First off... WELCOME PEOPLES!!
If you are here then that means you are thinking about joining Actus Reus...that or you have already joined and Mickey is threatening to eat your face if you don't read the rules. 0-0 ...either way, here are OUR RULES!!
1.No GM; God-Molding. It means being powerful, as if acting indestructible or almost acting like a god.
2.No PP; Power-Playing or auto-hit. Meaning that you automatically hit or damage your opponent. The only time you may powerplay is if you have been given permission by the character's owner, which you probably won't get in most cases.
3.Use the applications for your characters, the character application and species application. The species application is only if you have made up a species or you know of what that is not listed in the pre-approved species list. All species applications must be mailed to Mickey or Kite, and all approved ones will be added to the pre-approved species list for all members to use.
4.Fights can be as graphic as you like. Be creative with it! There is endless possibilities to how a fight will turn out, but if someone asks you to dim it down a bit, then please do so. But I don't want people mailing me and complaining about the gore levels. Don't like gore? Well don't join a board where there is a lot of it. Oh, and if you want a character to die then make a little "ooc" note of it, either asking if you can kill that character or stating that your character may be killed.
5.Don't use chat-talk in the roleplays. If you don't know how to write a complete sentence with good grammar and English words then pay attention in class sometime!! Sheesh >.>
6.As of right now there are no character limits, so go nuts. And don't create more then one account on here, since there isn't a character limit. It just doesn't make sense to have four accounts on here, even though this is a pretty awesome site ^^
7.Cussing and insults may be used in the roleplays from character to character, but not from roleplayer to roleplayer, which means...BE NICE! No arguing or insulting people in the cbox either, or Mickey will eat your face. o-0 jk
8.Magic is allowed...especially with magic using characters. Just keep rules # 1 in mind and we won't have a problem here. >.>
9.No stealing from this site, whatsoever!! Mickey will eat your face for real if you do, and she will delete your account too. You will be forever banned from this site if you steal!
10.Mating...every living creature does it, but let us not get too graphic with it. If you must then make your board private and request that it be locked with a password, so no younger user stumble into it. Thank you.
11.I don't want 20 characters with the same name! I don't even really want two characters with the same name...but I won't make such a big deal out it if it does happen...but characters with the same name can not be in the same board, so keep that in mind when you make a character. Be creative people!
12.This is a semi-literate and up site, so we expect people to put some effort into their intros and replies. All intros must be at least two paragraphs long, and that isn't really all that long if you use details to describe stuff...which is what you are suppose to do in the first place...so yeah. Replies must be five sentences...at least. That is like one paragraph, and a small one at that considering it will be typed.
13.No links to porn sites or graphic photos. You will get no warning on this, just an automatic ban, because it shows that you didn't read the rules, or that you don't care. And we just really don't want to see that kind of stuff on our beautiful site.
14.The cbox is for chatting, cutting up, and joking around in a friendly fashion. Please take all arguments to the PM's, and no roleplaying in the cbox. No flooding or spaming in the cbox either. And no advertising in the cbox! Thank you
15.Don't spam up people's PM's either! Thank you ^^
16.If any staff is caught abusing powers then they will most likely be stripped of their powers and ranks...so be nice staff members!
17. Also...don't be begging us to be made a staff member. If we want you to be a staff member then we will ask you if you would like to be one.
18.Use the spell check please, and if the spell check is broken then type your reply in a document on word first. Also, you should probably re-read every thing you type, and even read it out loud if you must. We often don't type/write exactly what we meant, so...yeah. Please and thank you.
