point, however I normally will not budge, and you might as well just change it. This also goes with any ruling calls.
BUTTS! Be PG-13 with your writing. What does this mean exactly? No obsessive gore. While I will be a TAD bit lenient on this one, we don't need to know that Or'loc the Space Bully ripped out someone's stomach through their teeth in full details. Again, I will be lenient, and if you were to at least post a warning, I'd probably be chill with it. But gorn is gorn, and thus should be taken as such. Also, no sex. Sexual themes are permitted, however nobody wants to read your smut between characters, and if they did, do that in PMs (or off this forum, that'd be best). I'll be lenient on sexual themes (say, discussing how good the Whote from Sector-Gamma Region 23 is at giving head), however if anything ever gets explicit, it will be deleted off the site immediately.
- In response to my previous rule, this isn't exactly a 'rule', but a suggestion. Be tasteful. Sure, you can get away with saying the word "Shit" in every three sentences, but if it's not needed, don't include it. Same with any sexual references/themes, and violence. Just don't say things for the sake of saying things, and your writing won't look like absolute garbage.
- Stick to Character! Please! K? K.
- No God-Modding either. This is a freeform site, meaning no stats (yay!) but the problem with that is that some people can God-Mod easier. Every character has weaknesses. You cannot be an invincible, bulky, creature with nothing wrong with you. You just aren't fun then, ever. Hopefully this will be taken out by species having weaknesses, although this will still be monitored. If your character is ever unfairly powerful (or you're playing them as more powerful than they actually are) you will be spoken to.
- Lore! Do NOT play against the lore! If you're thinking "Eh, I don't like this. I can twist this fact", YOU CANNOT! I will mark your entire Post, which probably took you and someone else a long time to write up to finish, completely invalid if you completely twist around things. Now, if you have a reason to make sense of the rare occasion, I'll let it pass, and if you want to change lore (you don't believe that a Mamorignis should be only purple or green! Or something similar) or add to it, there's a section for that. This is encouraged, and should ALWAYS be looked at. Look more at the below rule.
- Lore, always add to it! We want to build to the database of things with Wanderers RP, and because of this, we will be looking for MORE LORE! Now, the people in charge of making up the Lore and adding to the world you all know and love (the lovely admin team) cannot always make everything so amazing and beautiful, so we ask that each and every one of you put time and effort into adding to the lore! This isn't needed, but it would help out the site big time. Also, if you do add to the lore, have fun with it, and make sure it's not a drag.
- Characters! You may have an unlimited number of characters. However, it is asked that you keep them all nice and organized, and whatnot. That's really all. Go hog wild.
- Characters in threads! Ah, so, say your character in two threads at once. Impossible, right? Because of time and all? WRONG! I mean, technically yes but in this, no. If you would like, you may have your characters in unlimited! (But I suggest like 6 tops) threads. However, if you do this it is highly recommended (and you should have one anyway because they are fantastic) that you have a Character Tracker. These basically are just for you to organize when your threads happened in chronological order, so you can basically make a timeline of your threads to make a story! Awesome, right?!
- Update things! If not, at least tell an admin to. Nobody wants outdated info, and if it's for you alone, it's still good to update just to keep track of your own characters.
- Uhhh. There's probably more stuff I'll add later. But for now, just have fun! Oh, and use common sense. Kthnxbai
