It sounds like a lot, I know...but they're simple enough. I hope.
1) Try to avoid as many out-of-galaxy influences. First letter:A Paper=flimsi/flimsiplast, phone=comlink/com, et cetera.
2) Don't center-align your roleplay posts, please. It makes them hard to read.
3) Keep it PG-13. Anything over a simple kiss needs to be taken to PMs or simply faded out. We get the point. Thanks.
4) Word Count. Make your posts at least 200 words. It's not that much. I understand writers block, but mention it beneath your post so we don't call you out on it.
5) No god-moding. Also, don't kill or gravely injure another persons character without their express permission. With that said, bear in mind...lightsabers are lightsabers. They hurt. A lot.
6) Dialouge and speech. Three basic patterns here.
"Hello, I am a being speaking Basic."
"Hello, I am a being speaking another language. I will mention what language somewhere in my roleplay post or beneath my roleplay post."
I am considering my choices. Second letter: H. Also, please use third-person past tense.
7) Keep a posting order. I don't want anyone left out!
8) Anything marked with [WAR] in the title is a major point in the war. These can only be posted by staff members. PLEASE DO NOT POST A MAJOR TURNING POINT IN THE WAR!
1) No advertising. We have a place for that.
2) Obey the general rules. There is a reason they're general, yes?
3) Cut the drama. We don't need it there. If you have a problem, take it up with me, other staff, or the person you have a problem with. Third letter: S
1) When creating characters, we go for "original but believable." There is a wonderful Mary-Sue test here partway through- specifically, under 'SWF test.'
2) Time period. This is set during the Old Republic between the Cold War and the Second Galactic Civil War.
3) Be creative! Twi'lek, Cathar, Togruta, Hutts, Humans, Sith Purebloods, Rattataki, Wookiees, anything you can think of that could logically interact with the galaxy at large.
4) No canons. Period. Because of the nature of the setting in the roleplay, no canons are present. Sorry boys and girls. Fourth letter: O
5) Balance your characters. Make them believable, please!
6) One character per account.
1) Don't stretch the board. Fifth letter: K
2) In posts, don't exceed about 640x480. For signatures, keep it either the same or banner-like. Just no stretching.
3) No mature content.
1) Obey ProBoards terms of service.
2)Respect the staff. Sixth letter: A Occasional wisecracks are fine, but keep it civil.
3) Be friendly. No trolling, flaming, cyberbullying, bashing, et cetera.
4) Don't be shy! We're friendly here.Because if anyone isn't, you smashed now.
