[hider=Roleplay Rules]
[list]
[*][b]Respect your GM:[/b] I will do my best to respect you, your feelings, and your opinions as long as you respect me, and the fact that this is [u]my[/u] world. I do highly value opinions and ideas, and love when players help me expand, but this is not grounds to endlessly argue you point or go off on a tiff and try to get your way. I accept critique and input as long as it is done with relative courtesy. Also note, I reserve the right to change my mind.
[h1][/h1]
[*][b]Big Events:[/b] I know I said do whatever you want, whenever you want but please keep in mind that I have my own plots, and other people will have their own plots too. If you are starting a big event, let me know. I will inform you if it is going to clash with something I, or somebody else has planned. This is only for events that follow the same principle, or basically the same thing, events that aren't so alike create interesting tension, and are permissible. I'm just trying to prevent "Oh, well I did this first." This is also to prevent conflicts with unrevealed lore.
[h1][/h1]
[*][b]Consistency and Realism:[/b] I try to incorporate a measure of depth and realism in a world filled with terrible mutants and the undead. Please try to maintain a level of realism, though if for the purpose of comic relief, certain things can be overlooked. Situations I do not like are characters magically stumbling upon what they need. Please try to make it believable. Nobody left their fully loaded assault rifle on the road because your handgun just happened to run out of ammo and there just happens to be a horde of ghouls chasing you.
[h1][/h1]
[*][b]ESRB Couldn't Rate Me:[/b][color=red] [TRIGGER WARNING][/color] I am prone to using gore, heavy violence, trauma, taboo, drugs, alcohol, language, offensive everything, and other mature themes. I do not shy away from a characterss "Assets" and will vaguely describe them, in a not adult-oriented way. (IE: "Curvy Breasts" "Plump Rump" "Nice Ass.") Additionally, the world is not a nice place, no matter how much you want it to be. Children are not exempt from the horrors of the world, and while I will try not to be heavy on the gore, violence, and other such dark things, there will be [i]some[/i] details and other dark, horrible implications. I will likely write something that offends you. If something I write offends you, I honestly, Truly, WHOLEHEARTEDLY, do not care. Just because I write it, does not mean it reflects my values or beliefs. If it is a legitimate concern, then I do, in fact, care and you are more than welcome to bring it to my attention and I will do my best to resolve it.
[h1][/h1]
[*][b]Post Order:[/b] This roleplay does not use the Turn-by-Turn system. Here, we go Day-By-Day (or Morning-to-Morning). Users are allowed to post as much as they like, or as much as needed. At the end of the posting cycle, once everyone has concluded for the night, or a plot has reached the next morning (6 a.m) STOP. The next day does not begin until I say so. I still expect posts at least once every two weeks at a bare minimum. Extensions are permissible, but "Life" is not always an excuse, I have a busy life too. If you hold us up for too long and prevent us from advancing days, I will leave you behind. Lastly, please make us aware when your posting cycle is concluded, though I will typically ask. When it comes to Time Skips, I will try to give as much advancement as I can on the desire to do so. However, a large majority of us must agree to it, and be ready. If It's a 8/10 vote then the other people have to be flexible and roll with it. 
[h1][/h1]
[*][b]Standard Rules:[/b] The common sense rules, No God-modding, No Power Plays, No Mary Sues, etc. Fade-to-black for extreme scenes including sex, extreme violence, and most dark taboo things that are not appropriate for the general public.
[h1][/h1]
[*][b]Site Rules:[/b] This roleplay and all of its participants also adhere to The [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/531-fundamental-rules-of-the-guild/ooc#post-3607]Fundamental Rules of The Guild[/url] and [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/77197-moderation-policy-in-the-rp-sections/ooc#post-2433645]Moderation Policy in the RP Sections.[/url]
[h1][/h1]
[*][b]Consent:[/b] By applying to this roleplay, players agree that they have stated, or are assumed to be 18+ years of age.
[h1][/h1]
[*][b]Roleplay and GM Autonomy:[/b] This is derived from the "GM AUTONOMY" section of "Moderation in the Roleplay Sections"; If there is a problem, work it out. If somebody accidentally or for any reason breaks my rules, or the forum rules do not immediately rush to the mods. Try to resolve it, notify the person in question. [b]DO NOT[/b], I repeat, [b]DO NOT[/b] waste our wonderful staff's time, [b]ESPECIALLY[/b] over petty squabbles. I am here to deal with every little violation and nitpick you may have. If it is something that I cannot resolve, then I will contact the moderators. Ignoring this rule and rushing immediately to the Moderation Staff will [b]Get You Removed[/b] from this roleplay. There are exceptions to this to which the moderators should be notified, such as continual harassment, griefing, explicit images purposefully done, and pretty much anything that happens over PM. Things such as disagreements, "He said she said" type ordeals should be discussed and put to bed. We are [b]GODDAMN ADULTS[/b] and I expect you to act like it.
