[center][b][i][u][color=ed1c24]SERIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT[/color][/u][/i][/b][/center] Ok so, this is a real talk about some changes that me and Yosh are going to make. Basically some rules for posting in this RP to make sure that we have a stable pace and so that the RP picks up some speed. So let's cut the shit. [img]http://38.media.tumblr.com/8b113d986e92baf244083a4310255f44/tumblr_nhd9mggnd11rui2o1o1_1280.gif[/img] [i]Synthorian proceeds to cut the shit.[/i] --- Alright, so here's the deal. The following is a set of rules we want to propose to you before we set them in stone. We are a community, so Yosh and I want you guys to give us some feedback, whether you approve or don't approve of one or several rules, have suggestions of your own, or any questions about said proposed rules. Here goes nothing... [list] [*] There will be a 14 day time limit on collabs based in the present time IC and singleplayer posts, also based in present time IC. Which resets every time a post is produced in the IC, which also applies to collab contributers, whether they play NPCs or PCs. [*] Players must warn the GMs, as well as fellow collaborators, if they will be unable to contribute to both collabs and singleplayer posts for more than the allocated time limit for whatever reason, in order to prevent hanging up other players so that they may continue. Doing so will make the collab or singleplayer post a viable canon flashback, that can be posted when the player returns, or at a later date should the player or players wish to do so. [b][color=ed1c24]PLEASE DO THIS IN ANY WAY YOU CAN IF YOU HAVE NO ACCESS TO A PC, OTHERWISE THE RULE BELOW WILL APPLY.[/color][/b] [*] Players who do not warn us, or have a post ready before the 14 day time limit is expired, will have a 3 day grace period (3 extra days) to post their collab, or singleplayer post. If no post is produced in the IC within that time, they will recieve an [b][color=ed1c24]Infraction[/color][/b]. [*] A player may receive a maximum of 3 Infractions. After 2 Infraction, the offending player will lose the right to a 3 day grace period. On the 3rd Infraction, the player is [b][color=ed1c24]kicked[/color][/b]. [i][b][u]Holding up other players from posting will not be tolerated[/u][/b][/i]. [*] If a collab is being held up by the offending player (who obtained an infraction or has been kicked for 3 infractions), the GMs will ask if the collaborators are willing to take over the offending/kicked player's character, if not, the GMs will. [*] When warning the GMs of a player absence, only the player him/herself must speak for themselves. [b][i]NO ONE ELSE[/i][/b] can speak for them. Their absence, and the explanations for them, are [b][i]THEIR[/i][/b] responsibility. [*] In order to be able to enforce the 14 day rule effectively, please send the GMs the links to the collabs that are taking place in present time. This will help the GMs keep track of the progress of the collabs, as well as who is taking part, and who is slowing everyone else down. [b][i]Future based collabs, flashbacks and singleplayer posts may be kept private from the GMs.[/i][/b] [*] The GMs are [b][i]NOT[/i][/b] under exception of these rules. They must follow said rules to the letter, failure to do so will result in the removal of their position. [/list] --- Well I think that covers it. Like I said previously, please shoot any questions or suggestions our way. Thank you for reading.
