[ R u l e s ]

We are fairly laid back and don't force these rules down your throat so feel free to have some leeway here and there concerning things NOT listed below. Everything below is a MUST but other little things, you can be creative about. We don't mind.

``General Rules``

*Avoid cussing, especially IC unless you have a particular reason or your character is...a potty mouth.

*Respect everyone on the site, especially the staff members.

*Try to get on at least twice a week so the threads and plots can continue at a good pace.

*Keep all heated arguments and fights to PM--do not argue on the chat boards. We don't want to hear about it, ok?

*There will be no discussing of sex, drugs, etc. Absolutely no pornography. {Mature threads are another matter addressed later.}

*Don't be stupid--this is an open website. Don't give out personal information, and don't ask for it - it will earn you an INSTANT BAN!

*If you're going away for three days or more, please be kind and notify us by posting in the away board or PMing one of the admins!

``Posting Rules``

*This is a literate site, so in roleplay please write at least 400 words. It isn't hard. Describe your characters feelings, the surroundings, what your character had for breakfast, anything! Be creative!

*Do not use chatspeak in roleplay, and YoU mAy NeVeR tAlK lIkE tHiS. It's annoying x.x

*No double-posting, please. If you have something to add to a conversation, you can just edit your post beforehand.

*It's alright if you roleplay in more than one board at once, but if you've replied to too many threads, not leaving room for anyone else too, then there will be a limit set up. So don't ruin it for everyone! Just be fair. Alrighty? Good. Oh! Be sure to roleplay with more than just one person! This site's activity depends on it, and, the plot does too.

``Roleplaying Rules``

*No God-moding or Powerplaying, meaning you cannot act as if your charrie is all-powerful, nor may you play another person's character.

*If you want to say something OOC while you are roleplaying, indicate it by putting (( )) around the words or OOC: before them.

``Bios``

*Keep your canon charries to their roles as best you can.

* No real people are allowed. Only anime face claims please. [Not pokemon. >.>]

*no outside espers, aliens or time travelers are currently being accepted. PM an admin if you reeeeeeally want to be one of the above.

*You can have as many characters as you wish but if you cannot keep all of them active, some will be removed.

``Mature Threads``

*These are only EVER to be posted in the appropriate board which can be found under the name 'Mature'. We do not need the forum littered with trash. >.>

*These threads may only go up to a certain point. It MUST fade to black and nothing is to ever be described intricately

*The contents of these threads will often be checked on by staff members and we may at any point close or lock the thread without warning if it is felt that you have gone too far.

*Before posting such a thread, it must be approved by an admin - not a mod or otherwise. An admin. Brigade members especially are asked not to participate in such threads unless it has been thoroughly discussed with an admin.
