The Rules

[Shadeflight]

OCC Rules

x.1 -- There will be no fighting or flamewars on this site. A flamewar is like an enourmous argument that causes an uproar. Hardly anyone enjoys fighting that isn't a good debate, so let's keep the fighting/arguments/flamewars to a minimum, mm'kay?

x.2 -- There is to be no chatspeaking here. If you chatspeak and you want to join, you'll have to pull it together 'cause chatspeak doesn't cut it with roleplaying. You could join only for Out of Character things, but even there it's preferred that you do not use chatspeak. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, here are some examples of chatspeak:
"R u thar?"
"ttyl"
"g2g"
etc. Please don't use that sort of typing-style here. It makes everything simpler to read and understand without it.

x.3 -- You may not spam here under any circumstances, other than perhaps a game that requires you to do so. Spam is pointlss and stupid. It serves no purpose here, let alone anywhere more like, other than to slow down members' computers when the member encounters it. So please do not spam.

Shadeflight: FINE. DON'T TALK TO ME. BYE D;

See how annoying that seems? Try not to do that, and you'll be safe.

x.4 -- No impersonation. If you are impersonating someone, it means you are taking their name and pretending to be them. This is a serious matter and you WILL be banned if caught. The staff team can track down your IP addresses so don't try anything stpid. First time you are caught, depending on whether it was a joke or not, you will receive a warning of 25%. But if the first time you're caught and it WASN'T a joke, you'll be banned completely.

x.5 -- Language is not an issue here. This means if you want to, you may swear. However, it'd be preferred to keep swearing to a minimum, especially the F word. Also, please be respectful about it. If someone around you asks you to not swear, such as if you are in the Cbox, then please do not swear while they are there so they don't have to deal with it. However, swearing is not necessary at all in roleplaying considering a cat doesn't know the swear words anyway.

IC Rules

x.1 -- You will not do any powerplaying while you are roleplaying here unless given permission to do so ahead of time. For example, killing off a character that does not even belong to you is powerplaying without the saying so of the owner of the character you are killing. It's unacceptable and you will receive a 25% warning if you are caught powerplaying. So get permission first!
x.2 -- There will be no godmodding at ANY time. This is when you go invincible, say growing wings to flee from battle when you are about to die. If you are caught, you will be given a 25% warning. If you are caught three more times, you will be banned from roleplaying. If you roleplay WHILE you are banned from it, you will be banned from the site in general for three days to a week.
x.3 -- You may as many character as your heart desires. Just remember who they are and keep track of them. Make sure that when you're roleplaying, they are not in more than one thread. This will keep roleplays safe and unharmed when you keep track of your characters.
x.4 -- Try to refrain from liquid-timing. If you can, please don't do it at all. But if you must, you may. Liquid-timing is having the same character in two or more roleplays at once. You may put the same character in two roleplays if you want to, but it's best not to so that we can all avoid a plot being messed up. What if there was a patrol and your cat was in it, but then your same cat was in a different area nearby where the patrol was going? It wouldn't make much sense, would it? That's why this rule is in affect.

Now that you have read the rules, I hope that you can help us enforce them for the good of this site. Be careful and follow them! Thank you for taking the time to read this thread.
