General Rules
1. No god-moding, metagaming, or powerplaying.
God-moding is the tendency to make your character unrealistically powerful. Metagaming is applying OOC knowledge to your character. Powerplaying is taking control of someone else's character without permission. None of these are okay. (To elucidate, no controlling your opponent's characters even if it is as simple as stating, "Character 2 would notice... Character 2 sees...").
2. When it comes to adult content, be reasonable.
I don't intend to censor anyone but remember the rating, for the most part, for this site is PG-13. If there is going to be a considerable amount of swearing or inappropriate content, put a warning in the title, and if it's going to get any worse than that, move to private messages.
3. Respect the staff and fellow members.
I probably don't need to extrapolate on this one. Play nice.
4. Be active.
If you disappear for more than 3 weeks without warning, your account may get deleted, especially if you play a canon character. If you don't post a reasonably complete profile within about a week of joining, your account will probably be deleted.
5. Don't advertise in the wrong place.
Please don't advertise your own website through the RP boards, your signature, or private messaging system. There is a now a specific board for you to post your site ad.
6. Put forth some effort.
The post length minimum is at least a paragraph. Do what you can to avoid one liners. Posts are to be in third person, past or present tense. No asterisks to denote speech and action. If you have trouble spelling, it's only considerate that you use spell check before submitting your posts. There is now a spell check option for quick posts, so there is no excuse not to. It will make it much easier for other members to RP with you.
7. Keep up with your threads
Currently, there is no limit to how many topics you can join, or how far apart they are. Just make sure you can keep track of all of them, and aren't making your partner wait too long.
8. Do not RP until your profile is approved.
After you join and post your profile, a staff member will read over it for accuracy and clarity, and then reply to it to tell you if you have been approved, and if you need to fix anything. Then you are free to roleplay.
9. Respect posting order.
Give everyone in the thread some time to post before you continue. I understand that sometimes people get busy and can't post for quite a few days, and then it's acceptable to skip them until their next turn. But don't move a thread along too quickly and leave someone behind.
10. Do not minimod.
If you see someone breaking the rules, please tell a staff member rather than informing them yourself. Only staff members are allowed to post on new profiles, unless specifically asked to by an administrator to approve parts of an application.
11. Read all Sovereign Reports and Rules.
You cannot randomly do whatever you would like. You must have your character based of the facts that have been presented. If a character or post is too far from what is expected, you will be warned and then kicked. Be sure to read everything and keep up with announcements.
12. A Maximum of 2 Accounts can be made.
Once you already have an account, the second account must be of a lower level character. This is to ensure fairness as well as making a wide range of experience made available to the members. When creating a second account, you must claim that the account is yours!
