1. Proper grammar and spelling is a must. All posts that are not well-written will be deleted.

2. SPECIFICALLY STATE THE SETTING OF THE RP IN THE ORIGINAL POST. Yes. Which means Hosts MUST give a definitive description of the starting area of the RP, Hotdog Adventures in Hamburger Land will not be allowed.

3. Posts must be at least 40 words long.

4. No more than one character is to be controlled within any givin post with a max of 2 main characters per thread.

5. You may not control another character without their express permission for ANY reason.

6. A main character cannot be killed unless they allow it.

7. No godding. You are NOT all powerful.

8. While flaming in character is allowed, there are certain restrictions. Flaming cannot be discriminitory towards any real-world race, religion, philosophy, gender, or sexual preference.

9. Profanity is allowed, but there are restrictions to keep it artful. First off, the member that posts the thread must get permission from a moderator and include reasoning for the profanity to be allowed. Second, the member that posts the thread must indicate that there is to be profanity in the thread in the subject line. Third, the member that posts the thread must state that they wish for profanity to be allowed in that thread, and any restrictions that they wish to impose must be followed. Fourth, the F-word is not to be used under any circumstances. Finally, any profanity with a sexual meaning must be used in a general context, never in a sexual one (e. g., a character can call another character a dickhead, but cannot use the profanity to tauntingly tell an opponent to "suck dick").

10. Read all announcements and stickies before posting and check often for updates. They are there to help you become better RPers.

11. All roleplays will be closed after 4 weeks of inactivity. This helps keep the forums more organized.

12. If the said roleplay does not reach the general standard of the Roleplaying section, it will either be closed or the topic starter will be given things to fix about the roleplay to fix, if s/he doesn't comply within' a certain amount of time, the topic will be closed

13. All roleplays which have been locked because of failing to meet standards will be deleted within' 7 days of locking, this is to keep all the spam off this forum for good.


Dueling Rules
Note: Duels are not suggested for beginning forum Roleplayers.

These are the basic guidlines that should be followed for any duel. Not set in stone, but a decent guide to make for a better duel:

1- In you first post state:
->Where duel takes place
->When the duel takes place
->Whether Magic is permitted
->Whether NPC's are permitter
->Who you are challenging
->Your character and possibly a brief bio

2- Always remember that you cannot directly influence another character, therefor you cannot kill a character unless you put them into a situation they cannot avoid.

3- You are not all powerful!

4- Other members should not post in Duel because they are private and do not need spectators. Watching them progress can be interesting, but please do not comment without good reason.


Punishments

1. The most common punishment will be a verbal warning. If you do not shape up after receiving this warning you will receive either a permanent or temporary ban from the RP forum.
2. Your posts may occasionally be deleted. You will be PMed asking you to rewrite it.
3. If after receiving a ban from the roleplay forum you continue posting you will receive an official warning. Check the official OnRPG rules for more information about warnings.
