RULES
RULE #1. Our rating is PG-13, as per Proboards rules. Violence, cursing, and sexual situations are fine, just as long as things don't get too explicit. We're all adults here, we can guess what's going to get the site taken down, so let's just avoid doing that, okay? We don't need all of that explicit stuff to have fun anyway, we have space cowboys.
RULE #2. You can register with anything, but when your begin to make your app, please change your name to your character's name in all lowercase. How much name you put up doesn't really bother me, and you can put up your character's alias if you want, just make sure it's lowercase, okay? Only staff gets uppercase.
RULE #3. Our wordcount here is 150, which is incredibly easy, I know. But we're not trying to put pressure on anybody. Of course, there's no maximum wordcount, you can go as crazy as you want there. However, the main reason the wordcount is so low is so that it's easy to remain active. Try to post at least twice a week. Let's keep this alive!
RULE #4. No Godmodding or Gary/Mary Sues! Everyone here probably knows this already, but I might as well put it up again. Basically, don't control another player's character unless you have permission (always give them the chance to counter or react), and don't make perfect characters. There are many different kinds of Mary Sues too, not just the extra perfect ones, but I'm not going to list them for you. Just make a believable character, and it'll be fine.
RULE #5. Generally, this site isn't Death Enabled, which means you can't go around just randomly killing off other peoples characters. That leads to all sorts of problems. Even bounties are only liable if they bring in the guy alive. If you have a murderous character, just remember to plan things out well, so you don't end up in a thread where you have to come up with some magical reason why your character wouldn't kill another. Just keep it in mind. That being said, feel free to kill off as many NPC characters that you want, we have plenty.
EDIT: If you and your rp partner want to have a Death Enabled thread, and you both have worked it out so that it won't cause any disagreements, then you may do so. Death of another's character is also allowed if they are purposely killing that character off. Note though, that if it starts an argument, the staff will lock and retcon that thread.
RULE #6. Make a separate account for each character. There are no character limits, but try to be active with all of them, okay?
RULE #7. Graphic sizes. The avatars are a lovely 200x300 pixels, because I love that size. It's difficult to find images in that size, but you can make them yourself, using some sites like pixlr.com, or you can ask me or another member to make one for you. Please don't use 100x100. Also, signatures should just not stretch the board, and neither should post templates. Keep it within 600px width.
RULE #8. Let's be cool, have fun, and make this site work!
