Play nice or don't play at all...
Common courtesy is expected and required. Every member will be held accountable for the way they behave, whether Staff, member, or guest. Respect your fellow players and you will, in turn, be treated with respect.[/blockquote]

No Godmoding...
This will not be tolerated. No debate. End of story. Godmoding is allowing your character to be infallible or controlling another player's character without their permission. If this is in any way unclear, feel free to PM Staff for clarification.[/blockquote]

Quality > Quantity
One liners are not appreciated, and will result in angry Staff. We ask that a post be 100 words minimum. We're far more interested in the quality and content than your word count. Kindly double check your grammar and spelling, and no internet abbreviations. That means no 'LOL's, 'OMG's, or L33t.[/blockquote]

No OOC Posting
There is no posting Out Of Character. None. Zero. Goose egg. If you post something out of character, Staff will have a rage blackout resulting in the post being deleted and your character being hit by a bus. Or blown up. Really it depends on our schedules...[/blockquote]

Continuity & Placement...
As this RP moves continuously and chronologically, a character cannot be in more than one thread at a time. If you RP in the Wreck Room, they cannot simultaneously be present in the cafeteria. Your character may leave one thread to arrive elsewhere, but keep in mind that a person cannot be in two places at once and plan accordingly.[/blockquote]

Realism and Themes...
Creativity is encouraged and appreciated, but do try to keep things as realistic as possible. Your character is a mutant. They are not werewolves or witches or Hello Kitty. If Staff sees so much as a single sparkle-bum vampire, you will be asked to kindly find your RP kicks elsewhere.
::please note ::
Staff would like to remind you to be as detailed as possible in your posts. Leaving things vague opens your work to interpretation and other players cannot be held responsible for the way they read your work.[/blockquote]

Images...
If you stretch the page, your picture will be removed. It will not be saved, it will not be sent to you, it will be deleted. Anything wider than 550 will bring unspeakable wrath, so please do not do it. To resize a picture, visit Picresize. For the sake of broken links and major migraines, please host your own pictures and do not link them from another site. Tinypic and Photobucket are two of many online sites that you can utilize
::please note ::
There will be no cartoons, comics, anime, or any variation thereupon. Please choose real people for your Celebrity Claims and NPCs. At least one image of your CC is required (whether in your avatar or in your signature).[/blockquote]

Activity...
We would love for you to post as often as you can! The site is nothing without devoted people to keep it moving smoothly, but of course, things do come up. If you cannot post kindly let the Staff know by sending a quick PM. Otherwise, if you do not post a character for over one month, it will be inactivated. If you haven't logged in for three months, your Celebrity Claim will be cut loose. The Rule:: Power Squishy! If you haven't logged in for more than six months your screen name will be deleted and your application will be relocated to the Archives.[/blockquote]

The Seperation...
Keep in mind that you are not your character. While you might be aware of board wide plot and schemings, your character will not be privy to that same information. And don't be offended if someone else doesn't like your character. You. Aren't. Your. Character. What happens in character, stays in character. If you have a problem with another player, take it to PMs or off-site. The only drama welcome here is the kind that moves plot.[/blockquote]
