Character Sheets which do not use the provided skeleton will be rejected and asked to comply with the set standard. This code can be found provided in the characters tab. [B][COLOR=SILVER][1.2][/COLOR] - [/B]Incomplete or in progress sheets should not be posted in the OOC nor should they be posted in the character tab. Completed sheets ready for review are the only character sheets which should be posted in the OOC. [B][COLOR=SILVER][1.3][/COLOR] - [/B]Completed sheets are to be posted in the Out of Character Thread for review until approved. Once approved you may move your sheet into the Character Thread for storage. [B][COLOR=SILVER][2.1][/COLOR] - [/B]Sheets will be reviewed and accepted/denied within 24 hours of a posted completed sheet. Please try to understand that in the event of numerous character sheets being submitted in the same day or due to obligations outside of the guild, there may be minor delays. [B][COLOR=SILVER][2.2][/COLOR] - [/B]In the event of a reasonable delay, any displays of impatience towards the GMs will result in an immediate dismissal of the application. Just like the players, the GM has a life and obligations outside of the roleplay and may not always be able to respond in a rapid manner. Please have patience and a positive attitude and you will receive a response in a timely manner. [B][COLOR=SILVER][3.1][/COLOR] - [/B]Respect the Game Master. The GM's word is to be adhered to; don't argue or disregard it unnecessarily. If the GM asks you to stop doing something please stop. Likewise if a GM asks you to change something in your post please do. Failure to adhere to any GM or Moderator requests will result in expulsion from the game. [B][COLOR=SILVER][3.2][/COLOR] - [/B]Respect the other players. Constructive criticism is fine, but flaming or trying to run players off just because you don't like the way they do things is not okay. Remember, it's the GM's job, not yours, to point out if there's a problem. If you feel that there is a problem, then contact the GM directly. [B][COLOR=SILVER][3.3][/COLOR] - [/B]Likewise any quarrels will be dealt with by the GM. Don't take them out in the OOC, arguments should be dealt with between the two parties through private messaging. If the involved parties truly can't solve their issues the GM can act as an arbiter upon request. [B][COLOR=SILVER][4.1][/COLOR] - [/B]Absolutely no 'OOC' chatter in the In Character Thread. If you have a question or anything to explain there is an Out Of Character Thread provided. You have no excuse to make an 'OOC' comment in the IC and if done it will be heavily frowned upon. [B][COLOR=SILVER][5.1][/COLOR] - [/B]If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of the GM. [B][COLOR=SILVER][6.1][/COLOR] - [/B]No God-Modding or metagaming. This refers to controlling or manipulating another player's character in way that is completely self-beneficial and not pre-approved by the other player. This also includes being untouchable against NPC characters as well as being all knowing. The basis of the plot is newfound mortality of previously-thought immortal beings; the threat is very real. [B][COLOR=SILVER][7.1][/COLOR] - [/B]This is a Character Driven RP, and as such you are encouraged and expected to take charge of your character's sub-plots and storylines. This is a favourite rule of mine, and that said, there will be a heavy emphasis on collaborative activities and team building as well. The GM will be leading the RP in the traditional sense with a driving plot and will ensure the RP keeps moving however I do want to see you develop your characters and produce your own plots. However we don't want to see you lock your character out of interaction and focus solely on your character and their 'world'. No one enjoys watching you play with yourself, it's always better to let someone else join in on the fun. [B][COLOR=SILVER][8.1.][/COLOR] - [/B]Player Character's are not to be killed without permission nor that player's supporting cast members. It is fine to kill nameless NPC's, but PC's or important NPC's will require authorization by their creator except in the event of a GM event.[/INDENT]
