Roleplaying Rules and Guidelines
1. We're in the Pokemon arena. No Dragonball Z, Naruto, Digimon, or anything else that is in ANY sort of popular culture is allowed... unless it's just being referenced to. There's a difference between your character releasing a kameameha and saying kameameha's are cool.
[Please Note: I hate DBZ, and I don't quite care how kameameha is spelled. Please don't correct me on it.]
2. No GODMODDING. Godmodding includes but is not limited to:
- Saying your pokemon does ANYTHING inside of battle, outside from 'Pokemon gets ready to perform x attack'. The staff reserves the right to ignore any of this, and make things worse if you break this rule, or you have put too much fatigue on your Pokemon. Outside of battle is quite alright, so long as you don't bring an NPC in the mix.
- Bringing any NPC into the mix. This includes pokemon, other trainers, EVEN THE PROFESSOR. I don't care how much you want to get started on your story.
- Saying your pokemon is invincible and is the son of Mew and so on and so forth. NOT ALLOWED.
- Controlling another person's character. That's just rude.
- Sending an admin/mod on your story moderator because YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON. We're members on other boards too. So long as you aren't doing anything stupid, you should get something good. Eventually.
- Saying your character knows more than they do not.
3. No overly powerful characters. Period.
4. Sign up using the same form as everyone else. I don't care if you're the queen of England. You have to use the same thing.
5. Grammar is a big one. Or at least spelling. Or at least being able to understand the sentence. You don't have to be your 7th grade English teacher, but you have to use English as properly as you can. Excuses for not using proper written English are to be taken up with me, Violet, and no one else.
6. This board tries its hardest to follow Proboards TOS, and is therefore PG-13 in nature. Those under 13 (which there should NOT be any of) should make sure they have permission from a parent of some sort before signing up for this board. We hold no responsibility for you lying about your age and then having your parents find out about this board and not liking it. All we can do is delete your account and ban your IP upon request... So please do not do this unless we can all (parents included) be peachy with a side of keen, alright?
7. There is no character limit except for those you can keep up with. However, you may not share pokemon or items with said characters. Characters may be roleplayed in the same topic SPARINGLY, unless in the case of a major plot, in which case, the mods/admins in charge of the plot will try their hardest not to stick your characters in the same topics, but make sure we're on top of that. If not, you will be found out and smited. You are allowed your second character at your 20th post, as so we can be ensured that you will stay around. Your third character is allotted to you at your 40th first character post, and 20th second character post, so on and so forth. These restrictions might be a little hefty, but it is always worth the wait.
8. Minimum word count is 125 words per post, in ALL ROLEPLAY TOPICS (unless otherwise noted). This is to prevent one liners, one worders, and various other undetailed posts. Quality of posts usually make a good quantity of words as well, seeing as you need quite a few words in order to create proper description, and tell the next person what your character is doing.
