Site Rating & Thread Labels Players must be 18 years or older. We are rated 3-3-3 on the RPG Rating Scale: Swearing and mature language is allowed. Sexual content is allowed. Only Adult characters may participate in sexual content. Detailed violence and gore is allowed (in-character only). OOC is separate from IC. Characters engaged in immoral, illegal, or dangerous acts are entirely fictional and do not represent the views of Staff or players. Our site includes a variety of post labels that should be used to appropriately mark your post for content. If you see a post-label, continue reading at your own discretion. There is always a risk that a topic may not be labelled or that we don't have a label for a specific type of 'trigger'. Players view and participate in our site at their own discretion and risk. Conduct Be respectful and kind. Our community should be a fun place for everyone to enjoy. OOC is separate from IC; disagreements between players should not be taken in-character and vice versa. We encourage players to resolve disputes privately without staff involvement. Staff will not intervene in situations / tensions / relationships that originated before involved parties joined the site. Players can block other players in discord and choose not to interact on the forum. Please tell the other person if you dont want them to join your threads. Staff will intervene in situations that are recent, relevant to the site, and break our code of conduct. Accounts Players must register a Player Account to join. Each character uses a separate Character Account, which will be linked to their Player Account. The Player Account must be listed as the primary account for linking. Activity We strongly encourage characters to post twice per week. Roleplaying is a collaborative game and the story doesn't progress without posting. Consistent posting allows sustained muse and plot progression. A quick, short post to move things along is better than waiting multiple weeks for a lengthy reply. Roleplaying should be a fun hobby, not a chore. Players should post at a pace that is fun, healthy and sustainable. Our game rules use the terms "Active" or "Inactive" referring to a character's account status. Characters must make 1 IC post every 30 days to remain Active. Characters can reactivate their account by making a normal IC post on the forum. This will automatically make the account Active and does not need Staff assistance. Characters can set their account to Inactive by going to Join/Activate Posting We do not have a word-count, but please write enough action and dialogue for your partner to reply. Do not post WIP "work-in-progress" posts, place-savers or "bump" posts. If you accidentally double-post, please post in #support in our discord so we can remove the post. Posts must be in 3rd-person, with proper grammar and punctuation. No power-play, god-modding, meta-gaming, or retconning. Avoid post-stacking / dialogue splicing. Posting Order We do not enforce posting order. Players should try to avoid repeatedly skipping a character in a thread. If multiple days have passed, it may be appropriate to skip. For group threads with lots of characters, we use "round-posting". For each "round" of roleplay, all the characters in the thread will post 1 time, in any order, until all (or most of) the characters have posted. Then the cycle will repeat. A deadline might be listed for each round to help everyone post on time. If you fail to post by the deadline, you get skipped and the next round will start automatically. Liquid Time Characters may be in multiple threads at once. We assume each event is happening at a different time in the character’s storyline. When making a new IC thread, set an IC date for the thread. The IC date does not have to match the OOC date; it can be back-dated or future-dated IC as long as it doesn’t interfere with other threads. Players should be mindful of travel times and review the IC weather for the IC-date they are posting. Read-Only Threads We allow "Read-Only" threads. This is a thread that might involve only one character doing something (great for exploring backstories, dreams, or events that happen alone) or it could be an OOC post summarizing an event that players OOCly agreed happened. Can be long or short. Please mark Read-Only posts with [RO] in the title. All characters who are present should reply to the thread so that it appears in their thread log. Graphics and Media All artwork should pertain to your character (avatars, profile images, etc). Artwork should be your own creation, art created for you, or art used with permission from the original artist. Ripping a copyrighted image off the internet without permission is not acceptable. Do not embed video / audio players anywhere on-site. We discourage the use of moving or flashing images on the forum. We do not allow AI generated content. AVATARS Maximum avatar size is 250px by 300px. POSTING TABLES Posting tables are optional, and use HTML and CSS for formatting. Save your table codes in your UserCP for easy access. Must be aesthetically pleasing (no blinding colors). Text must have enough opacity and contrast to be easily readable. Text must be at least 11 or 12px font (depending on font choice), big enough to be easily readable. Can NOT use glow, blurred, or drop-shadowed text. It's hard to read. Can NOT exceed 700px width. PROFILE CODING Character profiles utilize HTML coding in the text areas. Players may use code to spruce up their profile to add images, tables, format text, etc as long as it does not alter the site skin colors or layout. Players who want to further customize their profile colors must purchase a Premium Account. THREAD LOGS Character profiles have a built-in threadlog. Any IC threads you post in are automatically added to your log. Players can edit the description of the thread by viewing their profile, going to the threadlog tab, and clicking in the description area of the thread in the list. ACCOUNT SWITCHING Players are required to link their accounts and use their Player account as the Primary account. Link your accounts by hovering over User CP and selecting "Link Accounts". To quickly switch between linked accounts, hover over your account name in the top menu bar. Click the name of the account you'd like to log in. This works on most pages of the site.
