Out of Character and In Character Rules
1.) Listen to the admins. What we say goes no if, ands, or buts. Not to sound like a hard ass here but just follow the rules please and respect all decisions we make.
2.)I DO NOT, I REPEAT I DO NOT want to see any bickering about which comic brand is better. I understand that some may prefer one brand over another and I respect that PLEASE do not bring that into the cbox. In the end it'll only turn into a flame war and then nobody wins.
3.)No godmoding, powerplaying, and no killing people's characters off unless they say it's okay. We're all mature enough here to send a pm to whoever it should be sent to to sort these kind of things out, no?
4.)No Original Characters. I'm taking a hard line on this because quite frankly with how the plot is set up we have a shit load of canon characters to choose from. There are 198 Mutants alone and if you need help with background information on any of these canon characters feel free to pm anyone on staff and ask we'll be more then happy to lend a helping hand.
5.)Respect each other. Seriously guys drop the drama at the door. Me and the rest of the staff will have no tolerance for it and quite frankly it has no place here. This is a game, you're supposed to come and have fun here.
6.)REMEMBER THAT IT IS IN FACT A GAME! Taking in character actions or dislike out of character isn't cool and more importantly never ends well. Everyone gets butthurt and quite frankly because of this no one wins and the game itself loses the most. No one wants the game to lose now do they?
7.)No turning canons into Mary Sues. You're probably sitting there wondering how what I'm saying is even logical after all how can one turn a pre-set character into a sue. Well that's quite easy honestly. Not to be harsh but no one wants to hear how pretty, strong, good-looking, and etc. your character is in every single post. Also no giving your character powers they don't have or making them like totes invincible in every fight. Even Supes has his weaknesses.
8.)See the third button down there at the bottom titled Spell Check, USE IT! Pretty self explanatory. This goes hand in hand with no one liners. All I ask for is at least 150-200 words per post. We're a multi-level rp site so I don't expect everyone to write a novella and if you need help with making the word count or want tips and the like contact someone on the admin team. We'll be more then happy to help.
9.) No real-life or play bys from your respective characters movies. Keep it comic based and use images from the comics. If you need help finding them feel free to ask we will help.
10.) No more then three characters and one character per each account. While I don't doubt anyones ability to play multiple characters I'd prefer to have a limit if only so that more are open to new members joining the site. That being said when making characters if you have two one must be Marvel and DC OR one hero and villain. If you get up to three the same applies except one from each brand and either two heroes and one villain or two villains and one hero. If you have any concerns with this pm me allowances can be made. The last part is pretty self explainatory.
11.) Have fun! Or else. What that or else is, is beyond me but I'll figure something out.
