This is the current list of rules. New rules may be added in the future.
- Read Everything: The setting, the Q&A, the rules (you know, these things), the sample app, all the instruction on the application page- even recent stuff in the communities and the community friends page. Read it all.
- No godmodding: This one should be a given, honestly. There aren't many games out there that allow this kind of behavior.
- No character death: You can maim your character, cause them vast mental scarring- but you can not kill them (No really- the physics of Empty Earth don't allow characters to die). If you decide you need to drop then drop- we (the mods) will think up a reason that your character has suddenly vanished.
- No persons under the age of sixteen: This is more of a personal preference. I know that maturity isn't based on age, but many people really just aren't comfortable in a game with people younger than that- especially people who, like some of the mods, work in childcare.
- Behave in a courteous manner: Be nice to the other players- even ones you really don't like. If you have a problem with someone consult the mods and we'll do our best to help work it out. This game is meant to be as drama-free and fun as possible.
- You must post either a log or a journal entry every two weeks: This means a log/post for each character you have. If you won't be able to do this please contact the moderators at emptyearthmod@gmail.com. We have a three-strike policy. If your character is inactive three times then that character will be dropped and you will not be allowed to reapply.
- The identities of the moderators are to be kept secret: Yes, it will probably be easy to figure out after awhile. We might even tell you who we are ourselves, if we like and trust you enough. But to avoid a lot of potential drama and enjoy playing more we've decided not to make our identities public, so please respect that.
- Keep the crack minimal: Humor is just fine, but keep in mind that we aren't going for an all-out crackfest with this game. If crack is what you want there are plenty of other games out there that you can join.
- Be respectful: This game will be open to all kinds of relationships, both straight and homosexual. If you can't handle that please don't even bother joining.
- On the subjects of relationships: they are not the main point of the game. Yes they are nice, but please try to let them develop gradually.
