● General OOC Rules ●
(I know everybody hates 'em, but we have to have them.)
1. Do not be rude to others and be polite to everyone. (Telling others they broke a rule counts as being rude.)
2. Swearing is not allowed ICly or OOCly. This is why we made up 'swears' for characters ICly.
3. NO sexual/illegal content is to be put on this forum. These means there will also be no 'mating' scenes-- seriously, this is gross.
4. No plagiarism or stealing other people's art.
5. NO spam. Certain kinds of spam are accepted as long as they are in their appropriate boards, but spam such as posts that just say 'asdfhgfgdgd' alone, is not allowed on the site.
6. You are allowed and advised to report anything that breaks any of these rules (even if it's from staff.) This is more of an encouragement than a rule.
● Roleplay Rules ●
1. Do not powerplay. Powerplaying is when you control another person's character without their permission. (For example: Player1 - Myfayce ran towards Trashbagsrcool. Player2 - Trashbagsrcool stabs Myfayce in the chest and kills him) To avoid powerplaying, one should put in 'attempt' or 'try' in their character's physical interactions when roleplaying. (For example: Player1 - Myfayce ran towards Trashbagsrcool. Player 2 - Trashbagsrcool attempted to stab Myfayce in the chest.)
2. Do not metagame. Metagaming is when a character knows something just because the roleplayer knows it, though it would be almost impossible for the character to know. (For example, Trashbagsrcool knowing about Myfayce's plan to murder him soon, even though Myfayce never said anything or created any evidence about his plan to Trashbagsrcool.)
3. DWF (Dragon Warrior Forest) does not take place in real life. This means that they don't watch TV or Spongebob, electricity was not invented, etc. The characters are very medieval. (This also means they don't have guns, tazers, etc.)
4. Be fair. And by this, I mean no characters that are never hurt, no perfect characters, etc.
5. Be realistic. If you roleplay a character with a mental disorder, a sickness, etc., please roleplay these correctly. If you don't, you're not only roleplaying the character incorrectly, but you are also bothering many people that actually suffer from these things.
6. No advertising. Do not advertise anything outside of the advertisement boards/threads from anywhere (even here.)
7. You can have as many characters as you want and can manage.
8. No OOC-only posts. You can put some OOC text in your post, but if it has no IC text it will count as spam. (This, of course, doesn't apply for the OOC areas of the site! ^^)
9. You must put in a form for each new character you have. This is to prevent mary-sues/gary-stus, which are perfect characters. (If no one is perfect in real life, that should mean no one character is perfect in the roleplay as well.)
● Chat Rules ●
1. No spam. Please.
2. No advertising things outside of the site. Advertising and showing things like pictures, youtube videos, etc. are two different things. Obviously, the latter is indeed allowed as long as you are not trying to advertise another roleplay forum.
3. Rudeness will not be tolerated.
