RULES
1. Follow the TOS to the best of your abilities.
-We don’t want to be shut down, so try your best, everyone. We aren’t saying, be goody-goodies and play on a straight line. We’re saying, use common sense, you aren’t grade-school kids, are you?
2. Be nice.
-We don’t expect you to get along with everyone. That’s nearly impossible. We do expect you to act respectfully though. You aren’t little kids fighting over a toy. Act in a manner that reflects the golden rule. Treat others as you wish to be treated. If you act like a brat and tell us ‘Well, I want to be treated like this’ while treating some one like crap. We will treat you a thousand times worse.
3. Only one character until you get TEN posts.
-Your max is two, Administrators and moderators reserve the right to play three. However, we reserve the right to play “favorites.” If we know you, and we know you can hold up your end of the bargain, we may allow you to take up your second before getting ten post count. If we don’t know your Rping skills, and you wish to take up a second before getting to the mark, ask us nicely and give us a reason why we should allow it.
4. No power playing. (A god mod.)
-If you’re… Romania, you aren’t going to call shots for Hungary. There is no, ‘(Insert Romania’s name here) slaughtered Elizabeta in a cruel and merciless manner, giving the woman no time to defend herself.’
-No being a Mary Sue. You aren’t the richest, you aren’t the most powerful. You’re not the best looking, and you’re most certainly not the most popular. And vice the versa, Being an absolute fail in everything is just as bad as being perfect in everything. Everyone has something they excel at.
5. No deaths.
-We understand the plot is a little dark, so there will be intensity. You can even be beat half to death, but there will be no character deaths. NPC deaths… are allowed, but not playable characters. We don’t care if we lose you (kidding) but we’d be heart broken if that adorable character if your’s died.
6. No chat speak.
-Things like afk, or bbl in the chatbox are okay. But if we see things like ‘I wuz shoked 2 c I hade ben catored’ in the forum, you’ll get a stern scolding and lashing.
7. Grammar and literature.
-Where would we be without the grand structure? Obviously we would be cannibalistic monsters. I mean, look at this brilliant example here. “Its time to eat Grandma” has a totally different meaning than “It’s time to eat, Grandma.” The first insinuates you are going to eat your grandmother. The second shows you are telling your grandmother it is time to eat. Obviously we aren’t going to be grammar Nazis. Everyone makes mistakes, but there is such a thing as spell check. As for you non-English Rpers… I know two Europeans who are excellent at typing in English, so you have no excuses!
8. Pairing issue.
-We’re not going to say ‘no pairing war.’ That’s for little brats who have no confidence they can hold onto their lover. It’s normal that your character may not be the only one to like a certain character. If you think that person is going to try and stand between you and the person you want, don’t whine about it, work your hardest to keep the person you want’s gaze only on you.
9. Money.
-There is a money count for everyone. Each IC post gets you 10 euros. Money is necessary for everything. For the rich humans, it’s necessary to buy pets. For others and for the creatures themselves, it’s necessary for day to day life. Shopping and if you have no master, a home, requires money.
10. Word-count.
-We won't ask for a novel, but we want at least 200 hundred words per post.
11. Banners and Icons.
-Banners must be no larger than 250 for height and 500 in length.
-There is to be no inappropriate content in icons and banners.
12. There is a maximum capacity for mystical creatures. There can only be two from each species, regardless of what each nation calls them, if they're likened too one another, then they'll be classified as the same. Example 1: Vampire. You can call it whatever you wish, but a vampire is a vampire.
Example 2: Faeries. It doesn't matter if your character is a "water fairy" a "fire fairy" or a "forest fairy" - they are all faeries - regardless of fancy names given to them in other countries.
If you are unclear on what the simplified version of your character is: PM the admins. We will discuss/help you with this.
You can not be a 'God', and certain creatures there will only be one off: e.i: The world serpent.
Humans are the only exception to this rule.
13. Tax.
-We reserve the right to tax you monthly for rent, food, and other such obvious reasons.
If you read the rules.
-If you read the rules, please tell us your favorite ice cream flavor.
