Hey, ya'll. These are all fairly simple.
GAME POSTING RULES:
1.) POSTING LENGTH: This is an RP that we'd like to be friendly to everyone of all writing levels, however we do ask that you post at least a paragraph when you post. A paragraph is 5-7 sentences.
2.) IC CURSING: Cursing is very much allowed, but try to put a limit on it, especially for Cybertronian characters. Unless you're Jazz or a character who has integrated himself into society similar to Jazz, there's not much reason your Cybertronian will be using a lot of Earth swears.
3.) WRITING STYLE: We prefer third person, but it's not absolutely necessary. Not by a long shot. If you like to write in first person, by all means, feel free! For canon characters, though (movie characters), third-person is favorited.
4.) IC IS NOT OOC: Characters will fight in-character, but please, do not bring the altercation to the OOC! Feesh is infamous for not tolerating OOC fights; just be friendly with everyone and it all shall go smoothly.
5.) POST ONCE A WEEK: If you have your character involved in something, please try to be active with your posting. We all understand that everyone has lives, Mods included, so if you know your time to post will be severely constrained for a little while, just make an OOC thread stating you will be very slow in your responses or even allowing permission to skip you, and don't let your character become key in the plot until you can post a tad more regularly. Effective 2/9/09, to play in the bar, you have to post with one character in the forum once a week.All we're asking for is a paragraph. ONE. PARAGRAPH. From any one character. You don't even have to post with all of them.
6.) CANON CHARACTER POSTING: If you have a movie character, though, you will be required to post at least once a week notwithstanding. A paragraph a week is not difficult to maintain. Your character will be put up for adoption if you fail to do so.
7.) NO OVER-POSTING: Try not to over-post. As in, wait up for other people to post so they don't fall behind. No Mod should have to ask you to slow down twice... If you are asked kindly to slow down and you don't, you will be temporarily banned until everyone else catches up.
8.) PLOTTING: You guys are totally free to make mini-plots among yourselves, but keep it within reason. If you have something that is potentially a site-changing plot, LET US ALL KNOW. As Admins, we'd want in on it because we're a nosy lot. Ergo, if you have a want to re-create the Hate Plague virus, don't just spread it around yourselves, that's a bigger plot for the Admins to conduct and put into play. Anything such as character relations, fighting, interactions, death, city attacks, what have you, that's all up to you guys.
9.) NO POWER PLAYING: Be sure NOT TO PLAY ANYONE ELSE'S CHARACTER but your own. This is fairly self explanatory, but in case we have new players to RPG, I just thought I'd cover. Only play your characters, as dictating another player's character falls under powerplaying.
And that's it.
