1 - RULES
Rules:
1. No God-Moding. It's really self-explanatory. Don't control or assume for another character without their consent.
2. Ideas, Plots, Changes. Major plots must be run past all characters/muns that may be involved. If these plots involve the game as a whole, a mod should also be contacted to be made aware. No character death or suicide attempt. Drama is fine, but mods will keep an eye for too much drama.
3. Age Restriction. Be at least 16 years of age. Some themes might not suit younger people. We apologise.
4. Posting Limits. A minimum of two posts per calender month, as long as not on the same day. The game is nothing without you posting so lets be active and keep the game alive. Posting limit does NOT include logs and comments. They are actual journal posts.
5. Character Limits. Character limit is ZERO. This is no character limit for the time being. If you are inactive with the character you have and would like another, then become active with the ones you have. Do not pick up more characters than you can logically handle.
6. Purging. Inactivity = lack of posting and comments. Remember, twice a month at least, either journal or log. Poking will be done over mod post to the OOC community. In bad cases, a mod will PM you to see if everything is alright. Please remember to comment, post and interact with other characters. Sitting on characters will result in purging, so will too many pokings reminding you to post.
Game Play:
1. Interaction is strongly encouraged. Commenting, logging, entries that promote both.
2. Logs and such things must be posted in [pot_ljlog], nowhere else. Please use the format provided. Logging is not mandatory at this community, however.
3. If you are posting memes, picture and videos spam, placed under an LJ cut. Posts that are purely spam and no actual relevant content will not go toward your post minimum.
4. The OOC community is for your use. Talk to the other muns, plot, plan, make friends, fangirl. That said, lets not bring IC drama to OC drama, or personal history with another mun to affect the game play.
5. Try not to flock/filter posts as some muns might miss them. For posts that are too long please use cuts and label them when appropriately.
Game Notes:
1. The Story So Far: With canon as the base, this game starts 10 years after U-17. Keeping within the realms of possibility, you are allowed to do what you wish with your characters. Again, within reason. Be smart, people!
2. Adult Content: This game will contain harsh language and mature themes. If you do not think that you are grown up enough for sexual content, adult scenes and the occasional f-bomb, this is probably not the game for you.
3. Plots vs. Events:
Plots: Small stories/development involved one or more characters personal life.
Events: Mods might come up with events affecting the whole universe of the characters.
4. Drama: Allowed, but this is a game based on real life, so we recommend and prefer to keep it to a plausible level. If you think a plot has the potential to cause drama, it must be run past any and all characters/muns that may be involved. Please, post a note in the OOC community. Mods can and will step in if individual drama-laden plots are threatening to overtake the community as a whole.
Hiatus:
1. Hiatuses can last for one months. After that month, the mun will be contacted for a status update. Any hiatuses that last for longer than one month, or if there is no response to the mod inquiry by the one-month point, will result in characters being purged.
2. Semi-hiatus and Hiatus are different things. If you go on semi-hiatus you are still expected to try your best and meet the posting requirements.
3. If a character is played while on hiatus, we will assume your hiatus is over and you are now back with the game.
4. If you become inactive without reason, you might be purged following the rules.
1. No God-Moding. It's really self-explanatory. Don't control or assume for another character without their consent.
