General Rules
Respect the other members of the game. We ask that you try to be civil to one another. This means that no character bashing or offensive comments should be present out of character. If there is a problem, please talk to one of the mods.
Out of character does not equal in character. Just because your characters are arch enemies, doesn’t mean you guys can’t get along. Remember that a character’s views don’t necessarily equal a player’s views. This rule also applies to information. If you know something as a player that doesn’t mean your character knows it.
Don’t GodMod. If your character is acting in a way that affects another, contact that character’s player. You are only playing your character, not anyone other player's character.
Any NC-17 material must be locked and under cuts with proper warnings! Sexual activity will not be allowed in-comm with characters that are under the age of 18. Take it off site or hand wave, please. Likewise do not play out sexual content with players under the age of 18. That is illegal. You can get both this game and yourself into major trouble.
Discuss plots beforehand. If you plan to run a plot that will affect a large group, let other players know about it. If you plan to run a plot that affects the course or setting of the game, kills off any character, or contains questionable content, talk to a mod first.
Activity Checks will be held once a month. To pass AC, you must have either: one post with that character, have responded to another character's log post that spanned at least ten comments, or have responded to another character's main comm post that spanned at least fifteen comments. Activity will be based on timestamps instead of in-game dates so backdated material is acceptable so long as it's not abused (for example - using the same log/thread in AC more than once).
Posting Rules
The Main comm is for first person style. This is as if the character was the one talking, or writing. Third person descriptions can be used, but only if put in brackets or otherwise made different from the talking or text.
Post only once a day per character in the Main comm. This is to avoid spamming the page with posts by only one person. To be clear, you do not have to post once a day, but do not post more than that.
Specify the type of post or response. Are they texting? Shooting a video? Something else? You do not have to have it written in the subject line (though that is advised) but please let it be known somewhere in the post so other players can respond accordingly.
The Logs community is for third person style. This is where two or more characters are reacting to each other as though they were in the same area.
Tag your posts. When you are accepted to the game we will ask what you want your tag to look like for that character. This should be used to tag that character’s posts. You may also tag into another player’s post in the Logs comm when your character is responding. There should only be one tag per post in the main comm.
Rate log posts. Check the MPAA rating guide if you are not sure about the content of your post.
Posts are not filtered to more than 10 people. Please note somewhere within the post to whom the post is filtered to or from. There may be exceptions to the rule if the character is unusually good with technology but that will require speaking to a mod first. Filters do not have to be used.
The OOC comm is for out of character posts. This includes things like introductions, announcing hiatuses, and general plot discussions. The Spam comm is for memes, and general silliness.
MechanicsThis game works in real time. AKA, one day in the real world=one day in the game world. However, back tagging is allowed and encouraged to help players with time constraints.
Your characters lose their home world powers and magic abilities. If it is impossible to do in the real world, it is impossible in the game world too. However, skills that can learned by normal people can be kept. For example, Superman can no longer fly, but Batman will still be a black belt in martial arts.
Each character has only one persona. Not even the protagonists from the Persona video games will be allowed to switch between different Personas. Once you get one, that’s that.
No one can enter dungeons alone. At least one other character must be there. No more than five can go into together.
No more than five floors are climbed in one night. The number of floors a group can climb is based on the number of people in that group. If three people go, three floors can be climbed. This does not count floors climbed on previous nights.
