[OOC] RULES

Aug 25, 2009 00:52

► Godmodding A big no-no. Players should not make characters that possess superpowers. Players can never decide what happens to another muses without the muse's mun's consent.

► Metagaming: Also a big no-no. Keep OOC information OOC. Do not bring it to an IC situation. Also, no mun drama allowed in the game. Settle conflicts privately. Ask the mods if any mediation is needed. IC drama is allowed as long as it stays IC. Simple equation: OOC =/= IC.

► Muse Squatting: Another big no-no. Even if a player is very active with one of his/her muse but keeps one of his/her own muse idle, that idle muse would be cut from the game. A muse must show activity within two weeks of being approved.

► Respect and Self-Moderation: Respect everyone in the game. No trolls. No total jerks. Try and we'll kick you out quickly. Be a jerk in your own community. Also, this community may contain yaoi, yuri and het relationships. If you’re bothered by such, please reconsider joining or just ignore the thread. Respect other players' OTPs or whatever pairing they suddenly decide to create 'in game'. Logs

► Anonymity: A player doesn't have to be anonymous but a player is required to respect the anonymity of other players. Disabling IP Logging is required. It is fine if a player wants to say who their other characters are but do not distribute the information to the others without the players consent. No personal journal used as muse journals please..

► Active Participation: The moderators want this game to be fun and not to be a chore but a player must participate in the game actively. A player is required to participate in at least two logs a month. Activity checks will be done on the 15th of every month and an inactive player will be contacted for inactivity. If the moderators don't see any activity within a week, the character will be dropped and will become available for grabs again. Characters that only become active when Activity Checks are near will also be included in the CUT LIST. If a character has been cut, please wait for two weeks to re-claim.

► OOC Community: The OOC Community is solely for posting Hiatus/Return/Drop Notices, Introduction, and Mod Posts. No Spamming the OOC Community.

► Hiatus: If a player needs to go on hiatus, have some courtesy and inform everyone by posting at the OOC community. Hiatus periods are only allowed for a maximum of 30 days. Go beyond that and the moderators will have to cut a player from the list. No exceptions.

► Dropping: If you decide to drop, please post a notice and (optionally) a quick rundown of what your character had been doing for the past in-game. The quick rundown helps others who want to claim the character after being dropped.

► Three Strike Policy: Each rule has a three strike policy. 1st strike earns a player a private warning, 2nd strike earns a player a public warning and a 3rd strike cuts a player from the game. An accumulated total of 5 strikes, all rules considered, also earn a player a spot in the CUT LIST.

► Moderator: Moderators have the final decision. They also have the right to drop muses if needed and within reason. You can contact the main moderator's account if you have any game-related problems or major plot ideas. Moderators are nice and usually objective when making a decision. Also, if you think rules are being disregarded, INFORM THE MODERATORS. Let the moderators enforce the rules. Don't assume authority. And If you think the moderators are at fault, inform the moderators as well. Moderators are also humans, imperfect.

► Last Rule: Have fun, meet people and enjoy the game. Interact with everyone if you can. Try to avoid focusing on a certain clique.
