General Rules: When Out of Character 1.) Treatment of Others:xxxI do not want to see any flamming or disrespect when out of character. Regardless of rank or ability, I expect you to treat each other as equals-- mature equals. 2.) Language:xxxI'm pretty lenient in the language department. I don't really care: I have days where I can curse like a sailor. I only ask not to see the F-bomb dropped every other word. 3.) Literacy:xxxSome have it, others don't. Please do not yell at someone for making mistakes; we are all human here, nobody's perfect; Hannah Montana sings about it every day. 4.) OOC in IC:xxxPlease don't. When you're in a thread meant for role playing, don't post an all OOC post unless you're asking for a recap in an OOC thread. I'm sorry; call me cruel, it irks me. 5.) Respect:xxxWhile this may seem contradictory to what I said earlier about everyone being equal regardless of rank, if someone of higher rank tells you you've done something wrong; LISTEN TO THEM. If you don't think so, take it to me. I'm the highest authority in this forum, so please don't hesitate to message me with complaints and questions. 6.) 3 Strikes, You're Out:xxxWhat works in baseball could work in a roleplay, right? Once three rules have been broken, your account will be deleted. No ifs, ands or buts about it. |

General Rules: In Character 1.) Literacy:xxxWhile I'm fairly lenient with literacy, I don't want to see any one line responses. Nor any posts that you have to read seven times to decode. N0 txt tlk 31th3r. While I'm usually okay with anything more than one line, I'd prefer a paragraph per post. That means three to five sentences- of course, no novels either. 2.) Double Posting:xxxI'd prefer you didn't. However, I understand when you've opened a thread that no one's replied to for three days and you're getting bored. At that point, by all means. Double post. 3.) Activity:xxxIf you're to be offline for a while, contact me or a mod. If we find you've been inactive for a prolonged period of time, your profile will be filed in the morgue, your account deleted. 4.) Powerplay:xxxDon't do it. This includes controlling any character that is not your own, killing any character that is not your own without the permission of the other person (there will be a thread to approve of this, too), automatically hitting another's character and dodging every single attack aimed at you. 5.) Cybering:xxxFor those of you who don't know, cybering is roleplaying sex scenes. And it is not allowed in my forum-- at the very least, I don't want to see it. Take it to PM, take it off the site, just don't let me see it or you will be banned. 6.) Jumping:xxxYou cannot get to a South Blue island directly from a North Blue sea. You have to go through Reverse Mountain. Also, you can not go from one island directly to the next; you have to post in the sea, at some point. 7.) Decoration:xxxYou may color and decorate your posts however you like; I simply want your posts to be readable. All I require is a name in each post, so everyone knows who we're talking to. |

Character Rules: Profiles 1.) Active Characters:xxxYou may have three active characters; only two may have the same occupation (pirate, marine). I will allow you to make character's siblings and such. 2.) Devil Fruits:xxxYou may have canon devil fruits, but I won't accept a lot of devil fruit users outside of the Grand Line. 3.) Bounties/Ranks:xxxDo not start with a bounty or a high rank. When you feel your character has done something deserving of a bounty/promotion, send a private message to a moderator or me, linking to the post/thread in which you earned it. 4.) Sample:xxxThere's a spot on the profile skeleton for a sample. If this is not filled out, it will not be accepted. Also, the length and quality of your sample will depend on things like devil fruit acceptence, automatic bounties and such. 5.) NPCs:xxxI don't mind you making NPCs; just remember which is your character and which is the NPC. Also, pirate crews may NOT have NPCs unless they're a Yonkou or Shichibukai. Since no one will start out as one of these, it doesn't really matter. Marines may have NPC crews. 6.) Character Deaths: xxxWhen a character dies/becomes inactive, the profile will be moved to the Morgue. Characters can and will not come back from the morgue (unless I move the wrong profile into the Morgue, in which, please inform me of my mistake) or they ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi and are taking a short hiatus. 7.) Logia Devil Fruit Users:xxxDue to some dispute about logia's being too powerful and god-moddish, logia's may not transform into their elements starting off, rather that talent must be earned over time though role play and general strength of the character. It can't be an "oh, my character trained for 24 hours and magically gained this power since the last thread" thing, either. It must come in small steps. In the beginning a full elemental form can only come with deep concentration. 8.) Canon Relations:xxxCanon relations will not be allowed. Nor will any canon interactions that could majorly shape a character's past. |

Guide to Begin Roleplaying 1.) Pick which cardinal sea you want to start in. The Grand Line will not be open until the roleplay is off to a good start with a lot of characters building up their crews. 2.) Start a thread in the island of your choice, or the wide, open sea. If you want anyone to be able to join, put {open} after the title of your thread. If you don't, put {private}. If you post without doing this, it's assumed open.3.) Start roleplaying! 4.) Once the thread is closed, done and you've moved on, put {closed} after the title. At that point, I will come around and lock your thread, so only put {closed} when you're really closed. |
