Rules

Rules
Failure to follow any rules could result in account suspension or termination.



Attacks
There will be no bullying, harassment, attempts to start fights, etc.



Discrimination
There will be no discrimination towards any gender, religion, race, political party, etc.



Grudges
We ask that you do not hold grudges that originated on other sites, or in real life.



Multiple or Shared Accounts
Do not share your account with anyone, or make a second account. This gives you an advantage over other role-players, since you could vote twice, or apply for a job with two accounts.



One-Liners
In role-plays, posts must be at least five sentences(I encourage more) and in OOC (out of character) posts, there must be at least five words.



Don't make your Character just like a Canon Character
A canon character is a character from the books. Don't name your cat Firepelt, that's a young cat with a firey pelt, that used to live with twolegs. It can get annoying.


Killing
Do not kill off any character, not even your own. There may be a situation in which a hero is fighting a monster, but neither can kill each other. You may be wounded, but you cannot die. If you are a hero who wishes to fight and kill some kind of monster, make your own hellhound or cyclops that isn't controlled by anyone.


No God-Moding
God-Moding is where everything your character does works perfectly. For example, if your character was in some kind of duel:
"So-and-So shot fire from his fingertips, instantly slaying his foe."
You can see how this would get annoying.



Autoing
This is when someone takes control of a character that isn't their own. You only have control of your own character, and any people you choose to add that aren't controlled by someone else.



No Cheating
This includes influencing votes or awards unfairly, exploiting coding loopholes, and bribing or accepting bribes.



Innapropriate Content or Foul Language
This website is designed for all ages, so we ask that you keep everything PG rated. You can say 'Fox Dung', ' Mouse Brain' etc. But nothing more.


Arguing with Staff
Do not try to argue with the staff if they are doing their job. If you have a problem with the way a staff member is handling something Private message them. Don't t
ake it up with them personally.



Hacking
Whether by use of codes or otherwise, hacking is taken very seriously. We will aways press for the strongest charges and penalties available.



Text Speak
Text speak, such as 'omg' or 'lol', is forbidden in role-plays on this site. This also includes using 'u' for you or 'r' for are, etc. It draws away from the role-play. It is permitted in the out of character threads, though, but discouraged.



Spelling and Grammar
We know that nobody's perfect, but we ask that you go back and check your work after finishing writing a role-play, to make sure that your spelling and grammar areOly as good as possible.
No Mary-Sues

Mary-Sues are characters that have unrealistic traits beyond those expected in the average Percy Jackson book. An example of this would be a character that is amazingly attractive, and has lead a very tragic life. She never suffers from her tragic life, and is generally portrayed as misunderstood and unfairly prosecuted.



No Larry-Stus
This is the male version of Mary-Sue. Along with the traits that she has, he typically has very solitary behavior, and a high disregard for authority.



No Meta-Gaming
This is when your character automatically knows information about a person or thing, without ever having learned it. For example, a person knowing someone else's name and full history, even though they haven't ever met each other.




Only Role-Play as your Own Character
You cannot start or join a role-play as Chiron if you didn't sign up as him. If you sign up as John Doe, then you must continue to role-play as John Doe, and no one else.



OOC (out of character ) Posts
There is a whole forum for OOC posts, so keep them to a minimum when roleplaying. If you have to say something out of character while role-playing, put it in double parenthesis, like ((this)).



Closed and Open Role-Plays
When starting a role-play, mark it in the subject as 'open' or 'closed'. Open means anyone can join, no matter species they are. Closed means only those invited can join. If you want to join a closed role-play, don't post asking if you can join. Talk the the person who sat it up outside of the thread in a private message.
