Some basic rules for posting in the world, to help the flow and fairness of the story.
1. When posting, try to maintain control of only your character, and NPCs (Unless said NPC is under temp. control of another user). If you must control another Player Character for conversational, or plot movement reasons, do so briefly and try to perform it in a way that is loyal to the original owners style. Furthermore, all original owners of characters have the right to request a change or edit to the portion of the post containing their characters. Disputes will be settled by Mods.
2. Attempt to keep posts organized in their correct topics of setting, this helps keep the story flowing smoothly and stops complications in reading from arising.
3. When moving from one topic to another, please use the following guidelnes:
Moving TO a topic: At the bottom of your final post in the current topic, place the following text spanning at LEAST halfway across the text box: ----------- To *Topic Name Here* ---------
Arriving FROM a topic: At the top of your newest post in the topic, or the first post if it is a new topic, place the following text spanning at least halfway across the text box:
---------------- From **Topic name here*-----------------
4. Player vs. Player combat (Whether this be main characters, or NPC villains) is allowed, and is controlled SOLELY by the parties involved. No dice rolling, random number generators, etc. are used to determine hits and misses. Knowing this, please attempt to keep things honorable and fair, you are not allowed to have your character dodge every blow thrown, and land only unblockable hits. If a player begins to fight or act unfairly, a mod will intervene upon request.
5. There are NO restrictions on content. All words are allowed, such as swears and such. (Note, this is ONLY within the canon of the story, directly using insults, swears or racism against another user is grounds for possible moderation). Word minimums, and maximums do not exist, so feel free to make your posts as long or short as needed. Any and all content is allowed, including adult oriented content, if requested by enough users a warning may be issued before any explicit content.
